Frustrations of glyph of the Icon Editor

• Partial cure for the problem of model Icon Editor

  I'm driven crazy by models Icon Editor behavior (which I love and use all the time).  What happens is I'll open a project, start to make icons with my set of templates (all saved in LabVIEW Data\Icon Templates\VI\BS icons) and especially if I've included copies of screws that have been developed, say, two years ago and copied from another file on the disk, will notice two copies of the model , with the second copy often in... part \VI\3rd.  Now, these are clearly my models, just saved in the "wrong" place.

  Get rid of these models in doubles was very difficult - I just spent half an hour doing it.  You delete all the files in the 3rd part, open the icon editor and see only one copy, then start doing things and Bingo!, the model appears in the model list in the Icon Editor, but also the file reappears in the 3rd party folder.  What should do?

  So I did a search on the Web, found a fool named "Bob Schor", which has asked about it in 2011 (on this Forum, of all places!), got a few suggestions, but does not solve the problem.  So I tried something else.

  I noticed that there is a lot of. BIN files stored in the model icon folders, with file names that appear to reference different versions of LabVIEW (e.g. Templates.15.0f2.bin).  On a lark, I deleted this file, deleted the folder of 3rd party model, LabVIEW has reopened, reopened the icon editor, and (he said, I hope) the problem seems to be solved.  There is no more 3rd-party file appearing in the model list, icons are not really, it can't be, maybe if I killed the evil Dragon.  I'll let it rest for a week and if it still seems to work, will return and mark this as a 'Solution '.  Comments and other ideas welcome.

  Bob Schor

  Is there a step I missed, but just found.  In the icon editor itself, there is a setting to know where (by default) record the models he finds inside a VI already, but are not in the calibre of icon file.  This setting is under Tools, icon editor properties.  In the 'Model' category, you should disable "Save third icon templates" which, like a default value of \Icon Templates\3rd, part.

  I am currently testing (on several machines, all configured slightly differently), these ideas and so far it seems to work.  I had a small panic today when the '3rd party folder' with additional copies of some of my models began to appear that I opened the existing screws, but turning the switch "Record the icon of third-party models" seemed to solve this problem.  I'm almost ready to mark this (and earlier versions) post as a Solution...

• icon editor sneaks to the 2nd monitor

  A Windows XP installation with main monitor in portrait and secondary as the orientation is landscape.

  But in LabVIEW 2009, the icon editor always appears on the 2nd screen.  Most of the

  time as my 2nd monitor is turned off, but fortunately, I turned on the 2nd just discovered this behavior.

  Is there a configuration to ini file for the icon editor always appear on the main screen?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi odd_modem,

• Synchronize with the icon library

  I'm trying to use this feature of LV9 icon editor; the download seems to work (progress bar lights), but then I get this error to decompress:

  Error 42 occurred at NI_Unzip.lvlib: Open unzip File.vi

  Possible reasons:

  Error opening the zip file.

  «"" "String of full appeal:»»"»
  NI_Unzip.lvlib: Open unzip File.vi
  NI_Unzip.lvlib:unzip.VI
  Download iconlibrary files.vi
  NI.com_iconlibrary.VI

  I applied the patch in http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-6301 , but it did not help.

  Can I manually unzip the library? but where?

  you are actually right.

  That's what I did to add an icon I created myself with Windows Paint:

  go to Icon Editor in LabVIEW and click on tools--> list of glyphs and the models of the icon.

  After clicking on this menu, a web page opens.

  In this web page are listed all the icons present on your PC with their absolute path.

  In my case (Windows XP), the icons are found in these paths:

  C:\Documents and Settings\WINDOWS_USERNAME\My Documents\LabVIEW Data\Glyphs\...

  C:\Documents and Settings\WINDOWS_USERNAME\My Documents\LabVIEW Data\Icon Templates\

  where WINDOWS_USERNAME is my Windows account name.

  I then copied the. PNG created with Windows Paint in one of this subfolder in the folder... \Glyphs\.

  Loading the editor icons once again, I was able to find the icon created.

  now, if you put the download of files on our website in that directory, you should be able to find them in the Icon Editor.

  Let me know if it works for you.

  Best regards

• Location of the icon library XML file?

  My installed version of LabVIEW 2015, full, SP1, does not glyphs/icons available, so I am trying to download the required files.  I downloaded the zip file with success, but when I try to download the XML file, the link takes me to a page containing the raw code.  When I copy, paste and save this code in an XML file, I get an error when I try to sync manually.  Automatic synchronization will fail also.

  Here's the location of the xml file that does not work after being cut and pasted: http://www.ni.com/swf/iconlib/icons_filtered.xml

  Anyone know where I can find an XML file that will work?

  Of course, if there is a better way to get my glyphs work, let me know.

  Thank you.

  So a number of things might happen.  This computer has multiple users?  Glyphs are installed for the user who installed LabVIEW, but nobody else.  If you don't like this design, you should go vote for this idea.

  http://forums.NI.com/T5/LabVIEW-idea-Exchange/shared-icon-editor-glyphs-directory/Idi-p/3253351

  With respect to the glyph broken, updated tool, I have no idea.  The stupid thing just never worked for me.  OR even a standalone program once for the update of glyphs and it doesn't seem to work or else the other.  To help with this, I have attached my glyphs and you can simply copy and past in your \LabVIEW Data\Glphys folder.  In addition to those that come with LabVIEW 2015 I also added a Hooovahh folder with many a library open icons and a few I did.  After copying restart them LabVIEW and open the icon editor, then wait a few seconds while it lists the directory of icons.

