The JKI team wants to let everyone know that we are working hard to get the right-click framework released, now that scripting has been publicly released! We’ve got a few loose strings to tie up, but hopefully it won’t take long, so stay tuned. We're totally motivated by all the excitement and great feedback we've already received from everyone — thanks!

I bet you guys are excited. It was sorely needed and you guys did, of course, a superb job! It is exciting for me to have my tool included in the first release — and your intro video at that! Keep the awesomeness coming.

Dave: As Jim allude, we have been converting tools posted by other (On LAVA for example) to be able to be used in the RCF. You suspect right that the PasteReplace (renamed as “replace with clipboard content”) was derivated from your work that you posted on LAVA (http://forums.lavag.org/Paste-Replace-t3040.html). As Jim say, we will contact the respective authors before we release he RCF.
I have been pretty excited working on this for a few years, and it is nice to finally be able to talk about it openly.

JDave, I've just confirmed that it's your code that was adapted for this RCF plugin. I've posted a comment on the LAVA thread where you posted this code. Thanks!

JDave: Thanks for the kind words. I’m happy to hear that the RCF is something that you’re looking forward to. In fact, some of the RCF plugins that we’re using, internally, at JKI (like the Paste from Clipboard and Auto-wire tunnels) is derived from code that we’ve found elsewhere (like LAVA) and adapted into the RCF environment (so, perhaps the “Paste from Clipboard” plugin uses *your code*). Rest assured that when we release the RCF framework to the public that we’ll contact authors before we redistribute any of their code and give them full credit — the whole point of the RCF is allowing the community to create great plugins

Jim, I love how cleanly you integrated this stuff into the native environment. I have wanted to have that for quite a while, and made a few of my own tools to do some of that (Was that some PasteReplace stuff in there? . It’s great to see a nice professional product coming out to fill this need.

Now I just need to get more LabVIEW programming opportunities at work to take advantage of it!!! Great Work!

True. We have some great tools, but the integration into LabVIEW has always been the stumbling block. I think they’re intuative, but I just haven’t been able to find a good way to get them into the standard workflow. Hopefully, once your RCF is released (with project explorer integration) then it’ll all fall into place…
