To CVI dev team,
I am not sure if this would be considered a bug, but the Options->Generate DLL Import Library... utility has at least one unpredictable behavior.
The utilities purpose is straight forward enough, but making a wrong assumption about what file to use (or enter) when the FileSelectPopup appears can result in the CVI environment collapsing.
During my first attempt at using this utility, I made the wrong assumption that I was to enter the desired target filename into the filename box at the bottom of the FileSelectPopup, for example - test_dll.lib. But doing that caused the environment to crash immediately. On my second attempt, I discovered that the correct thing to do is to select the .dll that corresponds with the import library that is to be created. This resulted in the desired outcome.
As I have said, I am not sure this would be a bug (afterall , the utility work well) but I am sure that having the environment collapse when an incorrect selection is made, or when a filename is entered instead of selected is an unintended behavior.
