Hi IQUsers,
 
v0.9.25F had a few serious bugs (none affecting data integrity, don't worry), so here is v0.9.25G !

Bugs fixed:

  • Property pane was not working well
  • Changing a field property could cause a crash
  • Expand / collapse new shortcuts (Ctrl + left/right arrows) conflicted with cursor move from word to word
 See this thread for v0.9.25F bug fixes and new features: Version 0.9.25F is now available !
 

have unloaded 25E and reloaded 25C

Submitted by d bartlett on 2010/11/19 09:14
Hi, FYI I've found 25E to be a bit of an undpredictable experience, last week I had trouble accomplishing simple date sorts, i.e. descending or ascending - nothing would happen, yesterday I noticed I was losing data when doing a simple line item move from one location in a grid to another in the same grid by means of the mouse - the line c/w data simply disappeared instead of relocating.  I know this will all be resolved eventually, I am a big fan of !Q, but am adding this comment simply so Pierre and the rest of you IQ-engineers are aware, maybe it will help you somehow.  This morning I unloaded 25E and reloaded 25C which I found to be nicely stable. thanks, Doug

[Crash] ctrl +shift + number (to expand items) when multiple parents are selected : crashes IQ

Submitted by Armando on 2010/11/18 12:50
I've always used that strategy to expand several parents at once, and go deeper in the hierarchy :  select multiple parents, ctrl +shift + 9.
 
When I do that with the latest version, IQ crashes.
 
Confirmation please.
 
Thanks

The mysterious case of the disapparing HTML data

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2010/11/18 12:46
I have this grid item. It is a lonely grid item.
It was supposed to be accompanied by a lot of HTML data -- notes taken at a meeting
The item properties are as follows
 
Item = 19:31 BoS meeting
ItemHTMLTextSize = 377 (Nb values = 1496)
ItemHTMLWordCount = 63 (Nb values = 119)
ItemParent = Wed
ItemTextSize = 408 (Nb values = 12493)
ItemCreated = 11/17/2010 07:31:32 PM
 
But the HTML pane is BLANK.
So tell me, where are the words hiding?
 

How do I relink the universal clipper to a specific DB ?

Submitted by Armando on 2010/11/18 11:01
Often I work with 2 open DB, sometimes 3.
I'll then close 1 or 2 and leave only one open.
What happens is that the web clipper will loose its DB link and nothing will happen when I'll press win+N -- most probably because it was linked to one of the DB I just closed.
 
Is there a way to relink the clipper to the currently opened DB, or is the only way to shut down IQ and re-start it ?
If a restart is warranted, may I suggest that the clipper re-links itself automatically to the DB ? It's a bit cumbersome otherwise.
 
Ideally, when several DBs are open, we should be able to choose (through a dialog) in which DB will the info be stored/sent.
Mistakes happens otherwise, and I often store info in my Mantis DB thinking it's going in my everyday DB...

Basic Keyboard Shortcuts to control hierarchies collapse/expand should probably be the same in Properties pane and Grid (M)

Submitted by Armando on 2010/11/16 22:28
I wonder why shortcuts to control the hierarchies are different in the properties pane.
 
Grid and properties pane should probably be similar or identical -- it would be much easier to grasp for the new user, much more intuitive.
 
So that means that Grids should probably adopt ctrl + left/right  to collapse to the immediate parent or expand the currently focussed item/parent... and get rid of the of the ctrl+"-" ctrl+"+". This would make the whole grid navigation much more efficient  : no more reaching for another spot on the keyboard. Leave your hand in the same spots, move items, navigate in the grid, expand/collapse hierarchies.
 
(For more "detailed" operations, Ctrl+numbers OR ctrl+shift+numbers is still perfect. No problem with that.)
 
But maybe are there cons to such an approach... Opinions ?

Undo problems (Major): erased something in the filter text box and pressing CTRL-Z (to recover filter) undid something else (M)

Submitted by Armando on 2010/11/16 17:32
This has been mentioned once or twice already (I'll link the other threads later).
 
To summarize again :
 
1- I  erased something in the filter text box
2- So I pressed CTRL-Z to recover what I just lost...
3- And it undid something else... Something happened in the DB (mouse cursor changed to the hourglass).
4- The very annoying thing is that I have no idea what was undone because this happened after I had been away from my computer for a short while. So I immediately pressed ctrl-y but nothing at all seemed to happen. :(
 
 
This is not the first time it happens to me, and it doesn't happen only in that specific case.
E.g.

Wordwrap

Submitted by Jon on 2010/11/15 08:32
Certainly not high on the list of priorities, but I propose changing "Wordwrap" to "Fold." I think this would be more consistent with terminology used by  other outliners.
