Making sure .vi files are open with the right version

Hello everyone.
Here's my situation: I need to have LabVIEW 2010 and LabVIEW 2011 installed in my computer, as well as VI's of each of these versions. Is there any way to have Windows open the .vi file with the corresponding version of LabVIEW? I know LabVIEW 2011 is able of opening VI's from both versions but what I want is to prevent the scenario in which someone opens this file and saves the .vi in the 2011 version by accident, thus preventing me from opening in other computers where only LabVIEW 2010 is installed.
Any suggestions?

"We had a similar problem with our software and I just made main.bat -file for the main-VIs/projects in each project.
content in the bat-file fe.
"C:\Program File\National Instruments\Labview 2010\Labview.exe filename.vi"
OR
"C:\Program File\National Instruments\Labview 2011\Labview.exe filename.vi"
This way it opens allways in to the right LV-version.
This tho, doesnt prevent anyone from running your VI without the bat! "
This seems like a good idea speksih, if one could only retrieve the file version with the same script and then probably hide the actual .vi file so it's not opened by accident....it could work.

Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

wmv is a Windows Media format. I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
You need
Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences. Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
or play the files with VLC
VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
While you're at it you might install:
Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).

Why did my NEF files stop opening with the raw dialog?

I have a D3000 and PSE9 and at one time my NEF files would open with the raw dialog box. Now they only open in the normal editor. How do I get my raw dialog back?

HT5037 when I click on iPhoto(9.5.1) i get "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared." but i downloaded the up-grader, used it and it tells me the library can open with the current version... what should i do now?

When I click on iPhoto(9.5.1) i get "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared." but i downloaded the up-grader, used it and it tells me the library can open with the current version... Then when I click on the iphoto again i get the same message "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared."'
What should I do?

The upgraded is only necessary for libraries created with iPhoto '07 or eearlier. Just double click the library to open it in iPhoto, and let it upgrade, if it has been created by a newr version.

How to set file to open with the latest entry?

My "sent" file always opened at the latest entry showing the last email I'd sent but, for some unknown reason, it now loads at the top of the file showing the earliest entry. How do I get it to go back to showing the latest entries, the bottom of the file, rather than the top of the file?

Click on the header labeled DATE to sort on that column. Click the same header a second time to reverse the sort.

Cant get list of files from a folder (even though the folder and files are created with the same app)

Ok so each character rolled with my app gets saved as an html file in a folder i create on the sdcard called RpgApp
the code to do this is
private async Task saveToHtmlCharacter(string name)
StorageFolder externalDevices = Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.RemovableDevices;
StorageFolder sdcard = (await externalDevices.GetFoldersAsync()).FirstOrDefault(); //Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
var dataFolder = await sdcard.CreateFolderAsync("RpgApp",
CreationCollisionOption.OpenIfExists);
var file = await dataFolder.CreateFileAsync(name+".html",
CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(await file.OpenStreamForWriteAsync()))
writer.WriteLine("<html><head><title>Character File for " + z.charNameFirst + " " + z.charNameSecond + "</title></head><body>");
//trimed for the post
now this as i say works perfectly and i can confirm that the files show up in the "RpgApp"folder
now the next step is to have the app read the names of each of those html files and create a seperate button for each one named for the filename and with the filename as content (later i will link them up to load the html file they are named for in a webbrowser
panal)
here is the code that *should* do that
private async Task readFiles()
z.test.Clear();
StorageFolder externalDevices = Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.RemovableDevices;
StorageFolder folder = (await externalDevices.GetFolderAsync("RpgApp"));
IReadOnlyList<StorageFile> fileList = await folder.GetFilesAsync();
//z.test.Add("dummy");
foreach (StorageFile file in fileList)
z.test.Add(file.Name);
public async void buttonTest()
await readFiles();
CoreDispatcher dispatcher = CoreWindow.GetForCurrentThread().Dispatcher;
await dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
foreach (string name in z.test)
Button button1 = new Button();
button1.Height = 75;
button1.Content = name;
button1.Name = name;
testStackPanal.Children.Add(button1);
now i say should as what i get is an error of "A first chance exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.ni.dll" (2 of them in fact one after another)
more detailed error is at http://pastebin.com/3hBaZLQ9
now i went through checking line after line to find the error and line that causes it is:
StorageFolder folder = (await externalDevices.GetFolderAsync("RpgApp"));
in the readFiles method
i checked to make sure the case is right etc and its spot on, that IS the folder name, and remember my app creates that folder and creates the files that are inside that folder (and only files my app creates are in that folder) so it should have access
im 100% stuck its taken me all day to get the files to save and now i cant get them to list correctly
I have tested the button creation function with fake list data and that worked fine, as i say the error is when i tell it to look at the folder it created
all help most greatfully recieved

