For those unsuspecting folks who like me are dropping files in a front panel-wide hidden path control to speed up file loading, pay attention to this nasty bug: #1811630 described at https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/documentation/bugs/22/labview-2021-sp1-known-issues.html LabVIEW Appends Extraneous NULL Character to Path When You Drag and Drop a File to a Path Control When you drag a file from the File Explorer to a Path control or constant, the value of the path will have an extraneous NULL character at the end. Workaround: Manually delete the extra character after completing the drag and drop. It just bit me... Reported Version: LabVIEW 2021 SP1 Resolved Version: N/A Added: Jan 26, 2022

What's kind of ironical (related to the first video above), is that the LabVIEW Chief (or whatever his official title now is), after a contrite mea culpa in which we indeed don't learn anything beyond the fact that they have decided to go from a semi-organized long term chaos to semi-chaotic short term organization model based on the lessons they have not understood... yet? learned from external consultants, announces that from now own they will listen to their customers. As you noted, in the second video, he perfectly demonstrates what listening means at NI, by having flash polls which he interrupts arbitrarily as people are still trying to understand what the multiple to the power 2 choice questions mean. It is probable that nothing is going to change in the way LabVIEW is developed, except for the TPS report cover sheets...
