I think this is about time that we can have more than 256 colors in our VI icons.

I would really like to have support for 24 bit images so this nice icon does no longer become this:

In some cases the list of context menu items extends beyond the vertical screen height (for example when creating a property for a control). The only way to scroll up or down this list using the mouse is by hovering over the small arrows at the top and bottom (and quickly moving the mouse away to stop scrolling).

This idea is to enable mouse wheel scrolling on context menus where the list of items is scrollable (the scroll arrows are visible) and the mouse pointer is hovering over the list. This allows for precise scrolling with much fewer mouse movements.

I normally have 32x32 png images on disk and have to copy and paste them in (and that doesn't always work well and has been reported).

I think it would be cool and fast if I could just drag and drop an image into the Icon Editor from disk.

I would like this image to appear as the top-most User Layer or replace the currently selected image (as per mockup below).

Currently on waveform graph, once a plot is named it cannot be deleted (it can be made blank, but it still shows in all pull downs).  For instance I plot 3 graphs, each having 16 plots.  I then refresh data and plot only on graph of 11 plots.  My new plot names show in the top of the pull downs, but all the previous plot names still show up as well (see attached screen shots).

Please expose a method to remove plot names (property to give array of existing names and property to remove name or all names).

The title say it all.

The Build and Strip Path primitive should be able to operate on array of path and array of string.

I remember when I first discovered the "Show Item Paths" option in the "Project" menu. This is such a useful view, but for some reason we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg!

I propose that the project window be enhanced to support other useful VI properties too:

Among other things, this would allow us to very easily identify VIs (or controls, or libraries, ... ) with non-standard properties. (Have you ever revisited an old project and tried to figure out which VIs are reentrant, or inlined?)

What properties should be available?

• Ideally, this view would support ALL properties for ALL project items ( - at least those that have a compact text representation).
• If that proves impractical for some good technical reason then I'd suggest we at least get access to the Execution properties.
• It would be great if we could choose which columns to display from available item properties. These columns could then be toggled on/off (just like the existing "Paths" column):

An added bonus would be the ability to sort by any column:

• My preferred implementation would be to allow the user to click on any column name to toggle between ascending and descending view. (This type of thing has been suggested a few times for multicolumn listboxes...)
• On the other hand, I'd be happy enough if this worked the same as it currently does with "Paths", i.e. using the "Arrange By" option (>> Right-click on a parent item in the project and arrange the child items by Name, Type, Path, etc)

I think this would be a BIG step in the right direction towards leveraging the existing project interface to provide some REALLY useful information.

Add field witch shows the size of the array.

So simple but so helpful
