Bug with VI Template (.vit) behavior with express VI's in LV8.6.

[F._Schubert]

Did you try to make the vit reentrant?
Or does the express vi prevent that.

I will need to find that hidden piece of code where I used that cloning technique.

If I was in your shoes I would have converted all your Express VIs to standard sub VIs. I never use Express VIs myself because I find the Express VI concept still to much glued on top on the Labview core. And NI have used cheap glue in the process.

I have also noticed that NI says the "File dialog" function is no longer supported. But if you investigate the functions used in the "File Dialog" Express VI. You will find the old "File Dialog" functions very much alive in the "....\vi.lib\express\express input\FileDialogBlock.llb\subfile dialog.vi" I really do not hope this is a glimpse of a future strategy forcing us to use only Express VIs. Because I have never met an experienced programmer who not dislike the Express VI concept. I think it is a very hazardous strategy from NI, to only focus on the  fresh "out the box" Labview novice, and only throw the Labview veteran a bone now and then.

There are many bones tossed our way. We just hace to look harder since they don't make it into the marketing stuff.
