FW: OpenG builder and beta software

[Brian G. <bri...@da...>]

Here's a note that I sent to Jim earlier explaining what's in the latest
release of LVC.  I forgot to copy the list in on the first send, so here =
it
is.

Hi Jim,

This is now available by adding Auto=3DTrue to the LVC_Action.ini file.  =
The
LVC_Action.exe UI still flashes since a window has to be open for the =
exe to
complete.  Let me know how it works for you.  I was thinking of putting =
a
small delay that would allow a function key to override the automatic
feature?=20

I haven't completed this yet due to the fact that I want to allow for a
plug-in architecture.  Here are some of the other actions that I was
considering adding to the right-click (or extended SHIFT right-click) =
menu:
  -LLB to Directory
  -Mass Compile
  -Print
  -Use as template (operate on directory =3D> copy and then use OpenG =
rename
folder of vis...)

The latest version can downloaded at
http://downloads.dataact.com/LVC-1.0.10.369(beta)-setup.exe

Or use the update button from the LVC_About window

There is a problem with the 1.0.8.334 uninstaller, but it shouldn't =
matter
if you are planning on upgrading since there is no need to uninstall LVC
before installing a newer version.  However, if anyone wants to be able =
to
uninstall 1.0.8.334 without upgrading here is a link to a working
uninstaller (This will only work if you have not tried to uninstall with =
the
current uninstaller)

http://downloads.dataact.com/Uninstall.zip

I also added the ability to get another file's version by dragging it to =
an
empty space on the LVC_Version window.

My idea of the keeping LVC in the system tray isn't going to work since =
the
NI DDE VIs don't allow a DDE server to receive commands.

I will let you know when the plug-in architecture is ready.

Regards,
Brian
