There are times when I will open a VI, make tweaks to it to test an idea. In some (most?) cases those ideas do not pan out so I just want to close the VI without saving it. However, the only choices I get are to defer or save it. If I defer it then when I close the whole project, where there may be some 80 vis that need to be updated, I have to step through manually to ensure that I don't accidentally save the changes to the VI that I don't want. A lot of times, I end up saving all and then I have to debug and remember the changes that I made to the VI to get it back to its original configuration.
My suggestion: When asking the programmer if they want to defer or save the VI, have an option to just close the VI without saving. Then upon closing the project, have a second pop-up that states that "These are VIs that were closed without saving you may:
"Close all without saving"
"Save All"
"Save specific VI(s)"
Thanks for listening,
Dan
