"dir.mnu warning" after editing the function palette

[MK_MTEngineer]

Hello everybody!

I´ve got a small problem, which is getting on my nerves! I created a new subfolder with vi´s in the function-palette (with the advanced palette tool)... after all i deleted it, because now i use other vi´s. So the problem is everytime i open a vi of my project which has something to do with the "signal processing palette", i got this warning that the "dir.mnu" has changed.

So far i created a new project, but the problem is still there... How can i restore the default palette settings? Can i delete the false dependencies? Or are there global files i can delete and then labview uses the default palette?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi,

In the getting started window of LabVIEW, go to

Tools>>Advanced>>Edit Pallete Sets

"Edit Controls and Functions Palette Set" window will appear.

Click "Restore To Default" here.

Hope this helps.

Hi Michael,

I'd like to know how you created the palletes and how you attempted to delete them. May be it will shed some more light.

Also, is it happening only for this particular project? or for all VIs that are related to Signal Generation.

So first of all this problem presists a few months ... so iam not really sure what i´ve done ;). I thought its not so important, but now it is really getting on my nerves...

If i open a vi of the project without beeing in the project everything is fine. Also if i create a new project an load some of the vi´s there is no problem. But if i use the automatic folder update function on my project folder, the warning is also there. In this folder are NO *.mnu- Files only vi´s, the 3 project files, typedefs and one .rtm-File for my Menu. So what can be the problem now?

I am not very sure at the moment. I'll try to reproduce the problem and let you know. Hopefully someone else may have a better idea. Thanks. 🙂

Ok, thanks... one more hint - you saw the two questionmark-box vi´s in the "greyed_out.jpg" picture ... i think this is strange, isn´t it?

I think when i installed Labview, there was a symbol for every VI in the function-palette. Could it be that i somehow have overwitten the defaults in the ...\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\menus folder? So thats why the "restore defaults" button is grayed out, because these ARE the default values. Is it possible to get the "dir.mnu" for the signal processing subpalette (...\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\menus\Categories\Signal Processing\dir.mnu) of somebody?... Reinstalltation is al little more complicated, because the DVDs are at our computer administrative department.

So, thanks for your help....
