File drag and drop with Labview 7 and Mac OS X Tiger?

Hi folks,
I've lost the ability to drag and drop files into front panel file path
controls, since I upgraded to a new OS X version. Specifically:
What used to work:
    - Labview 7.0
    - Mac OS X 10.3.x
    - drag file icon from desktop and drop onto file path control (file path control shows path to dropped file)
New action taken:
    - lost old Mac (Titanium) with OS X 10.3.x
    - bought new Mac (Aluminum) with OS X 10.4
    - installed OS X 10.4 "over" 10.3 disk (did not build from scratch)
What happens now (three days after birth of new system):
    - all my past Labview apps still seem to run
    - but, if I drag a file from the desktop and drop it onto the file path control I see:
          - file path control
"outlines" indicating that it understands the intended drag and drop
action
          - when the file is dropped the file path control does not report the new value
          - And the file path control still has it's old value
Anyone else seeing this? Am I missing something obvious (Labview or OS X preferences)?
Thanks in advance,
RMP

Hello,
I don't know how seriously Apple sees the problem, but it doesn't seem plausible that they would rev the OS on account of just this problem with LabVIEW, particularly since we worked around it for the latest version of LabVIEW.  I understand you are working with another engineer at NI via direct email regarding this issue, and that is going to be a better forum for discussing the possibility of obtaining the Apple bug report number.  In the event R&D is willing to reveal it, I presume they will be more comfortable doing so on a case by case basis, as opposed to posting it on the external discussion forum.
Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience you have encountered due to this issue.
Best Regards,

  • Drag and Drop with snap and response

    Ok, first of all I'm new to all of this as I'm just doing some parttime work.

  • WAD drag and drop with table and graphs

    Dear Experts
    I create a web template with chart and query.
    I have problem with drag and drop when I change the visualization of
    the template.
    If I create a template with graph open I can add free characteristics
    only if the graph is open. If I want close it, I can only change/substitute the
    free characteristics, but not add one.
    this behavior is opposite if I create the template with graph close: I
    can add free characteristic if the graph is closed, when I open it I
    can only change/substitute the characteristics.
    Is this the correct behavior
    Thank you and best regards
    Elena

    Merci beaucoup!!
    it is also posible in AWT ?

  • Where can I found hardware to get analog signal from VCR and work with labview and then sample this signal in very high frequency?

    I am trying to build a Digital Video Recorder using Labview. The problem is that I found that Labview sample the signal in the order of milisecond. I wanted it to be in the order of microseconds. Also I am looking for a cheap Hardware solution if it is possible

    Your question does not make a lot of sense to me, so I will just point out a few things.
    1. The PCI-1411 works well with VCR signals. It has a BNC connector as well as a S-Video connector. The price is under $1000, so it is fairly reasonable. The amount of time you save getting it to work with LabVIEW is worth any extra cost.
    2. The PCI-1411 is sampling three colors at 30 frames per second, with an image resolution of 640x480. This is the best resolution you are likely to get from a VCR signal. The sampling rate for each byte in the image is about 28 MB/sec. This is in the microsecond range that you are looking for, I think. If you are only interested in the raw signal instead of the image, you could look at the high speed digitizing boards NI sell
    s that acquire at higher rates.
    If this information isn't really what you were looking for, perhaps you could clarify your question.

  • [SOLVED] Thunar 1.6 doesn't drag-and-drop with the right mouse button

    Hallo all.
    It might be something I've done (though I did delete my ~/.config/Thunar directory before upgrading), but Thunar doesn't let me drag-and-drop with the right mouse button, thus stopping me from copying something instead of moving it, etc. Has anyone else had that too?

    Come on! Read what GordonGR wrote!
    Microsoft Windows, Nautilus, the Haiku Tracker, and probably many other file managers have a feature where, when you right-click or middle-click and drag an icon to a new location, a pop-up menu appears and asks what you'd like to do (Move, Copy, Link). I thought I used to use this feature in Thunar too but it seems to have stopped working in recent versions. Has anyone else had any experience with it?
    EDIT: Here's random blogger talking about the feature in an older version of Thunar: http://jeromeg.blog.free.fr/index.php?p … and-tricks So that's good, I wasn't just imagining the feature.

  • Can't Drag and Drop with a Double Tap using Single Finger in Lion?

