I have a bunch of VI under a particular lvlib. I thought I would organize the VIs a little, so I created multiple lvlibs under the original lvlib and organized my VIs according. Then, I realized that under the add option, there are file, folder (snapshot), and hyperlink. I am most interested in the folder (snapshot). What does snapshot means? What you explain each options a little?
Is it true that I probalby should create one lvlib and multiple folder (snapshot) under the lvlib to organize my VIs, instead of create multiple lvlibs under one lvlib? Thanks!

No- I cannot explain each snap-shot too you, and really- why would you want this!!! your posts show that you CAN use the LV:help"
You CAN ask a better question than this one.... please do! (Just a Grumpy old man)

A snapshot 'add' option is used to easily import all the files (and sub-folders) into a LabVIEW library or project. The term 'snapshot' means that only the files currently in the folder will be added.

Hi,
Grumpy - I guess it was a bad questions. What I should have asked is what is the preferred way of organizing files in a lvib? Can anyone shed some lights on this?
TC - thanks for explaining this. If you add a fold snapshot (currently have 5 VIs in it) to the lvlib and later add 2 more VIs into the folder, the snap shot folder in the lvlib will still appear to contain the 5 VIs from the moment you created the lvib, and the 2 new files will not show up there, since the snap shot doesn't update the folder?

Hi Jeff,
On a side note, I tried to download the free code capture tool. When I tried to open the vi for installation, the vi try to find a component, but it is unable to do so. Becasue of this, I can't install the tool. Can you help?

jyang,
could you sent a screenshot of the search for the missing component?
Have you extracted the all contents of the zip-file to a folder?
What LabVIEW version on what platform are you on?
Thanks,

Hi,
You were right. I just didn't unzip the file. Thanks!
