.obj option status - show in project list?

[shugundala]

In previous versions of CVI, the project list shows whether an object is compiled to .obj, or not. I can't find how to show this in the newest CVI.

Hello, shugundala!

As of LabWindows/CVI 2013, that feature is no longer available.

This is the a related forum post, where this matter has been previously discussed:

Thanks for the reply.

I read all that stuff and it flys over my head. I just don't get why somewhere there can't be a list that keeps track and you give me a little red dot in the list. I have a project with about 60+ files, so this is very annoying on something that used to not only not be not annoying, but was usable and useful.

I guess this is related to the fact that if I have one program in debug, the rest in .obj (of course, I'm not quite sure, since there's no indication) - I change one line of code, tell it to build, and the entire project builds. In the previous version, only that file recompiles. That was nice. If this is the way it has to be, it's a bit of an annoyance when you're building 50 times a day.

Oh, Johannes - I don't think you're not a CVI programmer, as I first thought, so ignore where I asked you to provide an option. And thanks again.

And let me say, while I complain above, CVI is the best programming tool I've ever used, and about 99% of my work over the last 20 years. I just like knowing who my .obj's are!
