Refresh User.lib option without restarting LabVIEW

[rcpacini]

It would be nice to have an option to "Refresh User.lib" folder without having to restart LabVIEW to save some time required for a LabVIEW restart.

There's already a method which does exactly that. You can find it in the Application class, under Palettes>>Refresh.

Nice tst. Then should be easy to NI implement a command in the LabVIEW UI, avoiding a restart. Kudos!

I really don't feel this needs to be anywhere in the GUI. The menus are over-populated as it is without adding stuff which will only get used once-in-who-knows-how-long.

If you really want to have this in a menu, create a VI which calls this method and place it in the <LabVIEW>\Project or <LabVIEW>\Wizard folder and restart LV. This will add it to the Tools and File menus, respectively.

W would prefer as a button in the Function palette. Nice to know how can be done by ourselves. Thanks tst.
