Add Don't Save and Remove from Project option in save dialogue

Status: New

When closing untitled VIs LabVIEW gives you a dialogue which prompts you to Save changes, Defer or Cancel.

If you Defer Decision then you have to select the VI in the project, remove it and confirm another dialogue prompting to save changes. This means that to close an untitled VI  is a three stage process. This can be quite annoying when you have just created a small bit of test code that is no longer needed.

 

I propose having a fourth option in the original dialogue allowing you to not save the VI and remove it from the project and memory.

> Actually, this is about UNTITLED VIs, i.e., those htat have never been saved.

 

You're right, although technically I think I was more accurate, since in this specific case the VIs do sometimes have a title (for example, if you create an accessor it has a title), whereas "unsaved" does literally mean "something that was not saved"). So, at least English is on my side 😉 .

 

In any case, yes, we're both talking about VIs which have never been saved.
