Find / Replace parameters and lost time

Status: Under Consideration Submitted by Member on 05-11-2012 11:20 AM 4 Comment

I have had severe problems in development, due to a high synergy between my lack of attention and CVI behavior in search/replace dialogs.

I am talking about the fact that Find/Replace parameters [namely search directories] are stored at REGISTRY level, so that they remain the same across different workspaces.

Having to work with different version of the same software product, I have found myself looking into the wrong sources, or even doing mass updates, due to the fact that different projects have identically named sources and includes, just in different directory trees, and rapidly switching from one workspace

to the next I didn't "mind the step"

My suggestion, thus, is to store find/replace parameters at workspace or project level, so as to avoid the aforementioned inconvenience

change TUI file format to xml (or create a new xui...)

Status: Under Consideration Submitted by Member on 03-05-2012 06:54 AM 6 Comment

I would like to have the possibility to store the uir-file not as a tui-file (old-fashioned ini file), instead as a xml file.

Single File Distribution

Status: Under Consideration Submitted by Active Participant on 03-07-2011 12:22 AM 2 Comment

 Hi

 

It would be nice for the distribution to be in one installer able file.

Which i could then send to a customer.

Find in multiple files: add "Mark source files in project" option

Status: Under Consideration Submitted by Active Participant on 05-22-2012 08:16 AM 1 Comment

I usually add a lot of files to my project (images, documents, ...) because in this way their path is taken as a relative path when building a distribution kit.

But in this way, if I press "Mark files in project" all the files are marked to search in, and so CVI gets a lot of errors for the files that can't be opened because they are not text files.

Using "Mark all c" and "Mark all h" extends the research also inside CVI installation directory, and (usually) this is not what I want.

 

I propose to replace "Mark files in project" with "Mark source files in project" or to add this last option to the existing ones.

Add a library function that can retrieve version information about an executable/DLL file.

Status: Under Consideration Submitted by Active Participant on 01-10-2011 09:00 AM 1 Comment

It would be nice if there was a library function to retrieve version information about an executable or DLL file.  I know this can be done through the SDK, but it's somewhat inconvienent.

 

Along the same lines, it would be nice if there was a library function to retrieve the version information about the currently running process.  (this would be great for making "About" panels in programs)

Setting Active Distribution via ActiveX

Status: Under Consideration Submitted by Active Participant on 10-09-2013 04:05 PM 1 Comment

Hi,

 

It would be handy when automating the build process with the CVI ActiveX interface to have the ability to change the active distribution, as mentioned in this thread:

Thanks.
