Hi all,
I stumbled upon this LabWindows/CVI Project Manager, an extension for Visual Studio Code, and honestly it looks like Jerry Crozet has done more for LabWindows/CVI lately than NI itself.
I’ve just installed it and will check if it can fit into my workflow and finally stop the constant crashes I get with the default IDE.
I haven’t tried contacting him yet because I’m short on time, but maybe he’s around here.
