Hi Pierre:

 

Is it possible to get the properties pane to stop scrolling to a new location every time I make an entry in all fields? The return to thee top is counter-productive and disorienting. I know this has been mentioned before and I think it was supposed to be fixed.

 

I can buy a boat anchor if that would help.

 

Thank you.

hi Pierre,

Hi,

 

Short introduction: I am a newbie. That is to say, I have been interested in IQ for about five years, tried it quite a few times, but the learning curve was just to steep for me. Also I was too occupied with work to be able to invest a lot of time in study. All the same, I could see that it is a very powerful piece of software.

 

Recently, somehow, It suddenly all fell into place. I could see what it is all about. Maybe because I had been playing around with Ecco, which I did not know before, but which is so similar.

 

It was probably not wise, but I started to move all my current work and projects to IQ. Not wise, because though I get the basics, all the advanced stuff is a bridge too far yet. Well-known problems, as I found out in the forum, such as disappearing items because of Source and View settings, manual sorting of items, and other stuff.

 I was delighted to discover by accident that "alt + enter" creates a new sibling above the current item, but I can't find this documented anywhere. Is there a list of such commands somewhere that I am missing?

 

Thanks,

 

Lucas

 Hi All,

 

I'm getting back into IQ after a very long hiatus, and I'm really enjoying it so far. However, here is one issue that keeps coming up, and I am wondering if others have seen this:

 

I have a grid, let's call it MyGrid, and the source for the grid is "MyGrid". However, upon doing a manual refresh, the source information switches to undefined, so that all items in the database appear in the grid. Then I have to manually reconfigure the grid info so that the source is only "MyGrid".

 

Does that explanation make sense? Is it a known issue? I haven't yet pinpointed exactly what the conditions are that lead to this happening, but I'll see what I can figure out.

 

Thanks,

 

Lucas

 

EDIT: See comment below describing how to produce one instance of this behavior.

The background to this post can be found in a very much earlier post, http://www.sqlnotes.net/drupal5/index.php?q=node/684&page=1 - [node:684,title="Is it a bird or is it a plane"]

All I am seeking to do is to classify items. This is not at all the same thing as categorisation – these days, more popularly known as tagging.

Is this working right?

 

1. Select an item that has sub items. Note that I have tried this with the item expanded and collapsed.

2. Copy the selected item (not the second choice that copies the sub items too).

3. Paste the item as a link.

 

 I have two observations.

 

1. The pasted item does not appear until I manually refresh the grid. I thought that was a thing of the past. But worse, refreshing the grid collapses everything an I have to find where I was. Auto update is on.

 

2. The paste operation inserts the sub items too. If this is normal, why the second copy choice? (selected items and their sub items)

I haven't read it but figured it would be of interest.
