We have over 400+ VIs in several disk folder trees that we use as a library (our test framework). We also Use TestStand sequences and Microsoft Visual Studio Assembies to boot.
Every time you close all your VIs in preparation to move to another set, the Getting Started window pops up right in the middle of the screen in front of everything you're doing. Since we use Windows Explorer to move around in the folder trees and select VIs from there to open, you have to take time to minimize the Getting Started window each time. It's very annoying.
Even if you move the G.S window to the bottom of the screen and minimize it, it pops back up right in the middle again after all VIs are closed. This might be great for a newbie who's not used to using any other means than the G.S. window to open VIs, but for long time users it's a pain.
LV2009 would be so much nicer if it included some options to control this behavior. Such as an option to stay minimized if manually minimized. Or whether to pop up again after all VIs are closed. Also, it should remember it's position/size if manually moved or re-sized, and should probably always open up in this position/size. In this case there should be an option to reset it's location in case it's lost.
In my humble opinion.. 🙂
