Hi Pierre

Did something change at some point in the way items (XML way, item + subs) are copied/pasted in IQ...?

 

When an item has multiple parents and is found in several places under a copied hierarchy, that item pasted only once (when the paste process pastes as "new" item, of course, NOT as a new link/parent link).

e.g.

Hi IQ Users,

I was trying to edit the fields in Tools > Options > This File according to the instructions for setting up Dropbox file sync.

 

However, I discovered that I unable to change any options in the Options dialog except for checkmark options.

 

For example, in Tools > Options > This File > Background Recalc, I am able to check or uncheck the checkbox.

 

But for "Auto backup every x minutes", i am unable to change this value from the existing value of 10.  I've tried single-clicking the field, double-clicking the field, pressing F2, typing in a number, trying to click the up/down button that momentarily appears in the field - nothing works to activate this option to change the value.

 

The same thing happens when I try to select a folder for the "Sync Folder" option.

 

UPDATE:  I just discovered that I can activate and

Sometimes, it's really hard to close the field properties dialog.

It doesn't seem to happen with a sample DB, maybe because there aren't many fields, grids, etc.

 

The steps:

- open the dialog

- make some modification to a field

- save

- try to close : clicking the close button makes the button change Color, but nothing happens. Sometimes I need to reclick 20 times, even after waiting for the fields background updates/calculations (I'm guessing that's what it does since it takes so much time to even switch fields in the dialog after making modifications to one).

 

It's pretty annoying as making a simple changes to a field can take much more time than it should.

- create new grid

- uncheck word wrap in the grid properties

- save in grid properties and close the dialog

- everything seems ok : word wrap is off in the grid column headers

- close IQ and restart

- word wrap is ON

 

Workaround : deactivate word wrap for the item field (right click on header, etc.) and reactivate it. 

 Not an emergency feature. But it would probably be super easy to add to the Omnibox and make it even more useful! (When the favorite menu is crowded, it can be hard to find something... and since there's no "search as you type" in there...)

Thanks!

Around 1/3rd to 1/4th of the time, pressing enter after selecting some grid or "action" (menu actions,..) in the Omnibox does nothing.

 

Workaround : click somewhere else -- preferably on some grid tab -- and reclick in the Omnibox and repress enter. Repressing Omnibox shortcut does nothing to alleviate the problem.

 

This defeats one of Omnibox main functions : being able to use the keyboard to quickly control IQ. This problem has been there since the Omnibox has been implemented and I don't know what causes it. It's a bit like if it was loosing its link to IQ or something like that.

 

anybody else experienced this problem ? any clue about what could cause it ?

 

thanks

 While IQ's startup (THANKS!) is much quicker, the app feels a bit sluggisher than last version... Or was it 47?
