CPU usage rises while using the grid

Submitted by mca1 on 2011/09/08 13:28
Hi there,
 
since 2009 I tried a lot of tools to support my daily planning and work-routines. At the moment I stick with MyLifeOrganized (MLO) but after discovering InfoQube I am really up to a change. This seems by far the most promising project I came across in the last years. As I am also quite satisfied with MLO I want to make sure that InfoQube fits all my needs before I go for it.
 
One thing that disturbs me right now is a noticeable increase in CPU load when I navigate through or simply click in the grid. InfoQube sits with zero CPU and about 32megs of Mem, but when I click inside the cells the CPU loads goes up to ~20-30% and the fan of my notebook jumps in.
 
This is quite disturbing. I fluent working inside the grid is hindered by that at the moment.

Do we need to reconcile/cleanup issue tracking and voting

Submitted by reesd on 2011/09/02 09:37
I'm wondering if we should look at moving from Mantis and UserVoice to something that does both.
 
Right now issue reporting and tracking is a bit of a mixed bag. Most updates list forum threads rather than issues and most folks dont bother with Mantis. Mantis also doesn't support voting and its bug issue seems to indicate it will not anytime soon. Its also behind in functionality in other ways from newer issue tracking sites.
 
And uservoice is only used by some, and not lined up with Mantis. It also doesn't give any of the release management that a development team needs.
 
Youtrack (and Jira) is way better.

conditional format using row equations

Submitted by reesd on 2011/08/31 20:58
 
It would be nice if we could use equations for computing individual field formatting (or at least color) rather than using the grid widget's conditional formats. Basically like what we can do at the item level now.
 
So instead of putting this in an field properties conditional formats
-1:PriInt=1:ForeColor=DarkRed
-1:PriInt=2:ForeColor=OrangeRed
-1:PriInt=3:ForeColor=DarkGreen

Suggestion Re: Displaying only some sub-items

Submitted by Tom on 2011/08/30 06:24
When I open a grid with a parent collapsed/closed, and drag an item to become it's sub-item, just the new sub-item shows (not any other children).
This is often *very* helpful behaviour, but has been initially confusing to me, and others - when you dont click what's going on.
 
Example:
the two blue item were dragged under "241 Final" which has many other sub-items
 
 

Suggestion:

In the above scenario, two sub-items show, but others are hidden -
[1] instead of showing the dot (indicating expanded) beside the parent item, continue showing the > arrow which indicates item collapsed. This would be a clue for those who are bewildered by this behaviour. Clicking on the arrow would then show all sub-items.

locking a grid view

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2011/08/27 13:03
Does anyone think this would be a useful option?
 
Example: I have a view which sucks up all items which are associated with a security field.
So.... looking at this view, one gets a quick, alphabetized list of items w user names, passwords, etc
If it were somehow locked this would not be possible unless left un-attended for a period of time (could have a timer attached to it)
 
I realize someone familiar w IQ could find themselves locked out of this view & still be able to reconstruct another view if the lock is based on the grid name but I'm thinking that maybe the security field could be 'locked' somehow, i.e. request a password.
 
Thoughts, comments, ideas, suggestions?
