Possible Bug with LV2018 Icon Editor - please attempt to replicate

[szewczak]

I wanted to post a short video of my Icon tool behaving oddly, to find if this is unique behavior on my system. Please see the Video Below (hard link https://youtu.be/3MYSYFRrWHc)

Any action in the 'layers' tab of the icon editor (such as cut/copy or even SELECTING with marquee tool) causes the view to 'snap' back to the Icon text tab.

Can you replicate this behavior on your end?

This is a known issue that we are planning on fixing in a patch to 2018 soon.

Great Darren, please feel free to remove this post.

Just Leaving a message for the search archive, LabVIEW2018 F1 fixed this issue for me.

692509	The Icon Editor automatically returns to the Icon Text tab whenever the icon image is modified.

Thanks for posting the confirmation of the bug fix here.

Darren,

The new editor is... faster? feels much less like Photoshop -> in a VM.

Do you know if the hotkeys for the Editor were always there or if they are a new thing?

Spoiler

press f to flip the icon (just "f" not CTRL+f)

There are across-the-board performance improvements in LabVIEW 2018 which affect G-based features like the Icon Editor. We didn't make any intentional performance improvements in the Icon Editor code, to my knowledge.

I don't know when the 'f' shortcut was added, but I'm pretty sure it pre-dates LabVIEW 2018.
