How does the autosave mechanism in IQ work?  is it saving every x seconds or minutes?  Does it constantly save text that is being typed into the HTML pane, or does it only save text in the HTML pane when you move to another item?

 

I am often worried that if IQ were to crash after I've typed in a lot of information that I'd lose data.  With normal programs I'm constantly manually hitting save which in theory usually stops the loss of data if the program crashes.  With IQ I don't know how the autosave mechanism works, so after I've typed a lot of info I often close and reopen, under the assumption that causes an autosave and also frees up the databse so Dropbox can sync it.

 

I'd like to stop closing and reopening, which may be unnecessary, so I'd like to better understand how autosave mechanism works.

 

Thanks

 

Hi Pierre,

 

Ever considering adding a spell check function to IQ, especially to the HTML pane?

 

Thanks,

(lol -- which is the odd one out there :-)

 

If I am entering text in an item in the bottom of the grid, pressing the down arrow will not advance to the next line - even if there is a blank item there (previously created by pressing enter key multiple times at the bottom of grid).

 

I suspect this is another "grid supplier" bug but I don't know if you were aware of it. 

 

Instead of pressing the down arrow, I have to press the enter key.  That's one way to get past the last line in the grid.

I couldn't find anything in the help file on this.  I've misspelled the same name in the HTML pane for over 50 items.  It looks like search only works on grid columns or within a single HTML pane.  Is there no way to do a search and replace for a word across multiple HTML panes?

I've mentioned that I'm in the process of entering a large amount of historical research into InfoQube.  Right now I'm doing a simple copy/paste from the source into IQ text fields.  I'm finding the process extremely slow and labor-intensive.  Maybe someone here has some advice on how to speed up the process.  Even a small improvement would be a big help over the long haul.

 

One thing that's making things so slow is that I'm breaking up the text by topic to give me maximum flexibility in sorting and filtering the information.  This means I'm typically copying only a few sentences or maybe a paragraph at a time.  I can't just copy pages at a time and paste it in one step.

 

It did occur to me just now that it might be faster to enter a big block of text then split it inside IQ.  I haven't looked it up yet but I'm guessing IQ has a "split item" function like Ecco Pro.  That would at

does anybody know -

 

How to concurrently display named days of the week (Mon/Tues/etc) and calendar events in the New Calendar.  The Main Calendar (not the mini calendars) current default displays events but not named days.  By means of "Show Time Scale" named days of the week appear but events disappear.  Or is that concurrent display ability not functional yet?  Numerical date does always display.

This started on the last release.  I don't normally work on any program maximized to full screen but I've found that if I do this with InfoQube, it takes over the whole screen and prevents from minimizing the window after that point because the windows symbols in the upper right are gone.

 

Often it further takes over the screen by wiping out my taskbar on the right side.  The only remedy is to close the program.  When I re-start it, sometimes it comes up maximized again and I have to re-start it again.  Finally, it will come up as a partial window, and I can continue working.

 

I've tested all my other open programs and none are doing this.  I've attached a screenshot of the maximized window.  Note that in the upper right the three symbols are missing for "minimize", "maximize" and "close".

 

Not a big deal, I guess.  I just have to remember

Hi IQ Users,

Copying cell content in IQ seems less easy and intuitive.

Here's the result of copying and pasting the content of a date field (Focus is on the field in the grid, and I press Ctrl+C):

 

 

 

And when I do the same with the item field, the  format is lost (no more bold, italic, etc) when  pasted back in another cell.
