Comments on: What’s that .lvlps file next to my LabVIEW 8.6 project?

Despite what the NI guys say, the lvlps files were never around in LV 8.5. I never used 8.5.1, so maybe there is some confusion there. Thanks for the quick answer on whether or not they belong in source code control.

Hi Kamran: It’s great to hear from LabVIEW R&D on this. Thanks for sharing.

A little late on this thread, but I just updated all my google reader feeds to try and add in the different LabVIEW related blogs. All this information is correct, you won’t see the lvps in the project tree itself unless you use an auto-populating folder. It will exist on disk of course. At one point I think we considered storing the information in the project file or the ini file but storing in the project file wouldn’t work well with Source Control. There was some discussion about weather or not to show these types of files in auto-populating folders but didn’t do it because the auto-populating folders wouldn’t be accurate representations.

Jeffrey: Thanks for the info. I wonder why I didn’t noticed this file until now

FWIW: This was introduced in LabVIEW 8.5, I guess mainly to facilitate the per-project setting of source code control.
