I made a suggestion for this on the Idea Exchange to give more font control over listboxes and tables. If you want this you should go vote there.

As topics about LabVIEW NXG are going to start growing more and more numerous, it would be nice to have a proper folder to put them. Could an admin create a dedicated folder or category where it would make the most sense (at their discretion)?

I use MAX as much as I can. I try to not reinvent the wheel unless there are limitations that I really need to work around, and MAX just does so much that I try to avoid custom things. I'll still incorporate MAX in my application, by doing things like calling test panels to hardware to open, or creating and editing channels, tasks, and scales using a VI I posted here. But as for the tasks and how they work in applications. I'll usually make the tasks in MAX and test them there, then perform an export into an NCE file which can go along with the source code which explains how the channels are all setup. Then in application builder, you can specify this NCE file to be imported when the installer runs. I do however remember some issues with editing tasks that have already been opened. Like I remember having my software opening it, and then trying to edit the scale of a channel and having issues where the new scale wouldn't be applied until I closed and reopened my software. I must not have been stopping or closing all of the references to the scale, or channel using the scale and that might not be a real limitation of DAQmx but something to look out for. I've had no experience with INIs or XML as a result.