    I installed the Mac OS X Lion two days. But I can't drag and drop with a Double tap using Single Finger, which I used to do in Snow Leopard.
    If I choose Three Finger Move, then Swap Between Pages goes back to "Scroll left or right with Two Fingers" that only works with Safari, but doesn't work with Chrome or Firefox.
    I tried literally every setting in Trackpad and also checked if there was a override settings and there is no overrride setting.
    Would be thankful, if you guys could suggest me what to do?
    ======================================
    My Machine Configuration:
    Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2010)
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
    4GB Ram
    Nvidia Geforce 320m
    Mac OS X Lion (Installe on a updated Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

    Hey Serge many thanks for telling me how to do. now its working like previously
    I just cheked the Dragging under Trackpad option and unchecked Three Finger Moves. now I can drag and drop with a double tap using single finger.
    Thank you guys. You are the best

  • Can't drag and drop nor copy  and past with iMac with OS 10.8.1.

    Can't drag and drop nor copy and past with iMac with OS 10.8.1.  Not with iTunes, MS Word, nor Pages.  No where.  Reboot or relogging in helps for about an hour.  Hard reset worked for a short time. Per Apple support, most likely will reinstall the operation system.  Just wondered if anybody else has run into this.  Did a disk scan, and that was fine.  And did rebooting, holding down CMD+OPT+R, and P..  Deleted all the start up programs.  Checked the internet, no solutions there.  So it all appears to be OS redo time. 

    Do you subscribe to MLB.tv, and if so, did you install the NextDef plug in? If so, read this…
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19185556#19185556
    I removed the NextDef plug in over 24 hours ago, restarted and haven't had a single issue with drag and drop or cut and paste since.

  • Error in drag and drop with a Tree component

    Hello, everybody.
    I'm doing a drag and drop with two trees.
    But, when I drag from a tree to another show this error:
    "oracle.job.RowNotFoundException:JBO25020: View line of oracle.jbo.Key[4.4] key not found in ViewTreeNodeRepository13_71."
    Besides that, in my property SelectionListerner, when I have this line: "#{bindings.TreeNodeRepository.treeModel.makeCurrent}" there is a warning that says: "Reference makeCurrent not found".
    Anyone can help me?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    +Besides that, in my property SelectionListerner, when I have this line: "#{bindings.TreeNodeRepository.treeModel.makeCurrent}" there is a warning that says: "Reference makeCurrent not found".+
    Don't worry, its a designtime warning because the EL cannot be resolved. MakeCurrent is a method on the FacesCtrl binding equivalent to ADF, which is applied at runtime and not available at design time
    +But, when I drag from a tree to another show this error: "oracle.job.RowNotFoundException:JBO25020: View line of oracle.jbo.Key[4.4] key not found in ViewTreeNodeRepository13_71."+
    In drag and drop, ADF Faces performs the drag. However, the rest of the drop handling is up to the developer. Without any more information of what yur drop handler is doing, this question cannot be answered

  • Can't Drag and Drop, or cut and paste

    Weirdest thing - all of a sudden I can't drag and drop, or cut and paste. I fixed permissions, deleted varied preference files and rebooted, reset the permissions on /tmp, etc. and still no go.
    Any suggested avenues to find what the possible problem is, and how to solve (short of reinstalling)?

    On the left side of the browser at the top of the iPhoto window you will see two symbols. The top one looks like a sheet of paper with the corner folded down, the bottom looks like multiple sheets/cards. If you click on the top symbol, you will view thumbnails of the pages in the book; the bottom gives you photos. At the bottom left of the window, there are two buttons above the word "view". Clicking on one button versus the other changes the window to view either one or two pages. This also affects whether or not the pages are locked together in the browser. When you are in page view, you can drag and drop pages in the browser to create the order you wish.
    I hope this helps.

  • Drag and Drop Apps to and from Dock, doesn't work for one account?

    Hi there,
    I have 2 accounts on my Macbook, one of them is my main account which is admin and nothing is wrong with it. The second account though is also admin but I cannot drag and drop applications to and from the dock. I can open the program, hold left click down till it pops up with options and in which you can untick Keep in Dock. Which would be fine but as soon as the computer restarts or I log out then in again, the application reappears. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
    Note that I have deleted both plist files from library/preferences and I have also enabled parental controls and ticked the allow users to modify the dock option. I also tried downloading Onyx and setting it up through there but it was a no go. Anyway, if anyone has any idea then that would be awesome.
    Cheers

    Ok, you can drag applications from your Applications and Utilities Folders to make a "alias" (aka shortcut) in the Dock, but if you drag the icon off and drop it, it "poof's" away as your deleting the alias. The program itself isn't in the Dock at all at any time.

