Downloadable file missing icons
- Aug 25, 2010
By Dan Milkie, Coleman Technologies.
The zip file contains less icons than in the
webpage. For example, the FPGA icon is
missing from the zip file.
Saved Images Color Corrupt
- Jan 25, 2010
When I click on an image, save it, then open
it with paint, the colors are wrong. I get a
lot of black. I initially thought the image
was just inverted, but inverting the image
(via paint image -> invert colors) doesn't
fix the problem.
I've seen this on the two images I tried
(which was continuous.png and something
else). Workaround is to just hit alt-print
screen to capture my Firefox browser window,
then paste the entire window into paint and
grab the image I'm looking for.
I agree with the others saying just
displaying the actual images would be much
better.
I didn't know this existed...

I am working with LV for more then 10
years. Almost by accident I pressed the
button linking to this library. Never heard
of it... The NI-days are perfect to mention
this. A better option would be to include
this (and custom) lib functions to the
icon editor.
Default File Path
- Mar 25, 2008
By David Hakey, GE.
I use the import picture to clipboard to
import iconlib items routinely. I would like
to be able to set the default path to iconlib
so I do not have to navigate to it every time.
Please, make it possible to copy & paste directly.

Great idea, but bad implementation. It's
too cumbersome to use.
The old webpage with icons was much
more easy to use. What I always did,
was to right-click, 'copy' and then move
to the icon editor, and 'paste' the image.
Very easy.
However.... now I have to save the image
on disk, open it in an editor, then cut the
icon, and paste it. Too much hassle...
Please make a copy&paste option for
this page.
Alternatively, the Labview icon editor
could include it's own icon browser that
connects to the Labview site, or regulary
updates or something like that...

Flash?!?! No...
If we can't drag the icons out, at least
R'CLK, Copy
Appreciate the Icons!

Well overdue. Most of us LV
programmers don’t have time to be
artist. Would appreciate the ability to
copy the icon directly from the WEB
page then pasting the icon into
LabVIEW. Saves time and that is what it
is all about!

This is a really nice idea, and I'll keep in
mind that it's a work in progress. I like the
potential of not having to make my own icons,
but agree that this interface isn't all that
practical -yet-. I don't mind the "save
image as" context menu method, but drag and
drop sure would be nice...
Downloading the zip would've been the single
easiest way for me to browse, but as of
today, the zip download seems broken.
Thanks for your hard work, folks; I'll keep
checking back here periodically.
Offline use of library
- Sep 7, 2007
By Brandon Settles, Bechtel Bettis Inc..
The previous icon library allowed people
to save the webpage, and the
categorization of the icons, for use
offline. The new library just provides a
zip file of png images that has no
organization. It would be much more
beneficial to offline users if there was a
way to view the icons by category.
People who do not have the internet on
their main network such as myself,
would greatly appreciate this
improvement. I also agree with the user
comments that Flash was not the best
method for distributing the icons. Nice
icons, but poor distribution.
Drag and drop please!

As Sephen Mercer pointed out on info-labview
Flash was used because it is easy for the
designers to update the library. OK fine -
but what is it all worth if it is unusable
for us LabVIEW programmers?????
Usualy you have lots of VIs that needs icons
so the process must be FAST and EASY!
Web page needs fixing...
- Aug 14, 2007
By Scott Hannahs, NHMFL- FSU.
Now live but not error free...
http://www.ni.com/images/iconlib/Max_&_Min.png NOT
Found.
FYI, you CANNOT use a ampersand (&) in a URL even if it
is just an image reference. That should be
http://www.ni.com/images/iconlib/Max_&_Min.png
But even that is not found so there is another problem to
be fixed.
Please conform to web standards. There is a long list of
errors.

NOW for the real gripe. This nice page of web content is
FLASH!!! Now what would be the way it would be useful?
How about individual PNGs that could be simply dragged
from the web page to the Icon editor! What a concept.
Simple, you see what you want and then you grab it with
the mouse. How intuitive. But, noooooo, it has to be a
flash based web page.
I don't want to download the images again with an extra
mouse click. I don't want an intermediate file, I just want to
drag the freakin' thing into the window I have open.
This icon library is a god send to those of us who are
artistically challenged! It is a great idea. But the
mechanics of the library were not thought out from the
users perspective. Flash is a cool web technology it is just
an inappropriate solution in this case.
