scrolling grid with touchscreen swipes

Submitted by jimspoon on 2020/09/06 01:04
It would be nice if we could scroll a grid by swiping up or down on any column.  Right now we have to swipe on the narrow scroll bar.  If we swipe on the tree column, a drag and drop is initiated.  If we swipe on another column, cells are selected.  Perhaps different functions could be performed if touchscreen swipes are done with and without Ctrl pressed (or some such combination)?

Hyperlink Title Settings

Submitted by WayneK on 2020/09/05 01:58
Is there an option that controls the titles of file links?
 
Since I upgraded to 116, the options for link titles for dragged files are reset to the default after each use.  Before the settings were sticky, as they should be.
 
Right now, every time I drag a file I have to change settings to get what I want.

Issues specifying placement of items within a grid

Submitted by dderkits on 2020/09/03 11:35
I have recently begun using the "Show in a New Tab" feature (accessed by right-clicking on the Tab) to have the same Grid open simultaneously under two Tabs so that I can more easily work on different sections of the same Grid without having to scroll up and down within one Tab.
 
I want control over the sequence/structure of the Items in my Grid, as the sequentiality of Items can be as important as the hierarchy of Items.
 
Here is the bug, by way of example:
 
I view the Grid in one of the tabs. I would like to insert a new Item on, say, line # 45, so that it is after the Item on line #44 but before the Item that is on line #45 prior to inserting the new Item (shifting this Item down one line, to line #46). When I insert the Item, it appears as expected on line #45 in that Tab, but when I click on the second Tab to view the same Grid there, the newly-created Item occupies line #1.

Doc pane problem with new installation.

I have recently replaced my laptop with a desktop machine.  The laptop was the machine with the high DPI screen.  But it was having some problems in that the batteries no longer held very much charge and some of the connectors were becoming increasingly intermittent.  The batteries were not a problem because for the past 18 months it had never moved from my desk, so I replaced it with a desktop computer.
 
On the laptop the document pane was crisp and sharp.

Moving fields in forms

Submitted by WayneK on 2020/08/31 00:33
I notice some nice changes in how form fields are displayed in 9.116pre6.
 
When I select a field and drag it, a red bar appears above the cursor like the field is being dragged to a new location.  But when I release the mouse button, nothing happens.  The field remains back at its original location.
 
Has drag-and-drag been implemented and mine just isn't working?
 
Would love to see this.  Would also like to see right-click in Forms pane>add field.
 
These two things would greatly simplify forms management.

How to use the "flat list" and "tree view" grid display modes

Submitted by comvox on 2020/08/23 20:16
I have spent some time trying to figure out the grid display modes, "normal-flat list-tree view". I can't get them to work like it is shown in the help file topic, "1. Grid Display Modes", no matter which options I turn on or off. ( I have imported the sample AdrsBook grid, and tried the grid modes both on that and on some of my own test grids.)

For example, "flat list" seems to just collapse sub-items.  I tried having different columns as the column to the right of "Item", thinking that might help flat list select what to display, but it didn't matter.

The nearest I can get to what I think "flat list" should be is to set "Is Tree Column" to a different column than "Item". But it is still not what the help file shows as what the flat list should be.

How to set a conditional format to change item's font color if it has two or more parents ('nbParents' field > 1)?

Submitted by carloscadu on 2020/08/22 11:20
 Hi,
I'd appreciate your help.
Besides the field 'nbParents', does IQ provide other default identification that an item has more than one parent?
Since I'm not aware of other visual identification than 'nbParents' field, I'm trying to create a conditional format to change item's font color if it has two or more parents ('nbParents' field > 1).
It is the first time I'm dealing with the conditional functionality in IQ and found difficult to set it by myself.
Could someone provide how should I set the conditional format to color the items given the mentioned condition?
Thank you very much,
Carlos
 

Outline grid formatting problem

Submitted by gunars on 2020/08/20 19:23
Here is a formatting problem I came across in 0.9.115, but is still present:
 
1) Enter a new text-only item with "abcde".
2) While still in edit mode, select the text.
3) Press the Font button - it was at default Segoe UI 9 pt in 115, but now is blank.
4) Select Calibri 12 pt and press OK.
5) Press Font button again (text is still selected).

Why did we lose grid lines option?

Submitted by WayneK on 2020/08/19 16:13
Just updated 9.114s to 9.1116pre5.
 
What happened to the solid line option for grid lines?  I re-installed 114s to make sure I wasn't losing my mind.  Yep, the solid line option was there.
 
Could we please get the solid line option back?
 
It's a  minor point but shouldn't updates preserve previous options setting?  Several of my grid line options were changed.  Not a big deal, except it makes me wonder if other options have been changed without me noticing yet.
 
As a general rule, existing option settings should not be changed when you update, right?
