Allow "Create snippet" without selection --> snip the entire diagram

Status: New

CURRENT: If nothing is selected, we cannot create a snippet.

 

IDEA: This situation should be allowed and a snippet of the entire diagram be created if nothing is selected.

 

(Also, the menu entry should be named "create snippet" instead of "create snippet from selection" for simplicity.)

I have tried to add such a feature to the Code Capture Tool, and found out that using scripting a 'Select All' only selected the objects and not the wires. I can understand how this is a problem for the official snippet tool as well.

I had no trouble doing a 'Select All' of the TopLvlDiag and getting all objects including wires and then converting to a Snippet using my usual Copy/Paste hack or my newer CreateSubVI and clean up the mess version.
