Using save for previous option

I am trying to save a library written in labview 7 to labview 6.1 and am getting the error "Cannot save VI from VI.LIB to previous version". How do I get around this?

You don't need to.
The VI.LIB folder contains VIs that are part of the system.
LabVIEW 6.1 has its own VI.LIB folder with all those VIs in it, unless:
1... You have an add-on toolkit in 7 that you don't own in 6.1
OR
2... You put your own VIs into the VI.LIB folder (always a bad idea).

Photoshop CC2014: Can't use save for web option PLEASE HELP

Whenever I try and save a small animation as a gif (or anything in save ffor web) this happens http://prntscr.com/4gpseu This happened in CS6 I upgraded thinking it might fix it

As you can see from my screen capture I had no problem problem doing a 30 frame animation with Photoshop CC 2014. You screen capture looks strange. Your save for web screen capture shows frame 2 almost 8MP in size and all pixels are pinkish where the color map shows colors all a single gray for the animation no variation in color are all ??? You selected to only use 128 colors instead of the possible 256 and to do no transparency dither . Have you tried resetting your Photoshop preferences. I showed in my screen capture I was using CC 2014 had 30 frames in my frame animation. Showed what my Save for web looked like. Your Save For Web Capture looks very strange to me. Look at your's here then look a my screen capture. Even when I use the preset you chose GIF 128 No dither and a large image my save for web look nothing like your..

Labview 7.1 crashes windows XP when using VI's saved with the 'Save for Previous Version' option available in Labview 8

I am trying to work with a series of vi's developed in Labview 8 in Labview 7.1. The code was saved with the 'Save for Previous Version' option available in Labview 8. When trying to use the code in LV7.1 my entire Windows XP system locks up (cursor freezes). Are there any ideas what's going on and how to fix this?
Thanks for your help!
Mike

I have seen some problems with the save for previous option in the past. Instead of saving the entire hierarchy, try seperating the code into several different pieces and saving each piece individually. Then, see if you can open the different pieces in 7.1.
If that doesn't help, you should post some more details, like when exactly does it lock up, does it have things like DLL calls, and maybe attach the code.
Try to take over the world!

8.2.1 save for previous version

I have a few problems with Labview 8.2.1 "Save for Previous Version" for use with a computer with Labview 8.0.
1-Labview 8.0 does not see the VI (created by 8.2.1 that was saved for previous version 8.0) as an 8.0 VI.
it complains:
"The VI, last saved with LabVIEW 8.0, has been converted to version 8.0. After a VI has been saved with LabVIEW 8.0 it can only be loaded by LabVIEW 8.0 or later. Use Save for Previous Version... to save VIs for older versions of LabVIEW."
2-I can't Reset the History to zero. The history resets only down to 1.
3-Save for Previous Version will not save only the one VI specified, it saves a bunch of VIs. I have to pick out only the changed VIs and place them with the unchanged 8.0 VIs. Is there a way to just save a single changed file as 8.0?
Are these problems that were fixed in later versions of Labview, such as 8.5.1, 8.6 etc?

I will be forced to order fewer copies Labview 2010 upgrade. Less money for National Instruments.
You could use the included VM version of xp in windows 7 if you needed to, but it runs really horribly.
You could also keep a VMware image of XP on a computer.

Save for previous does not work

In LabVIEW 7, there is no possibility to save for a previous version. The reference to "Save with options" in file menu, given in Help, leads nowhere. I have also tried to save programmically, using method "Save for previous", but it did nothing (and did not say anything in the Warnings or Error).
What to do?

Can you be more specific? Save with options has six options listed on
the left side. The next to last in LV7 should allow for saving the
LV6.1. Really, you should just have to click that radio button and if
you aren't using any toolkits, you click save and choose a folder for LV
to place the VIs into -- it does this trying to avoid saving over the
originals. If you need the VIs for versions before 6.1, load into 6.1
and go furthe
r back into time. In general, each LV release will save
back to the previous major release.
Where in this sequence do you run into a problem?

How do I continue to save for previous version?

Hello. I am currently using LabView 9.0 32-bit, Windows 7. Unfortunately, my university uses Labview 8.6.1 32-bit, Windows Vista Business. First, I tried to open my VI's which I started at the University and modified on my machine back on a university machine. I received an error stating that the files were saved with a newer version of LabView and could not be opened. I went home, and opened the VI's again and used File > Save for Previous Version. This is okay, except it forces me to create a new destination folder. When I close LabView and open the VI's from this destination folder, they open up automatically with an asterisk to indicate the files have changed and require saving. Obviously this is automatically converting my 8.6 files to 9.0. This is very frustrating.
How can I force LabView to stick with the version that the files were created or saved as? If I attempt to save the "asterisked" files for previous version, it refuses to let me. Thank you for your time and consideration.

