Dedicated processes for every Labview Instance

Hey everyone,

 

here is my first suggestion.

It is a bit annoying to have two Projects open within a single Labview.exe Process.

 

Why?

For example if i want to compare my Project Settings of the two Project to sync them, i have to:

- open project settings of Project_1

- memorise the settings

- close project settings of Project_2

- edit setting with memorised informations

- repeat for every settingpage

 

This works for every dialog, Open, save.....

 

You have to do this because the SettingsDialog blocks every opend project. Please treat every instance independent of each other.

 

Regards

Ronny

If you want to be able to open multiple instances of LabVIEW then you just need to add the line "allowmultipleinstances = TRUE" to your LabVIEW.ini file.

 

Personally I'm happy to limit to one instance of LabVIEW by default, but it is useful to know that you can open more when you need to 🙂
