Open Sequence Dialog and TestStand2.0

Hello,
I am trying to set the default search directory in Open sequnce File Dialog.vi. I see that there is a place where you can input the initial path, and this is exactly what I want. I have looked in the online help and it appears I am using it correctly. LabVIEW does not scream at me but the initial location goes back to the previous selection (last directory used) as if the input is null (what the out-of-the-box TestStand default is). Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Kevin

I figured out the problem...the inital path input requires the path to have a '\' at the end of the file path. I have been building so long with the Path Builder that I forgot about this...so for example I was using C:\TestStand\Tutorial and the input requires C:\TestStand\Tutorial\ I would not have guessed that it was going to fuss over this but hey...problem solved.

Spoils some css designs automatically, if we open jquery dialog and close it

We are using canvas feature of HTML5, in 1 page.
when we use jquery dialog box as an input screen, after closing that jquery dialog box, something happens to css in the background, OR firefox is handling it oddly (no idea).
Everything in the page looks shrunk OR disturbed OR not aligned OR not as expected.
The same scenario works perfectly fine in Chrome.
this was the firefox version 32, but it happens in all versions of firefox like, 30, 31...etc

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

[solved] pcmanfm 0.9.8 - "open with" dialog and applications sidebar

I'm running pcmanfm with fairly fresh reinstall of openbox and I'm still struggling to get my xdg/mimeinfo stuff straightened out.
I've installed both lxmenu-data and gnome-menus and when I right click on a file and select "open with" it is blank. Nothing is listed. Doing the same with Thunar works like expected.
Also, the "applications" menu/shortcut section of pcmanfm is curiously empty even after installing gvfs.
I'm trying to figure out if it's just a package that I'm missing because my previous install had it working fine. (I habitually reinstall just to update my documentation...what can I say, I'm strange)
Thanks!

Great, thanks!
Before I try that though I'll likely dig around a bit more. I think it's related to some filetype / mime issues.
I just tried to open a .torrent file with
mimeopen -d /path/to/file
and I got the error: "No applications found for mimetype: application/x-bittorrent"
damn.

How to get an open file dialog in Forms 9i?

Although in online help I can find the get_file_name function just like it was in Forms 6.0, at runtime this wonderful function doesn't seem to do anything.
Furthermore, there is no more d2kwutil.pll, nor d2kwutil.dll.
How could I get an open file dialog?

Hi,
actually this functionality does not work. The reason for this is that Forms9i is Web only and there is no functionality downloaded with the generic Java Applet. For the moment I filed an enhancement request to have this on our radar. Meanwhile, if you need thi sfunctionality you can help yourself by writing a PJC that opens a dialog and performs the action that you want to.

Open Type dialog doesn't show all results

I have a workspace with 11 projects with various interdependencies. If I open the Open Type dialog and search for a type not all the types always shows up. It appears that it only shows types that are part of the currently selected file's project's dependencies.
Is this supposed to work this way? How do I get it to list all the types in the workspace so that I can easily jump from one project to the other? Currently I end up always using the Open Resource dialog instead, but this isn't ideal.

Currently this is the expected behaviour. Please vote for the ECR https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-11801 to make the open type search the entire workspace rather than the current project.

Create/Open Workbook dialog performance

Hi,
We use Discoverer Plus (Application Server version v10.1.2.2) and we have around 20,000 workbooks. All these workbooks are shared amoung all the user, in other words all the discoverer users have access to all these 20,000 workbooks.
We are experiencing a slight delay (20-30 sec) while opening "Create/Open Workbook dialog" in discoverer plus. This dialog appears automatically when the discoverer plus is launched. We area also experiencing a slight delay (20-30 sec) when we try to open "Open workbook from database" dialog. This can be opened using File/Open or Click Browse button from "Create/Open Workbook dialog".
Please suggest any solution to improve the performance of this or any configuration in discoverer plus that supresses the "Create/Open Workbook dialog" that apprears automatically when discoverer plus is launched.
Any suggestions is much appreciated.
Regards
Sriram

