file types in llb

[D60]

Hello,

I am looking for a complete list of file types that can be saved into *.llb. Is there any?

Thanks in advance!

Are you planning to put a movie into an LLB? The LLB is not meant to be a general storage container. It was invented back in the day when Windows had a limitation of filenames (8.3 naming) and to get around the "this character is illegal in the filename on this OS". These days LLBs should only be used for source code distribution. If you need a more general storage container, you should be using something like a .zip file.

VI's and controls. Maybe mnu in newer versions. Long live the LLB

Thank you for all your replies. I would like to create a VI that discover a selected folder to convert it an LLB file. 

Is there any VI for that purpose? ( Check and convert folder to LLB )

Try the llb manger under tools directory in LabVIEW.

Thank you but " I would like to create a VI". so this way fails...

Please be more clear and consistent in what you are asking. So far you've asked 3 different questions:

• What file types can be placed inside an LLB
• How to programmatically convert a directory into an LLB
• How to create a VI (this last one makes no sense)

Exactly what are you asking?

[ErnieH]

Just do a "save as", Select new llb, and give it a name. You can also save to a existing llb

Sorry for that, so here is my goal.

There is a folder contains may types of files: vi, lvlilb, txt and so on... I would like to make a VI that convert a given folder to LBB.

• What file types can be placed insinde and LLB - is required for me to remove unwanted files
• How to programmatically convert a directory into an LLB - I hope there is a VI what I can use as LLB Manager does for converting direcotries to LLB.

Yes you are right, the last question is not important...

The LLB Manager VIs are in the <LabVIEW>project\llbedit.llb VIs. You should be able to find what you're looking for in there. 

You still haven't explained why you want to do this.
