If I have code that I want to make available in multiple LabVIEW versions (e.g. 7.0, 7.1, 8.2) how do I go about doing that?
If I put the different versions in the zip file, how do I indicate that when loading the new file? The CR page states what the LabVIEW version is, so would I just put some notes on the description stating that there are actually several LabVIEW versions contained contained in the zip file? Thanks, David

If you were to use OpenG Pakcage file (ogp) then you could defined different versions of your librarie(s) to be installed under different LabVIEW versions. If you were to do this, then the ogp version becomes THE unique version. You do not have to worry about where or how to document the different versions included in your zip file. Unfortunately, if you have never made an ogp, this will requires a little bit of work to get started. Just a though. PJM --------------------

Is there a reason for the different versions? Can you just publish the lowest version? Others can just recompile up. Otherwise, just indicate the latest version and please put all the other versions in the description.

My latest CR submission was written in version 8.2. I originally started writing it in 7.1, but there are new control properties in 8.2 that give more information. Plus some subtle changes in how events were handled required a change. So the code for 7.1 is distinct from 8.2.

Here I show how to have multiple Typefs for multiple versions. The OpenG packager, is just an advanced copy function. It tells VIPM (via the OGP file) which files should be copied where. And the possibilities are endless, you can include OS specific VIs/dll/libs. You can include labview version specific help documentation. Using OpenG packager can be hard, and documentation is on the to-do-list but might take a while. Ton --------------------
