Extremely annoying LabVIEW IDE behaviour

I have been experiencing extremely annoying behaviour from the LV IDE for a few weeks/months now.
When loading a project or a file from a peoject it happens quite often that the search window for sub-VIs is visible and then a "resolve conflicts" window pops up. Oddly enough I cannot use either window as they seem to have a love/hate relationship going, blocking each other while they're both vying for my attention. This locks up the entire IDE UI and I can only rescue my working day by utilising the all-powerful "Ctrl-Alt-Delete" to end the LabVIEW process. Needless to say this can be rather annoying when I'm actually performing measurements int he background (which keep running since it's only the inputs which are blocked. This kind of thing with dialogs popping up at weird times seems to becoming rather frequent.
Only the last week I have been unendlessly frustrated by a window popping up while I am trying to perform a "Save As" function from an existing class member VI. The pop-up causes the entire filename I am currently typing in to be selected. My next keypress then replaces the entire filename resulting in the file being saved under a very weird and unintuitive name if I don't realise this in time. Funnily enough I have found out that a quick Crtl-Z will actually undo the change.....
All in all I just feel like ranting to prevent me from raging. These things are really bogging down my day-to-day progress. It's freaking me out.

It frustrated me so much that I ended up contacting NI Support as I assumed it was a LabVIEW bug. For me, the solution was to install a newer version of the TSVN toolkit and I now use it without any problems.
This was the response from NI:
I've done some initial resource and found some relevant resources of this issue happening to others, one main instance on our public forums.
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/LV2013-hangs-on-Resolve-Load-Conflict-Dialog/td-p/2657675
Another discussed internally, however both reaching the same conclusion.
It seems that customers using TSVN as their source code control are often running into this issue, are you running TSVN within your company?
It is suggested that an upgrade to TSVN 1.8 resolves the issue. Specifically the beta, 1.8.1.7
http://www.viewpointusa.com/product/ni-labview-toolkits/tsvn-toolkit/
If the above is applicable, this may resolve the issue, however I have not replicated or tested this issue myself so I can't speak from experience here.
Anyway, this fixed it for me so check which version you had and see if a newer version helps - their website now lists Version 1.8.2.22 so that probably includes the fix as well.

LabVIEW IDE crashing!

Hi there,
I have just run into some very strange behaviour in LabVIEW (7.0 on Win2k with service pack 2).
I have an event structure with several user events (about 12) listed in it. Everything was working fine yesterday. Today I tried to add another user event to the structure and LabVIEW crashed (giving usual cryptic error message saying referenced memory could not be read).
Now, I have experimented quite a bit, and have the following observations to give:
LabVIEW is happy adding more events until I try and add an event if the currently selected event is a Filter event (i.e Mouse Down?).
I have a certain Mouse Down? filter event, and if I change this to a non-filtered Mouse Down event then LabVIEW lets me add more event cases as normal. However, I need this to be a filtered event (i.e with the "?"), and in this case, the next I try and add results in the LabVIEW IDE crashing. I can add more events as long as I dont have a filtered event case currently selected, so I suppose this is a work-around.
To clarify, this occurs when I am trying to add events at design time, not at run time.
I tried to replicate this in a new VI, and everything works fine as expected :-(
I can't really attach the VI.
Has anybody else noticed behaviour like this???

hi there
thanks for your suggestions
>> A couple of suggestions:
>>1. Try opening the VI on a different computer\LV version.
>>2. Try copying all the code in the VI into another VI and see if this still happens.
>>3. Start deleting pieces of the VI until it stops (or there is nothing left).
I tried options 2 (same crash) and option 3 (crash stops when I delete the Filter events) before I posted the question.
I have tried opening the VI on another PC (also Win2k) with the same version of LabVIEW and it also crashes.
sigh...
I suppose I am just going to have to work around it for now... strange bug...

Submit the comment without picture, the edit it.
Once you edit the comment, you have the full editor, including the "attach" button.
Now attach the image and submit the edited comment.
Now edit it again and embed the attachment (you only see it whe editing).
Do all this quickly so you don't run out of time.
Laura,
Since the last forum update, we can no longer attach anything when editing an idea so these instructions are no longer valid. Can we have the old functionality back? Please?
Thanks!

