clean-up feature for frontpanel items as well

Similar feature for clean-up of front panels as well as the one for block diagram's would be really time saving.

 

Mainly for subvi's which are not intended as user interfaces. I find it tedious work tidy'ing up controls and indicators just to get a small compact front panel on my sub vis.

How about a Front Panel Cleanup? I certainly agree. Check out the comments on that post also, showing how the FP Cleanup would match the Connector Pane of the SubVI.

 

Why I want this feature:

1. Eliminates one of the more time-consuming processes I face when creating SubVI's.

2. Perfect companion for "Edit > Create SubVI".

3. It arguably could be even more useful and could be more accurate than the BD Cleanup, because my SubVI Front Panels maintain a rigid organizational standard, while BD's are typically just too variegated to apply a strict ruleset to and expect a beautiful outcome. (That being said, it should take less resources to implement than the BD cleanup did?? Less cost to develop a tool that is more helpful = low hanging fruit.... but that's just an outsider's opinion)
