child assigned to boolean field w/o inheritance option

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/10/06 12:28
Situation:
 
Contact list = boolean field
Properties: inheritance value -> sub-items is un-checked
Equations: hierarchy equation is none & blank
 
any item entered within Contact list grid is automatically assigned to 'contact list' field
so far so good
 
To get phone #, etc I find contact & create a sub-item within contact list grid
the child (sub-item) is also automatically assigned to 'contact list' field
 
Is this right?
 
I do want to be able to call up a contact & get the history of my interaction with them.
 
If this thread is in the wrong place, move it where it should be .... discussion perhaps
To me, it seemed like a bug but I'm never sure
 
Thanks.

w 3 panes open: outline, html, properties (form pane nested)
 
focus on outline
click <F11> outline pane zooms full screen
 
focus on html pane
click <F11> html pane gets detatched
 
focus on properties pane (w nested form pane)
click <F11>  properties pane disappears, i.e. form pane zooms
 
focus on forms pane (nested within properties pane)
click <F11> form pane zooms, eliminating properties
 
I think <F11> should toggle & be limited to the following:
 
zoom outline full screen, i.e.

Cannot dismiss repair dialog

Hi Pierre:
 
Using version G8 (sounds like a summit). The repair dialog used to have an OK button just like the compact dialog. These acknowledge completion of the process.
 
I don't know - I'm getting a bit discouraged. IQ is a wonderful concept, but right now there are too many idiosyncracies, too many work-arounds, too many useablility issues and too many annoyances I have to put up with. It is fun seeing what IQ can do, but I need to get work done. I know this is a beta, so I should keep my mouth shut. For now, it is  back to Ultra Recall (which I have never stopped using) and Ecco Pro. I plan to keep on using IQ casually and will continue to contribute what I can.

To be able to copy and paste (XML mode) ONLY items displayed in a grid (i.e. : meet source and filters)

Submitted by Armando on 2009/10/04 18:08
I think I've requested that a while ago. And I think it'd be very very useful and would take advantage of IQ's potential.
Hopefully, it'd possible.
 
Usage : I'd like to easily be able create "Outline templates" for different tasks, projects, etc. by copying and pasting them.
 
Let's say I'm working on a project and would like to create a template out of the organizational outline for that project. After filtering out all the project's specific info, display in a grid the main structure/skeleton of the project -- which is very easy to do if one identifies titles with a Yes/No field --  I'd like to be able to copy and paste that outline.
 
Problem
However, this is not possible at the moment.

Cursor problems in HTML pane

Submitted by Tom on 2009/10/04 13:22
Anyone else experiencing this in the HTML pane?
 
with HTML content:
the cursor often doesnt show where it should. It's sometimes a couple of letters behind - usually just slightly off though) making it difficult to select text or delete letters.
 
It's not noticable (or at least not a problem) at times - possibly with text that's spread out more but I'm not 100% sure.
 

To complete some operatons: Refresh, Jump between itmes, grids or program re-start

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/10/04 12:27
Sometimes one / all of these things are necessary to get something work right.
Is there a rhyme or reason for any of it?
What are the rules?
 
I've had copied data in an html pane change format from center to left just shifting between items
I've had data disappear / appear clicking between items
I've had shortcut keys stop working until program re-starts
I've had IQ stop functioning after deleting a large # of items
I've had IQ drop out completely on occassion
And there are other quirks as well...

Tutorial #1

Submitted by KeithB on 2009/10/03 18:48
Reference Developing a Tutorial IQBase for new users. Per Jerome's great start, this is my take on a 1st tutorial -- link to nonexistent node ID 1102 --. I'm considering it "complete".
 
Grids 1-3 were tested by my 11-year-old, who provided some invaluable feedback.
 
Observations:
 
1) it was fun to write, and it helped learn/reinforce some of the things I knew about IQ. (I really know my "enters" and my "ctrl-enters" now!)
 
2) the child pages in the manual were put in (quickly) for reference.  I used my normal working IQ, rather than start up a stock version.
 
3) I'm a little burnt out (with tutorial writing, not IQ of course).  Any revisions, feel free to update the zip file and upload it again; the system allows it. Else you can attach a renamed file.
