Ignore SubVI's

Status: Completed
Available in LabVIEW 2011

When loading a VI where some or many of the VI's are missing (like a forum post where the person used 3rd party driver subVI's you don't have or used numerous subVI's and typedef's that they did not bundle into their attachments) you have to click ignore on each subVI as it comes up with the dialog box as it searches for it on your system.  If there are only a few such subVI's, it is no big deal.  But some people will be missing dozens of VI's, and you have to continually click ignore over and over again until the main VI loads broken.

 

It would be good if that dialog box had an Ignore All button, so that once you come across the first subVI it can't find, it will ignore it and all other subVI's it can't find.  Then the main VI can load in it broken state in just one or two clicks.

If you have specific suggestions for what such a utility would do, I recommend writing it up as a new idea for the Idea Exchange. That way it can get evaluated for future versions. The thread here is for refinements for this idea, and we're already pretty far along in the development cycle.

This is a wonderful feature. Is the following problem related?

 

1)  Download a VI from the forums that has a missing dependency.

2)  Add the VI to a project.

3)  Right-click on the VI to see if it's set to run-on-open

4)  Wait a very long time for the dependency load to fail.
