FTP Upload - Replace File Dialog Box

Hi,
Am running LR3 on Vista 64, and using FTP export via the FTP Publisher plugin now available.
In principle everything is working fine, but if I am updating existing files, then for each and every file a LR dialog box pops up asking if I want to replace the file on the server.
There is no option for 'Replace all' so it becomes a rather tedious task of sitting in front of the PC whilst the upload takes place and accepting each file - not much fun with around 400 files.
Does anyone know if there is a way to supress this dialog box? Have tried using Passive, Enhanced Passive and Not Passive n the FTP settings, but makes no difference.
Thanks for any help,
Andy.

If using the LR FTP to overwrite an existing gallery the usual behaviour should be for LR to ask once if you intend to overwrite the whole gallery, not for each separate file. Perhaps you should try resetting the warning dialogs in the preferences menu and see if this returns the warning to its usual function.

Operating system: Windows 7 and Windows XP.

I would like to replace the file dialog box with a programmable dialog box, that generates its selections from Database Information

Where would be the best place to achieve this?
I have been thinking about these options:
- Modification of the Operator Interface.
- Modification of the Sequence Model.
- Use callbacks to modify the sequence model.
- Use callbacks to modify the Engine (ie the Auto.seq example)
Or combinations of the above.
The biggest requirement I have in developing this project is in the reuse of code and I believe that callbacks in the seq would be the way to achieve this.
But I am not familiar with the usage of callbacks in teststand (yet) and I don't know where to look for information/examples on what I can do with them.
Has anybody done anythin
g similar?
Any suggestions would be great!
Tim

I am trying to replace the operators interface's sequence file dialog box. I am also trying to hide the standard operators interface.
What I am after is to replicate a user experience!
Teststand is being used to replace an ATE written in LV where each of the tests are hardcoded in. The user selected the product and test types from a button based dialog boxes.
I am using TS to overcome all of the limitations of the original ATE, but one of the requirements is the system has to have the same look and feel of the original.
I originally though that I would have to modify an operators interface, but I would prefer not too, and would rather change the process models and use engine and station callbacks.
If I have to change an operatos interface, I would pre
fer if the changes didn't affect the normal running of standard TS sequences.
I have attached the process model, i am trying to achieve, (its in Visio).

File Dialog Box often takes a long time to execute

Hi all
The Labview File Dialog Box Express VI sometimes takes 5 to 10 seconds to execute. On other occasions, it executes in a blink of an eye. Why is that so?
I have tried to use the older Open/Create/Replace File VI as suggested in one of the forum's posts...but it behaves exactly the same way. Another problem is the trimming of the filename, which has also been reported and has NOT YET been solved.
(By the way...Recently, I updated to LV 2012 SP2 by suggestion of the NI Update Manager, only to find out that I was not entitled to this SP (which apparently only includes bug fixes) and I will have to roll back to LV 2012. Still, in the evaluation version I can see that the bug is not fixed. Labview must have a lot of serious bugs for NI to ask for a paid bug fix, in which some bugs remain after having been reported a long time ago..well...)
What worries me now is that intermittent lag in the execution of the File Dialog (such a basic basic function of a program...). Anyone have any idea about this? The support menu said "Ask an engineer"...any of the NI engineers has any suggestion?
Regards
Helder

The file dialog is provided by the OS, so if it is slow it is not LabVIEW's fault.
What kind of computer do you have? Is this a laptop that spins down the HD to save power? In this case it needs to wait for the HD to spin up. (You can change the windows power profile or you can spend more money and get an SSD).
Are you very low on memory?
Does your LabVIEW program waste 100% CPU in parallel doing nothing due to bad coding?
Are you pointing to a location that has millions of files?
Are you pointing to a network location?
helder:---------------------------------------
I understand that the File Dialog is provided by the OS. But I have other applications on my PC and this doesn't happen - just in Labview. Sorry! And sometimes it
doesn't happen. Every 10 times I open the File dialog Box, 5 times it takes long and 5 times it is immediate.
(I am not low on memory, my coding is not bad>-look at the VI I sent, it just contains the fragment which uses the File Dialog Box and it behaves the same way! I am pointing to the same location that the other applications point to, I am not pointing to a network location, the PC is not spinning the disk down, etc etc.)
But yes, I will try it on another PC
(There was another post on the forum on this issue, but can't seem to find it now, just find my own post )
I attach a video demo of what happens.

