VI Properties "Documentation" under Windows Explorer?

Is there any way to view a VI's Documentation property while browsing a folder of vi's for re-use from an OLD project, say in Windows Explorer?

The attached zip file contains a tool that I created a couple of years ago to perform our upgrade from LV 7.0 to 8.6.
The tool uses the right click context menu to view or update the VI documentation, check the version of a VI, and perform other various file functions. (Open VIs & text files, run VI Analyzer, 'touch any file (update date time) etc...)
The Top Level VI has almost no code. The guts are inside and XControl, which uses VI Server functions.
If you turn on context help (Control-H) from the top level VI, you can see the VI documentation for a VI without opening it.
This code is in LabVIEW 8.6. It was a fun project, and has a few things that could be cleaned up or done better, but the code had a limited purpose.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

TS1363 Just upgraded to iTunes 11.1.4.62 now my device (iPhone5) won't sync but shows up under Windows Explorer.

Just upgraded to iTunes 11.1.4.62 now my device (iPhone5) won't sync but shows up under Windows Explorer. When I plug the phone in it asks if I want to trust the computer. I say yes but it hasn't asked me that since the very first time I received the phone.

This resolved my issue.
Thank you for the suggestion. This worked for me. No more trust this computer messages and itunes now recognizes my ios7 iphone.
Reinstalling the usb driver in win7 by going to device mgr/ portable devices and then directing the computer to search the apple folder ...

Outlook 2010 - Data File Properties/Folder Size verses Windows Explorer pst file size

I am running Outlook 2010 32bit Version 14.0.6129.5000 on a Windows PC running Windows 7 Professional. All updates from MS are up to date.
I have several pst files I open with Outlook 2010. The size of the files displayed in Outlook are very different than what is displayed in Windows Explorer.
For example one of the pst file called "business.pst" when opened Outlook displays it under "Data File Properties -> Folder Size" that the Total Size (including subfolders) is 764,354 KB. Windows Explorer says
the file size is 1,190,417 KB.
For some reason MS Outlook 2010 is displaying the wrong folder size. Any ideas why this is the case?
Thanks,
Pat

Outlook mailbox grows as you create and receive items. When you delete items, the size of the Outlook Data File (.pst and .ost) file might not decrease in proportion to the data that you deleted, untill it has been compacted.
Normally, after you have deleted items from an Outlook Data File (.pst), the file will be automatically compacted in the background when you’re not using your computer and Outlook is running.
For an exception, when the Outlook Data File (.pst) is somehow corrupt, the compaction might not finish correctly. So the size of the Outlook Data File (.pst) file might remain the same before compaction.
To solve this, try run the
scanpst to fix the Outlook Data File (.pst) file first, after that, we can
manually start the compact command.
When finished, compare the file size again.

Photoshop cs6 could not save as .psd because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file

Have three users with CS6 Design Standard having problem saving files to a network share. All three are running Windows 7 SP1. CS 6 has all current updates applied. Have searched google for solution but all suggestions so far have not solved problem.
Have confirmed that windows explorer preview pane is not enabled/turned off. Other users on the network have no problems saving file to shared folder. Users can save to desktop and then copy and paste or drag and drop to the share!

Further Google searching found this bit of information....and it fixed our problem!
Rather than deleting the files I renamed them as follows Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs_old & Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs_old
To fix and prevent this error from happening, the user will navigate to:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings
Depending on what version of photoshop is causing the error to appear you will delete the following file:
Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp (for 32bit version)
Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs.psp (for 64bit version)

COMPLAIN TO APPLE ABOUT USE OF SITES UNDER WINDOWS/EXPLORER

I filed the following complaint to Apple. I liked Apple very much since I changed two years ago. But iWeb changes this perception drastically! Its site do not work under IE/Windows!!!
File under 'feedback' button at 'Support iWeb' site.
"Apple people, could you please have a look at the very many people including myself complaining about the fact that we all bought iWeb which performs beautifull on a Mac but DOES NOT perform if used through Internet Explorer/Windows?
I am seriously thinking to reclaim my money because Apple should already have taken care of this issue."

