I feel like LV is laughing at me while I try to resolve project conflicts...

I tried looking into other posts involving issues while trying to resolve conflicts but I don't think the cause of my problem is the same...

Here's the story-

I'm trying to re-organize my project files on disk, and then relink and straighten out the project conflicts that moving vi's and other files on disk will cause (I've done this before with no issues... at least I'm preeettty sure I have)

anyway, after moving some files around LV finds some of the vi's that were moved but not all of them- so I right click on one of the vi's in the proj that it cant find and select 'resolve conflicts' to use the dialog...

dialog comes up and I'm totally ready to start resolving some conflicts... 

It lists each vi by name and shows the old path (where it cannot find the vi) and the path where it is currently loaded from...  I select the path that it is currently loaded from and click "Use Selected Item".  The conflict dissapears... and I feel like a real conflict-fixer... until the same conflict pops right back up where it was less than a second later...  I can sit here and keep clicking away, but it keeps popping right back up...

what the heck am I doing wrong?

thanks for any info

Rather than moving the files using the OS and then 'finding' the files, use the Files view of the Project Explorer, right click on the file(s) to be moved and select 'Move on disk'.

This will move the file and update the project at the same time.

Ok- I'm gonna try and move things back to the way they were and follow with your suggestion

Thanks for the quick reply!

crap. 

I messed up somehow...I backed up all the folders before changing anything, but when I open the labview project after 'restoring' the directories theres still all kinds of issues...

I guess my two options are to start over and manually add the necessary vis and libs to a new project or figure out why the dialog for resolving conflicts isn't working for me...

ugh.
