Enhanced Insert QuickDrop - fixed terminals for more nodes

Hi,

 

I have been frustrated with that some VIs don't get "correctly" wired when using the Insert QuickDrop action. 

There might be different opinions about how they should get wired but I wanted to fix it at least for "Format Into String" and "Pretty Print.vi" from the JSONtext library.

After I found the "Insert_Fix Node Terminals.vi" in the plugin (thank you, Darren!), it was very easy to add more cases to modify the terminal wiring of those VIs.

As the "Pretty Print.vi" is not native i had to add an extra case structure to select upon the VI name.

Installation:
Make a backup of the original VI in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2023\vi.lib\Utility\QuickDropSupport\Insert_Fix Node Terminals.vi

Then overwrite with the attached VI. 

 

More Nodes?

I started building a scripting tool which could modify the VI instead of replacing and it would allow to select which modifications to install.

Would that be interesting to have on Github?
