Allow user to discard changes in a SubVI

Sometimes one makes changes in a sub VI which should not be saved, but when one closes the front panel it is only possible to select the "defer decision" button.

 

When one intend to continue programming in the main VI and want to save this changes at a later time, one has to close the main VI first, than to reopen it and continue programming, otherwise the undesired subVI changes would be saved too.

 

An easy solution, for this problem, whould be to equip all "save changes before closing" windows with one "save" and one "don't save" button.

There is no reason to defer the decision if changes should be saved or not.

The reason for having a defer button is that sometimes you do want to defer and only decide later. If what you want is a "don't save" button, where the changes are kept, but you are not asked to save later, then this has already been suggested - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Do-Not-Save-Option/idi-p/971687

 

If what you want is to discard the changes, you could use the existing File>>Revert option. If you look at the comments for the other idea you will see why NI doesn't want to put that option in this dialog.
