"File Dialog" Express VI returns the wrong path when the user selects the desktop

In labview 8.0.1 with Windows
XP, the File Dialog Express VI seems to return something other than the path
selected by the user when configured to browse for folders (or files and
folders) and the user selects the desktop.
I can't determine exactly when it works and when it fails, but it always seems
to fail if the user selects the desktop from the places bar (the shortcuts on
the left side of the dialog) or from the drop-down menu at the top of the
dialog and then clicks the "Current Folder" button to dismiss the
dialog.  In this case it always returns whatever path is wired to the
"Start Path" terminal.
If the user navigates to the desktop with the "Up One Level" button
or by selecting the actual desktop directory under Documents and Settings, the
correct path is returned.
If the user selects a file before clicking the desktop icon, then clicks
"Current Folder" the correct path is returned.
If the user clicks the desktop icon, clicks open, then clicks "Current
Folder" the correct path is returned.
It's possible to work around this bug in most cases by setting the start path
to the desktop.
Has anyone seen this behavior before?
Can anybody verify this behavior by running the attached VI?
In the past, when I've reported issues like this I've received responses from
NI engineers that basically said "Thanks, but we already knew
that".  Is there anywhere that users can search the list of known
bugs and avoid wasting time tracking down issues that are already understood by
NI?
Thanks,
Adam Brewster

I'm on 8.2 and I can't get it to fail no matter how I select the desktop. I haven't tried it in 8.0, but I imagine that if this really is a bug, they did know about it and fixed it with 8.2. If this causes a real problem for you, I would suggest upgrading if you can.

    Several of our iPhone users in the UK reported the problem this morning, and as the Apple fan in the office I've got the job of resolving the issue
    The original Excel was an old .xls file, but I have saved it as a .xlsx and the problem still appears
    I haven't spoken with our developer yet, but I assume he has created the Excel file using some programming tools rather that directly using Excel
    In the meantime I have created a simply spreadsheet with 8 cells contain values
    In the first 4 cells, I have formatted them using Currency, and have used the currencies USD, DEM, GBP and CHF
    In the remaining cells I have formatted them using the Accounting option, using the same currencies
    When I review the spreadsheet on the iPhone (or iPad), the first 4 remain the same yet the last four all show the £ symbol
    I have now changed the Region Format of the iPhone to United States, and when viewing on the iPhone the bottom 4 values are now all showing the $ sign!
    If I had created the spreadsheet I would have put the Currency code in a seperate cell and purely used a numeric format for the number, and there would be no issue.  That might be the only solution
    Yes, the Director has the full MS Excel app on his Windows 8 device, but I can't expect all of our clients to go and do the same, in business many of them will have the iPhone
    We may have to change the way we produce the report because of Apple's failings here, and it's not the first time that we have had to change something because Apple devices can't display them properly
    In business, submitting a potential job contract only for the recipient to get the wrong idea of the costs is a major concern

  • HT1923 When I try to uninstall iTunes I get a message saying iTunes 64 msi can not be located and I should enter an alternate path. How would I know where it it is? I get the same message when trying to install the update to iTunes 10.6.1.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • How to Customize the Error Message when a user enters a wrong password

    Hi Gurus
    Pls Help out me that
    How to Customize the Error Message when a user enters a  wrong password ?
    I need the Help to Customize the messege ?
    How  we can do
    Pls Tell me indetail

    Firstly many appologies I have given you slightly duff information here, I had been editing the file above for email notification texts not logon / password texts.
    The file you need is actually a portal .par file and can be found in the deployment/pcd directory.  The file you need is called com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par (with a .bak extension at this time). 
    You need to copy this file to a local machine and unzip the contents.  The files you need to edit are contained in a further jar file which can be found in the \PORTAL-INF\lib directory - it is called umelogonbase.jar.  It too needs to be extracted and the file you need to edit is logonMessages_xx.properties (where the xx is the language code you are using).
    In this file you will find lines like:
    NUMERIC_REQUIRED=Invalid new password (must contain digits)
    You need to identify which texts you wish to modify and edit the text to the right of the equals sign.  Once complete rezip the umelogonbase.jar file and then the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par (this time name it without the .bak extension.  Then logon to the portal and upload the new par and you should see your new logon messages.

  • Apple Bluetooth keyboard shows the wrong letters when pressed

    Hi,
    My apple bluetooth keyboard shows the wrong letters when I write on it. If I press "c", the letter "d" shows on the screen instead. The bottom row of letters mimicks the row just above. I've tried unpairing and paring the keyboard again with my computer and my ipad. Same error. Tried resetting the pram and the smc and it still doesn't work. Changed the batteries in the keyboard and no change. I've removed some plist file (com.apple.BezelService) and its lock file like someone recommended in a youtube video. I've also checked the keyboard settings and can't find anything that seems weird.
    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix it or do I have to buy a new keyboard?
    /Andreas

    Before you buy a new one, take it to an Apple store (if one is near you) and have them look at it.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional that I want to migrate to my newer laptop running Windows 7. I downloaded the file 22020134.exe to reinstall it on my new computer and I go through the hops and when I put in the Serial Number it tells me its invalid.

    22020134.exe is the file Adobe say you must download and run to instal Acrobat 7.0 Pro. I went through the  process, the one described in your link, I downloaded the file, ran it, it runs well, except it tells me my serial number is invalid. Now what? Does this mean I now have to discard my Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional and start again with a $500 purchase? All I want to do is transfer what I have to another computer.

  • I put in the wrong birthdate when registering my daughter's new iPod touch. When I went to correct it, it looked me out

    I put the wrong birthdate when registering my daughters new iPod Touch. It didn't let me establish a new account because the birthdate was too young. When I went to correct it, it continued the lock her new registration out. Now I can't successfully register her on iTunes with her correct birth year.

    i just opened my ipad, started my apple account/I.D. and realized I put the wrong e mail. I was having trouble correcting my I.D on the Ipad so I went to my laptop and make the proper changes/slash e mail address I wanted for my apple ID. I got back to my ipad and try to download an app I can't because I have to sign in my apple account and I can't because it still has the irrelivant I.D/email address..
    So, i did what you said.. went to setting>app store> tapped on my e mail.. it asked me to sign in (with my invalid emails address showing). I signed in with the password I had created. It said "incorrect".. I went to reset password. I reset password, tried to sign in and it says again "unvalid password".. this is getting irritating.  I have been asking and no one knows what to do.

    If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
    Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account.

    Afraid Compressor won't work with MKV. If you have access to a system running an earlier version than Mavericks, and with Perian installed you can use MPEG Streamclip or Quick Time Pro to convert to a mov.

  • I replaced the original hdd in my early 2008 iMac.  I can't move my files that were backed up with Time Machine to my new hdd using Migration Assistant.  When prompted to select the "from drive", the ext. hhd does not appears as a selection. Please help!!

    I'd recommend staring over, Pondini has created an excellent guide on how to use Setup Assistant. I'd recommend begin reading Pondini Setup Assistant tips where he talks about "Second Chance." Assuming your Time Machine backup is sound the restore  should be very smooth.
