LabWindows temporary files that can be ignored for version control


I adding an older LabWindows project to version control. What is the temporary files that I can ignore for version control perpuses. I assume all the *.niobj and .cdb files can be ignored as they will be recreated from the source? Any other files?

I am using LabWindows/CVI version 7.0 to support legacy hardware but I assume the underling files is still the same for newer versions.


Solution

  • Old question, but the answer is still good to know.

    Files to put under version control: .prj, .uir, .tui (you should add auto generation of those in the user interface editor as .uir are useless for version control), .ico, .png, .jpg, .gif, etc...

    Debatable whether or not to put under version control: .cws (workspace file including the various prj file, it changes at every use but it's good to have it the very first time after a git clone)

    Files to NOT put under version control: .cds (debug), .dbs, .lib, .exe, .obj, .S...