What problem is that? Can you elaborate? There is a known bug in the windows dialog box that sometimes the pre-filled file names are shifted and not fully visible. This is a windows bug documented by Microsoft and LabVIEW has no control over it. It is not NIs job to fix OS problems.
helder:-------------------------------------------
Of course you can't fix the OS.
If it is a windows bug, we will have to live with it.
A previous post on your forum did not provide me with that information (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/File-dialog-trimming-the-default-name/td-p/2189874). The fact that it is a windows bug was not mentioned there.

Patches are included, service packs are not included. I think this is well documented. Most users are on SSP, this way you are always entitled to the newest version.
As with anything else, software has bugs. It is impossible to test a huge, complex system like LabVIEW under all scenarios. The possible number of combinations of hardware and other installed software on any particular computer probably exceeds the number of atoms in the universe. It is actually amazing how few bugs there are and how well it works. What "bug" are you talking about? Bugs are prioritized according to rules. Critical bugs are typically fixed very quickly. A cosmetic issue that only affects you and nobody else will take longer or might not even get fixed. Are you talking about a confirmed bug that could be reproduced by NI? Do you have a CAR#?
helder:----------------------------------------
I was referring to the file-name-shifting-cosmetic-bug that the October-2012 post had indicated. But if it is a Windows-bug, NI does not have any responsibility, of
course.
Regarding the bugs, of course they are unavoidable.

That sentence makes no sense! Why would the number of serious bugs depend on the cost of upgrading?? You are just rambling here....
In an ideal world, NI would have an unlimited number of programmers that can work 24/7 to immediately fix any discovered bug. This would only be possible if all users are willing to pay an unlimited amount of money for the software. As I mentioned, bug fixes are free in the form of patches, and they come out regularly. Service packs include new features and are not free.
helder:---------------------------------------
"....include new features"..????
---->>From http://www.ni.com/labview/release-details/
"LabVIEW 2012 Service Pack 1 is an exclusive update to LabVIEW 2012 for NI Standard Service Program (SSP) customers. There are no new product features introduced in service pack releases; instead, these releases provide bug fixes and improved stability for LabVIEW 2012. For a list of these bug fixes, click here."
No new features, just bug fixes!"
Moreover: If it isn't free, it shouldn' have let me update if I am not a SSP costumer.
Now I have a 45 days evaluation version. After that, I have to uninstall and reinstall everything.That takes some time and effort.
If there is a more direct way of rolling back t the previous version, please let me know.
Thank you

How to develop a file dialog box in a oracle forms

please help me its an urgent task,
how to develop a file dialog box in a oracle 6i forms
in html we will use <input type ="file"/> to open a dialog box,so that we can upload file to the server .similarly how to upload a file using oracle.

For Windows there is a library that comes with forms d2kwutil.pll that contains a package win_api_dialog. use the open_file procedure.
NOTE******** when you select a file from whatever windows directory you choose, it will change your working directory to that directory so right after that you will need to reassign your working directory back to what it originally was.
Also, you will need to have d2kwut60.dll in the same directory as your d2kwutil.pll. Both come with Developer.
Example code is
v_runpath := win_api_environment.get_working_directory(TRUE);
v_filename := win_api_dialog.open_file('Find File','C:\','*.*',TRUE, 0, TRUE);
win_api_environment.set_working_directory(v_runpath,true);
Hope this helps

Home view major bug: Home view navigation not available in Common File Dialog Box (i.e. Java, Adobe Photoshop etc)

Homeview major bug: Homeview navigation not available in Common File Dialog Box (i.e. Java, Adobe Photoshop etc)
Hi
All though provisioning somewhat more flexsible and pointing forward ... things are starting to go wrong here ... i.e. pointing to a very potential lack of success introducing users to the new Home namespace/concept ...
0) Situation if you do not fix 1 + 2:
You can not release the Homeview feature like this - without fixing 1 + 2.
If not 1 +2 is fixed you might just as well leave the release of the Homeview feature out of the roadmap for Windows 10. I.e. not ready for use ... or promotion in the UI
1) How come Homeview has not been included - like other namespaces i.e. Libraries into the Common File Dialog Box?
How can such a trivial thing to do be missed? I.e. like forgetting to include Homeview into Explorer (would be absurd).
If not included into the Places Bar of the Common File Dialog Box ... Home View will be unusable - because some very visible applications like Java, Photoshop will not be able to navigate that space easily at all.
2) Finally, please fix obscure situation in the UI namespace in Explorer
Please fix obscures like having Home view, Favorites and Libraries (side-by-side complexity and confusion obscuring usability) - all similar concepts but on a different evolutionary step. I.e. have Favorites and Libraries
hidden - and add i.e. view control like to small buttons whatever to unhide/show the legacy concepts.
In any case - Home view already seem to migrate/move links from Favorites to the Homeview container.
Additionally, Home view should migrate links from Libraries to Home view - and provide similar and better functionality.
Thus going the evolutionary way from Libraries > Favorites > Home - with the later concept of Home providing links to the cloud. Even better, sync relation ships could then later (extended features for Home) be set up among the pins - i.e. concerning
cloud/network syncing.
The UI should always reflect the 1 essentional concept - and not under the hood technologies or different evolutionary stages of the same basic/essential concept (technology/implementation free - abstract: "Home with pining of user data space"
- was previously favorites or libraries (thus obsoleted)). Now the name for that concept is Home. Have it include the technology that replaces Libraries too - i.e. categorization/nesting ... and some whitespace inbetween the nesting (alike some whitespace
already there inbetween the namespaces in the Explorer UI ... provides easy "modular" reading)

