Enable "This VI's Callers" for malleable VI (vim) files

Status: Declined

Reported as Bug 1131703.

I just noticed the Find VI's Callers option isn't available when trying to find callers for a vim file.

So the idea is to allow this option for malleable VIs!

It's disabled for all inlined VIs. So if possible, enable it for all inlined VIs, not just malleable VIs.

 

I mostly use Find All Instances.

 

"Find All Instances" seems to do the same, so I don't think there are technical reasons why "This VI's Callers" is disabled.

Dataflow_G: I never noticed. Good catch. Found and fixed this morning... should be in SP1. Fixed both callers of malleables and regular VIs listing subVIs that were malleables.

Wiebe: Regular inline VIs seem to work fine for me in LV 2020. I didn't test anything earlier. It does pick up *all* the inlined subVIs recursively, not just the direct inlined subVIs. That could either be called a bug or a feature. I'm not going to change that behavior.

Ah, it's also disabled if there are no callers. Makes sense. My quick test was too quick. Sorry about the noise.
