VI Hierarchy: File View

I won't argue the relative greatness of LV Projects and sliced bread, but since a vast majority of my LV code is run on my development machine I often find them to be unnecessary.  Apparently I am not alone, as I just discovered this in the Idea Exchange:

It just so happens that I have this guy sitting in my LVxx/project folder so it appears in my Tools menu:

I never really assumed anybody in their right mind would want this so I haven't fully debugged or cleaned up, but it works for my purposes.  Just drop the attached LLB into your project folder, restart LV and you have the option for VI Hierarchy - File View in the Tools menu.  Now you can see the paths used by all of the subVIs.  Double-click to open, Ctrl-Dbl click to get the Block Diagram as well.
