Hi IQUsers !
Getting a release ready is always a very exciting moment for me, and it is sometimes hard to take the time to describe in detail the new features and bug fixes that are included...
So, I'll now take the habbit of creating a What's in xxx thread first, where features / bug fixes are added as they are accomplished. This will provide advanced information to you, IQ end-users and hopefully, better documentation.
Initially, I'll turn comments OFF for this thread, so users know that updates are coming from me. Of course, users are welcomed to create new threads to discuss any of the issues.
HTH
Back to v0.9.25E.:
Properties Pane Editing
Adding field-values in the properties pane often caused it to scroll, which made it ackward to use. This has been improved. To do this, new fields-values will not be added to the Values section. To refresh this section, simply close / reopen it. Eventually, I'll show a Refresh icon when applicable.
Also on this issue, auto-search is now enabled when the focus is on the first column only. This way, you can start typing the name of the field to find it. Press TAB moves the focus to the second column, where typing starts editing (the same way as when in a grid).
IQ Closing
On some occasions, timing issues could cause IQ to close. These have been improved, but it can still occur, in particular if the file is closed immediately after opening, if it is the first time of the day and if there are many fields with equations set to auto-update. This will be improved in later versions.
Icon Support
I initially planned adding item icon support to v0.9.25E. This is being pushed back a little, mainly, because of the next point
Named styles
I'm working on adding named styles. This will take the form of a split button:
- Hit the button will show the Named Styles Manager
- Hit the dropdown arrow will show the list of named styles, to apply this to the current grid
I'll update this with the dialog when available. This will be included in v0.9.25F
Other New Features:
- Resize / Move events in the Calendar shows the Start / Stop times
- Gantt: Can now choose the default bar color: Grid >> Properties >> Gantt
Other Bug fixes:
Crash : Everytime I click on on an hyperlink, IQ crashes. - Calendar: When moving an event, the event date field was not updated, instead, the New Event date field was used.
"Date is a reserved field name..." Drag drop to slide/move gantt bars has become painfully slow and CPU intensive when chnging level cell content clears Grid editing headaches Manage Forms Gantt : bar covers a 2 day span while duration is only one day. When an item is created,Properties pane shows content from the previous item. Add-item dialog : "sync properties pane" option is not robust enough When an item is created, HTML pane shows content from the previous item. - Sometimes impossible to erase the a grid in Manage Grid
- Big bug : grid reset data entry after a refresh + can't reopen it after closing it (need to re-start IQ) (M)
BTW, Comments are now ON
