Hi Quick Drop Enthusiasts,
Summary
The attached vi can be used for publishing quickdrop shortcuts from a file across all LabVIEW versions installed.
It searches for LabVIEW (2010-2015)\LabVIEW.ini files, reads quickdrop relevant keys from a file (LabVIEW.ini or custom configuration file) and writes (overwrites existing keys) them to all found LabVIEW.ini files.
Motivation
I have to manage programs from multiple LabVIEW versions on different machines and don't want to do it without my personal quickdrop shortcuts. Hence i created this program and a central quickdrop.ini which is accessible over a network drive. So i can easily gain fast access to my quickdrop shortcuts everywhere.
Limitations / Todos / Ideas
- overwrites existing keys
- it adds the "QuickDropKeyboardShortcutMappings"-key but doesn't move quickdrop plugins
- it doesn't move the "QuickDrop Templates Palette.mnu"
- just tested with 2013_32Bit, 2014_32Bit, 2014_64Bit, 2015_32Bit, 2015_64Bit
- check all existing keys for unique values and add it to the central file (as mentioned from D* here)
- put the central quickdrop.ini to a webserver
- add more keys which are not necessarily related to the quickdrop function
I will appreciate any suggestions for improving and debugging this small tool.
