TestStand can not search VI's in a LLB file

I have converted all my VI's in directory structure into LLB's so that I can manage better.
Since then, I have to specified each steps such that I have to search the VI into LLB file.
TestStand can search specified directories for any VI that is not in a LLB file.
But, can not search through the LLB file.
I wonder if there is any seeting that I missed that allow search into LLB's as well.

Hi LegalEngineer,
 
The best solution is to have all your VI's that interface directly with TestStand outside a LLB keeping your sub VI's in a LLB or you have to switch to absolute pathnames.

I selected the absolute pathname of a VI in an LLB and then cut off everything before the LLB name to form a relative path.  For example, my relative path was: dspxmpl.llb\Parseval's Theorem.vi
 
I then added the directory with the LLB to the search directories and TestStand found the VI.

Yeah, what a fiddle......
 
That's why I adopted along time ago, having only the subVI's in LLBs and those directly called by TestStand, outside the LLB.
