Quick Drop Plugins location

[spaghetti_developer]

Hi ALL,

 

I've got some plugins for the quick drop built with LV2009. I used them many times. Now I'd like to used them on my labview 2010 and labview 2012 but I can't find the right location where to copy them! Where I have to copy them to be able to use them while I'm developing?

 

Thank you guys in advance!

If you want a single plugin (saved in 2009) to be available in all installed LabVIEWs on your system (2009 and later), you can put the plugin VI here:

 

[LabVIEW Data]Quick Drop Plugins

Oops, I just double-checked in the code. The [LabVIEW Data]Quick Drop Plugins location for shared plugins is supported in LabVIEW 2010 and later. If you're in LabVIEW 2009, you have to put your plugin in the [LabVIEW 2009]resource location.

Oops, I just double-checked in the code. The [LabVIEW Data]VI Analyzer Tests location for shared plugins is supported in LabVIEW 2010 and later. If you're in LabVIEW 2009, you have to put your plugin in the [LabVIEW 2009]resource location.

 

Clarification question:  The place to put shared QD plugins is [Labview Data]VI Analyzer Tests, not [Labview Data]Quick Drop Plugins, correct?  And since LV apparently does not create that folder by default we should create it ourself?

[Darren]

Argh! Force of habit giving that "VI Analyzer Tests" path, I guess. I've edited the post to refer to the "Quick Drop Plugins" location, and yes, you have to create it yourself.

With your original post not getting any questions I thought I wasn't understanding something that was perfectly clear to everyone else.  There's nothing quite as confidence-shattering as feeling like the dumbest person in the room.

You get used to it
