If anyone know how to bring it back please kindly post the "how-to".
Thanks in advanced!!

Check the LabVIEW Data folder in 'My Documents'. If it is set to read only, the icon editor doesn't work.
Usually this is a sign for it, when the Icon Editor is displayed for a brief moment.
The IE is open source. If the LabVIEW data folder is not write-protected, navigate to LabVIEW 2009\resource\plugins\ lv_icon.vi and check whether the IE is executable at all.
Thanks,

  • LV 2009 Icon editor

    Just installed LV 2009 and had to try out the new icon editor.
    Firstly, I'm very happy to see the huge increase in productivity possible with this new editor.  Great stuff guys. Including the Glyphs in the editor is a HUGE time-saver.
    I have noticed, however that there is a feeling of lag when drawing on the icon picture.  It's as if the picture being displayed is about 1/4 of a second behind what I'm actually doing.  Not a major problem, but I'm curious if others see the same thing.
    A possible problem is the fact that when writing text on the Icon, selecting the Name of the layer (on the panel outside of the drawing area) and typing does not shift focus away from the icon.  I need to manually select a different tool other than the text tool for the drawing editor before I can enter text anywhere in the editor.  The picture control retains focus apparently.
    Aside from that, brilliant!

    How long does it take for the Icon Editor to come up for you? I have found it to be quite slow. While I'm running LV2009 in a virtual machine, I also have 8.6 in a virtual machine, and the Icon Editor for 8.6 comes quite quickly.
    First time to call it it takes quite a while, about 6-7 seconds on my machine but subsequent calls are much quicker.
    I know the old Icon editor could be replaced (mark Balla did a great job of creating an icon editor which bears striking similarity to the new NI one in many places), maybe the new one can be copied to an older LV version, I have no idea.

  • Polymorphic icon editor - reverts back to old editor

    LabVIEW 2010 SP1
    I have a set of polymorphic VIs that I have in a Instrument Library Project in the Public Folder.
    When I try to edit the icon and select a Glyph to drag into the icon field LabVIEW reverts to the old editor!
    This is really slowing down my productivity.  Is there a way to fix this?
    This also happens to non-polymorphic VIs Icon Editor.

  • Previous versions of drivers; Screensaver Install; Active Protection Icon

    Hello,
    I'm having a few issues and was wondering if someone could offer some assistance. I have a X200 which is running Vista 64-bit OS. I just completed a clean install of Vista-64.
    Issue #1 (old *.scr file) - Is it posible to run my old Lenovo screensaver post-install? I saved it as a *.scr file to an external hard drive before deleting everything but the file will not work on my clean system by just copying it over into the appropriate folder. I get an error messasge when trying to preview it from within screensaver options. Does anyone have an excutable version of the "Think" screensaver (circa 2009/2010)?
    Issue #2 (Previous versions of Lenovo drivers) - In the past it seemed to me that installing new drivers on my system has caused certain components to stop working correctly. For example, after an update to the audio last year, I lost sound to my external speaker and just had audio when plugging in headphones. Does anyone know where I could find previous versions of drivers on a reputable website? Specifically, does anyone have a copy of a previous version (circa 2009-2010) of the Conexant Audio driver/software for Vista (64-bit) for the X200?
    Issue #3 ("ThinkVantage Active Protection") I installed this software and it is working normally. However, although I've selected, "Show active protection icon on the system tray" the icon is not displayed and I would like it to be displayed. Does anyone know what the problem may be? This happened to me before and I think I had to roll back the driver but I cannot do this right now since this is a new clean install.
    Thank you very much for any help you may be able to provide.

    hi.
    if you prefer to manage device driver updates yourself, here is the complete driver matrix:

  • Labview 2010 icon editor extremely slow

    Working on a medium size project in LabVIEW 2010.  Out of the blue the icon editor slows down.  So slow that typing in one text character takes 20 seconds.  After closing the editor there is about 3 to 5 second lag on every action I make in LabVIEW. 
    Restarting LabVIEW sets things back to normal until I open the Icon Editor.  Opening any SubVI results in this problem.  And this occurs in any project or even if no project is open and I try to edit icon in an Untitled 1 subVI.
    Anyone else seen this behavior.  I really don't want to re-install LabVIEW 2010. 
    Thanks
     

    I'd almost suggest using the old icon editor, then edit and save the VI, then try the new icon editor again.  One issue could be with keeping track of all that layer information and one of them having bad data or something.  By using the old icon editor and saving, it might save the icon as the flat image it is, and wipe away all that layer information the new icon editor uses.  
    Of course before there was an improved icon editor developers made their own, and I'm curious to know if they still work, and if they would load faster.

  • Why does LabVIEW 2009 revert to the old icon editor?

    Hi,
    I have noticed that sometimes when I am trying to edit the icon in LabVIEW 2009, I get the old style icon editor from LabVIEW 8.5 days instead of the more advanced new one with layers, gliphys, etc.  Once the old style editor shows up, there doesn't seem to be a way to go back to the advanced editor.  Has anyone seen this behaviour?  I have version 8.5 of LabVIEW still installed, should I remove it?  Do I need to restart my computer?
    Thanks.
    Bob

  • I downloaded the newest version and there is a Circle with a slash through it over the firefox icon. When I click on it the message is the system does not support this version. How do I reinstall the previous version?

    I updated firefox. When I did there was a circle with a slash (as in No!) across the firefox icon. I clicked on it to open the browser and the error message reads: the application firefox cannot be launched - 10661
    How do I go to the previous version that worked just fine?

    Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs. <br />

  • I accepted/installed an update for iMovie and it turns out that this version is not compatible with my graphics card. So now I can no longer open or use iMovie.  Any ideas on how to get around this - how to revert to the previous version.

    Look in your Applications folder.  If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder.  Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

    Ummmm, could you ellaborate on how you plan to turn to Windows because iTunes (an application that runs on Windows) is running slow?

  • Numbers: how do I turn on the feature that fills the cell with typing that was previously used? The previous version had this feature. I could type the first letters of a name in a cell and the entire name would automatically appear.

    Numbers: how do I turn on the feature that fills the cell with typing. In the previous versions, I could type a name or word and then a list of names/words with the same letters would appear. I could choose the name/word to enter into the cell. This saved many strokes. If I was typing a word with only one like it previously entered, that word would appear, grayed, and I could simply tab to the next cell, automatically entering that word in that cell. Is this feature in this version of Numbers? The autofill tab 1)I can't turn it on and 2) it doesn't seem to do the same thing.
    Thanks.

    The developers failed to propagate that feature from version 2 to version 3. I believe it is on the short list of things to be restored in May 2014 or so.
    Here's the full list as published by Apple:
    Numbers
    Customize toolbar
    Improvements to zoom and window placement
    Multi-column and range sort
    Auto-complete text in cells
    Page headers and footers
    Improvements to AppleScript support

  • Mac osx 10.5 will not open download - has a 'no entry' bar over icon and message 'not supported on this architecture', also has overwritten previous version.

    As above. Did not notice the 'no entry' sign and dragged icon in applications as per your instructions and it replaced the previous version. Now have no Firefox at all. Tried 3 downloads, all no good.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com
