Typedef updates don't update callers when using save as

I have a typedef that holds configuration data for my system...this typedef is used by many VIs in my application.
This typedef will change over time as I add/delete configuration parameters, but I would also like to retain old versions of the typedef so that I can retrieve old configuration information.
I accomplish this by always using "Save As" whenever I update the typedef, and saving new versions with a different name. For example:
ConfigData_v1.ctl
ConfigData_v2.ctl
ConfigData_v3.ctl
What I expect to happen is that I can open up a current version of the typedef (let's say ConfigData_v1.ctl), make changes, then select "Save As"...I do *not* check the "Save a copy without updating callers" checkbox because I *do* want all callers to now point to the new typedef that I will be saving as ConfigData_v2.ctl.
I've noticed, however, that if I start LabVIEW and first open up ConfigData_v1.ctl, make the changes, select "Save As" (not checking "...updating callers..."), and then close ConfigData_v2.ctl (which was opened as ConfigData_v1.ctl)...when I open any of the VIs that use(d) the ConfigData_v1.ctl typedef, they have not been updated to point to ConfigData_v2.ctl.
Is this because VIs which use ConfigData_v1.ctl were not loaded into memory at the time when I made the change to the typedef? Strange.
Thanks!
BTW, if you're curious about how the data is managed, I have written a VI that pulls in data that conforms to an old version of the typedef and extracts the data into a new version of the typedef. This allows me to update my configuration typedef and propagate any saved values from old to new.

"Is this because VIs which use ConfigData_v1.ctl were not loaded into memory at the time when I made the change to the typedef?"
In short: Yes. Only the callers in memory are updated.

  • Why can't a new folder be created within my user home directory when using 'Save As' in Mountain Lion?

    Hi,
    So I want to create a new folder within my main user home directory (not the root directory) just for my developer-related files? I can do this from Finder, although it does prompt me for my password to do so. However, when using 'Save As' from any app, the 'New Folder' button is greyed out when I select my user home directory. So I have to create the folder in Finder then Save As.
    Is this normal behavior? Is OSX discouraging me from adding things to my user home directory by making it less convenient? Is there a good reason it would be discouraging me from creating new folders there? If not, is there a setting that I can change to allow the creation of new folders from the Save As prompt?
    Thanks for your help,
    B

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • How stop PS6 from removing the DPI value from an image when using "save for the web"?

    How stop PS6 from removing the DPI-value from an image when using "save for the web"?
    Example:
    - Open a tif image, that contains a dpi value (resolution).
    - Use the splice tool in PS6.
    - Export the slices with "Save for web", as gif-files.
    Then the dpi value is removed, the gif files has no dpi value (it's empty).
    How can we stop PS6 from removing the dpi value when using "save for web"?
    OR:
    When using the slice tool, how can we save the sliced pieces without PS removing the dpi value?

    you can make your art go a little bit over the bounds. or you can make sure your artboart and art edges align to pixels

  • Problems with COLOUR when using "save as".

    Running on Mac, get dulled out and purple colour tone when using "Save As".  When using "Save for Web.." colours are OK.  Colour profiles and images coming into Raw are set as sRGB. Can anyone help??   I do have to convert to 8 bit to save as JPG.  Any help appreciated.

    The Print version is what a ProPhoto file looks like when viewed as if it was sRGB - i.e. in a non-color managed application. So there's still a ProPhoto profile here.
    Here you can see how the colors shift by going between sRGB and ProPhoto (using assign and/or convert). Your original is in the middle. You can see it's the very same color shift:
    If you convert to sRGB and you still get the same outcome, which you shouldn't, maybe the preferences are corrupt. Or maybe user error and you still have ProPhoto embedded.

  • Update bundling when using OO Programming

    How do I use update bundling when I try to save data to Multile tables, in OO programming concept? In classic SAP, we can use a perform on commit and roll back, but can I achieve this in OO prgramming, without having to create a function module specificly for saving? I am not using a OO transaction.
    Thanks

    For bundle updates you have to create a special update function module. You can find details here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/41/7af4cba79e11d1950f0000e82de14a/frameset.htm

  • Difference in PDF page size when using Save versus Save As

    I am having a problem when I save PDFs from Illustrator with the page size changing
    When saving as a PDF from Illustrator CC (Mac OS 10.6.8) the page size of the resultant PDF should be the size of the artboard.
    Create New File
    Save as PDF (Illustrator Default setting)
    Open PDF in Acrobat
    The page size equals the size of the artboard
    Open same file back into Illustrtor
    Edit the file in some way (draw a box outside of the artboard)
    Reopen the file back into Acrobat, now the Page size is different from the artboard.
    If I resave the file using save as, essentially overwriting the old file, the artboard is back as it should be.
    It is almost as if Save As is using the artboard, but Save uses artwork bounds.
    This appears to be a glitch but I have not been able to isolate the cause. Tried trashing prefs, didn't help. Had th same problem in CS5, couldn't figure it out then either, so I don't think this is version specific problem.
    This problem is specific to my workstation, as my co-workers do not have the same problem, unless they start working on a file I created. Could be some kind of virus like problem.
    Anyone had expeirences with this issue? I had really hoped upgrading to CC would have cleared this up but it seems to be following me, which is why I thought trashing prefs would have cleared it up.

    Finally found someone with the exact same problem. Our entire department of 7 people is having this same issue. It is strange becasue we can't isolate where it starts.
    If we save our PDF back to .ai file,
    close and reopen Illustrator CC,
    open the .ai file and save to PDF again,
    then the file is "clean" and works as expected.
    But then somewhere down the line we get another file that does the same thing. Then any file we open after that will have the same problem, unless we repeat the process I mentioned. This has been consistent between Illustrator CS6 and Illustrator CC.
    This started happening about 2-3 weeks ago (mabe longer?) and is killing us when we run our PDF to our step and repeat workflows because they use the trim and bleed size for placement and this is being ignored. I am looking for a solution as well.

