Is there a way to keep Project Explorer from "saving" libraries?

Solved!
Go to solution

We use a source control tool (accurev) for storing our common libraries.  When you pull down a library from accurrev to use in a new project, accurev places a read only file lock on the new library, which we want since we don't want a developer accidently changing their local copy of the library.  However when you add the library (a lvlib) and click "Save All" in the project explorer, the project explorer tries to save the libraries that are read only and barfs errors all over.  You can cancel out of all the errors and click the "save without prompts" but it is highly annoying and slows down development.  Is there any way to tell Labview not to save the libraries, only the VIs?

 

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, no, as far as I know. There is an option to treate read-only VIs as locked, but it does not extend to libraries. You may wish to post a suggestion in the LabVIEW Idea Exchange forum.