No warranty left -_-

I've checked with Apple. They only give 28Days warranty now :'(
Whoever told you that is wrong. The warranty on a repair or replacement iPhone is still 90 days minimum. Quoting from their Service FAQ:
If defects arise as a result of service, Apple will cover the repair for the remaining term of the iPhone's warranty or 90 days after iPhone service, whichever provides longer coverage for you.
Call Apple Support and discuss your problem with them. If they agree that it's a hardware problem, they can arrange for mail-in service.
Regards.

Please Help! Extremely annoying!

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this extremely annoying problem?
In facebook chat the scroll bar of Safari covers up what you are writing!
Thanks!

As I posted... you'll get the same result by stretching the browser window horizontally until the scrollbar disappears (roll the cursor over the left or right edge of the window until it changes to an arrow pointing left and right). That way you can still have the space above/below your browser window for other things.

Everytime I send an email in Outlook 2010, I get a message asking if I want to open Firefox Document E9B557DD-DAE3-4088-988A-9123DAC2AAC7.html. There are brackets around the number. It's extremely annoying.

It's extremely annoying. I had an issue with the latest version of WinZip, which I mistakenly downloaded and installed--it automatically zipped my files, which is not what I want it to do. I removed WinZip and reinstalled the older version, and then I started getting these messages. It also seems to be interfering with Outlook 2010 help--I get another message about downloading a Firefox document and it won't load.

Expose: The extremely annoying app that can't turn off.

How do you turn off Expose? Lately I wanted to see what my MacBook Pro was able to do. I came across something called Expose. I clicked it several times but I was not able to understand what it did. It just went black around the sides. 2 days later I found out.It was an extremely annoying app that that centred all your apps now I can't turn it off. Is anyone able to help me?

expose is a system feature and has never been able to be "turned off".
My solution, is don't use exposé.

Help! Graphics glitch! EXTREMELY annoying.

Hi, so recently I have been getting this really annoying graphics glitch when I open up a game. When I close the game, the glitch stays until i shut down my computer! Here is a picture.
Notice the black squares. It's extremely annoying and out of control when the game is on!

Might pay to tell people which Graphics Card your computer has got and what amount of RAM the MacBook has.
You have also posted in Leopard (10.5.x) whilst listing you are using Snow Leopard (10.6.x)

Extremely annoying problem with user folder name in windows 8.1

Here is the thing:
Friend of mine bought the laptop (very strong and expensive asus - republic of gamers) with installed windows 8.1 on it, but after a few days only I bought that computer from him because he didn't need it and he didn't use it at all!
But, his name stayed in the windows. I changed all user accounts names and everything which was possible to be changed, but when i go to C/users his name is still there on folder!
I can say it is very annoying because that laptop cost almost 3.000 USD and I still need to look at someone else's name in my user folder!
I tried to change "ProfileImagePath" in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ .... but after that windows logged in as a temporary profile and I spend another hour to figure out
how to reverse the thing!
How is possible that some so basic and simple things can't be changed at all in newest windows??? Only because some name was entered first it's not possible to be changed ever again???? Seriously?
Not only this problem, there is too many problems with this windows 8.1! Too many! You definitely made the worst thing ever!
I am extremely unhappy and upset with this operative system! I,m cursing the day when i gave so much money for computer with crap called windows 8.1!!!!
Very very angry!!!
(P.S English is not my native language)

Hi,
According to your description, it seems that you have resolve that issue.
Not only this problem, there is too many problems with this windows 8.1! Too many! You definitely made the worst thing ever!
Please let us know what problem did you encounter? Please give us more detailed information in order to provide the further help.
Here is a overall guide for you to know well the Windows 8.1
Windows 8.1: frequently asked questions
No Karen, I didn't resolve the issue.
I asked very simple question how to change something so basic like user folder name in Windows 8.1
You know: "C:/Users/"user name"
All the links you are giving to me doesn't provide any concrete answer to this question. I spent hours and hours googling and researching about this question and only solution which i found is that i need to create completely new user account and delete completely
the old one, just to be able to remove an old name of user folder! Are you kidding me?
How is possible that such a basic thing is so complicated?
Is there any way to change folder user name in any other way because i don't want to create a new user account!
Simple question, but, like always, no any concrete answers - just some empty talks, and totally useless links and SPINNING IN THE CIRCLE all the time without the CONCRETE solution.
As for part of my post which you quoted, and your request for more informations in order to provide me further help, i just gave it to you again. I want to change user folder name. What you don't understand in that question?
UPDATE:
Ok, i came back to edit this post because i have a feeling that maybe you don't understand the question and giving me this link because maybe you simply don't know that when you go to:
Control panel/user accounts/change your account name... and change the name, and after that, when you go to C:/users, the folder with the user name still have an old user name. Which means that any changes in control panel or anywhere else doesn't make any
changes on C:/users/ folder itself!!!!!
In previous windows versions was possible to change it by editing "ProfileImagePath" in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ ....
But when I try to do that in Windows 8.1, when I reboot computer it logs in with some temporary account, so i need to reverse everything to be able to use computer with the real account!
So basically it seems that is absolutely impossible to change user folder name in Windows 8.1, which is simply unbelievable!
I really think i explained very good now.

