[CR] Insert Type Conversion RCF Plugin

[huotom]

Huotom;

• Are you seeing this error as a result of installing a new plugin?
• Are you seeing this error when the RCF start?
• Did you say "yes" to the mass compile dialog?

When you start the option, please be patient (even more if you did not mass compile).

If this error is preventing from starting LabVIEW, then you can disable the autostart in the RCF ini file.

Go to: LabVIEW Root\resource\JKI\RCF and edit the "Right Click Framework.ini" such as this key says: Auto Start with LabVIEW=FALSE

Good luck.

PJM

Thanks for you reply.

Are you seeing this error as a result of installing a new plugin?

See followd images.

Are you seeing this error when the RCF start?

NO, I see this error after I click Cancel or OK at the RCF option as I mentioned.

Did you say "yes" to the mass compile dialog?

Yes.

I am sorry that I see my RCF plugs like Jstify Text and Wire Error Case Structure dos't work properly.

Hi François

Your RCF Plugin do not run with labview2009. There is few missing Vi's . The reason is that NI have modify config.llb between 8.61 and 2009, and remove few vi's in it . I send you a picture with differences . the better thing to do is to incorporate missing vi's inyour plugin.

Thanks for the tip Eric. I don't use LabVIEW 2009 just yet.

I've uploaded version 1.1.11 that should take care of this issue. I've tested it successfully on my system with the Evaluation version.

Nice tool, (why wasn't I using this before???)

However I got it to crash LabVIEW.

I had a cluster (A) that contained another cluster (B).

B is a typedef, and it is the input of a VI.

So I connected A into the VI, this was broken of course, I activated this tool and I got a 'beep', and then LabVIEW hang. just plain hang.

Using Alt-tab I saw a VI-window that looked like the wire that I had selected, but I couldn't activate that VI (I believe the wire selection color is a 'modal' VI. But all I could do was right click on the Windows task-bar and select 'close windows' then in a split-second LabVIEW was closed. After starting up I got a 'adfjosdiafjipf.cpp crash' , I didn't investigate, but maybe I should have written down what exactly crashed.

So this crash also uncovered a feature request. If the target element is a part of the source-cluster, insert a 'Unbundle by name' node.

Hi Ton,

I'm not sure I understand what happened to crash LV. Do you mean that the framework's semi-transparent selection superposition couldn't be closed (modal and in background)? If that's the case, I don't think I can do anything with my coding. That would be part of the framework itself.

Anyway, the Unbundle suggestion is great. I'll try to implement it once I find the source code for the plugin...

I seem to have develop that on a machine that I've since let go of. I hope I don't have to rebuild it from the vip file. (Well, if it comes to that, there are about twelve VIs to relink, so not a big problem).

I'll have this for the next release...

You know that mythical thing called SCC?

I'll have this for the next release...

Yes that looks really good!

Shame on me... I installed TortoiseSVN and never used it.

At least, I now use a Dropbox, which is my first baby step in the right direction.

[Francois Normandin]

It's online. v 1.2.0

[Antoine Chalons]

It's online. v 1.2.0

Here is the error I get when I drop it (v1.2.0.3) in VIPM 3.0.

Any idea why?

Hi Antoine,

You MUST have VIPM 2010. VIPM 2010 can now install packages anywhere on disk but it comes at the expense that packages built with 2010 and not readable with earlier versions. Once you move your package to 2010, can't go back.

The good news is that anybody can now build unlimited VIs in their packages with the community edition. Some goodies are reserved for Pro edition, but it's gonna open up to a lot of people.

Sorry, I guess I should have written this in the readme. (DONE)

I was suspecting this. I am about to upgrade VIPM, so that's fine.

Could we have a Singular to Array in type conversion?

A simple 'Build Array' will do.

[Francois Normandin]

Ton

Done. (see v 1.2.0.7)

With a bonus: mD Array to nD Array ==> insert Build Array when m < n & insert Index Array when m > n.
