Expand config.lvlib: get path of config file from config reference

Or rather, expand the functionality of the "Refnum to Path" primitive.

 

I just tried to wire this primitive to a Config File Ref, and it does not create a broken wire, it always seems to return <Not a Path>. This could be an issue that needs to be addressed separately (?).

@ AQ: The "Refnum to Path" results in a broken wire when connecting a TDMS refnum

What is the CAR database and where can I read about CAR#235635?

I am changing the status from Completed to Declined because Completed should only be ideas that R&D see on Idea Exchange, actively developed on it based on the idea here, and it was added to the product.

Marc, 

 

The CAR database is NI's internal tool that keeps track of bugs reported by customers so we can actively work on them. Unfortunately there isn't an external facing way for you to check up on it's status. The readme file that comes out with each new product release will have a list of CARs (Corrective Action Request) that was fixed in that release and this is the best way to determine when the bug is fixed. While your idea definitely points out an issue with LabVIEW, a CAR is the more appropriate action for us to take on this.

Hello,

 

I have been assigned to adapt a LabVIEW 8.2 application to LabVIEW 2011.

The 8.2 application uses "Config Data Get File Path.vi", that is included in the 8.2 "config.llb" library.

In the 2011 "config.llb", it is no longer available, so the application does not work in LabVIEW 2011.

 I have seen that there is a "Get File Path.vi" that seems to do the job, but it also seems to be available only from within the library.

 

Can anybody please help me find a solution to this problem?

 

Regards,

Leif