You must be doing something wrong, or perhaps Windows 7 is interfering. Here's the step-by-step process:
Launch LabVIEW 2009.
Open an 8.6 VI. It should show up with an asterisk in the title bar.
Make some changes.
Select File -> Save for Previous Version.
Verify that "8.6" is selected in the dropdown.
Click "Save...".
In the dialog click the "Save" button to accept the default of saving the VI into a new folder called "<VI Name> Folder".
Close the VI. When asked if you want to save changes click "Don't Save".
Check the timestamp on the newly created file in that folder.
Open the same 8.6 VI again.
Make some changes.
Select File -> Save for Previous Version.
Verify that "8.6" is selected in the dropdown.
Click "Save...".
The "File name" textbox should have the same default name as previously. If you click "Save" Windows should move you into that folder, and the save dialog should remain open. The file listing should contain the VI.
Click on the "Current Folder" button. You should get a dialog warning you that the operation will save over existing files. Click "OK" to continue. The VI will be saved as the previous version over the previous save that was done. To verify this, check the timestamp on the file.
I just did the above on LV2009 running under XP just so I could get the button names correct.
You can repeat steps 10-16 as many times as you want without needing to create a new folder.

PNG changing colors using save for web (CS2)

Im having a problem with making PNG pictures when using the "save for web" function (this also happens in Image ready)
I make an image in sRGB color space and chose "save for web" and set the settings, all looks fine and i save it as png8 or png24.
Then when i view it in a browser the colors af "off" (desaturated) ??
But if i chose "Save as" in Photoshop, and chose png, and save it that way, the color macth up and looks allright.
What im a doing wrong ??
I have made a test with to sets of colors / picture one with "websave" color and one without then save them "using save for web" in gif, jpg with profile, png8 and png24
The gif and jpg goes well but the png's colors goes "off"
I also saved the to files using "save as" and here the png's colors looks fine
(Ther are also some screendums of my color setting, "save for web" setting and my screen profile if that can be of anny help
http://home19.inet.tele.dk/jgom/pngtest/
Also! can anybody tell me this ?
When using "save as" i cant chose what png im saving as ? (8 or 24) What type of png dos PS use when you save it like that ???

Now I've read up on it, it seems the issue is indeed gamma.
(I really appreciate the "that's impossible, you must be doing something wrong" comments, by the way. Not "hmm, I don't know," but actually "what you've described in detail isn't happening; you're imagining things." Super helpful.)
Anyway the real question is: is there a way to stop Photoshop from including gamma data? It's apparently an optional portion of the PNG spec.
The whole gamma thing is unfortunate, but the *really* unfortunate bit is that Photoshop includes this information at all, particularly in a Save for Web context.
Most importantly, it seems this has been an issue for some time (Google "PNG Photoshop gamma"), and PNG is usually used for web, so why on Earth hasn't Adobe addressed this? Let's not forget that Photoshop is the industry-leading tool, and the Extended version costs $1000 by itself. The only options I've seen for saving as PNG in PS so far is sRGB conversion, bit depth, transparency, and interlacing. This whole gamma thing seems pretty unacceptable behavior, even by default.
I'm looking into pngcrush; does anyone have a simpler solution to strip the gamma information? Of course, if there's a way to do this in Photoshop itself, please please let me know.
Thanks.

Save for previous changes original source

I've been having a couple of issues in LabVIEW 2009 when I try to save for previous to v8.6. One problem is a message, after it starts cranking, that it could complete, there was a file area, either disk full (40GB left) or permissions. Then when I try and close the original project it asks if I want to save 124 vi's, as they were loaded from a previous version (8.6). When I did the save this morning in my hotel (I'm on the road, as usual) to my "thumb drive" it worked ok. The reason for all of this saving back and forth is that I have 8.6.1 at the customer's, only 8.5 and 2009 on my laptop.

Weird! Well I'll get around it by dragging around yet another laptop! Between that and the roughly 300 m from my desk to the lab, I'll work off some of the seasonal food results! Have made the round trip 8 times today, once when I hadn't copied a file to a shared drive accessible at the other end.