  Given the time, I bet that someone could make a tool that synchronizes correctly, download and install the icons correctly, especially since I think that most of the icon editor is open source.

• Icon editor crash

  I'm using LabVIEW 2015 64-bit. Whenever I double click on an icon to edit the icon editor flashes for a moment, then seems to crash and is replaced by former editor icons years ago. Everything else seems to work very well.

  I've updated my version of LabVIEW yesterday to see if that fixed it, but it still happens.

  Does anyone know why does not the icon editor, or how can I make it work?

  Have you installed or removed something? Whatever this is updated? Unexplained crash (BSOD)?

  Have you tried repairing your installation of LabVIEW?

• Icon editor - colors

  Hi all

  Why the colors are used in the icon editor not always those included in the Subvi icon?

  This problem seems to occur mainly for light colors.

  Look at the example below:

  The color (in the icon editor) is not the same as the color of the icon of VI.

  Is this a bug or an expected behavior?

  

  This seems to be indicated in the icon editor dialog box help.

• Extremely slow LabVIEW 2010 icon editor

  Working on a project of medium size in LabVIEW 2010.  Out of the blue icon editor is slowing down.  So slow that type in a character of text takes 20 seconds.  After closing, the editor he is about 3 to 5 second rule on everything that I do in LabVIEW.

  LabVIEW games restart things back to normal, until I open the icon editor.  No results of Subvi opening in this problem.  And this happens in any project or even if no project is open, and I'm trying to change the icon in a Subvi Untitled 1.

  Anyone else seen this behavior.  I really want to re - install LabVIEW 2010.

  Thank you

  I've not seen this behavior, and I really have no idea what could be the problem. As a solution, we can 'turn off' icon editor and force LabVIEW to use the old classic that is causing the problem to go, in my opinion. To do this, rename the following lv_icon.bak:

  [2010]\resource\plugins\lv_icon.vi LabVIEW

  This will completely ignore the code from the editor of icon and go directly to the editor of classic icons. You will lose a lot of the new functionality of the icon editor, but I'm guessing that this will make the downturn go away.

• Tab missing in icon editor

  I'm sure I'm missing a tab in my icon editor...

  Can someone tell me where my lack of tab (forgot the name of it) has been done?

  

  Furthermore, I can not synchronize with the icon library OR.

  The problems occurred today for the first time. After that, I tried to synchronize with the icon library OR... So I guess it must be bound so of...

  Any thoughts?

  Just to be clear... I have no debug information since the icon editor does not give me any

  It you are missing click tab layers layers--> page of layers.

• reduce the size of the icons

  When you use icon editor, all of a sudden the font size grew so great that I can't type what whatsoever in the container box.  Is it possible to reduce the font size to a desirable level?

  Double-click the text tool in the palette of the icon editor, and then select the following fonts:

  Police: "small fonts".

  size: 10

  align: left

  .. Press OK.

  See if that helps. Good luck!

• Polymorphic icon editor - returns to the old editor

  LabVIEW 2010 SP1

  I have a set of polymorphic screws I have in a library of Instrument project into the Public folder.

  When I try to change the icon, then select a glyph to slide in the LabVIEW icon field returns to the old editor!

  It's really slow my productivity.  Is there a way to fix this?

  This also happens to the non-polymorphic screw Icon Editor.

  Close LabVIEW and begins again deleted the question - even if I can't always change the option of read-only folder.

• LabVIEW2009: How to replace the new Icon Editor with old?

  Ladies and gentlemen,

  I really don't like the new icon introduced in LabVIEW 2009 Editor:

  It was tried to "Photoshop shipped" with a lot of features:

  

  But I don't like it really, because:

  -It has opened EVERY time on the RIGHT monitor (I have three monitors and main monitor in the middle)

  -It takes a lot of time to launch (former editor of icon start momentally)

  d ' usability point of view - it was wrong to place tools on the right side. Often, they are on the left side (and only in the old icons, but also in imageprocessing Editor software like Adobe Photoshop). Also front of interface design user Panel... hmmm... This can be better...

  -some bugs or modified features (for example - KING to select, then press the button - nothing happened)

  etc...

  Is it possible to replace it with an old man:

  

  Ideal solution will be - switch just between two editors (some features introduced are not so bad).

  Thanks in advance,

  Andrey.

  Go to \Resource\Plugins and rename lv_icon.vi. It is a plugin that is called when you call icon editor, and if it isn't there, LV is the Editor (at least for now. I don't know how many versions to come, they will keep the code).

  Note that the editor is open source, so you can enter and change what you want (or save you time and use the changes others did, as the thread of PJM here. You can also watch other discussions in this group).

• LV 2009 Icon Editor turned to the previous Version

  Hello!

  I want to ask you if someone has experience strange behavior of "ICON EDITOR". When I opened my editor-in-Chief, it showed up about a half second or so away and violllllla! the former editor-in-Chief came. Really strange because I just used it earlier today... If anyone knows how to bring it back please please post the "how-to".

  Thanks in advance!

  Check the LabVIEW data folder in 'My Documents'. If it is set to read-only, icon editor does not work.

  Usually, it's a sign for him, when the editor of icons appears for a brief moment.

  IE is open source. If the LabVIEW data folder is not write protected, go to lv_icon.vi of 2009\resource\plugins\ of LabVIEW and check if IE is executable at all.

  Thank you
