Adusting Bridge Window Panel size/positions

How do I adjust the window panels in Bridge horizontally? It is easy to adjust the width of them vertically, but I cannot recall how to adjust them horizontally. I had to Reset Preferences and cannot seem to figure out how to "stack" the window panels. In other words, I might like to have two window panels, tabbed, in the upper left corner, and two more window panels, tabbed, in the lower left corner (underneath the others). If this is not clear I could send an email with a screen capture of my original layout before I had to Reset Preferences. Thanks!

I just had the idea of switching the gpu (System Prefs - Energy Saver - Better Battery life or Better Performance). Changing from one to the other will force you to log out and back in. Now Bridge is working. I switched back and it's still working so maybe you just need to log out or restart.
No solution, but I'm having the same problem. Just updated to 4.0.4.1. I'm guessing there because I didn't check the number, but I ran the update a couple days ago and went to use Bridge today... I repaired permissions, installed another update today (4.0.4.2) and tried resetting Bridge (option key at start) and nothing has fixed it.

VI Analyzer Front Panel Size and Postion Test fails

Hi
We make a lot of use of the VI Analyser and I have been playing with the configuration settings to try and make it only fail the tests that matter to us and I have one test I do not understand correctly.
From the LabVIEW help
Panel Size and Position—Checks that a front panel
completely resides within the bounds of the screen. The test also checks whether
the front panel is larger than the maximum specified width and height. If you
are using a multi-monitor system, the test fails if the panel does not reside
entirely within the bounds of the primary monitor. This test works only on
standard, control, and global VIs.
I would like to apply this test, a simple check developers are not creating huge VI, it sounds simple enough, but I cannot seem to get this test to pass.
I am working with two monitors and this test fails when my VI is on either monitor with the message "This VI's front panel does not reside entirely within the specified bounds (1280 x 1024)" my current screen resolutionis 1280 x 1024, so I assume as long as my VI front panel fits within one screen it should be a pass.
I can clearly see my that VI front panel (and block diagram for that matter) fits within the screen of either monitor. If I look at the VI properties of my VI the Window Size is 474 x 513, could anybody please suggest when why this might be failing.
cheers

Hi Norbert,
Thanks for the prompt reply, my asking the question and your reply has made me play with this a little deeper and I have managed to solve my problem.
In case anyone else has a similar problem here are the details.
When you have two monitors and look at the Windows properites you see one monitor is identified as 1 and the other as 2, thses identities are based on the graphics card and the which monitor is plugged into which ouptput connector. You can then chose which monitor you wish to act as your primary monitor. You would suspect it would not matter once you have selected your primary monitor BUT IT DOES.
My inital set-up
Left Hand Monitor    - idenity 2 selected to be primary monitor
Right Hand Monitor - identiy 1
With this set-up everything looks and acts as I expect it to task bar, icons etc on my primarry monitor. However if you run the VI Analyser it will fail Panel Size and Position on BOTH the left and right hand monitors.
I crawlled under my desk and swapped the monitors cables round so now the set-up is
Left Hand Monitor    - idenity 1 selected to be primary monitor
Right Hand Monitor - identiy 2
Now the VI Analysers Panel Size & Position Tests will pass on the left hand monitor but fail on the right hand monitor, just as would expect.
It appears that LabVIEW is looking not only at the windows "Primary Monitor" setting but also the identies, this does not seem the behaviour I would expect nor the correct behaviour.

LabVIEW 2010 Window Size/Panel Size Run-Time VI properties - unexpected behavior

I have used the VI Properties Windows Run-Time Position - Panel Size and VI Properties - Window Size to set the desired display size for use on the application PC.
A strange thing happens, when I first open the application window, it is smaller than the specified Window Size and Panel Size (both set to 1064 x 728). However, if I click on a horizontal border the window's vertical size snaps instantly to the 728 pixel value and the horizontal size in unchanged, still smaller than the 1064 value specified. When I click on a vertical border, the horizontal size changes to the specified value.
I don't believe this is how these properties were intended to work. They should open the application in a window sized as specified.
Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround.

I regret that I cannot post my employers' proprietary code. I have tried to duplicate the problem with a publicly distributed VI and been unable to do so.
I believe now that it is possible my VI was "straddling" two monitors when I made the initial changes.
Later compilations were made using different VI properties and do not show this problem.
I have attached a file showing the relevant VI property settings used in the aberrant VI compilation.

