Basic: what is mass compile (LV updater 6.0.2)?

[Mauro]

I received LV updater 6.0.2 and when I run it, it asked whether I wanted to perform mass compile. What is this? what are its advantages/disadvantages?

[Gorka Larrea]

Mass compile will update all your vi's in the refered directories to LV 6.0.2. This is good if you want that, but if you want to mantain some vi's in a previous release form to open them with it, you must avoid including them.
Hope this helps

Advantage: all of the VIs are updated at once.

Disadvantage: takes a long time.

Each of the VIs that you open that are in a previous version will ask if you want to save them in teh new version when you close anyway. I think that not updating and just doing them "as you use them" is the better way to go (for saving time).

On the other hand, I told my computer to mass compile and then went home for the evening. Pick your time.