    Right, when you run a program from where ever, it places a alias icon in the Dock, which you then right click and choose to keep the alias in the Dock which survives reboots and logouts/in as normal.
    If you right click and choose "open at log-in" the program will automatically run when you restart or log back into the account.

    I don't see any problem, other than your not knowing the icons in the Dock are aliases.
    You should set the same user controls and preferences on the second admin as the first and your problems should disappear.
    OnyX is a great program, I recommend it highly, but I don't see it fixing your problem in this case. Unless there is something your not being clear on.

    NTFS is your problem.
    iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.
    See this article

  • Upload text file to oracle table with checking and aggregation

    Hi Friends,
    I am new to ODI.  I have encountered a problem which is specific to ODI 11G (11.1.1.6.3) to upload text file to oracle table with checking and aggregation.  Would you please teach me how to implement the following requirement in ODI 11G?
    Input text file a:
    staffCode, staffCat, status, data
    input text file b:
    staffCodeStart, staffCodeEnd, staffCat
    temp output oracle table c:
    staffCat, data
    output oracle table d:
    staffCat, data
    order:
    a.staffCode, a.staffCat, a.status
    filter:
    a.status = ‘active’
    join:
    a left outerjoin b on a.staffCode between b.staffCodeStart and b.staffCodeEnd
    insert temp table c:
    c.staffCat = if b.staffCat is not null then b.staffCat else a.staffCat
    c.data = a.data
    insert table d:
    if c.staffCat between 99 and 1000 then d.staffCat = c.staffCat, d.data = sum(c.data)
    else d.staffCat = c.staffCat, d.data = LAST(c.data)
    Any help on fixing this is highly appreciated. Thanks!!
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Dear Santy,
    Many thanks for your prompt reply.  May I have more information about the LAST or SUM step?
    I was successful to create and run the following interfaces p and q
    1. Drag text file a to a newly created interface panel p
    2. Filter text file a : a.status = ‘active’
    3. Lookup text file a to text file b : a.staffCode between b.staffCodeStart and b.staffCodeEnd
    4. Drag oracle temp table c to interface panel p
    5. Set c.staffCat : CASE WHEN b.staffCat IS NULL THEN a.staffCat ELSE b.staffCat END
    6. Set c.data : a.data
    7. Drag oracle temp table c to a newly created interface panel q
    8. Drag oracle table d to interface panel q
    9. Set UK to d.staffCat
    10. Set Distinct Rows to table d
    11. Set d.staffCat = c.staffCat
    12. Set d.data = SUM(c.data)
    However, the interface q should be more than that:
    If c.staffCat is between 99 and 1000, then d.data = the last record c.data; else d.data = sum(c.data)
    Would you please teach me how to do the LAST or SUM steps?  Moreover, can interface p and interface q be combined to one interface and do not use the temp table c?  Millions thanks!

    Chris

  • Drag and Drop between JTree and Labels in 2 different panes

    Hi,
    I am using JDK 1.4.1 and am trying to implement Drag n Drop between a JTree and JLabels with ImageIcons, both on different panes.
    I got the DnD working fine on the tree. but i cant get to drag and drop the label from the other pane, on the Jtree as a node. I am getting confused with the DataFlavors, and also wonder if there is something else that i have to do for DnD between 2 panes. Can someone give me any leads on this, please? The Panes I am talking about are splitpanes.
    thanks,
    Sri.

    hey thanks Dennis!! I was hoping you would respond to my question, as I have seen a lot of your replies. yes, the example you gave would be helpful. but i am trying to implement this in 1.4.1, with the new drag and drop in swing. and i am getting confused wiht theh data flavors etc.
    my problem at hand is :
    I have a tree on the left pane. i can drag and drop the nodes on the tree itself. (i already did that...no problem). I have Jlabels with imageicons (actually wrapper classes with labels and imageicons) on the right pane. i have to be able to drag these labels to the tree such that they form a node.
    I have one class the NodeSelection class which extends TransferHandler and implements Transferable. i was able to do DnD for the tree using this. I customized the importData method in this.I thought that i can just use the same class to create the transferhandler and transferable, and just use a different implementation for the importData method if the data being dragged is from the label.
    well, my thoughts and ideas were ok...but i can implement it...so they must be wrong ;-)
    Can u please suggest another way to do this. I have a deadline to meet and am stuck here :-( any suggestions or tips or hints would be very helpful and appreciated!!
    Thanks,
    Sri.

    As  to iPhoto
    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
    For iMovie support please post in the iMovie forum
