OK, guess I've got to do it myself... This piece of code (SaveDirToAppDist.vi) is far from as fast as it potentially could be (there's a lot of file overwriting), but it seems to work so far, and it's
way faster than saving each VI individually as an application distribution via File>Save With Options...>yadda yadda yadda. On my 3 GHz P4, it saved ~10 MB of VIs (sans diagrams) in a minute or so.
In Dir2AppDist.zip, I've included a file utility I wrote a long time ago that searches out
all (and I do mean
all) the subirectories of any folder you specify. You could potentially use this to expand upon SaveDirToAppDist.vi in order to save all the VIs in an entire directory tree into one application distribution. That's very cool. But please use this VI with extreme caution if you apply it to other scenarios. Specifically, don't accidentally use it to delete "C:\". That would be bad news, and I don't want to be even indirectly responsible for such a thing ever happening.
Five stars!
