Desktop shortcut pointing to LLB no longer opens the top vi in LabVIEW 8.5

Up until LV version 8.5, creating a desktop shortcut to an LLB (using Explorer) for my users always opened the top vi which was set to run on opening.  Now the LLB manager opens and the user has double click the top vi in the list to get the same result.  What happened ?

There's two ways I found.
1.  Instead of making a shortcut to the LLB, make a shortcut to LabVIEW.  Right-clik on the shortcut and choose Properties.  In the Target Field, you should see the path to LabVIEW.  After that, enter "<Path to LLB>\<Top Level VI>.vi".  This will launch LabVIEW and tell it to open the VI inside the llb.  So, for example, a user here posted a library recently.  My shortcut Traget looks like "J:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5\LabVIEW.exe" "C:\NI pics\Keithley Data File\Keithley_DataFile.llb\Keithley_DataFile_migrated.vi"
2.  Take your top level VI out of the llb.  So you have My Application.vi and My Application.llb.  Then you just create a shortcut to the VI.

  • How to open the link in new firefox window for web desktop based application? Or how to open the mail/website/rss link in new firefox window

    I am using the firefox 3.6. My problem is that I am using the web desktop and few web desktop based application directly opens link. If I click on rss link than it opens in same window, so no longer access to web desktop. I want to open any kind of link in new window instead of same window. I have tired to change the value of browser.link.open_newwindow, browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction but doesn't work. Also gone through the https://developer.mozilla.org/en/window.open but not sure where to do this in web desktop based application or firefox where we connect the web desktop?
    Is there any way to open the link every time in new firefox window?

    Hi Joseph,
    the HTMLB link object misses the support for onClientClick through the tag lib, see hbj:link without onClientClick ? and OnClientClick Event for Link HTMLB Component for similiar problems and workarounds.
    With this workaround, you can call for example an AbstractPortalComponent, implement doOnNodeReady (with an empty doContent method) and return the PDF, settings the content type on the http before etc.
    Hope it helps

    I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

    Dear Dan,
    It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
    So what I did was tested and worked for years.
    You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
    Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader.

  • Hp color laserjet cm1312: can no longer open the cartridge drawer

    I'm happy with my cm1312nfi printer. I've been using it for years, typically 1000 sheets a year, and I was always pleased with it. Until last weekend. 
    After printing 240 pages full color (yup, once in a printer's life time), I can no longer open the cartridge drawer. For some reason is seems to be stuck. The machine still prints, but the toner cartridges need cleaning and maybe replacement. Also, during printing, some weird noise is made, if some plastic rotating part is blocked and slips from the axis. 
    I found the service manual on the Internet and looked for a clue. Alas. Then I started disassembling the printer, but that didn't help either. I really have to disassemble all sensitive parts of the laser printer, in order to get access to the cartridge drawer. That is a bit streched for me. I reassembled the printer again, and it is now in the same state as before, with the defect. Last thing I tried was to open the drawer in the middle of a print cycle. Everything is moving then, and maybe it would release the drawer. But unfortunately, this was also not the case. 
    Are there any other options beside retiring this machine?
    Thanks and regards, Paul

  • Double-click no longer opens the open dialog in CS5

    I am testing the trial of CS5 and I noticed that I can no longer double-click the photoshop desktop to pop open the open dialog.  Did they get rid of this?  I looked through the preferences and I didn't see any option to turn it on.

    Yes, I suppose that is it, it doesn't let you double-click nor drag on files to open them underneath the toolbar.  The new layout of Photoshop usually has the images that I am editing maximized and covering the photoshop desktop, so I have no way of just double-clicking or dragging files on, except I did find that you can drag the files onto a blank spot at the top of the tabs to open.  However, even if that is full it is hard to find a spot, I find myself just getting used to now opening files the Ctrl+O way.

  • Do files in Snow Leopard no longer open the application that made them?

    With every Mac OS I've used until now (nearly 20 years) clicking on a file icon would automatically open the file in the program with which it was created. But since I began using OS 10.6 this is no longer the case. Every time I open anything I have to manually choose what app will open it, which is tedious, especially if the drives have spun down. I can't figure out a remedy for this, if one exists.
    I've also noticed that file icons no longer reflect the program which which they were created--Illustrator, Acrobat, etc., as they always used to.
    Any ideas about this? Is it just the way OS 10.6 works? If not, what can I do to fix it?
    Message was edited by: SchenkerBob

    Snow Leopard no longer uses creator codes to determine which apps open files. Now, it uses file extensions. So, whatever's set to open a file with an unique extension will open them; e.g., .doc files might not use MS Word to open them all—it might revert to the Pages app. You can change them to use MS Word, by getting a CMD+I, setting it to open with MS Word, and clicking on Change All (ensure it honors your choice).

  • I can not open sites saved to my desktop directly into safari.  It only opens the topsites page.  Any solutions

    I cloned my old HD to an SSD and installed the hard drive.  It booted up slowly but then has been working fine although when I shut it down it continues to boot up slowly.  I have also been having issues with the top sites page in Safari.  It will only show the recent sites not the icons that it used to show from my favorites.  When I save a site to my desktop and then try to reopen from my desktop Safari goes to the top sites page.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Does anyone know how to fix these issues?  I have checked for updates but am currently using Yosemite 10.10.1.  Thanks for the help

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • After Effects only opens the top bar.

    Just recently I have started up after effects cs6, and the start-up and the new project will come up. But when i click, create new project, the top bar only comes up.(the bar that has the red x and the yellow - and the green +) I tried uninstallin it and re-installing it but it continues! Please Help! I am on a mac version 10.6.8
    You can only see the bar at the top

    I have seen this occasionally and the solution is to delete the preferences file and re-launch. This is easily done by holding down Alt/Option + Ctrl/Cmnd + shift and clicking the AE icon on your dock to open AE. That should fix your problem. If it does not, reboot the computer and try deleting the preferences again before you open AE...

  • My Mac Desktop 10.6.8 can no longer open PDF files. Can someone give me some ideas to try?

    I am having problems with my Preview app.  I can't open any PDF files in Safari or Firefox.

    Adobe Reader works well with Snow Leopard. What doesn't is its crappy internet plug-in. Quit all browsers, open /Lbrary/Internet Plug-ins, and remove these two:
    AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
    Relaunch your browsers and that should do the trick. For better viewing of PDFs in a browser, something I'm loath to do, install the Schubert plugin.

  • Desktop shortcuts to web pages don't have the correct icon, can this be corrected?

    I just upgraded from IE to Firefox and it's really working well. The only problem is all the shortcuts to websites on my desktop have the Firefox icon. They had their correct icons under IE how can I get the correct icons back? My computer is running Windows XP

    If you're using Internet Explorer as your default browser, you can create a shortcut via drag & drop and it will take on the web site's favicon if there is one. FireFox just gives it the default icon for the browser.
    It's certainly not a deal breaker (this is one of the VERY few things that's better on IE) but it would be helpful if FF's drag & drop shortcuts could also take on the site's favico automatically.
    This add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/9548 or cor-el's solution are ok for those whose shortcuts are more static in nature. However, I often drag a shortcut to the desktop for a site that I'll visit later on (because my bookmarks are a mess LOL), but will eventually delete the shortcut after visiting the site again, usually within several days. In my case, it's not worth the extra effort to manually save and assign the favicon for each shortcut, so it would be nice if this could happen automatically like it does with IE.
