Why can't I save via alias into LLB file?

On LabVIEW 7.1, OS X, Do this:
Create a new Blank VI.
Select SAVE AS, and create a new library (LLB), somewhere on your file system.
Save the VI into that library.
In the Finder, Find that LLB file, and make an alias to it.
Drag the alias to the desktop.
In LabVIEW, select FILE-OPEN.
In the dialog, navigate to the desktop, and select the alias.
Why do I get an error saying "An error occurred while listing the contents of xxxxxx", where "xxxxxx" is the alias itself?
Why doesn't it resolve the alias to its target?
I suspect this is a bug, unless there's some option I don't know about. I've tried "Use Native File Dialogs" - no difference.

Hi Matt.
I take it that "our" R&D group refers to NI ?
Here's an even easier case:
Create an alias to any existing LLB file, anywhere on your disk.
Put the alias anywhere.
Double-click the alias, and you get the expected behavior.
But use the OPEN dialog to choose the alias and it complains about an error listing the contents.

  • Why can't I save as my photoshop cs4 file to .png file? I don't see any option now?

    Hi,
    why can't I save as my photoshop cs4 file to .png file? I don't see any option for saving .png in Save As diolog box now? It was working fine until yesterday. Neither I can open a .png file nor save my psd file to png file?
    Please help. I am using Microsoft Window XP Professional and Photoshop CS4.

    In Photoshop CS4, .png open/save support was provided by a plug-in.  It is possible the plug-in has been deleted or moved, or has become unavailable to Photoshop because of a change in file protections.
    Do you have the file PNG.8BI on your system.  It should be here on a 32 bit Windows system:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats\PNG.8BI

  • Why can't I "Save as Text" a pdf file received as an email attachment?

    I can "Save as text" a pdf file which I have created in my own computer (that is, it goes into MS notebook that I then can Copy and Save as an MS Word file) but not when I receive a pdf as an email attachment. (The file is saved, but it is empty.) Why would I want to convert my own pdf back to text? Well, in case I no longer have the original Word document I suppose, but the thing is "Save as text" works with my pdf, but not with those I recieve from others. How come? Thanks!

    Is this a scanned PDF? If so, it must first be OCR'd.

  • Why can't I save text I've entered into a PDF file?  When I hit "Save As", only the PDF document is saved, but not the text i typed into the document.  I'm using Windows 8.

  • Why can't i save the same bookmarks in different locations?

    Why can't I save a bookmark for a particular site in multiple locations? If I already have it saved, for instance, in the bookmarks menu, and I then try to save an additional copy into the bookmarks folder, the copy in the bookmarks menu will disappear. This is incredibly frustrating. Thanks.

    Using the "star" at the right end of the Location bar, you can only save to one location.
    Using the Bookmark Sidebar (CTRL+B opens and closes the Bookmarks Sidebar), you can drag the icon at the left end of the Location Bar to other locations, one at a time, into a folder (will be placed at the bottom of the items already in the folder) or into any position, including a position within a folder. The image below demonstrates; the image is old, but the method still works. This is the only method that I use for Bookmarking, as I place some Bookmarks in multiple folders and I keep the Bookmarks Sidebar open most of the time for easier access.

  • In the new iphoto app, why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once?

    why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once? it seems i can only save one at a time and its very frustrating..
    the options seem to be there, they are just greyed out and i cant click on them.
    at first i thought its because the images were too big, so i tried it with smaller images but same thing.
    APPLE HELP!

    I can confirm @khaniff's original post the option in iPhoto for iOS is greyed out in conflict with the referenced article that follows:
    Save to the Camera Roll
    Tap a photo, album, or event and tap .
    Tap Camera Roll.
    Confirm or change the photos you want to share by tapping an option.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    To use your photo in another app, open the app and select the Camera Roll album.

  • Why can't I import old imovies into idvd?

    Why can't I import old imovies into idvd?

    I have 68 GB free and the movie is a small one. The iDVD file is on my hard drive and in the dock.
    Today I found a work around for this problem.  While I cannot open the original movie, I can access the clips in the media folder.  I put the clips together and made a new movie.   And I can import this to iDVD by going to "share" in the menu and selecting iDVD.

  • Why can't I download Canon S100 CR2 RAW files into PSE 10?

    I am using PSE 10 with a Canon S100 camera. I am successful in downloading all of my jpeg files and RAW CR2 files from my older Canon Rebel, but not with the Canon S100 CR2 Raw files.
    When first downloading from the Canon S100 camera into PSE 10 and later doing them manually, I receive the following messages:  Nothing imported...files are not supported file types or alread in catalog.  File damaged or in a format that cannot be included in the Elements Organizer.
    These problems files, by the way, were automatically added to my Window's My Pictures catalog and are perfectly fine.

    Thank you for the info. It worked great, once I was
    able to get around a second problem that prevented updating
    from within the PSE 10 application (error U41M1C212). That
    problem was solved by disabling the MS Virtual WiFi Miniport
    Adapter (located in the Network and Sharing Center control
    panel). It just goes to show me once again, how complex
    computer apps are and how much we all have to rely on each
    other to get anything to work properly (frustratingly
    enough, since the companies we paid good money to for
    their problematic software are not very helpful). Thanks
    again.

    Try opening a CR2 directly from a folder by right-clicking
    and choosing open with Photoshop Elements editor, if that
    dosent work, update the appliactaion (required for the

    In the Editor menu click Help >> Updates

  • I use firefox 9, why can not I save as image on google image?

    I use firefox 9, why can not I save as image on google image?

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Why can't i put my emails into folders

    why can't i put my emails into folders

    You must have an IMAP email accounts in order to create additional folders in the mail app on the iPad. There is now way to create folders locally like you can on a computer if you are using a POP email account.
    If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
    If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

  • Why can't i save contacts

    why can i not save contacts ??
    and on settings, 'mail,contacts and calendars' - i can not access this page ????

    When you zoom you're not chnaging the image at all, just looking at more closely, like using binoculars. Using binoculars doesn't actually bring the object closer. So with zooming. I think you might want to explore cropping.