Hi Michael,
Thanks a lot for the details.
We are following this approach. We have three catagories of users and they are as follows:
Super -> All the discoverer plus permissions are assigned ( Create/modify/schedule and all the other Plus permissions).
ReadWrite -> Only Create/modify workbook (Scheduling not allowed)
View -> Only to run the workbooks created by the above two users.
We have created three database users for discoverer and assigned appropriate permission in Administrator and created public connections for these users.
Discoverer is accessed from our application (by clicking a menu item provided in our bespoke application). The application users are maintained within the application and we also have a security module which restricts the use access to application. In that security module we have three roles (as above) created for discoverer purpose and users will be given permission to one of the roles. When the user invokes discoverer from application, it decides which discoverer user to be used based on the discoverer role assigned and launches discoverer plus.
Please note each application belong to an organisation.
We follow naming convention when the workbooks are created, the organisation specific workbooks starts with the organisation name + workbook details. All the workbooks are shared to all the above users, so that it is accessible to all the categories of users. The basic idea is, user logs in to discoverer plus and click browse button in the Create/Open workbook dialog and search for their organisation workbook by typing in thier organisation name and then select the workbook to run.
The problem that we are facing here is the amount of time it takes (15-20 sec) to open "Create/Open workbook" dialog and "Open workbook from database" dialog window.
I have checked all the indexes are in place and added a composite index as well. It takes the same time. Is there any way we can supress Create/Open workbook dialog window when Discoverer Plus is launched?

Couldn't open first dialog from second dialog in a single project (VC++)

Hai all,
Good Day. I am very new to Visual C++. I am learning VC++ and doing practice side by side using IDE - Visual Studio 2005. In my project i created two dialogs. In
first dialog BARCODE_DIALOG (CBarCodeDlg) if i clicked a button "password", i want to open a
second Dialog DIALOG2(CPasswordDlg). in this if i clicked main button DIALOG2 closed at same time i want to open first Dialog and have to do changes in first dialog.
my problem is i closed the second dialogv by calling OnOK(). but i couldn't open first dialog. How to do?
//For opening second dialog from first dialog:
//CBarCodeDlg.cpp
void CBarCodeDlg::OnBnClickedBpswd()
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
OnOK();
m_dPswdDlg.DoModal(); // added variable public CPasswordDlg m_dPswdDlg
//For close second dialog and do changes in first dialog
//CPasswordDlg.cpp
void CPasswordDlg::OnBnClickedBmain()
OnOK();
m_dBarCodeDlg.DoModal(); //added varible public CBarCodeDlg m_dBarCodeDlg
if i added this
m_dBarCodeDlg.DoModal(); //added varible public CBarCodeDlg m_dBarCodeDlg
getting errors. How to call it and also i have to do changes in BarcodeDlg if clicked main button. can you plese help me to do it.

yes david. Thanks a lot david. i got it. but what i am doing in second dialog, i getting a string and comparing with another string. if equal then enabling another button "main". if i clicked main i want enable product number combo box
in first dialog. how to enable it.
You are thinking wrong about the second dialog. It should not be trying to control the first dialog. What it should do is set some internal state that the first dialog can interrogate after DoModal() returns. The simplest (bur not best OOP practice) is to
use a public member variable, say a bool m_bSame. Then you could do
//CBarCodeDlg.cpp
void CBarCodeDlg::OnBnClickedBpswd()
CPasswordDlg dlg;
if( (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK) && dlg.m_bSame)
// enable Combo box
else
// report some kind of error
Or, even simpler, you could only allow the second dialog to return IDOK if the two strings are the same. Then you would not need the bool variable.
Or you could put the user-entered string in a public member variable and do the test in the first dialog. Then you could create the entire second dialog in the designer, without adding any code (just add a public CString variable that is bound to an edit
control).
Modal dialogs are usually just information gatherers. They should bot be reaching out into the rest of the application.

Opening photos in LR2 via "Edit in PSCS3" will pop up "Open as" dialog

Hello to everybody...and i already apologise the errors in grammar :-)
I've been using LR2 since the official launch; it's been okay so far but now, for unknown reason, when trying to open any image via "edit in PSCS" (JPEG, RAW, Virtual Copy, anything no matter even the file name), the CS3 opens the normal "Open as" dialog, and does not open anything directly from LR2. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Much discussed in other threads.

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

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.

