Export Entire project with restructuring

[KHartley]

Currently the only want to back up an entire lvproj and all the vis is with Save to Previous Version. Otherwise you need to create a source distribution or zip file for each system (my computer, crio, FPGA). Could we add a project build spec that would allow you preserve the project structure like in Save to Previous Version but allow you to customize the output folders to help users reorganize their projects when moving from computer to computer. 

It could feel very similar to a source distrbution but for the entire project. So any dependencies are also pulled for their respective 

Ideally everyone would have they project nicely organized in a folder with perfect subfolders but when you're given a project written by someone else, sometimes files are scattered everywhere and we end up missing dependencies when moving.

Finally a soulmate

Especially if one (almost) never build executables, it is cumbersome to be forced to create a source distribution.

I work in a research lab where we only use the LabVIEW development S/W to anticipate on inevitable changes during research projects.

For a long time I didn't even know "create a source distribution" was the way to go if you don't want to "save for previous version".

I always wonder why other people don't miss this suggested idea.

so kudos!!