Font Size Difference between Exe and Labview IDE

I'm stumped on the following issue and surprizinglycan't find any references that are similar on this forum.
I've developed an application which, when built to an Exe, has different font sizes than when executed on the same computer in the Labview Integrated Development Environment. In each instance the screen resolution is the same. I've used the "Application Font". I'm having trouble figuring why the font would render differently in each case. Of possible signifigance is that I'm running the Exe by simply browsing to the folder where the build procedure drops it instead of building an installation.
I've attached one of the most glaring examples that shows the rendering in each case.
I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction to resolve this issue.

Hi Doctor,
two notes:
for the font size differences: I would try to change the font settings
to a more 'specific' font like Arial 14pt. The application font is set
somewhere in an ini-file and the setting may change with the
environment (IDE vs. exe-rt).
for your attachment: please convert pictures to jpg or png. This will
reduce size by orders of magnitude :-) And please crop them, unless you
have a very (VERY) beautiful desktop background picture!
Best regards,

Annoying Finder window behaviour

I find the behaviour of the new Finder windows when in cover flow a bit annoying. When I resize the window to see a longer list of the files the cover flow part of the window is resized rather than the list. This is despite the fact that I can increase the size of the cover flow area using it's resize handle. Instead I have to resize the window to make it larger and then resize the cover flow area to make it smaller again so that I can see a longer list.

Well it doesn't hurt to call Apple to see if they can figure it out. If you bought AppleCare or have had it for 3 months or less you can call, the number is: 800-275-2273. You get 3 months of free phone support under the standard warranty, the machine is covered for 1 year. If you have AppleCare you have 2 additional years of warranty including telephone support for the full length of the warranty.
Let us know what happens.

Annoying Safari clipboard behaviour

Hi guys,
I'm working a lot between FTP, HTTP & SSH which means that I am copying and pasting domains & parts of URLs in and out of safari very frequently. There is a very annoying situation arising when I select xxx.com in the safari address bar and it nearly always prepends http://. Anybody doing similar stuff can probably appreciate how annoying it is to paste a long domain into the terminal only to have to hit the left-arrow back 20 characters to delete the http:// part
Any suggestions?

So I called AppleCare today and apparently this is (*sigh*) 'expected behaviour' so they didn't help any further. It sounded like a call was made to their T2 as I was on hold a good while.
This must surely be a prefence somewhere and not hard-coded into safari. I can't be the only person who expects what you highlight to be what is copied.

How do I stop this extremely annoying noise?

Whenever I record a movie in imovie with my built-in isight camera and built-in microphone, there is this incredibly annoying background noise - a fast beeping that almost seems to represent the cadence of the frame rate. I thought it was some kind of tool but when I save the event and play it in quicktime on its own, the beeping remains!!! Its killing me. Please help me make it stop.
I apologize if this is a topic that has already been covered, I'm not sure how to find out if it has.

Mate, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY doubt that the hum of my computer is the cause of this noise. The volume of the noise is significant enough to be a major issue. It is not a light static or low-level humming. It is fast beep, going off at a rate of about 25 per second. If it were part of an ichat or phone call the average person would not tolerate the sound and think there is an error. Plus, the noise is sharp, clear, rhythmic, and unheard in any other situation but this use of imovie.
Thanks for the input, mate, but the likelihood this explanation is correct is extremely low. Anybody else with an explanation/solution that doesn't involve buying a replacement microphone?
