Refresh NIPM UI using API/ CLI

[Raul2203]

Hello, 

I have developed a tool which registers feeds to NIPM using the NIPM API.

To see the new Packages available from the newly registered feeds, I have to always refresh the NIPM UI by pressing the F5 key.

I tried adding the Refresh All Feeds.vi available in the NIPM API library in my program but that also doesn't seem to force refresh on the NIPM UI.

Also tried the nipkg update on the CLI to no avail.

Q: Is there any way with which I could force refresh the NIPM UI from API or CLI?

Thank you!

Basically it seems like NIPM only updates automatically on open or when F5 is pressed.

Bill is correct, I am not aware of any external mechanism to request an already launched NI Package Manager GUI to refresh its in list of installed or available packages. The GUI will not see changes until F5 is used, or the user does some operation that triggers the GUI to update, e.g., edit the list of feeds.
