Is there any way to improve the performance when using pull down lists in columns? Using a mouse or touchpad seems to be a hit or miss affair. I frequently need three clicks to activate the drop down list and a fourth to select. This feature does not behave as in other programs where it is easier by far and much more responsive.

This is present in versions L and M.

 

1. Open Manage Fields

2. Create a new field

3. Observe that the box indicating the presence of code in the field is ticked. This is problem 1. There is no code.

4. I make the field type as text.

5. I want to create a pull down field, so I open Editor.

6. Cannot tick Auto List nor can anything be entered in the box below.

7. Closing and re-opening Manage Fields clears the ticked box under #3 and allows entries in Editor.

 

I don't know if other areas of Manage Fields are affected too. I don't have the time to thoroughly test.

 

This is infuriating when one has several new fields to enter. To quote that great American philosopher, Homer Simpson, "I'm not a praying man, but Superman, please help!"

Enjoy !

 

As per IQ User Manual Item 5.2.4 Grid Filter Editbox instruction:

"To delete a filter in the drop down list : right-click on it and press delete, or just hover your mouse over it to select it an press delete.R"
only the highlighted filter doesn't delete, even after multiple repeated attempts, any suggestions?

 I don't use this feature a lot, so please bear with me. It successfully locates the words I am searching for but no matter how I want to have them displayed (hoisted, new search grid (whatever that is) search grid_, NOTHING happens. I have checked the search grid without the expected results. I am searching for text in all text fields. Wwhat am I doing wrong?

Perhaps this exists and I am unaware of how to implement it. I would find it helpful if hits would be highlighted.

 

I mean the actual words of phrases of course.

Something funny about the overview.  It does not seem to work as it did in versions prior to L. I have to "play" with it to get it to display the shaded area which you can drag. It does not reliably display the abbreviated bars (the hints in the overview) so you can navigate. Finally, when I was fooling around to try to get it to display correctly, I discovered that double clicking in the overview creates a new item.
