Bug? Cannot export shared variable, if it's in a virtual folder within an .lvlib

[JKSH]

Hello,

I was trying to keep my libary of shared variables organized by categorizing the variables into different virtual folders. However, it turns out that variables in virtual folders are excluded from exports, even though they (and their folders) are visible in the Multiple Variable Editor.

Is this by design (in LabVIEW 2012)? If so, what's the rationale?

Thanks!

Hi,

When there are variables inside nested virtual folders within a Library, the multiple variable editor does not work. If you select several variables in a virtual folder and right-click and select Multiple variable editor, the editor opens but you cannot change anything.

Workaround: Convert folders to libraries or move variables under a single folder.

Hi Marand,

My question is about exporting; variables in virtual folders cannot be exported.

Is this a bug, or an intentional limitation?
