Add a VI to a project using scripting from a quick drop plugin

[Worle]

I have written a quick drop plugin which creates and saves a unit test from a template and adds it to the block diagram of the open VI and puts it in a diagram disable structure.

I want to also add this newly created VI to the project in a virtual folder called 'Tests' in the hierarchy level that the open VI is currently in.

There are a few things that I cannot work out

• How to identify where the current VI is in the project (In terms of if it is in a library, in a virtual folder etc)
• What target the current VI is in
• How to add the new VI (unit test) to a particular virtual folder in a project/library
• How to create a new virtual folder

I think this may end up being too complicated but I would be keen to know if anyone can think of a way of solving some of these points.

For reference I have attached the current quick drop plugin I have cobbled together very quickly to see if it is actually of use.
