Darren's Occasional Nugget 01/30/2014

I've posted severalnuggetsinthepast about tokens you can add to your LabVIEW INI file. But during a presentation the other day, somebody asked me where the INI file is located, and I couldn't give a complete answer. Its location is pretty easy to remember on Windows, but what about Mac and Linux? Here's where you can find the LabVIEW INI file (also called the LabVIEW Preferences file) on all three desktop platforms:

 

Windows

LabVIEW [20xx]\LabVIEW.ini

 

Mac

[user 'Library' folder]: Preferences:LabVIEW.app [20xx] Preferences

 

Linux

[user folder or 'root']/natinst/.config/LabVIEW-[20xx]/labview.conf

 

If you want to programmatically retrieve the LabVIEW INI file path on your system, you can call the VI I've attached to this post. It works in LabVIEW 8.0 and later on all desktop platforms. I hope this nugget post eventually bubbles up in a google search for "Where is the LabVIEW INI file?". :)
