Fully Qualified VI Name (in VI Properties dialog) should be selectable with cursor for copy to clipboard

Status: New

I find myself often wanting to copy (to the clipboard) a VIs fully qualified name (i.e. including it's library and class prefixes), so that I can paste somewhere else, like in documentation, emails, code, etc.  However, it's not possible to easily do this.  I LOVE that I can copy a VI's path on disk to the clipboard from the VI Properties dialog, but it would be great if it were possible to also do this with the VI's fully qualified name (as shown in the screenshot below).

An Open Folder button below the location would be nice too.

Perhaps ability to drag icon onto Windows Explorer to create a 'shortcut'...  Similar to a web browser's bookmark creation.

(Could a shortcut point to a specific VI inside of an LLB, etc?)

If this idea is implemented, please add a Label "Fully Qualified VI Name" for better understanding, esp for new users. Smiley Happy

 

In my recent training program, some trainees did ask me what the name (label) of this VI name was, and I was not able to recollect it immediately. Smiley Frustrated
