Mark VIs and other files to Separate Compiled Code tool can be used to mark/unmark a directory hierarchy of VIs and project libraries to separate compiled code from source file. It provides a way to batch convert Files outside the project interface.
System Requirement: LabVIEW 2010 or later
Usage: Place the "SeparateCompiledCode.llb" in your <LabVIEW>/project folder.
After restarting LabVIEW, you will be able to find "Mark VIs Separate Compiled Code..." in your tools menu.
This can indeed be very useful!
Please download the latest version. The first version had a bug where it would only mark VIs but not other file types.
broken for files inside .llb's
Thank you for reporting this bug. I've updated the tool so it now works for files inside .llbs
Will this funcationality work with LabVIEW 2015?
Yes, this works with 2015.
Kudos on the great tool! I am baffled as to why this has not been incorporated into LabVIEW.
Could someone comment on the usage of the tool? Should I first clear compiled object cache, run the SeparateCompiledCode tool on my top level project folder, then follow it with a Mass Compile of that folder?
If I now want to copy this folder to another computer: On the destination computer, first do a clear compiled object cache, dopy the vis over, do Mass Compile on the new vis?