this was actually solved for me on another forum thread
async Task<bool> continueToReadAllFiles(StorageFolder folder)
if (folder == null)
return false;
if (folder.Name.Equals("RpgApp", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
var files = await folder.GetFilesAsync();
foreach (var file in files)
test.Add(file.Name);
return false;
var folders = await folder.GetFoldersAsync();
foreach (var child in folders)
if (!await continueToReadAllFiles(child))
return false;
return true;
public async void buttonTest()
test.Clear();
StorageFolder externalDevices = Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.RemovableDevices;
var folders = await externalDevices.GetFoldersAsync();
foreach (var folder in folders)
if (!await continueToReadAllFiles(folder))
break;
//.... commented out
...now i say solved this is more a workaround...but it works.
I would love to know why we cant just scan the RpgApp folder instead of having to scan the whole dc card and disregard all thats not in the RpgApp folder

Illustrator CS6 crashes when 40 or more files are open at the same time

Windows 7 SP1, Illustrator CS6
The end users spends 7 hours of their 8 hours in Illustrator. As part of the job, they have to have over 40 different files open at the same time because they are working on several jobs at the same time as well as working forward. So the answer is not "they have to close some files". This, unfortunately, is not an option.
We recently upgraded them to CS6. They said that version CS5 was fine and didn't crash like this. But Illustrator CS6 crashes on them, closes itself, and obviously they lose all unsaved changes (saving the changes isn't a choice either, because the files are shared and have to stay original).
The only modification we've done to the program is to UNcheck "Append" in the preferences.
This happens on all 3 computers for all 3 users, so I don't believe it to be end-user related.
Does anyone out there know of a way to get Illustrator to stop crashing?
Is there a specific limit on the number of files that can be open?
Thanks,
Spencer

No, they aren't working on the same files. All 3 employees are working on different files.
They are all on Dell Optiplex GX745 with 4 Gb of RAM.
The crashes are at different times, not all 3 crashing at the same time. Therefore, I don't believe network is the cause of the issues. Also, it didn't crash on CS5, but now it does on CS6.
What I'm looking for are possible settings within Illustrator CS6 that I can tweak to make it a more stable program.
Thanks

Reverting files to open with the original applications

I recently changed the default opening application for a few files that originally opened in Preview (certain JPGS) to open in Photoshop. I selected "use this application to open all documents like this". So of course, all JPGS now open in PS. I'm definitely not happy I did this, because now every time I pull a photo off a web page or take a screen shot (my default screen shot settings are JPGS), they will now open in Photoshop which is not what I want. I would like to have them open in Preview the way they used to. But, if I now select "use this application (Preview) to open all documents like this" for these files, all my Photoshop JPG documents will open with Preview. So, my question is, is there any way to revert things back to the way they used to be - screen shots and web photos automatically opening with Preview and all my Photoshop JPGS still opening in Photoshop?

