How do I specify order of Icon Templates?

I use Icon Templates (for the Icon Editor) a lot, and have about 30-40 that I use regularly. I previously had them in several folders in Icon Templates, including a few at the top level, a half-dozen in a folder called Excel, most of them in a folder called Labs, and a few duplicates of Labs templates that mysteriously appeared in the folder VI\3rd party.
I didn't pay much attention to the order of the Templates when I opened the Template tab on the Icon Editor -- they seemed to be "logically ordered", except for the occasional "duplicate" template that showed up from the 3rd party folder.
I was building a new LabVIEW installation, and wanted to copy my Icon Templates folder, but decided to also "reorganize" it. I moved all of the icons formerly in Labs into VI\3rd party, and got rid of some stragglers.
Now, when I open the Template tab, I find that the Templates appear in "reverse alphabetical order" based on their name, not their path. I'm definitely not happy about having "Small" come before "Big" (because S comes after B), and also would prefer that organizing the Templates into Folders would mean that the order would be respected when they appear in the list of Templates (so that, for example, all of the Templates in the \Excel folder would be together and not interspersed with the Templates in \VI\3rd party).
I'm guessing that the order is set/saved somewhere, as I'm pretty sure that it wasn't previously "reverse-alphabetic across all folders". If so, I'd like to know where/how this is done so I can "adjust it to my preferences". Who can clue me in?

Sorry -- I was travelling and away from my computer. The two images show the way the 3rd party VI templates look in the Icon Editor, and the way they appear in Windows Explorer. [I also looked using the DOS Dir command -- same order]. As near as I can tell, it's reverse-alphabetic. I may have another PC that I haven't "reorganized" where the order makes more sense to me, but it would really be nice to "understand" how this works so we can "tweak" it to suit our (perhaps weird) preferences.

How to change the order of the icons in the dock with Lion?

Hello
since I've installed Lion on my Mac I cannot change the order of the icons used for quick launch.
Any idea how I customize the order of the icons?
Thanks

How do I access specified order options programmatically?

Using the RAS SDK (or any other .NET API), is it possible to access the specified order options of a group? I am talking about the named groups with specified conditions.
I have found nothing when searching through the documentation, but maybe I am overlooking something. I know this used to be possible with the crpe32.dll - is it no longer possible?
Thanks in advance!

Hello, John;
You can access the GroupOptions throught .NET RAS. Here is a link to the Developer Library section on groups:

There is a sample of Group and Group sort code in the "VB .NET How To Samples" at:

How Do I Reverse Order Of Files In Icon View ?

My folder has files in Icon View arranged according to Date Created.
However, the last ones come first ........ how can I reverse the order so that the last ones come at the end?
It's easy in List view as you just click the triangle but how do you do it in Icon View?

Thanks Kappy - it was not mine but a neighbours question.
Originally they had the icons starting with the oldest but I think they must have had the "Arrange by" window set to none, so the files were in the order of creation. Then someone must have hit the "Date" button!

Question - Sorting by a specified order that is neither Z to A, or A to Z -- is this possible and how?

I need records sorted in a specified order using a text field where A to Z or Z to A won't work. An example would be Orange, Banana, Cherry. How do I make it happen?

Hi OceanDr,
Based on your description, you want to Sorting by a specified order, neither A to Z nor Z to A. If in this scenario, we can try to add a calculated field to convert the values of the field to a, b, c, d… depend on the specified order. Then Sorting the field
by A to Z to achieve your requirement. For more details, please refer to the following steps:
Right-click the dataset to add a calculated field named Order with the expression like below:
=switch(Fields!LineCode.Value="Orange","A",Fields!LineCode.Value="Banana","B",Fields!LineCode.Value="Cherry","C")
Right-click the report item to open the properties dialog box.
Click Sorting in the left pane, then add a sorting as below:
Sort by: [Order]
Order: A to Z
If you have any other questions, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,

How do I get my 7th gen nano to play music in specified order? It either repeats songs endlessly or shuffles; neither do I want it to do.

If you are working out with this divide and running it will shake to shuffel and you can go under playlist and add new play list and make that way and you can put them in any order and you can turn off shake to shuffel and the settings under music

How do I save Icon templates with the Project files?

My project files are stored in a folder, say, "My Documents\LabVIEW\My Project", and this folder, in turn, is saved under (Sub)Version Control. I'd like to include a sub-folder called "Icon Templates" that could contain the icon templates I'm using in this project, but they seem to be "forced" into "My Documents\LabVIEW Data\Icon Templates" (almost the same, but the "owning folder" is different).
Is there any way to change, preferably on a Project-by-Project basis, the default location for Icon Editor templates? I tried to figure this out, and saw that one could change where "3rd Party" templates were stored, but that didn't seem to do anything (maybe because I don't understand the concept of a "3rd Party"?).
An important (to me!) reason to accomplish this is that I want to commit my new icons when I commit the rest of the Project, and have them appear when I checkout the project on another machine (or do an update from the Repository).
Suggestions welcomed ...
Bob Schor

