When you want to automate the LabVIEW IDE then you should use scripting…
Understood. I need to take some time to learn scripting 🙂
I'd recommend you learn VI Server first... Scripting gets complex fast.
I'll have a deeper look at it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, about that, I had other issues that I noticed here ...
I'm lucky that I can, for now, avoid them... I watch the discussions, and let other sort things out. I pick my battles 😊, and I have plenty others. Sorry...

haha no worries, I was just pointing out that using packed libraries doesn't necessarily solve the problem of code protection sadly.

I'm pretty sure packed libraries remove source code from a library.
It's basically a dll while keeping the VI API, so you can use the functions like normal VIs, but without diagram. Are you sure you tested packed libraries? Those are not regular libraries.

I have developed a LabVIEW addon that enables simple scripts to be run on multiple VIs, selected using a compound search and sort by individual properties. Both QuickDrop and VI Analyzer scripts are supported. Several sample scripts are available to get you going quickly. Setting the password on multiple VIs is a built-in feature. Free 30 day trial includes unlimited use.

They surely do, but not if you enable debugging, which I had to because some VIs won't execute otherwise... And still couldn't find why.
