OpenG "File Locate in Project" tool v1.0 released


Jim Kring

Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

There is a new OpenG tool called "File Locate in Project" library (ogedit_file_locate_in_project) available. This package adds a File>>Locate in Project option to the LabVIEW menu. When you select this menu option from the menu of a VI's Front Panel or Block Diagram, the VI will be highlighted in the Project Explorer window.

See here for more info.

You can download+install this and other OpenG libraries using VI Package Manager.

Would be perfect if it had a keyboard shortcut.

Unfortunately, there is no way to assign a keyboard shortcut to a dynamically added menu-item (e.g., those menu options that appear because you add a menu-launch VI to the wizard, project, or help folder). I tried filing this as a bug during a beta, a while back, but it was rejected :( Maybe I should try re-submitting it as a feature request.

Sun of a gun. I just checked... You CAN assign a shortcut key. :thumbup:

I've assigned File>>Locate in Project... to Ctrl+Shift+E, which is not assigned to anything and is very similar in behavior to Ctrl+E for toggling between Front Panel and Block Diagram (when selected from a VI) and for toggling between Items view and Files view (when selected from the Project Explorer)

Hmmm... this shows up in LabVIEW.ini as the following:

CustomShortcuts=";APP_WIZARDS,Ctrl+Shift+E"

It appears that that the Custom Shortcuts is only available for the first item, alphabetically, in the wizard folder -- this is the "APP_WIZARDS" item. For example, I have a "Rename Folder of VIs..." option that is not even shown in the Custom Shortcuts dialog.

Yes, you are right. This must be one of the meanest pranks NI has played on us. :nono: "Hey look, I can assign shortcut keys"... "oh, wait, they're gone" HaHaHa, fooled ya suckas!

Yep, I found that out http://forums.lavag.org/Homing-a-front-panel-t8947.html&view=findpost&p=34914' target="_blank">just recently. :angry:

You may also notice that the "Open..." item in the menu shortcut selection list is where this "bug/feature" slipped in.