Bridge window/meta data text size

Is there a way to increase the text size in the Bridge window and panels? I especially want to increase the size of the metadata text. Thanks.

Not in CS4, which is the last version I decided to buy. That bug must, therefore, have been introduced in CS5.

Just about every single time I drop by this forum and/or the Photoshop Macintosh forum, I read something that reassures me as to my decision to stop buying Adobe products.
Of course, I'll keep on using the ones for which I already own a license. But Adobe is far, far from being the corporation it was when I became a customer, right when Adobe started, over a quarter of a century ago.
As I typed many, many moons ago (August, 2009):
Adobe is now a decaying, elephantine, unresponsive, gargantuan and disorganized bureaucracy that is slowly but inexorably crumbling. That decay affects software development as well, not just customer service.
It's not just the forums going to pot, it's the entire gamut of customer service, tech support and it's reflecting in the applications too.
That decay began becoming painfully obvious during the Bruce Chizen era shortly after the Macromedia merger… …which probably coincided with the idiotic concept of the "Creative Suites" that forces the premature release of applications.

Remembering Window Sizes/Positions in Windows 7

Hi
I've read this thread regarding windows folder position/size (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproui/thread/5b524d53-df97-405d-835f-f081d106a19b)
however it doesn't address my issue.
For me, anytime I open a software, position it, play around in it and then close it, and reopen it again, it never goes back to the size/position I set it to. Same with Outlook. When I open a new email window, set its size and position, the next new email
window is never where it needs to be.
Is there a way for windows/outlook to remember where my software windows should be based on a position/size I give it?

Hi,
I would like to share the following link with you.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/235994
You can know that how windows remembers the Window size.
Regarding your outlook issue, you may close outlook then delete the frame key from HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Message\ and restart outlook. This will reset the window to the default size.

Bridge CS5 doesn't remember panel size

Hello. After I restart win7 the panel sizes (I mean the two side panels) are not what I'd set them to be before restart. In my case, they are always narrower. The issue is only apparent after system restart, not after exiting and reopening Br.
Any suggestions?

You could look at it another way. Make your settings and folder selection then use file/exit.
Then no matter how you close it in future, or where you are at, it will open at your default setting.
Be aware however that it is always running in the background and must be closed to install updates.

Set maximum panel size

Hi,
I would like to know how can I set the maximum panel size, in order
that when I maximize it with a state property node set to 5 (maximized)
when I open it, it don't pass the size I want for that panel.
How Can I do It? I can set the minimum panel size, in File->Vi
properties->Window size but I can't set the maximum panel size?
Thanks,
ToNi.

Hi,
From my vi, before I call another vi from it, I have a FP Open and FP.
State property set to True and 4 (Minimized) respectively and then I
use a Run Vi invoke node and finally, after it, I have another FP.
State property set to 1 (Standard). My front panel when opens has
the same size as I saved it but LV not redraws it well. How Can I do to
solve this kind of problem? I have this problem since a lot of time ago.
ToNi.

Window changes size after running - Bug?

I have been having an issue (a mildly infuriating one) where my window size changes after running. See images
The window expands by the size of the scroll bars in the x and y axis. It only happens sporadically - I can't figure out a way to predict when it will happen or not. I'll just be running/stopping the program and then bam! different front panel size. I've also had it happen on multiple different machines with multiple different programs. There was no code in any of the programs that resized the FP window. I know I can force the runtime size with VI properties, but...

I gutted the linked vi (with notes on what was changed) and attached it if you want to try and reproduce it. After some more playing around with it, I realized it is any time I first open the VI and run it. It seemed random because the VI was part of a project and I was frequenly opening / closing / running etc.

Panel size problem

I tried to set the panel size on my fram but every single time i run the application (I have 4 panels on my frame 1 on top 3 on the buttom) the panels are sceezed no space beetween them. Do you have any idea how to get space beetween them. I use the setSize method but it looks like it doesn't work, i work for my classmate but not for me. (I have class panel with around 4 objects ex.txtbutton, txtbox, etc) if it help you .
Thanks for help

If you are using a GridLayout() to position your panels, you could try
this.setLayout(new GridLayout(x,y,5,5);
the last two parameters specify the gap between the panels. x any y are obviously just your layout values.
Hope this helps

How to set front panel size to be same as one led?

