Four ways to save a project in LabVIEW 8.5 - any difference?

What are the fundamental differences, if any, between all the different ways to save a project under LV 8.5? Example: "Save All" and "Save All (this Project)" under the project File menu.

From LabVIEW Help:

You can save a LabVIEW project in the following ways:

  • Select File»Save.
  • Select Project»Save Project.
  • Right-click the project root and select Save from the shortcut menu.
  • Click the Save All (this Project) button on the Project toolbar. You also can select File»Save All (this Project) or right-click the project root and select Save All (this Project) from the shortcut menu.

File>>Save will save the current document. So, in a VI window, it will save the VI. In a project window, it saves the project.

Project>>Save Project
will save the project associated with the current document. So, in a VI window, it will save the project (if the VI is opened from one). In a project window, it (obviously) saves the project.

The shortcut menus is the same as the File menu Save.

Save All (this Project) saves all open files in the current open project.