There is a general reluctance of PC users to upgrade version to version. I can't really blame them with all the security holes and the generally cobbled together and intertwined nature of PC software/hardware. My work still uses some version of IE 5, I think...and yes, it barfs on the original website in question. I'm constantly bothering my IT folks about upgrading and all I get is a definite maybe. Of course, work computers are for work and the IT department really do see every application update as potentially that last straw that brings the whole thing down.
Thankfully, someone with admin rights secretly installed the latest FireFox version for me on my workstation.

IPhone 4 with ios 5 no longer recognised in windows explorer

Just updated my iPhone 4 to ios5 last night. Since then I can't see my phone under windows explorer. It shows up fine in iTunes. So now I can't manage my pictures and videos.
I've tried it on 2 different windows machines, both XP.
Help please!

Just to double check here, are there photos in the Camera Roll? The only time the iPhone will show up in Windows Explorer is if there is content in the Camera Roll. If there is no content there it will not show up since there is no other file management that you can do from there. If there is content, try and reset the phone, will not do anything to data, by holding down the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. See if that helps.

IPhone not showing up in Windows Explorer

Hi,
My Environment is:
iTunes v9.0.2.25
iPhone 3G; OS v3.1.2
Windows Vista
When I connect my iPhone to my PC, I do not see the device under Windows Explorer nor in Device Manager. However, iTunes does pick up the iPhone and I can sync ok.
I have tried the following -
I have gone to Device Manager and uninstalled "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" from under "Universal Serial Bus Driver". I then disconnected the iPhone and reconnected, which then caused Windows to re-install the driver. However, it still does not appear under "Portal Devices" or "Imaging Devices" in Device Manager and it still does not appear under Windows Explorer.
I have also tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling, still no luck.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

I have had exactly the same problem with both my desktop with Windows 7 and my laptop with Business Vista since the latest iTunes upgrade two weeks or so ago. I think it must be an Apple error and I am not very willing to fiddle with my machine to correct it. I think Apple should tell what is going on and give us a fix. My iTunes is 9.1.0.79 and iPhone is 3.1.3
An all my photos are stick in the phone, which is a nuisance as I use it for work and I am having to email them all to myself.

Thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer (Windows 7 64bit)

Is there a way to enable thumbnail previews under Windows Explorer for Acrobat X Pro? I just installed the trial and these are missing.
I know there was a bug in Acrobat 9 which required a third party hack to fix. I had hoped by now this would work correctly. Has this still not been fixed?
Thanks.

Lol. Adobe has known about this stupid problem for about 4 years. Since Vista x64 started gaining popularity. Acrobat 8.x was the first version where people really started scratching their heads wondering why & when the problem would be fixed. Then came Acrobat 9. And now "X". Still not fixed, well, I'm sure next year we'll have Acrobat 11, so keep holding your breath.

How to format brand new HD under windows?

Hello. I have a mac pro intel which I can dual boot to windows XP SP2.
I just bought a new HD with the following specs:
Seagate Barracuda SATA2 750GB
and it is now located at bay 4 on my Mac Pro (bay 2 and 3 already have HFS disks).
I would like to have it NTFS formated, so I can work on it when I boot on windows.
The problem is that when I booted on windows it said it found a new hardware, disk drive, etc, but it does not show under windows explorer. That is understandable since it is unformated, but how do I do that if I can't see the drive?
Thank you for your help,
Cassiano

Use Windows management. If you do use Apple Disk Utility and want NTFS, then
DU Partition... look for "Options..." at the bottom where you can change it from GPL(GUID) to Master Boot Record. That way you can even format and write to it with MacFUSE 3G. I could only create FAT partition with GUID.
If you format it in DU as GPL/GUID you will see 200MB EFI at the head, and 128MB between partitions.
And to use it as a normal Windows disk, choose GPL to create partitions.

Showing the music properties of .M4A files in Windows Explorer

Dear All,
You probably noticed that Windows Vista does not provide much information or integration for Apple's .m4a music files.
Would you like to see the music file properties for .m4a files in the columns and details pane of Windows Explorer? Would you like to see the Album Artwork in Windows Explorer? Would you like Windows to provide indexing and searching on your .m4a music files?
If so, then I have written a "Shell Extension" (add in) for Microsoft Windows Vista Explorer that does just that. See http://www.whitebear.ch/music for more details.

