I'd like to use MS Word to edit the pages of the pane on the right. How can I set this up? Are there instructions in the documentation?

 

Another question: What's the best way to search for answers to questions like this in all existing documentation sources?

Is this possible? I'd like to sometimes view items without the hierarchy, i.e. unindented, no sub-items. The "flat list" looks like the nearest thing, but there are still sub items. (If anyone here knows MLO, I mean something like the "To-Do" view.) Ideally a button or single menu item would toggle the hierarchy (as in MLO), but I'm guessing that if this is at all possible in IQ then it's some combination of flat list and filtering.

I am looking forward to the "filter-on-type" feature coming in 0.9.105.

 

I would also like to see a "highlight-on-type" feature added too, so that the user has the option not only to filter the grid for specified text, but also to highlight the specified text.  This is something I miss from the Ecco Extension.  Ecco Extension has a "highlight" button next to the filter text box, and if you activate that "highlight" button, all occurrences of the typed text are highlighted as you type.  You could turn on highlighting, filtering, or both.  It makes it easier to zero in on what you're looking for, particularly when the Item text is a few lines or longer.

Rows in a grid were missing, so I checked Hoist, and the menu indicated that Hoist was not on. I then hoisted and un-hoisted, and the missing items re-appeared.

When there's more than 1 IQ database open, the little preview window that pops up on mouse hover from the IQ icon on the Windows task bar says: "InfoQube Information Manager..." and it cuts of there. It would be more useful if it said the file name, maybe just "IQ" rather than spelled out the longest way, or just the file name, in the way that MS Office apps do. This would make it quicker and easier to select the correct window to maximise when more than 1 is open.

A simple question about just a small problem. When I've edited the text of an item, how can I exit the edit mode, while keeping the item selected? If I press the Enter key after editing an item, then an unwanted new item is created. I therefore have been pressing the Up or Down arrow key, but then the next item up or down is selected, unless it's the last item. Is there a single key or shortcut to escape editing an item while keeping the same item selected?

As I understand the manual, the way to assign an item to another parent is by holding down Ctrl and left mouse button while dragging the item to the other parent. When I attempt to do so, nothing happens. It doesn't look like the item is dragging, and no new item appears under the other parent. Nothing changes (or so it seems).

 

Am I doing something wrong? Is there any other way to assign another parent to an item?

1) I used the popup editor to insert an icon.

 

2) Afterwards, I could no longer select a cell and change the formatting (text color, fill).  Nor could I select sections of text and change the formatting.

 

3) I presumed there was some new editing state activated but if there is I can't figure out how to turn it off after reading the help file and trying various things.  Finally had to reboot the file.

 

Tried it again with the same result.  Could someone help me understand what's going on?

Either clip something from web, or open the new item dialogue and add some content.

Leaving the dialogue open, press Win+N.

The content is stripped out of the URL field and the HTML pane -- but oddly not from the item text field.

 

I dont know whether this a bug or by design:

 

(Without thinking about it in advance) I expected a second new item dialogue to open -- I realise this may not be possible, but found the stripping of content (with no apparent way of recovering it) a bit harsh.

What do you think?

I believe this is the third thread I've posted on this.  It got fixed once but quickly returned and hasn't been fixed for many months.

 

Whenever you finish editing forms, it collapses the view.  I think it closes under circumstances, too but I can't specify them (I know that's not much help).   I use a form for assigning fields and it's annoying to have to keep re-opening it.

 

If anyone knows of a fix, please share it.
