FPGA Bitfile Name & Location

[dwisti]

FPGA bitfiles should not have any dependency on the project name or target name.  What if you change the name of your project?  What if you change the name of the target?  These dependencies should only correspond to the VI and its location in the project tree and FPGA target. FPGA bitfiles should be in the same directory as the vi but with a different extension.

Change the automatic name and path of FPGA bitfiles from:

.\FPGA Bitfiles\ProjectName.lvprog_TargetName_ViName.vi.lvbitx

to

.\ViName.vi.lvbitx

I second this. I was just bit today from the above described behavior!

Well... I guess Labview 2010 FPGA build spec solved this idea.
