Property Inspector 5.0

Automate VI search, analysis and edit operations easily and run free community scripts on multiple VIs.

Unlimited macros automate 99% of features with simple text commands. Run macros using CLI or Solution Explorer. (See Sample Macros)

ABCDEF updates their developer productivity utility that easily searches and edits properties of multiple VIs simultaneously to help save development time and optimize product quality. Additionally, it is powerful analytical tool. It quickly performs over 100 operations that would otherwise be impractical, if not impossible with standard LabVIEW.

Sort any 2 columns by clicking on the header (i.e. Data, Code or File Size, Date Modified or Revision). Can revert back to unsorted. Filter the results by 20 item types to see only controls, VIs, strict typedefs, globals or class private data Edit 23 of the properties automatically by selecting all or some VIs including Description and Password.  Powerful string manipulation functions can prepend, append, replace or remove the entire string. Delete orphan files by comparing every file below the project with the project, including LLBs Quickly find all VIs in the project by: Blank Description Default Description (Use this template to...) Broken State Allow Debugging Enabled Auto Error Handling Enabled Older LabVIEW Version Obsolete Runtime Menu High Data Size before execution Not loaded In Memory Re-entrancy On or Off Re-entrancy Pre-allocate or Shared Highest Revision Number Modification Date or Status Separate Compiled Code from Source Code Contained in a specific Class or Excluded from any Class Contained in a specific Library or Excluded from any Library Transparency Enabled, or by specific threshold Longest load time

There are six new ground-breaking features that are unique to Property Inspector that you just have to try:

1. Persistent Selection™: Selected items remain selected after changing the Object Filter, Search Criteria, or Sort Order
2. Global Exclusion™: All string parameters can be searched simultaneously for a string to EXCLUDE!
3. Sort by any column/Revert back to Unsorted
4. Compound Sorting: Each sort is optionally based on the previous sort results
5. Recall 40 favorite compound searches 
6. Repeat each of the last 40 searches 

This utility is very versatile and configurable. Select only some of the 44 columns you want to display to search for the properties that most fit your requirements. Sort the results by any column. Enable each of the 20 object types relevent to your needs. Search within the existing result by a different item to narrow the scope. Searching and sorting are allowed on hidden objects and properties.

Open a project, LVLib or LVClass file. Easily delete files not in memory or broken. Save selected items or the entire results list. Easily set or remove password protection for the selected items. Open dozens of front panels or block diagrams together and close them in a single operation.

Powerful scripting capability allows many more operations with just a small amount of custom code. Download popular Quick Drop plugin scripts from the Quick Drop Enthusiasts page and apply them to all or some of your VIs at once. Choose the front panel or the block diagram as the target. There are many VI Analyzer plugin scripts available on the VI Analyzer page. These scripts analyze many element of code structure and can be quickly modified to change the code. A custom VI Script can return a failure and PI can reselect the items that failed. This allows custom search criteria. Write your own scripts using the included templates or download these Sample Scripts.

Macros can automate complex or repetitive task using simple text commands. Macros can also reconfigure the Property Inspector user experience by changing all settings or loading a new set of Favorites. Several macro features contain options not available in the standard UI. Macros can call other macros. Macros can be created with a text editor or the built-in Macro Editor. The editor includes over 1400 commands in the pull-down menu and has powerful shortcuts to assemble macros from other macros. Unlimited parameters can be passed from the command line to a macro and to called macros. Several built-in parameters allow runtime customization. They can be run from the Macro menu, Macro Editor, PI5 Macro Selector, desktop batch files, or using the LabVIEW CLI interface.
