Palette import/export tool

Status: New

Setting up LV2010 today, it struck me how nice it would be to not have to spend time dealing with the clunky visibility/option dialog/palette file hacks necessary to get back to the environment that I like.

 

How about a built in import and export tool for palette settings?

 

If I were interested in, say, customer engagement and seeing what users actually do with their palettes, I might even add web-based cloud hosting, so users can upload and download their own palettes wherever they are.

I just copy and paste my LabVIEW.ini file.  That takes care of proabably 95% of my settings.  See the wiki for some more details

Some options are in the ini.  Custom palettes on WinXP are in Documents and Settings\<user account>\My Documents\LabVIEW Data\<LV version>\Palettes\menus...  I expect Win7, Linux, etc are all different.

 

Design fragmentation of the palettes has been painful over the years.
