Tentative bug report: property node (and other objects) resizes structure in which they are dropped even when this is not needed

This one has bugged me for a while, so, since I am in a mood to report annoying features, here it is:
On the diagram, when you drop an object that could have its size increased by user action (for instance a property node in which you chose "Value", which is a short property, but you could later change this to a "longer" one, which admittedly might require more space on the diagram), a case structure in which you drop it, will automatically increase its size.
Let me illustrate this with ONE example (can be reproduced with other objects such as enums, clusters, etc...).
Here is a simple diagram:
Note that I am going to create a property node from the front panel. This, for a reason that makes the beauty of this "feature", is very important. Apparently, if you create the property node from the diagram, nothing weird happens. The exact location where I will drop the node is not very important but needs to be close enough from the border.
Here is the result (LV 2011 but as I said, this has bugged me for a few versions already):
Basically, the case structure (and the whole diagram as a matter of fact) has expanded.
This is particularly annoying, say, when you are creating a diagram with 10 cases in a case structure and you start dropping things such as property nodes in each case: the structure keeps growing, and growing, and growing...
That also works with Event structure, and I am ready to bet, with other as well.
As I said, it is also not limited to Property nodes. I have noticed that this happens if you drop a cluster constant that contains an enum (presumably because some of the enumerated strings are longer than others).
I could speculate why this is the case, but that is not my job.

Actually, this might not be true. I found a variant of this behavior. With "Place Structure with Auto Grow enabled" unchecked, here is what I observed while dropping a property node on my diagram:
Before:
After:
This is the expected behavior. The Property Node is partly hidden inside the Case Structure I dropped it in. Now that's not what I wanted to do. I wanted to drop it in in the innermost Case Structure:
The problem is that now this Structure has grown (as has the whole diagram) to leave space for the whole Property Node:
It is a subtle bug in the sense that I tried to reproduce it on a new VI with a series of nested Case Structures, but it did not result in this behavior.
Anybody caring to comment?

  • All objects property node and grouped objects

    Hi
    I am trying to position a the objects on my GUI in the centre of the screen using property nodes. However, I do not want to have to have a property node for every decoration, image and control. Is there a way that I can group all the objects and then use a property node to position them? I have tried using the all objects property node but none of the indexes seems to apply to my group of objects.
    Help please!
    Many thanks.
    John
    p.s. i have uploaded my test vi's. The chart, decoration and exit button have been grouped. use the control on check.vi to set the object to move. 
    Solved!

    Tab pages are a nice way to group GUI objects.
    Instead of using a decoration,
    use a tab control
    Remove all but the first tab
    Hide the tab
    Set the proprties of the tab control and the control on that page will move, hide, show along with the tab control.
    I hope that helps,

  • Is there a way to "mix" the nodes and leaves of the tree so if they are at the same level, they will display in a specified order.

    Is there a way to "mix" the nodes and leaves of the tree so that even if they are at the same level (1,2,3...), they will display in a specified order (via sort sequence, alphabetical, etc.).
    History:
    We are using the Tree UI element to display/manage a material bom interface. We seem to be running into an issue with displaying the nodes/leaves of the tree.. regardless of the order that the context is built (which is currently the order of the exploded BOM from from CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2), the bom is displayed with the nested boms at the top of each level and the single materials below them. For example. If  TK1 contains Material1, Material2, Material3, Kit1(containing component1, comp2, comp3), Material4, Kit2(containing comp4, comp5, comp6), and Material5 (in this order), the tree will display with the A level node as TK1, the next node as Kit1 (with its subleaves of comp1,comp2,comp3), Kit2(with subleaves of comp4,comp5,comp6), THEN Material1, material2, material3, material4, material5.  Our users are adamant about the items displaying in the correct order (which should be alphabetical based on the description for one report and by location for purposes of inventory for another). I've searched but not been able to locate a similar question. If I've missed it, please point me in the right direction. The users want the tree,  not a "tree" table.  This is our first attempt at the tree, so maybe we're missing something basic?
    TK1
    -Mat1
    -Mat2
    -Mat3
    -Kit1
    --Comp1
    --Comp2
    --Comp3
    -Mat4
    -Kit2
    --Comp4
    --comp5
    --comp6
    -Material5
    displays as
    TK1
    -Kit1
    --Comp1
    --Comp2
    --Comp3
    -Kit2
    --Comp4
    --Comp5
    --Comp6
    -Mat1
    -Mat2
    -Mat3
    -Mat4
    -Mat5

