Solved!

hi Wolfgang,

 

You can close CVI to update the toolbars with the file.

 

You can suggest this feature to NI here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/ideas/v2/ideaexchangepage/blog-id/labviewideas

Hi Julien,

 

Thanks, I gave up too early, it wasn't clear to me that this dialogue box was not CVI...  So I managed to import the file but did not get the save file icon, despite the added line (item4): (I increased the item numbers of the subsequent entries accordingly)

 

<Key Key="Workspace Window Toolbar">

<Item Key="Workspace Window Toolbar\item1" Value="New Source File"/>

<Item Key="Workspace Window Toolbar\item2" Value="New User Interface File"/>

<Item Key="Workspace Window Toolbar\item3" Value="Open File"/>

<Item Key="Workspace Window Toolbar\item4" Value="Save File"/>

Yesterday I thought it was a good solution for your problem. Maybe you need to change more things in the file or understand better the file.

Wolfgang,

 

I hadn't realized that there were restrictions on which buttons can be added to which toolbars. Given this, and after some reconsideration, I've been persuaded that it is buggy behavior for the attribute browser (and the object browser) to be associated with the workspace toolbar instead of the UI Editor toolbar. This is being driven by an internal implementation detail that should not result in unintuitive behavior.

 

I've created a bug report for this: 382278

 

Sorry about this.

 

Luis
