Figure 82 - General options page

Check for Package Updates on Startup: Enabling this option will compare the packages currently listed in your library with the ones available over the internet every time VIPM is launched. If you do not have a continuous connection to the internet then you may want to turn this option off to speed up the loading of VIPM.

Check for New Version of VIPM on Startup: Enabling this option will check for the newer version of VIPM over the internet every time it is launched. If a new version is available, you will get a pop-up dialog indicating this, with the option to download.

Show Only Installable Packages: This option will filter the packages list to only display packages installable on the selected LabVIEW version or operating system.

Show Deprecated packages: This setting will show deprecated packages in you rpackage list. Note: Deprecated packages will still be shown, if they are installed, regardless of this setting.

Show VIPM Legend: This option can toggle the VIPM legend on or off. If the legend is already visible, then this can turn the legend off. The legend is displayed in the bottom right corner of the package list.

Refresh LabVIEW Palettes After Package Installation: Will cause the LabVIEW palettes to be refreshed after packages are installed or uninstalled, which avoids the need to restart LabVIEW.
