It sure would be nice if the representation of all numbers that will only be integers were all I32 (same as used for loop iteration, array index, etc.) It is annoying to me when I need to get a window size, a control width, a splitter position, an indicators bounds, etc. and then do some math with them only to find that one is I32, another is I16, then another is U32 ...... the result is lots of red coercion dots and sometimes wacky things can happen with the math if you don't...
When you use a case statement, the situation arises where in a particular case there is no need to pass an object to an outbound tunnel, while in other cases you do in fact want to pass an object out the tunnel. To keep Labview happy, you must either provide a bogus item to the tunnel, or you can set the tunnel to "Use Default if Unwired".
I *hate* "Use Default if Unwired" because once set, if you simply forget to wire a tunnel, you will not get an error indication telling...
More of a complaint than an idea. The Silver and system controls schemes looks really good but they are far too incomplete to use it in a GUI. I can't tell how many times I've started a UI with one style of controls then abandoned it because the mix and match look looks like hell. How much trouble would it be to create a new control (or create existing controls) in every style? It would certainly make NI/LabVIEW *look* better. And we should not have to rely on interest groups, either.
Current documentation http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/glang/max_and_min/ doesn't indicate how NaN is handeled. Please add this
(hint: if one input is NaN, the min/max value is the other. Not NaN).

For speed of development and ease of reading code I would like to add a contitional array build function. I use a build inside of a case structure where the true case appends on to the array and the false case does nothing, why even have the case structure to hide empty code and clutter up the block diagram, the could be easly grouped into a singel function (see below). I am for anything that cleans up block diagrams and speeds up coding.
I'm using LVOOP very often and the bigger the code gets the slower LV reacts / works. A small change in the class-control results in minutes of waiting with no feedback. In general it would be nice to get a message box telling me what labview is doing with specific information which file and how many files are in the queue to handle so I can decide to do sth else than watching the windows circle or killing labview using the taskmanager.
My suggestion to solve this is adding a verbose...
Currently I'm still using LV 2009 so I hope the suggestet feature is not already implemented in the current version of LV ;-)

I'm missing array functions for rotating and flipping 2D arrays. For images (NI-Vision toolkit) similar functions are available.
Of course I can program each function manually but low level functions would be really nice.
Let's make an example. The 3x3 input array is:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
transposing (the only function that is already implemented...
Did you ever want to add a password-protected VI to a library or use it independently from that library? You can't do that because the password protection of the VI also forbids you to change its membership in a library.Viewing/editing a VI and adding it to or remove it from a library are different things, however:Imagine the following situation:I prefer to organize my projects using lvlibs and lvclasses. Many third party libraries still come as llbs or even plain VIs. I'm not supposed to have...
It would be great to have a save for previous option in the source distribution build spec.
I have an API distribution that is written in 2011 and I have customers as far back as 8.5 which I would assume is a common occurrence (not everyone has SSP). The main reason I would like it in the build spec is that then I could include the output in an install that includes more then just the API distribution (I have an ActiveX EXE that is called by the Thin API distribution). ...
Hie,
For the functions like 'Concatenate Strings' or 'Build Array', when many inputs are unused, you have to remove them one by one with 'Remove Input'.
Perhaps it will be easier with a tool like 'Remove Unused Inputs'.
Best Regards.
