How do I (easily) change an app to use a different library with different name but same names for public calls?

When doing some comparisons between programming approaches I create two libs with the same public calls but different internals. Nothing special there. Unfortunately when I switch my testing app from one lib to the other the app loader asks for all the public vi's one by one. But I thought I read somewhere that the app loader would get the idea where to look after I browsed to the first public call in the new lib. Doesn't seem to work. Using 2010.

Pull the unused lib off of the machine. Rename the current library to the same name as the unused one. Project Save All. Close LabVIEW. Delete current lib. Copy the other lib back to the machine. Not necessarily easy but that's how I've done similar exercises in the past.

Thanks Charles. I've been doing basically what you describe, but it is crude and offensive. So let's see what comes up in a day or two more, hope we'll both learn something. Or not.