Well, I thought of this as well. I did change Default Data Documents (which seems to be where Icon Editor expects to find its Templates file) to My Documents\LabVIEW (instead of LabVIEW Data), and that worked (sort of). But that still doesn't solve my problem. I have multiple projects -- My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 1, say, and My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 2, and want to have a specific set of icon templates for each stored, say, as Project 1\Icon Templates and Project 2\Icon Templates.
My problem is two-fold. First, there is a setting in Icon Editors, Tools, that seems to be designed to let you designate where your "special" templates are located, which I've set to, for example, My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 1\Icon Templates. However, when using the Icon editor, these templates never appear! It's as though it's still "locked" into the "3rd Party" sub-folder of the parent Icon Templates folder. Second, even if this worked (which it doesn't), is there a way to "embed" this setting as part of Project so that the settings "stay with the Project" (and can thereby be customized)? One important reason to do this is to simplify organizing Projects and folders on disk -- I keep them "together" (use the same structure for both, so a Project is contained, on disk, inside a single set of nested folders), which greatly simplifies and facilitates using Version Control to manage development.
Thanks for the reference. I didn't know about all of the symbolic names. It does appear that they are only used in the VI Search Path entry, correct?

How to block an order if the price is too low?

Hello,
My problem is :
How to block an order if the price is too low?
I created a new type of condition ZMIN and an access by material.
When the net price is below the minimum price the system must position the order on incomplete document for error of price.
Thank you in advance.
Frédéric Blaise
e-Kenz S.A.

Hello,
you can enter a lower limit in the condition record:
Lower limit of the condition rate/amount
Indicates whether, during document processing, the system checks if manual changes fall short of the lower limit allowed for the corresponding condition record.
Use
When you maintain the scales in a condition record, the system checks whether the scale value falls below the lower limit.
Or you can use the flag 'conditon update'.
Condition update
Controls whether limit values are relevant for pricing.
E.g.: you can make the use of a particular condition record in the document dependent on a specified total value.
This total value can be specified in the condition record.
I hope that the information are helpful.
With best regards

you can try to design the RTF by Regrouping the XML data based on your requirement then you may get proper order.

How can I change the application default template

Hi!
If I go to Application Shared Components | Definition | Template Defaults I can see the default page template used by my application. One would think that this is the place to change the default template if wanted to change it, but NOOOOOOO..., like many other things ApEx that's not the way you do it. (An example is the order of columns in an interactive report... all those up/down arrows in there mean nothing if ApEx sets the column default order differently from what you set in the query source or the report attributes section. Nope. You have to log into the application as a developer, edit the column order in your interactive report, and save your report as the default, and THEN you'll get your ordering right. What are these ApEx developers thinking I just don't know...)
I've search around the forums but I haven't found my answers (perhaps I haven't searched hard enough).
So, how do I change the default page template for all pages in my application?
Marc

...and once there, if you click on any of the templates looking for a way to set any of them as the default you'll be looking all day. You see the default column with check marks... why not implement the ability to check/uncheck defaults right there?
Alas, if you click on Edith Theme <no>, then you can set the default template. It's a little link to the right under Tasks.
My bad for still not understanding the way the ApEx interface works. It certainly isn't intuitive to me, but that's just me. Hopefully I'll get better.

How do I specify the JRE i wish to use to Run an Application.

Hi Everyone;
Please bear with me if you read this before.
I have installed java 1.3.1 and java 1.4.1 in that order.
The JRE used by default is java 1.4.1
How do I specify the JRE I wish to use to Run an Application from a command prompt.
Example:
Java -something org.jboss.Main
help ??
Stephen

I was a lil embarrassed. I told my supervisor that the installation of java overwrites the JRE and that's that.
My supervisor took 10 minutes and went through it and found java.exe in the System32 file.
The java.exe file is found in guess where "C:/WINNT/System32/" folder how nice. C:/WINNT/System32/ is in the path. Not only that it's the first entry in the path. So when I execute java it is not using java.exe any one of the java files that I got from the java website.
So I don't have any control over the version.
Oh well;
That's life. That's 1 for my supervisor.

Obviously I need to speak another language for you.... AGAIN my intentions were to answer the original post... Obviously more than one person has had this issue... I didn't create the post! If you take the time to read what I have said, I in fact wasn't the one asking the question, I was answering it! It's funny your on an Apple forum stating that information given by APPLE is incorrect.... Mind boggling! When answering a question on a forum, there are those that will disagree with the answers you have provided..SO WHAT! My life goal is not to answer to you or anyone else's satisfaction... Get over it.. You call it splitting hairs, I call it stating my opinion...I would have had to provide a service in order to provide a disservice, to which my opinion is not! If you don't agree with what I or APPLE has said, shrug and move on....

I want to email photos on a different email system, gmail. How can I get the email icon of iphoto to put my photo on a gmail email?

If you have Mail setup a a client for your Gmail account set iPhoto to use Mail. Then select one of Mail's stationary templates for photos and use it. May not be as good as the iPhoto templates but will be fancier than a plain email window.
