Prevent LabVIEW from searching for missing files

[PhilCarterNG]

Is there a way to prevent LabVIEW from searching for missing VIs? If I load a VI and one of its dependencies has moved, I want LabVIEW to immediately fail and ask me where the file is.

Hi Phil,

I want LabVIEW to immediately fail and ask me where the file is.

Click the "abort" option in the missing file dialog box…

If I load a VI and one of its dependencies has moved

The main question is: why do you move dependencies of main VIs at all?

OK, I'll just do that.

This code has lots of dead code/unneeded VIs in it, and I want to take some of it out and have LabVIEW tell me what just broke, so I can remove the calls to those VIs. It's a mess... It looks like somebody redesigned halfway through writing the code, and left a lot of old code in.

Well, if I hit Stop, it seems like it would stop loading everything, rather than loading only the files that it can find. I guess I'll just hit escape every time it prompts me for a file. I should have most of the dead code out soon anyway, so it will stop prompting me for files.

What version of LabVIEW are you using?

Just hit ignore.  It stops loading the files it can't find and loads the ones it can.

I'm using LabVIEW 2014. "Ignore All" looks like it's doing what I want. Thanks.
