Option to load Type pallets from the User defined Path

Status: Already Implemented

I consider this idea complete by the introduction of Environments in 2016:

https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/teststand/page/teststand-environments.html

Why restrict to load the type pallets always from <user or NI>…Components\TypePalettes folder?

 

It will be very helpful I can configure my path to the load my custom type pallets, this will resolve the issue handling different type Palettes for different customers / projects / sequences.

 

Or even better, if given the option to associate the type pallet to sequence files / sequence model. Just like Edit -> Sequence File Properties -> Model Option -> Require specific model.

It would be nice to be able to associate type files with a project, (at least to the level that associating the type file with the project made it so that types file loaded into the types palette when that project was open, and double-clicking on the types file opened it in the types editor instead of notepad).

 

I think that requiring specific types files to be loaded in memory to **EDIT** a sequence file could be beneficial towards preventing type viruses, but I do NOT think it is good to require them to be loaded to execute a file. (associating types files to a sequence file could definitely help with this)
