Oops, said 'yes to all' ... does it matter?

[Rudolf Potucek]

Hi!

I just closed a VI and accidentally hit the 'yes to all'
button and labview saved a while bunch of other VIs ...
I didn't make any changes but do I now have to be concerned
that the utility VIs will not behave as expected?

Rudolf,

Most likely you have nothing to worry about:
If you know that you didn't make any changes to the sub-vi's, then what
most likely got saved was the paths to the referenced vis. Whenever you
open a VI on a workstation and the VI references sub-VI's, labview looks for
those sub-VI's in several places. First is the saved location (where the
sub-VI was the last time labview opened this file) and if the sub-VI is not
found there (for example, I check a set of VI's out of source safe after
someone has modified them, but I check them out to a different directory)
labview then has several directories where it searches for the sub-VI's.
Then when you exit, the paths are saved and the sub-VI's updated, even
though you didn't make any code changes.
Ano
ther case where "changes" may be saved where none were made is if you
open a VI in a different version of labview. Example: I create a VI in LV
6.0 and you open it with 6.02. You may be prompted to save, even though no
changes were made.
