Clipper Question(s)

Submitted by WayneK on 2015/11/22 18:33
In Firefox, I want to add the clipped item to the current grid but when the "add item" dialogue comes up the "Current grid" option is grayed out and can't be selected.  I can only save to the inbox.  I went through Options, the Help File, etc but couldn't find a solution.

New grids created with the "manage grid" dialog creates malfunctioning grids

Submitted by Armando on 2015/11/21 16:07
Had to change the previous title which was : "Add/remove columns" doesn't work well.
The problem isn't with add/remove columns, but with grids created with the "manage grid" dialog.
 
With new grid created through the manage grid dialog :

- newly added columns are stacked and can't be moved up/down.
- grids don't retain their columns [edit : it actually depends. See next post]
- grids aren't created with the default set of columns identified in the field properties dialog.
 
Note however that new grids created with the grid tab context menu option (New grid) work properly and columns are retained + appearing normaly (not stacked).

Lost grid (see details) after changing a form while its column set was applied

Submitted by Armando on 2015/11/21 16:05
- My "task" grid was loaded
- I changed the column set using a specific form
- I saw 2 fields I wanted to add to the column set so I decided to edit the currently applied form "column set" (using the form editor).
- After editing the column set in the form editor, I refreshed the grid and all items disappeared from the grid and they never reappeared in that grid.
 
I tried changing the filter, closing and reopening the grid, repairing the DB, compacting, etc. But the grid would always remain empty, whatever filter was in the source bar.
 
Recreating the grid from scratch solved the problem
 
NOTE that NO item was lost. Only the grid.

Calendar (bug/s)

Hi Pierre
been trying  out the Calendar it's working great, and looking great :thumbsup:
 
I have what I presume is a display bug:
  • set the display to 2, 3, 5, or 7 days
  • click on a month in the mini-calendar, or select more than a weeks worth of days
  • the view remains in the 'column' format but shows either the month or the number of selected days -- note that according to the toolbar, the view is now @31 days
  • if I click on the "31" button in toolbar, it will show the month as expected

Copying single item cell misses the font formatting and other HTML tags

Submitted by Armando on 2015/11/16 14:44
 This doesn't seem to happen all the time, not sure why. But it does most of the time.
 
1- select an item cell with font formatting or other HTML tags (like hyperlinks)
2- ctrl+c to copy
3- create an other item and paste (ctrl+v) : the text is there, but all HTML tags are lost.
 
I've checked various settings on my side and can't find any correlations.
 
Anybody can confirm that?

preserve cursor location in popup editor - minor request

Submitted by jimspoon on 2015/11/12 00:07
Say I am editing text in a grid cell and then I decide it would be better if I did the editing in the Shift+F2 popup editor rather than the grid.  When I press Shift+F2, the cursor goes to the start of the item being edited.  Would it be possible to make the cursor go to the same position in the item in the popup editor as it was in the grid cell when Shift+F2 was pressed? 
 
One reason this would be good for me - I am still having the problem where the item does not split properly when I press Ctrl+Shift+S in a grid cell.   But I do not have this problem when I press Ctrl+Shift+S in the popup editor - the split is completed properly.  So if the cursor position was preserved when I switch to the popup editor, I could split the item at a given location with two keystrokes - Shift+F2, Ctrl+Shift+S.
 
thanks much !!
