How to make Nattify Error text fix work for me?

[Mark_L]

Nattify partially works for me.  Can someone help me with this?

The text "error in (no error)" remains the same.  

Since probes are not allowed, I put in a pop-up window to help debugging.

For my simple program there are 12 iterations with the Label.Text always empty.

Example here.

Thus, the False (or Found text) case is never called.

So, I can surmise Nattify.vi is running correctly for most of the operations.  But for the Error text modifications it is not.  

I believe I loaded the files in the right location.

I am using LabVIEW 2019 SP1, version 19.0.1f1 (32-bit)

Sounds like you have a default 4 2 2 4 connector pane that is unwired. We only need to nattify wired controls and indicators limiting the worst case search to 24 iterations per vi.  Simply, the (no error) portion of the text is most offensively obnoxious in the help window and the nattify vi is sometimes applied to a deeply nested hierarchy so, why search through every one of the FP objects when the subset of con pane objects is so much faster?

Thank you Jay.

Yes you are correct.  For this simple test I did not connect the terminals.  Works great when I do.

So I didn't know what "Nattify" meant.  I guessed it had something to do with Darren Nattinger, and probably with Quick Drop (which was "tagged" on your post, along with Nattify).  Unfortunately, the Tags only find things in the Forum, so following Nattify led me right back to this post, and trying the Quick Drop tag only added one other (irrelevant) post.

Fortunately, Google found "Nattify", and the nifty Quick Drop procedure developed by You-Know-Who to do all sorts of cleanup on your VIs.  May I suggest that this is a useful enough, but possibly obscure enough, topic that adding a sentence or two for Newbies (or even some of us Oldbies who, to our shock and amazement, don't really "know everything") could be a useful teaching/training resource.

Well done on using Google for a forums search.  Google search does not find things on ni.com well ever since the move to the green website (at least for me).  It could be Google or the website itself, I don't know.

To find Nattify one has to search for "nattify" specifically or one will get many native French results that do not apply.

Am I the only one that read the hyper link text shown in the picture and figured out the context?

Admittedly, my initial thought when reading the title was related to the Natt Sequence.  I quickly figured out the OP was referring to the QuickDrop plugin that I am aware of, just don't use (it does too many things I don't like).
