Excluding Directories from a Project

You can exclude directories from a project by editing LabVIEW's list of directories that should be ignored in the SCC system. In general, you do not need to change this setting, although you might want to add a directory of your own if you have specific files you do not need to add to source code control.

Complete the following steps to exclude a directory from a project.

  1. Select Tools»Source Code Control»Launch SCC Provider to open the Source Code Control window.
  2. In the SCC window, select Project»Edit Project to display the Edit Project dialog box.
  3. Click the Exclude Dirs button in the Edit Project dialog box to display the SCC Edit Exclude Directories dialog box.
  4. Click the Add button to add the directory you want to exclude from the project.
  5. Click the Save button.

When you exclude a directory from a project, LabVIEW dims the files you excluded in the project file list. The files are not removed from source code control because multiple projects can share files. Also, the SCC system retains files that are not part of a project because they might be important for revision reasons.