    co-workers said example picture is misleading.. we can make the order work if everything is a "folder" but not a mix of "folders" and "files" (if making a visual reference to the windows browser). i.e - a file is represented as an empty folder.
    TK1    
    . Mat1
    . Mat2
    . mat3
    > kit1   
    .. comp1
    .. comp2
    .. comp3
    . mat4
    > kit2
    .. comp4
    .. comp5
    .. comp6
    . mat5
    displays at
    TK1
    > kit1
    .. comp1
    .. comp2
    .. comp3
    > kit2
    .. comp4
    .. comp5
    .. comp6
    . mat1
    . mat2
    . mat3
    . mat4
    . mat5
    we can make it work if everything is a folder. This is our current workaround.
    TK1
    > mat1
    > mat2
    > mat3
    v kit1 (when expanded)
    .. comp1
    .. comp2
    .. comp3
    > mat4
    > kit2 (when not expanded)
    > mat5

  • Plugins; no script, scrapbook, informenter and other fail to start, on reboot they are there FF 17.01 on XP

    FF suddenly stopped showing many plugins. Notably, No Script, Informenter, scrapbook, no color and more. I have tried safe mode, no luck. The only thing seems to be a cold restart, then FF has some of my plugins active. BTW ALL of the non-responding plugins are shown in the extensions file and show active. But if I try to reinstall a missing plugin any plugins that were active on restart are gone. Have done AV scans, root kit scans. One other anomaly, the DNS process lost its mind and gave "object is moved to here" error. This is being sent from a W7 machine, NOT the failed one.

    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps in case your security software is interfering.
    Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that there isn't a hanging Firefox or plugin-container process left in the task manager.
    Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

    Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
    Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
    If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
    Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
    Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.

  • TreeItem - leaf property wrappers (and others) are private. Should be protected?

    I was creating a TreeItem subclass. Instead of overriding isLeaf and other methods, I simply wanted to use binding so that when the "value" changed, I could set the leaf property, or just bind to the leaf so that the value is updated when my domain object's value changes. However I noticed that both setLeaf and the leaf property wrapper are both private. This forces me to override isLeaf. All I wanted to do was setup some binding expressions or at least a change notifier when the value changes and set the leaf value according. The leaf property is a wrapper and the documentation suggests that a wrapper property was created to help support this scenario directly.  Since my isLeaf computation takes awhile, I have to setup several lines of code to cache the value whereas binding allows me to simplify my code and set it when the value changes, etc.
    Should these properties and the set* companion methods be protected instead to support subclassing using the new property system in javafx?
    Otherwise, there is no easy way to inform the UI that the "leaf" property has changed. Overriding isLeaf does not do that.

  • What settings need to be changed so logos (.png or .jpg) and other objects in the email (body_part_0.html or body_part_1.vcf) appear in the email in lieu of att

    We have several computers that receive email via Thunderbird. Two individuals received that exact same email. On one of the emails, the attachments are shown correctly (PDF file and a ZIP file). On the other computer, the attachments are also shown but any company logos (.png or .jpg) and other objects in the email (body_part_0.html or body_part_1.vcf) do not appear correctly in the body of the email but appear at the bottom of the email as attachments. I can send PDF files of these (2) different emails if it would be helpful.

    Matt: Thanks for the quick reply... both computers have the identical antivirus software package. I'm thinking that there has to be something in the configuration of Thunderbird that is slightly different that is giving the different results.

  • I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn't need it). I am totally happy with the

    I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
    I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
    I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
    After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
    “Welcome to Aperture 3.2
    Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
    Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
    Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
    Current Library Location:
    Jadzia (home)   -----Pictures------Aperture Library
                                                      QUIT             UPGRADE”
    I have heard horror stories  about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
    So here is my dilemma.  I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
    Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

    Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop.  Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
    You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file.  For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto. 
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • Hello apple guys, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac".  I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

    If you are referring to the fact that, in the App Store app, after you have installed or updated an App, that the Install button changes to now read "Open" then this does not mean that the App is Open and running. It means, rather, that, if you touch the button now marked "Open", the App will be started and "Open". It's just a quick way to get to the App you have just installed or updated.
