File Dialog Express VI should have more options in Configuration Window

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 8 kudos within 8 years after posting will be automatically declined.

In existing "File Dialog" Express VI- configuration Dialog we can specify what we want to select(File/Folder), wheather its new or existing File etc.

However for specifying File Pattern, Pattern Lable, Dialog name etc. we must connect constants from outside. it takes lot of space.

it would be great if those options can be configured from pop up.

What I would also suggest is to have the ability to choose for the browsefolderwindow

browsefolder

 

When having a path control with the option for select folder (new or existing)

I often get user comments about the unusual/unclear new (non-windows) button "select folder" on the bottom-right in the dialog.

Also the default available button just above the Cancel-button (impossible to hide) mentions "Save" while you are just browsing for a folder...

and when not entering a prompt it mentions Save as... in the title bar