  • Is it possible to preset to JPEG High when using 'Save for Web...'?

    Hi,
    I am using photoshop elements 10. When I am ready to save an image under 'SAVE FOR WEB..' can I preset it to 'JPEG HIGH' cos right now it will pop up 'GIF'.
    When I am using PSE2, I am able to launch it as JPEG HIGH. Now, I have to click on the popdown menu to select 'JPEG High'.

    You need to right-click on the PSE desktop icon and choose "Run as Administrator".
    Then, open a file in PSE, use Save for Web and change all the settings to what you prefer. Hold down the Alt key and the "Done" button will change to a "Remember" button. Click it and then save your image. The settings will be saved and you do not have to run PSE as an administrator again.

  • Terrible image quality when using Save for Web in Adobe Illustrator CS6

    When saving images of any format and of any ppi using "Save for Web", "round" corners become blurred and pixel , "acute" (vertical and horizontal) angles are clear and of good quality. Reinstalled system with the hope that the cure (Windows 7 64-bit) - has not helped. Up to this point, such a problem did not face, all was well. How can i deal with this?

    You are not really making sense.
    a) Viewing images at more than 100% in any viewer will introduce resampling from image to screen space. Different tools use different algorithms, but none of them will ever be perfectly "sharp". Again, simple mathematics.
    b) JPEG is a compressed format that will never produce "sharp" lines in areas that don't coincide with the underlying block compression. If you wanted that, you'd use PNG or other formats.
    So unless you can provide screenshots that illustrate your issue better at 100% zoom, I see nothing out of the ordinary here. Of course there could be all sorts of issues liek color space conversion or odd pixel sizes causing unfavorable distribution of compression blocks, but we realyl cannot judge any of that based on teh info you provided. Just saying that something doesn't look like you experct it to isn't really helping...

  • Color shift (lightening) when using "Save for Web & Devices..."

    Can someone please let me know why I'm getting a color shift (the entire image lightens noticably) when I export an image or animated gif with "Save for Web & Devices...". It happens on PCs and Macs, and with both CS3 and CS2.
    I've been using this feature (flawlessly until a few months ago) long enough to realize that there are several settings to adjust the color table, dithering, web snap, etc., but adjusting these settings don't seem to fix the problem. When I use "Save As..." the color shift doesn't occur, and that's been my workaround, but I'm currently trying to save a few animated gifs, which must be saved with "Save for Web & Devices..." in order to retain the animation.
    Please help!! Many thanks.

    Ah ha! I thought so. The only reason I can speak on this topic at all is because of what I was forced to learn when I started using a Dell LCD flatscreen.
    As mentioned earlier, most monitors are pretty close to sRGB, which made web work somewhat easier. However, it seems recently some so-called "wide gamut" monitors have come to market, including the recent crop of Dells. The new Dells can produce a gamut that is closer to Adobe RGB than sRGB. This means -- speaking loosely -- it can produce brighter and more saturated colours than an "sRGB" type monitor.
    RGB numbers, in the context of a defined colour space, represent an "actual" real life colour. A very bright red in sRGB colour space may be represented by r255b0g0, but that same "actual" red colour is represented in the wider Adobe RGB colour space by r219b0g0. Adobe RGB, being wider than sRGB, can include still brighter reds than sRGB's brightest red, hence where sRGB hits a roof at r255, Adobe RGB can keep going higher.
    Imagine two ladders, each with ten steps on it. The Adobe RGB ladder is taller than the sRGB ladder, even though they both have ten steps. The 9th step is higher (i.e. brighter) on the Adobe RGB ladder than on the sRGB ladder. So if an image contains the RGB values of r219b0g0, well if you assign it to sRGB, it will not be a very bright red. If you assign it to Adobe RGB, it will be a brighter red, because that "ladder step" (like the 9th step) is higher than the same step in sRGB.
    This is why your image appears brighter when viewed in SFW and in web browsers. Photoshop knows it's supposed to be using sRGB colour space, but SFW and web browsers DOESN'T, and so it just assigns your monitor colour space, which with these Dell monitors is wider than sRGB.
    I think the Dell monitor is fine...I still highly recommend purchasing some type of hardware calibration utitily (one that has a thingy that attaches to the screen to measure the light being emitted). Properly calibrate and profile your monitor, trust what you see in Photoshop, convert to sRGB for web images, and forget the rest. Either way, your images will look "good" on some people's monitors and "bad" on others.

  • Getting prompted to Save As when using Save option

    We would like to deploy Reader XI with Protected Mode enabled. We have noticed that when using the Save option the user receives a prompt to Save As instead. I understand this is a security feature to basically grant Reader/Acrobat permission to save to this location.
    Issue is that we have in house software that opens the PDF using Reader allowing the user to make markups and then save, but if the user saves the file to a different location this will cause the in house software to fail. Older version of Reader with Protected Mode disabled allows just the save to be used and the original file location to be preserved.
    Is there anyway to white list this Directory so that Reader can save to it without a Save As prompt?
    Only fix I know of currently is to disable Protected Mode but we would like to avoid that if possible
    Thanks

    There is a notation in the documentation that may be relevant.
    "Permissions granted by other features often overlap. For example, cross domain policies, internet access settings in Trust Manager, and certificate trust settings for certified documents sometimes interact so that the most permissive setting takes precedence. Users should TEST THEIR CONFIGURATION prior to deployment."
    Have you checked the possible overlapping features?