Yeah, I've heard that too, but I'm not buying that excuse:
It's not MicroSoft's responsibility for making someone's thumbnails work. MS provides the documentation (I assume) for developers to write code for a DLL to display thumbnails in Windows Explorer. It's up to the developer to do it.
Other software programs which use a proprietary image format do supply those DLLs. Three examples that I use on my PC are:
    a. Corel's CorelDraw and PhotoPaint install the appropriate shell DLLs to display their native files as thumbnails.
    b. Xara also provides a 64-bit DLL which, when manually registered, displays their native file format as thumbnails.
    c. The open-source Paint.Net group registers the DLL to display their native format as thumbnails.
God knows that those three, and especially the Paint.Net group, don't have the hundreds of millions of dollars and hundreds of developers that Adobe does, yet those three chose to do the right thing and provide what I consider to be an essential feature.
Apparently this has been going on for a long time -- certainly long enough for Adobe to write the darned code, if only Adobe had the will to do it.
PSE9 is the only Adobe product I currently have purchased and this issue just sticks in my craw. Other than that, I've got nothing but praise for the program.

Why isn't ratings information set in lightroom showing up in windows explorer file properties?

I am using Lightroom 3.4 64 bit on Windows7 64 bit. When I apply keywords and set a rating in lightroom, only the keywords show up in the file properties in windows explorer, and FastStone viewer. The ratings information is not shown. Is this a known problem, or is there a way to fix it?

Hmm, are you remembering to do Metadata > Save Metadata To File after you change the rating in LR?
LR and Windows 7, Vista, and even XP (if you install Windows Live Photo Gallery) share metadata using industry-standard fields, and Windows' manipulation of the metadata is pretty robust. In particular, they'll share the rating via the metadata field XMP:Rating. I just verified this with LR 3.4 and Windows 7, but I'm pretty sure it also applies to earlier versions of LR 3:
1. In LR 3.4, change the rating of an image.
2. Metadata > Save Metadata To File
3. In Windows Explorer, right-click the image file and select Properties.
4. Observe the new rating on the Details tab.
5. Change the rating on the Details tab.
6. In LR, do Metadata > Read Metadata From File. Observe the new rating in LR.

DC not showing under "Network" in Windows Explorer of member server

Hello Community
    After spending an endless amount of time trying to create SharePoint Server farm
and seeing an error message stating that I could not connect to the master, I found
that that was not the problem at all.
    The farm has Windows 2008R2 Server dc (Server1) and Windows 2008 Server member server
(Server2).
    If I go into Windows Explorer and click "Network" on the Windows 2008R2 Server
dc (Server1) the Windows 2008 Server member server (Server2) is visible.
    But if I go to the Windows 2008 Server member server (Server2) and click "Network"
I do not see the Windows 2008R2 Server dc (Server1) it is not visible.
    I figured that since Server2 showed under "Network" I would be able to map a network
drive to Server2. But when I tried to map the network drive I got the following error
message:
    "\\Server2 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
     resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access
     permissions."
    However, after a waiting a looong time I was able to do the opposite by
mapping a network drive from Server2 from Server1.
    But that doesn't solve the problem because Server1 still doesn't show under
"Network" on Server2 which is what is needed. It only mapped to the C:\ drive on Server2,
which is what the server farm needs.
    I am admin on both servers.
    The firewall is off.
    Both servers are obviously in the same domain.
    How can I get Server1 to appear under "Network" on Server2?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Hi,
Based on my experience, if your computer is connected to a network, you can see all of the computers and devices that are currently part of the network in the Network
folder.
Please make sure the DC and server2 are in the same network and network discovery setting is set to open on both of the computers.
In addition, did you have other member servers on the same network? If yes, can you see them list in the network folder on server2?
I also recommend you to ping the DC on server2 to make sure the connectivity between them.
Best regards,
Susie