Hi,
Please clarify the following:
* "X: is a network drive, but it's actually a network drive on my machine." - Is "X" a mapped drive to one of your shared folder on network?
* What is the project directory structure with respect to WEB-INF/web.xml? Are you able to see the three pages (from web & pages folder) in NitroX Editor?
* Does the modified content appear in "Design view" of index.jsp upon restarting NitroX?
Ex:
- modify one of the pages in "web" folder > save the file (alert appears)
- restart NitroX, does index.jsp display the modified content of included page?
* If possible please send the test case project which exhibits the behavior to [email protected]

Provide a start path (folder) in a file dialog box

Is there a way to have a file dialog box start in a specific folder without using the File Dialog express VI? (I also don't want to use a system exec).
Thanks.
Richard
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was refering to functions which support the desired feature. As you already encountered, the Open/Create/Replace File.vi does not support this.
The Express VI "File Dialog.vi" uses the same file dialog as used in the example "Write to Text File.vi". You can find the VI using the link in the help of Open/Create/Replace File.vi.
Please note that the context help of this File Dialog states that "LabVIEW no longer supports this function on the block diagram. National Instruments recommends you use the File Dialog Express VI instead."
I assume that this text is written due to being platform-independent. It still works under Windows, but i can think of future releases of LV not to support this feature anymore (as stated in the help).
And still, you did not answer why you don't want to use the express vi....

What is the open File Dialog box

I am using a "File Browse..." item. With firefox a user can click on the provided Browse button or the corresponding text area to choose a file. However with IE7 the file dialog box on appears if the user clicks on the browse button.
Can someone tell me what javascript can be used to open a file dialog box? (what is called when the browse button is clicked)
Thanks.

Thanks Carl,
I thought APEX was doing some crazy javascropt stuff because I forgot about a style I had set.
Anyway, I was getting an error if an IE7 user types in a crazy string into the file dialog box and hit submit (since it is not a file). So instead of preventing it I just used a try/catch block in my custom doSubmit. If anyone else runs into this here is a little javascript to help:
(I am used a uploading image, Carl has an example of that somewhere)
<pre>
function doSubmit(r) {
if (ser_changed.length > 0) {
     if (r == "UPLOAD" || r == "SAVE_CHANGES" {
          flowSelectAll();
          $x_Value('pRequest',r)
if (r == "UPLOAD") {
try {                              /// this is where my fix is.
          document.wwv_flow.submit();
catch(err) {
html_HideElement('AjaxLoading');
alert('Invalid file');
} else {
document.wwv_flow.submit();
               }//save changes and stuff as request.
else {
          var ans = confirm("You are about to exit the page without saving your changes!" + '\n' + "Click cancel to return to the page.");
          if (ans) {
          flowSelectAll();
          $x_Value('pRequest',r);
          document.wwv_flow.submit();
          }//when yes!
$x('CANCEL_BUTT').disabled=false;
               }//not save changes and stuff
          }//when there were changes made.
          else {
                         flowSelectAll();
          $x_Value('pRequest',r);
          document.wwv_flow.submit();
          }//where there were not changes made
     }//doSubmit
</pre>
<pre>
function html_Submit_Progress(pThis,topass){
          if(pThis.nodeName=='INPUT'){pThis.value='...Loading...'}
else{pThis.innerHTML='...Loading...'};
          html_ShowElement('AjaxLoading');

Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

Please fix: Common Open File Dialog Box to support Favorites (Follow-up: Better provisioning in the Windows client)

One more thing:
What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.
Please obsolete or (re)develop components in Windows, so those components support any new workflows in Windows!
On example of an application where you cannot use Favorites is Adobe Photoshop. It uses the Common Open File Dialog Box in Windows (which does not support Favorites).
Comparing Finder (MacOS) with Windows Explorer - you "seem" to have the option of using favorites to pin folders.
Well, if your application calls Windows to use the Common Open File Dialog Box - it's actually NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL to navigate to the user concepts (user folders) pinned to favorites.
Again, the favorites namespace is completely unused (not provisioned) out-of-the-box. That's may be ok, however it's not fully implemented across Windows and just another example of stuff accumulating up to being unusable.
What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.

