Thank you Pierre.

I'm particularly interested in the new tagging abilities -- both for search & calendar

I see how the tagged items to calendar works (neat) but could you outline how you saw this being implemented by the user?

I see tagging as grouping like things together in a temporary list

but I'm not sure the most efficient way of gathering the tagged items that uer may want to to move to calendar

In the case of the calendar, is this an interim fix for drag-drop to calendar or is this the way it will always work in IQ?

If so, how will that linking translate to Google sync?

In the weird but & important dept:

In various dialogs,

cursor is double arrow which works but may be confusing to casual user

Yes, I find this popping up all over the place. In windows like options, and even in the grid!. Very distracting. I find it difficult to work with, so for now I am back to W5.

I'm building v0.9.25W7 right now which fixes a few small issues, including this one. Available in 15 minutes...

Thank you Pierre. I was selecting columns when I wanted to use a filter!

Jon

Works well !

Version 0.9.25W7 is now available for download. Contains fixes for small bugs reported in v0.9.25W6.

Enjoy !

Hi Pierre:

I'm sorry to report that W7 does not fix the double arrow issue. Try hovering over the grid columns or moving the cursor to a blank area of the grid. I also get this in various windows (property pane, options, etc.).

Even with all the improvements, I have to stay with W5. Sometimes clicking in the column header will select a column when I need the filter.

Jon

Could you reboot and report back? I can't reproduce the issue. An screenshot would be great also

I rebooted and the situation is exactly the same. I tried taking a screen shot, but ClipMate and even PrintScreen do not display the cursor. Trust me - the problem is there and it is all over the place. It does not occur with W5. Only 6 and 7.

Jon

To make matters worse, I thought all of my check boxes that were ticked in a grid in W5 were lost. They do not display as ticked in W7. Also, I noticed that TLI that have sub items are not always displayed as such in 6 and 7. Refresh does not work. I have to expand the grid then use CTRL 1.

Jon

>I thought all of my check boxes that were ticked in a grid in W5 were lost. They do not display as ticked in W7

OK, this issue I was able to reproduce easily. Fixed

But you don't see the problem with the double arrow?

Jon

Nope ...

Are they right-left or up-down

Up / down. Looks similar to re-sizing a window.

I havent rebooted (cant at the moment)

The double arrow always shows here in grid space where there's no items:

I don't think I've ever seen these type of arrows in IQ. Maybe because I'm using another set of cursors ?

yep, fixed in above scenario ("The double arrow always shows here in grid space where there's no items")

I can't reproduce the problem either. This is weird...

So it just happens like that, for no reasons ?

And it is like that on a fresh start, before expanding any item ?

The calendar is OK ?

OK, I'm confused. Should I continue work w w6, d/l w7 or go back to w5?

v0.9.25W7 is now available:

Fixed: Strange mouse pointers on some installations
Fixed: Checkboxes are sometimes displayed unchecked when they should be checked
Fixed: Column filter type is not saved.

All users should upgrade !

Thanks !

I had the double arrow too with W6 & W7 - now all seems OK w W8.

Also, the Properties Pane no longer crashing on me - so All Good here!

v0.9.25W8 is now available:

Fixed: Pressing space when not editing toggles the first grid checkbox (!) (return of an old grid-supplier bug)

Thanks.

Thank you. This version (W8) seems to be working well.

Jon

Please do post a new thread or at least update the old thread when releasing a new version. Its hard to know a new version 0.9.25W8 is out when its buried in an old thread named 0.9.25W6.

Thanks,

Yes, I mean to update the subject as well. So if someone is looking at the what's new page they will see 0.9.25W8 in the subject.

Thanks!

Coming up in v0.9.25W9

New: Improved look:
- Removed: Ecco-style bullets (sorry folks... must move on and simplify things )

[/quote]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

OK, if it has to be, I guess I'll just have to live with it. I have an affection for those bullets from my many years with Ecco. The only thing I did not like about their implementation in IQ was their centering instead of being top aligned.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

There. That's better.

Jon

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

re the bitter PAIN of losing the Ecco style bullets - I wholeheartedly agree w Jon!

Nyyeeeeeeeeeeeeettttt !!!

What's the rush and the reason for getting rid of them?

Can they be kept in there as an option for us members of the Ecco generation?

I don't miss them that much, but the + and - seem kind of big?

I have just made the upgrade from W8 to W10 and - maybe it's just me - but I find the loss of list bullets to be totally unintuitive, like operating blind folded. For one thing, bullet styles used to visually identify where I had subitems, but that quick visual reference is gone now. Am I missing something? Are bullets an option toggle now or something? Or is there a substitute visual for identifying items that have collapesed subitems underneath it? I must be missing something. thanks

Doug Bartlett

Hi Doug,

Thanks for your comments. Having bullets on each item may be available in the future, as an option, but for now, it was causing stability and performance issues, so I decided to remove them.

Instead, expand / collapse buttons are shown when needed. Since v0.9.25W10, you can edit the icons to your liking, but the default is a + and a -.

Many users have found the changes gives an improved, clearer, less loaded look to the outlines. Give it a shot !

HTH !

OK Pierre, thanks for your response . . . but:

- how do I activate the expand / collapse buttons, because right now I have nothing to the left of items except faintly dotted L shapes, although I have since figured out that short L's signify collapsed items underneath, whereas tall L's signify no collapsed items underneath.

- how do I "edit icons to my liking", I'm not able to locate that command ?

thanks for your patience

Doug Bartlett

See Version v0.9.25W9 is now available !. (though the expand/collapse buttons are better looking now)

[edit]

Pierre, again thank you, but sorry . . . I do not understand how to make the + and - signs (expand/collapse buttons) appear as icons in front of items. I do not have them anywhere in W10, including in the same help documentation grid you've illustrated above. All I've got are tall and short L's, that do expand to tree lines, but that's it. No + or - signs/icons. No clue how to make them appear.

Sorry.

Doug Bartlett

Are you using portable or installed versions ?

installed version, on Windows 7

Doug Bartlett

OK, the installed version is not tested. I'll check this issue.

In you want, simply copy the portable package to any (non-protected) folder. Details here: InfoQube Program Install and Set-up

thanks Pierre

Doug Bartlett

I can confirm that the installed version was lacking the 4 .ico files for the bullets.

I've updated the installed setup. Please download it again.

Hi Doug,

You can also add lines to all grid items to give you a visual representation of your outline.

Tools > Options > Grid > Tree Lines (12.8)

HTH

yes, I always use the grid lines. thanks Jan. it's the + and - signs/icons (expand/collapse buttons) that I don't understand how make appear. right now, for me, W10 has no bullet type for items, except the faintly dotted tall and short L's that constitute the vertical tree lines (I guess).

Doug Bartlett

Since v9 isn't available, maybe you ought to remove "Download it here" link. Just sayin'
