File/Folder Rename

Maybe they changed something in Explorer in newer versions b


I don't think anything has changed.  I remember this behavior in Windows XP with LabVIEW 2009.  I have always used the DLL call for a move or rename when dealing with lots of files or large amounts of data.

 

It also is useful for other things like when you have explorer windows open to a folder you are renaming.  Using the LabVIEW rename that window goes up a folder to one that exists.  With the DLL rename it will update the already open window to show the new named one.