Copied from the link I provided.
* com.apple.LaunchServices-014nnn.csstore
where nnn is the uid number, as listed in the NetInfo database, of the affected account.
You can find the uid number for any account as follows:
1. Launch NetInfo Manager, which is in the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder.
2. Select users in the middle column of the NetInfo Manager window.
3. Select the desired user account in the right column of NetInfo Manager.
4. The data for the selected user, including uid, is displayed in the lower pane of the NetInfo Manager window.

Attach DMS file to EQ with the lastest version

Hi,
We are implementing DMS,
Q1, when I create document 'TEST1' using CV01N with initial version 00, then I attached this document to an EQ. then I update the document TEST1 and save as a new version 01. since the EQ has the attachment of TEST1 version 00, now if the user view the doc, they will see the old version 00 not 01.
My question is ... is there a way to always show the lastest version of the doc. without have to go and make the adjustment in EQ master ?
Q2, do you know if there's any documentation or book that I can read up on how the DMS works ? I took DMS class about 3 yrs ago and forgot most of the information
Q3, I'm also looking to use EDMS as I think it's user friendly for our users. I have downloaded EDMS to my laptop and in the process of testing it. Do you know if there's any documentation of have it works ?
Thank you,
Sam (SDG&E)

Hi Sam,
regarding your questions I can provide you the following input and hope that it could be useful:
1. Display of latest version
In case that you are creating a new version you have to made sure that the link to the EQ is taken over to version 01. This can be maintained in the customizing of transaction DC10 for each document type under 'Define object links'. Here you can see and select the EQUI object. In its detail view you will find the field 'when new version'. Here you can define if the links are copied automaticall or after user confirmation or never to the new version 01.
If the link is handed over to the new version then I would recommend you to set the value '1' in field 'Document version' in the same customizing screen in DC10 as before. This value will grant that from object side always the current versions are displayed first. This means if there is version 00 and version 01 then the latest version '01' only will be displayed in the links.
For further information on the logic of current and all version display please see the following link too:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/Logicforcurrentandall+version
For further control of the link display on object side you can only use BADI DOCUMENT_OBJ1.
2. Documentation on DMS
Generally you will find all necessary information on DMS behavior in the SAP online documentation under http://help.sap.com under area 'Cross-Application-Components'.
Regarding a book I can offer you the SAP press book for PLM. Because DMS is part of the PLM module and in this book you will find also chapters about the DMS functionalities.
3. EasyDMS documentation
As you have installed EasyDMS on your laptop you should be able to find the documentation or help files under the installation directory of EasyDMS.
Best regards,
Christoph

How can I get the usajobs.gov website to open with the latest version of firefox?

i just updated to the latest version of firefox, now it will not let me use the usajobs.gov website. it keeps saying that it is untrusted, and since it uses https, it can not have an exception so i can not continue to the page. It also says that the site is not presenting trusted identification. i need to check my job applications, and search for jobs. this needs to be fixed asap. it does allow my to go to the home page, but when i try to log in, the message pops up.

Please make sure that all of your plugins and extensions are up to date.
In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
# Since the site only works for me if I allow Firefox to fallback to TLS 1.0 or otherwise force TLS 1.0 (i.e. set the maximum to 1.0) set security.tls.version.fallback-limit = 1

What files are distributed with the Run-Time TestStand Engine Installation?

Is there a list of files that this distribution Automatically installs as part of the Engine setup files? Specifically, I'd like to know if the Engine setup installs the StationGlobals.ini file or do I have to select this as part of the custom files installation.

Hi,
Chatper 17 of the User Manual details what is setup as default. StationGlobals.ini is not one of the cfg files setup as default so you would have to select the Custom.
The easies is to just to run the wizard and follow the various steps as detailed in Chatper 17.

SSRS reporting portal will not open with the latest version 30

Some of my users recently upgraded prior to us testing version 30 and cannot get into the SSRS reporting portal. We use SSRS 2008, and 2005.

There is likely no way that I could try testing this from my end right? I'd like to see if we need to file a bug to get this fixed or if it is a configuration issue.