How to create a custom file dialog box/vi (win)??

Hello,
I'd like to create a custom file dialog box to handle the reading of my tdms files. Basicly I want to extend the existing file select dialog box with a graphical preview of the data in the selected file. I know I can create all the logic for file selection by hand and use a list box to display the filelist, but I would rather prefer to somehow use the existing windows controls. So is it possible to get the windows file selector on the front panel of a vi and react to the user selection? If so, is there any example available on how to do this? Any other options? I'm using labview 8.2
thanks for your input!
klaus

Klaus,
I wouldn't know that Microsoft provides access to the controls that Explorer and file dialog consist of.
There might be a different and more powerful solution though. The
WINDOWS Explorer / file dialog have a plugin API that allows you to
associate your own application for thumbnail creation with a particular
file extension. That way, TDMS thumbnails will show in any instance of
Explorer and
File Dialog without you having to make your own dialog. Basically, you
would need to compile the VI that creates the thumbnail into a
LabVIEW-built DLL and then wrap this DLL with some C++ boilerplate code
that Microsoft provides. You might want to have a look at the bottom of
this article to get an idea of how the whole thing works:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0600/w2kui2/default.aspx.

File dialog box: how get full path and filename (firefox 3.0 problem)

Hi,
I have a smilar problem then discussed in this thread: file dialog box: how get full path and filename
Now this solution doesn't seem to work in firefox 3.0,I only get the filename but not the full path.
I have tried to solve this problem by adding *"netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalFileRead");"* in a javacript function but that doesn't do the trick
Although when i tested it local it does work.
Any idees how to solve this?
Best Regards
Stijn

Actually, that is strange and scarry. With 20% of the browser market share they decide to behave like Microsoft did in the past - they want to decide what users need and what they do not need. With 3.0 I have a real problem with some of my applications. They are all tested in IE6, IE7, FF2.0 and they all work the same way (they even work with Opera and Safari). Now, I will for sure not go there and make it work for 3.0, just because 2 out of 200 users use FF3.0. Up to now I have always recomended FF as the best browser. 3.0 causes my opinion to change completely. Competition is always good but it is a question if it is good if we have 20 different browsers out there with equal market shares.

I see in the textfiled something like this
\FULLPATH\filename.ppt
but when i save the textvalue in the database or look at the seesionvalue I see
this:
F2087258868/filename.ppt
but I need the full path to create a link. How I can get?
I use version 2.2.1..
Thanks
Putcho

Hi Putcho,
You can create some javascript that puts it into a hidden item.
In HTML Form Element Attributes: onChange="$x('P15_X').value=$x('P15_FILE').value;" Then create another process that stores the value of the hidden item in your own table...
I quickly made an example with a normal text item, so you see it copies itself to the other box: http://apex.shellprompt.net/pls/apex/f?p=286:15

How do I get back to the newest file dialog box style in LabVIEW?

I have LabVIEW 7.1 and LabVIEW 6.0.2 installed on the same machine. When I doubleclick a .vi file it tries to open in LV602. Of course, if it is a LV71 VI I get an error and it doesn't open. Then I run LV71 and load the desired VI--in this case by using the Open arrow to find it in the "recently opened" list. Now, I've made this mistake before, especially when I don't remember whether I used LV602 or LV71 to create the VI, and nothing bad has happened.
But this time something undesirable did happen: all Open File dialog boxes are of the old funky style. How do I get the file dialog boxes back that I've grown used to seeing when I use LV71?
CLUES:
1. I get the old style dialog box even when I try to open a VI--not just when a running VI invokes it.
2. The built version of the VI brings up the correct, new style, file dialog box--unlike the development environment.
I haven't found any settings in the options area that would appear to affect the file dialog box style. Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

versions' DAQ functionality on the development computer, though it is
still painful to be able to have only one version of NIDAQ available on
a given target computer. It's probably a marketting decision
meant to encourage users to stay on the straight-and-narrow upgrade
path.
NI-DAQ has usually been working fine in
several different installed LabVIEW versions on my computer. What is
important is the order of installation. Start first with the lowest
LabVIEW version and install the latest NI-DAQ that supports that
LabVIEW version. Then go to the next LabVIEW version and install again
the latest NI-DAQ version that supported this LabVIEW version and so
on. I'm regularly working with 6.1 up to 7.1 and starting with 8.0
slowly and haven't had real show stoppers yet.
