Feature request: In ===Tools -> Update VI calls -> Type of calls To Update -> Process Standard VI Calls=== add resave/recompile option.

Status: New

In thw Sequence editor, in Tools -> Update VI calls  - > Type of calls To Update -> Process Standard VI Calls another two entries could be added in the combo box. Apart from existing:

    * Report Problems Only (No Changes Will Be Made)
    * Reload Prototype if Modified
    * Force Prototype to Reload

These two options below shall be consider to be added.

    * Resave (recompile?) Code Module (VI)
    * Resave (recompile?) Code Module (VI) with all dependencies

I think this feature could be used in case like happened to me:


I had to update one of my global TypeDefinition (*.ctl) which is called by a lot of VIs from my project. When I did it, a lot of VIs were suddenly unable to load under RTE. So, manually I had to open every VI called by TS and do Open and Save (accepting recompiling) actions. I don't have to tellyou that was very boring and long task...
