If you select an LLB, you can click Convert LLBs to Dirs to convert it to
a directory. If you select a directory and click this button, the tool scans for
all LLBs within that directory and gives you the option to convert them to
directories. The new directory is created in the same location as the
original LLB.
If you assign the new directory a name that differs from that of the original
LLB, LabVIEW searches for the files that were within the LLB when
calling a VI (even when the name is the same minus the
.llb extension).
When you convert an LLB to a directory, you have the option to back up
the LLB (the
.llb extension changes to .llx).
To convert a directory to an LLB, select a directory and click Convert Dirs

Click Check Filenames to scan a directory or VI library for
platform-dependent filenames. The tool scans all filenames for invalid
characters (
:, \, /, ?, *, <, >, or |) and verifies filenames to be 31 characters
or less (a limitation on the Macintosh). The Check Filenames option also
scans files within LLBs. These files are portable, even if their names
