Not sure what is going on but in a nutshell, I can't rename some VIs in a project permanently. By this I mean that I can transiently rename them, but they eventually revert to their original name. Let's start with a snapshot of the project content: Notice the selected VI. It has a small "s" variable name in it. I'd like it to be capital S like all other VIs. Also take a look at the VI called J(S, ) PDF.vi below it. The letter is capital S. Now I right-click the selected VI and chose: Rename I get an Explorer dialog window where I change the name to "J(S, ) Normalization Factor [Sum].vi" and after the following warning dialog: I press OK and contemplate with satisfaction the new project explorer window: Amazing feats of modern technology! But wait! What about J(s, ) PDF.vi? Why has it switched to a small "s"? After almost 20 years of LV, I have stopped asking questions like this, so I just go ahead and am about to rename it to J(S, ) PDF.vi...but hold on a second... What the???? Here is my Project Explorer window: The Normalization VI has reverted its name to small "s"!!! I have tried everything, there is no way I can rename those VIs from the Project Explorer. For what this is worth, PDF is a subVI of Normalization. But why would it matter?

Project Explorer "Rename" bug (or feature?)

Author

Is there any Mac user who can confirm that this DOES NOT happen on their platform?

And BTW, I am using Windows XP, so I suppose that the happy users of Windows 8.1 or whatever is out there should not have this problem, right? Right? RIGHT????