What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it

What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it?
I have a bug in my code (that I've posted about before, here) which I can't fix at the moment, but I do have a workaround.
Briefly, the bug:
I call a dll from a function node, to initialise and run a spectrometer. If I start up the PC, LabVIEW and run my vi the code runs without complaint, the first call to the dll to initialise the spectrometer doesn;t return an error but the spectrometer is not detected either.
I've tried various solutions, see the link above, and none work
The workaround:
If, at any time before running the code containing the function node I open an 'open file' dialog window, select the dll and click ok/hit enter then everything is fine. When I run the main code the spectrometer is detected.
I use an express vi to open the file dialog, I specify the start path and file name as constant inputs and just click ok/hit return when the dialog pops up. I don't do anything with the dialog outputs. In fact the vi that contains the open file dialog can be run before the project containing the bug is even open.
I have to do this everytime I turn the PC on.
So, either
1) Can somewone suggest a fix for the original bug?
2) What is the easiest way to simulate the enter keypress when the open file dialog pops up
or
3) Can someone tell me what the open file dialog does under the hood that somehow causes the dll to work and can it be simulated in straight LabVIEW
I suspect that the dll itself is dodgy ( I have in the past talked to the supplier but not got very far, and I will try again but I would like a quick, temporary solution too). I'm guessing that the file dialog is making some kind of check on the file, and possibly registering its presence with the OS (winXP). I tried using the file/folder exists vi to see if checking the file like that worked but no luck.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Dave

Hi David
I am very conscious about thread hijacking but this sounded like my issue so I hope you dont mind me asking about your issue. I am hoping that you have a spectrometer from the same vendor as me and its not just me seeing an Error 1097 issue. My spectrometer is from a company called Stellarnet.
So far I have unable to get it to work with other VIs. There is one condition where I can get it to work but its no good for me.
Case 1
I open the VI in a fresh labview environment with no other VIs in memory. The code runs with no issue.
Case 2
Labview is not opened. I double click the spectrometer VI in windows explorer. The VI opens but it fails to run resulting in Error 1097. Personally, I dont see the difference between this and Case 1 above and yet it fails.
Case 3
If I already have other VI's in memory and try to load the spectrometer VI and run it fails with Error 1097. This case is the one that most important to me. I have a test executive that will load test VIs dynamically and I can't get this to work. Same problem Error 1097.
I wanted to share what I have seen with you and to let you know that maybe somebody else has the same issue. I am convinced its the DLL but the vendor dis-agreed saying it was LabVIEW. I couldn't convince him otherwise.
Thanks in advance
David

RW2 preview in finder and "Open file" dialog

Hello,
I run into a curiosity with RW2 file format (from LX3 and FZ38). In Finder, RW2 preview is not displayed and only default icon (black icon with text exec in corner). The same RW2 files does have correct preview, when I browse them in "Open file" dialog window (for example Safari > File > Open File...).
How it is possible the Finder and Open dialog do have different settings? Is it possible to copy these settings?
Thank You

Photoshop CS6 and CC freezes in Open/Save dialog

Photoshop is unuasable for me. I was running CS6 but it kept freezing when I tried to open a file. I uninstalled and installed CC -- same problem. I checked the preferences to see if there was a setting for an Adobe file dialog and it froze again.
I suspect it has something to do with Mountain Lion 10.8.4 but I don't have this problem in other Adobe apps.
Ran Disk Utility, verified permissions, verified disk -- everything checks out. Not sure what to do
This sucks because I have a big project due this weekend

It also could be a plugin, anti-virus or other utilities.
Try disabling any third party plugins you have installed.
Check the utility programs as well.
And you can try trashing the OS prefs for the save dialog in Photoshop: com.adobe.photoshop.plist.

Show File Open Dialog and get File

Am creating a document where I want to prompt the user with the File Open dialog box and when a file is selected, I want to get that file and attach to the document. I know the scripting allows files to be attached but how do I display the dialog and then attach using the script.
Will greatly appreciate the help.
Am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7
Thanks
Nilesh!

Hi Nilesh,
You can use the getDataObject method of the Adobe document object. Below is a sample script that you can attach to the click event of a button to see how it works. For more information on importDataObject and getDataObject go to
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/javascript/AcroJS.pdf
SAMPLE
======
//Get a handle to the Adobe document object
var doc = event.target;
//Display a file dialog box and assign the name Attachment to the
//DataObject that contains the selected file.
doc.importDataObject("Attachment");
//Get the DataObject and store it in MyData
var MyData = doc.getDataObject("Attachment");
//Clear and display the console window
console.show();
console.clear();
//Output the properties of the DataObject
for (var i in MyData) console.println("MyData." + i + "=" + MyData[i]);

Open File dialog user can delete and rename files.

Does any one know if there is a way to prevent a user from deleting and renaming files by right clicking on them in an Open File dialog box?

Well, the problem is that this isn't a LV dialog box. It's the standard Windows file dialog box and this is the way they work in Windows.
