Where are MGI Panel Manager DQMH panels installed?

[littlesphaeroid]

Using VIPM, I have installed this toolkit extension (LV2023, DQMH 7.0 installed), but the MGI panel templates don't show up when attempting to create a new DQMH module. How can I validate if the templates were actually installed, and is there a way I can do this manually?

I see the module templates when I install the latest version of the MGI Panel Manager with DQMH:

You can verify they are installed by ensuring the following files exist on your system:

[LabVIEW Data]\DQMH Module Templates\MetaData\Cloneable Panel.xml

[LabVIEW Data]\DQMH Module Templates\MetaData\Singleton Panel.xml

[LabVIEW Data]\DQMH Module Templates\Source\MGI\Cloneable Panel\*

[LabVIEW Data]\DQMH Module Templates\Source\MGI\Singleton Panel\*

If you don't know where the LabVIEW Data folder is on your system, you can find out at Tools > Options > Paths > Default Data Directory.

Note that there were some issues with the MGI Panels not having been updated to be compatible with recent DQMH releases. I remember hearing there were some plans in the works to update them, but I don't know if that's happened yet. You may want to run the DQMH Validate Module tool on MGI Panel modules you create.

What version of DQMH and MGI Panel Manager are you using?

I have:

DQMH v7.0.1.1316

MGI Panel Manager v1.0.1.4

I'm unable to see the Singleton and Cloneable Panel options when I try to create a new DQMH Module. I previously had this working but after getting a new PC and reinstalling LV 2020 and these packages I don't see this option anymore. Potentially something to do with MGI Panels not working with this version of DQMH as you mentioned?

Did you verify the files are present on disk at the locations I described above? Did you verify that the Tools > Options location for [LabVIEW Data] matches those paths?

I don't know why, but only once I post something do I almost always solve my problem. Almost always caused by my own stupidity. I had installed MGI Panel Manager via VIPM, but never actually installed MGI Panel Manager - DQMH Panels.

Thank you for your help! Checking those file locations made me realize nothing was there and that something was clearly missing.