Save for previous version (8.6 to 8.5) including dependencies

Hello everyone,
Once again please forgive me if I use the wrong terminology as I am very new to Labview.
Here is what I am trying to do. I have a project written in Labview 8.6. It has a number of files and some dependencies (which include .lvlib's .lvlclass's and some .vi's). I need to save this project as a previous version (8.5) and send it downstairs to the lab. I've tried to save it as a previous version using the the project explorer: file->save for previous version. When I zip up the project folder and send it to the lab and try and run it on 8.5 it says there are missing files. Specifically:
NI_report.lvclass
NI_reportGenerationCore.lvlib
NI_HTML.lvclass
NI_StandardReport.lvclass
I am not creating an executable as they need to be able to make some minor changes to the code. Both computers have the full Labview development suite. Also there is no chance that the lab can simply upgrade to 8.6 from 8.5 as these upgrades are scheduled by another department.
Is there any way to save this project so that it includes the dependencies that are missing in the project folder? I'm sure there must be a simple solution but I can't seem to get it to work.
As always any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide. Also please feel free to tell me what I'm doing wrong as I'm keen to understand why what I'm trying to do isn't working.
Cheers,
Alex

Yes the toolkit is installed on the computer in the lab. I was able previously able to work on this project on either computer and only had problems once the upstairs computer was upgraded to Labview 8.6.

Save for web option greyed out?

hello.
i'm not too sure but after the last one/two updates from the cc, i have been unable to click on the save for web option as it is greyed out. i've read this (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5242626#5242626). i am slightly blurry on the solution being said there. however, i have fixed around the permissions (as said in the solution) but again, i'm not very sure if i have done anything significantly right because i still can't save anything for web (nor can i open .gif).
this is a screetshot of my user/library/preferences --> get info as well as the adobe save for web prefs. i've added 'admin' into the list and i've made it read & write. user had been read & write all along.
i have no idea what's the issue still. i'm using a mac on mountain lion.

Thanks! That was it. I am a bit rusty with PS.

Unknown Error when using save for web

When saving a gif using the "save for web" option in Photoshop CC 2014, I get a "Could not complete operation.An unknown error has occurred" message. I am using Mac 10.10.1. I tried deleting the "save for web" pref files but same error happens. Size of the file being saved (large or small) makes no difference. No problems saving files using "save as". Photoshop was uninstalled/reinstalled. Problem is still there.

I think the reason why this question is asked often is because the FAQ entry is pretty lame and incomplete, especially for Mac users that by default have a color managed browser and by default have a screwed up rendering mechanism for untagged images.
Depending on your version of Photoshop, you can convert to sRGB before or during the Save for Web operation.

You convert to sRGB for the systems that do not fully support color management.

You include the sRGB ICC profile for the systems that do support color management.
Doing both covers your bum in most situations. You may choose to omit the ICC profile if you are working on common interface graphics that do not require strict color management. The ICC profile adds a few kilobytes to the file size that are not necessary on lesser graphic elements on a web page.

Exporting an animation using save for web

I am trying to export my animation as a GIF using save for web but when I try saving it gives me an error message saying: "Could not complete this operation. an unknown error has occurred." I am using Photoshop CC 2014.

I am on windows 8, The document is a PSD of course. It's a app UI animation using mostly smart objects and a timeline for the animations. My save options were:
reduction algorithm: Selective
Dither algorithm: pattern
No transparency dither
Color: 128
Dither: (Blank)
Matte: (Blank)
Web snap: 0%
Preview: Monitor color
Metadata: Copyright and contact info
Percent: 100%
Quality: Bicubic smoother
Looping options: forever

Is the PNG generated by the "Save As" option the same as the png-24 from the "Save for Web" option?

It would speed up my workflow if I could go through the save for web option rather than the save as. Are these files the same?

No, SaveAs includes more metadata, while SaveForWeb makes the metadata optional.

Using "Save for Web & Devices" for a Organization Chart with Text

I created a document in CS3 Illustrator that is an Organization Chart. It contains rectangles, lines, and text. It looks great in Illustrator.
I have tried to save it using "Save for Web & Devices" to create a JPEG and a GIF so that I can pop it into a Dreamweaver document as an image and it keeps coming out blurry.
I have tried changing its size and resolution. I have tried opening and exporting it into Photoshop to try to "clean" it up. Nothing seems to be working.
I'm obviously unlettered in this modus operandi!
meem

Thanks for the response.
The background is transparent and will end up on a white background eventually.
I tried to make it clear in Dreamweaver by scaling it and it did seem to improve it somewhat. But it still doesn't look like the clear copy in Illustrator that I started with...
I also need to be able to embed this in a Word document to print for a hardcopy manual.
I had this same problem with Freehand a few years ago.