Hello All,
LV2010
In documentation reads that minimum front panel size is one pixel. I need to create front panel which have same size as one led (see attachment). I'm not able to make front enough small just by dragging window borders. I also tried to change front panel size from File->Vi properties ->Window size but that didn't helped. How I can set front panel to smaller size?

I think I got it
In the window apperance option I removed everything except "Allow user to resize window" And the Run options. Then I ran the VI (continuosly since there is no loop) and resized it. After I stopped it, I then removed "Allow user to resize window" from the window apperance options.
P.S! If you try to resize my Vi now, it will pop back out for some reason.

Set front panel size to fit different monitor ( 2 monitors-pattern to 1 monitor-pattern)

Hello, Everybody,
I have here some questions about front panel size.
At first I have create my LabVIEW programs with 2 monitors and run them with 2 monitors, because of this reason I have created a huge front panel with many objects.
But sometimes I will run the program only with 1 monitor, the problem is, the front panel is too big, I can not see the front panel with all objects completely on one monitor! I know, I can scroll aroud it, but I don´t like this way. I would like to set the front panel size automatically to fit the window ( to differenz window sizes or resolutions), how can I do that?
I have tried with "Maintain proportions of window for different monitor resolutions" and "Scale all objects on front panel as the window sizes" to finish that, but they did`t work, I can not see the front panel at once on one monitor;-(
Can you help me?
regards,
Johnny

As noted in the KB article What Is the Difference Between the Options
"Scale All Objects on Panel" and "Maintain Window Proport..., the "Scale All Objects on Panel causes all the objects inside the panel to scale when the panel itself is resized". If the panel isn't resized, the objects arent's scaled. You may also want to read the KB article How Do I Scale All of the Objects of My Front Panel with the Window Size?.

How to know the "minimum panel size" property

I want to know the "Minimum Panel Size" specified in the "VI properties" by programming. It's very important to get this information, because my panel size changes over the execution and I need the minimum panel size available. I can’t use the panel bound property because it return me the actual size of the panel.
Any idea?
Thanks for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is no property to directly return the minimum panel size that you set.
You can however trick it into giving it to you. Since you can't use the "Panel Bounds" property to make a window smaller than it's set minimum, You can try to set it to 0,0 size, then read the size and subtract the left from right and top from bottom to get the size. The panel will actually resize to the minimum, but will return an error if you try to go below that.
The attached VI shows this working. I only tried this 7.1, so if you have an earlier version, let me know and I'll save it back.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

Rolling window moves when browser window changes size??

I have added a rolling window into my page and it is in the
correct position when I click to preview, but when the browser
window moves (when I click on my Favourites window panel for
example) the rolling window moves along and out of its position.
Is there anyway to stop this?
Cheers,
Zoe

Bridge window placement?

Is there any way you can reassign the placement of the Bridge window? It's always on top of everything else, which would be fine if it would just stay in a corner where I put it. But nooooo. It always has to go back to the same place. I've looked in preferences but didn't see anything. What am I missing?
thanks!

You have probably switched to compact mode and for that staying on top of
other applications is as per design (I admit, not a very good design...).
You should go out of compact mode using the icon top right in the Bridge
window or the menu view.
If you do have the need for such an option you should seriously look at Mini
Bridge in CS5. Just do a search for Mini Bridge panel in google and find
out for your self.
Here is one from You Tube

Panel size won't "stick" when restarting LR.

I want the left hand panel to be MUCH bigger so I can see more of my folder names. I can re-size it, but when I close and re-open LR, it returns the panel size to the original default size. Is there a way to get the re-sized panel to stay that way across LR re-starts?
On a related topic, at the moment, even with the left panel at the largest size I can make it, my folder/sub-folder structure results in part of the folder names being cut off. Is there any way to deal with this? Is there perhaps a way to get the font to be a bit smaller so that I can use longer folder names without having them cut off?
Thanks,
Larry

>In the preferences>interface>panel font size, make sure you have it >set on the smaller option
I'm referring to the panel size, not the font size (although I would also like to be able to make the font size smaller than the "small" setting.)
Zal posted about the problem I'm seeing, which appears to be a bug.
Thanks,
Larry
