Polymorphic icon editor - reverts back to old editor

Solved!
Go to solution

LabVIEW 2010 SP1

 

I have a set of polymorphic VIs that I have in a Instrument Library Project in the Public Folder.

 

When I try to edit the icon and select a Glyph to drag into the icon field LabVIEW reverts to the old editor!

 

This is really slowing down my productivity.  Is there a way to fix this?

 

This also happens to non-polymorphic VIs Icon Editor.

Hmm I just checked this post out and it seems like somehow my folder got set to Read Only - but even as an Admin I can't change it to not read only...time to call IT.

Closing LabVIEW and starting again removed the issue - even though I still can't change the folder access option from Read Only.

Would you be able to send a screen shot of the issue?

I can't now as it was fixed by restarting LabVIEW and it would be pretty hard even if it wasn't fixed.  One minute I had the new icon editor, then as soon as I tried to perform any action in the new editor it would switch to the old icon editor.
