Open folder in file explorer
This is an useful snippet I've using for a long time, and still works fine in Windows 10 (though obviously won't in Linux machines). Say you have saved a new data file and you want to show it to the user. Well, this VI does it for you. If the input path is a folder, it just shows it. If it's a file, opens its containing folder and the file appears selected. It's really simple and uses a system call: Here you have it for LabVIEW '16. Download (VI for LabVIEW 2016) When managing files and folders, the function to release the current directory we saw some time ago can also be helpful.
