Long delay before showing Item

Submitted by lbw2112 on 2020/07/14 10:00
 Hi,
  Items that I clipped from certain website take long to show up in the Doc Pane when I click on them.   I'm getting around a 25 second pause when I first click on the Item before it shows. It usually even renders IQ Unresponsive. 
 
  After the first time I click on it and wait, it usually will show up immediately if I I ever click back to it in the same session but other times it'll still take the same amount of time as the first time.
 
  The part that I select and clip on is a table of times for Sunset etc.   I added the sample below.
 
What's strange is I experimented around and found that if I disable access to the internet that the Item Doc Pane info will show up immediately when I click on it.  Even closing and restarting IQ.

Cursor sticks when scrolling in Field List

Submitted by DavidF on 2020/07/11 15:14
Here's an odd one: if scrolling through the fields in the Manage Fields list, the scrolling sticks and goes no further when it encounters a Date field. Resolved by manually clicking in another field.
 
If you do successfully scroll through a Date field, in my experience, it will definitely then stick there when you scroll back the other way.
 
Using 0.9.116pre2 portable. Don't think this was happening before this version.
 
cheers

Problem using F7 and F8

Submitted by DavidF on 2020/07/08 17:09
hi,

I've been away from IQ for a few years, and have now come back to take another look. Would have liked my first post on returning to not be a bug report (at least I think it's a bug) but there you go...

The problem is with navigation. I like using F7 and F8 to navigate between items while keeping focus in the Document Pane. However, when you add a new Document Pane, F7 and F8 no longer work in that way - that is, if you have focus in one of the Document Panes, they don't do anything. If you put focus back to the Grid, F7/F8 work once more. Although I've had occasions when they've stopped working even with focus in the Grid  - always in connection with having created a new Document Pane. In that case, I only solved the problem by going back to just one Document Pane and closing and reopening IQ.

Move between items in edit mode

Submitted by WayneK on 2020/07/07 22:25
Suggestion:  Allow movement between items without exiting edit mode (using up/down arrows).
 
I might have made this suggestion before but I find this so useful in another program that I can't help but wish I could do it InfoQube.
 
In XYplorer, when you enter edit mode to change a file title, you can move to the next file name without exiting edit mode.
 
Just now I wanted to append the same word to 10 files.  I copied the word, entered it at the end of the first file name, then hit down arrow/ctrl-v 9 times in rapid succession and it was done in seconds.  So much easier than exiting and re-entering edit mode over and over.
 
Even if it's not a case of repetitive pasting, just being able to stay in edit mode when you are cleaning up text would be help

How to combine two grids under a new one using a common field to both?

Submitted by Alp on 2020/07/04 09:29
Hi,
 
I'd like to combine two grids with a common field under a new grid that self-populates all items without any need for my interaction. My "grid: fields" are
 
stores: item (holding storeid), storenames, city
employees: item (holding employeeid), storeid, employeenames

I can transfer storenames and city fields from stores grid into employees grid through the following SQL query under a new field 'storecode': "Select Item as storecode, storenames, city from stores". However, this way, I need to select store names for every employee one by one myself. With hundreds of employees, this is not feasible.

Is there a way that I can combine fields of these two grids under a third grid making use of their common field, i.e., storeid, without my interaction for each item?
 
Thanks,
Alp

Can I use an SQL query to generate a list of "what links here" (backlinks)?

Background: In recent years, I was mostly on a Mac and mostly used Tinderbox. Over the last year, I've been on a PC and was using the new Roam Research app. However, it just wasn't powerful enough, and I am now very much enjoying getting back into the wonderfully powerful InfoQube, which has come a long way!

How do I filter using the manage grid filter?

Submitted by jelphd on 2020/07/01 13:01
Hi,
 
As a newbie to InfoQube, I'm still grappling with all the great functionality and how to use it. Normally, when I'm lost, I read the manual and search on the forum. However, I've run into a filtering issue and can't find the solution.
 
I've created a grid for imported emails. I plan to process the information in the email and add it to my slip box (I'm also new to the slip box so there's been a lot of trial and error). Once I've processed the email, I will check the "Processed?" field to indicate that the information in the email has been processed. I want to filter out the emails that have been processed. When I use the column filter drop down and select blank, the filtering works. However, when I use the filtering cell in the Manage Grid properties the processed emails still show.
