LabVIEW Idea Exchange
The operating system takes a long time to open an application when you need to open many file, if we group files in larger files, the times are reduced. With LabVIEW we can create libraries ".llb" is a really funky zipfile, but it is a file that was introduced to provide functionality in the past.
Like Java uses the ".jar" to create packages and distribute the code more easily. They are built on the ZIP format and typically have a ".jar" file extension; LabVIEW uses the ".vip" to create packages with VIPM. VI Packages are similar to zip files in that they contain all the VIs and resources for a specific LabVIEW add-on. But ".vip", are not recognized by LabVIEW in the project tree, instead ".llb" files, we can access its contents from the project tree of LabVIEW.
From a labview project, we can build a ".zip" file. (Build Specifications>New>Zip File). But if we enclose the project in the .zip file, it does not show us the content tree.
My proposal is that LabVIEW can recognize the contents of the ".zip" files, as well as the ".vip", to be able to access its contents and be able to use the lvlib, lvlibp, class, vi ... that are contained. In this way, we can use ".vip" files in <vilib> \ *, <urllib> \ * ... and be able to use its contents without needing to unzip it.
