Modify function palette quickly?

[Nikko]

Hi, everyone

I got a boring question when I modifying the function palette.

Now I'm developing an instrument driver with LabVIEW7.0.

I have an old version of its driver, so only I need to do is to update it, as the function palette.

For example, the prefix of the old version driver is xyz2000, this time I should change it to xyz1000.

But when I change the folder name to xyz1000(originally is xyz2000) and open the old version driver with LabVIEW,

the function palette is full of [?]icon.

Therefore I try to modify the following original xyz2000 mnu files with UE(text editor),

I simply think if I replace all the [xyz2000] to [xyz1000] is just ok, but I failed.

I got something like"memory is not enought" error.

acstat.mnu

applic.mnu

config.mnu

data.mnu

dir.mnu

util.mnu

Does everyone have some ideas how to modify the function palette quickly in my case?

Cause I think insert all the vis one by one again to function palette is a boring job ^o^, no easier way(just like modify the mnu file)?

Help me plz, thank you

Hi,

How do you insert those driver VIs?

Maybe you can try this way:

edit controls and function palleteset-->
insert--> subpalette--> link to directory

If any questions, please let me know.

This unfortunately doesn't apply to LV7.0, but there was a new feature in LV8.6 (it may have been in 8.5) for editing palettes much more quickly and easily. It was a VI-based set of functions for editing palettes. This would enable you to write a quick utility to manage your palette files and rename things more quickly and easily as you like.
