UPDATE: These first few revisions are more or less broken. The first fully working version can be found here. 8 Years ago the first version of the XNode Manager was posted to the code repository, and it hasn't seen an update since 2009. Being a fan of XNodes, but knowing that the XNode Manager is pretty limiting because of its age, I set out to make a new version with similar functionality. I didn't spend too much time on it, and I don't think it replicates all the XNode Manager functionality, but it does have some major improvements. The XNode Manager had a blank XNode, and blank Abilities that it just made copies of. This is fine but then the abilities and XNode are quite old. There were many new Abilities added since version 8.2 and you can't add them using the XNode Manager. My XNode Editor reads your LabVIEW resource and populates the list of abilities to create from the ones that are possible to create. Then VI server is used to create the XNode, State control, and Abilities. This sets up the connector pane like it should and should work with all future versions of LabVIEW, until NI changes something that breaks it. Be aware this uses several private functions, and several undocumented features that could be potentially bad. I did a decent test to make sure memory leaks weren't a problem and I made several XNodes and Abilities and it seems stable. But at the end of the day if it blows up and crashes, don't be surprised, you've been warned. Saved in 2013, but could probably back save earlier if requested. If I get more time I'll add some features, and add it to the Code Repository. XNode Editor.zip

Yeah it can be a bit of a hike. You can look into sharing a cab? Or those Pedi-cabs might be out by then, better tip them well cause it is up hill.
