[LabVIEW 2014 SP1] Choosing source file settings for all selected files

[jac_d]

Hello,

as for building a distribution with LabVIEW 2014 SP1, is there a way to apply a file attribute to all selected files? If I go to Installer Properties » Source File Settings » File and Folder Attributes I can only select one file at a time and set its properties instead of selecting all the files I want and setting the same properties for all of them at once.

Hi jac_d, 

To be sort, no you can't. To my knowledge there isn't any option to configure it for multi files. You have to do it separately one-by-one.

Too bad there seems to be no such option.

I wonder if it can be done with following LabVIEW releases.

I haven't looked, but presumably all of these settings are stored in the .lvproj file, which is XML, so you should be able to edit it (including programmatically) to set what you want. It's highly recommended to create a backup copy before you do this and you should do this when the project is not loaded in LV.

There is an API for working with the application builder, but I'm not sure how much of it is available in 2014 and it's not a public API, so I wouldn't recommend trying to figure that out.
