Allow "search and replace" even the reference is broken

[Zafer.Depe]

Sometimes you need to change the name of the library (class) or you need to change dependent library (class) and everything becomes broken. It is really painful to replace broken subVIs one by one. I wish "search and replace" functionality is available for these broken subVIs.

If I get your problem right then I think there are options that partially solve your issue.

I suspect that you are working inside a project. If so, there is an option on the context menu to replace a whole library, that will also replace all the VIs that are not found, in every caller.

Also, there is an option to replace the VIs that are not part of the library from the project window, with a context menu option, that will also replace all the instances of that VI.

Additionally the project window will place a yellow exclamation mark ⚠️ on the icon of the missing or conflicted items.

All these are also working for the items in the dependencies.

This doesn't seams to work with classes tough.

I think that it would be great if these context menu items would also work for classes too. And from the top of my head I cannot find any reason why it shouldn't.
