I've been a little bemused reading this thread on the outline forum all the while thinking 'what's more capable & inexpensive' than IQ which hasn't even been mentioned. A shame.

Let's use page www.acorn-online.com/joomla15/index.php for this example

 

1.  select article area & <CTRL>C

2. open new item dialog <WIN>N

3. paste (or alternative) <WIN>C

 

vs

 

1. right click "InfoQube Copy Content"

 

which gets the format right but includes useless data

Hi Pierre,

 

1- ...Can't copy (ctrl-c) in html pane when MHT content is displayed

 

2- I often encounter a blank HTML pane when there should be something in there... Syncing problems again.

 

3- You told me that when there's an MHT file linked to an item but no HTML text in the DB anymore (because of the link between files and DB I experienced a few weeks ago), I just had to "save". But I can't save anything. I can just "save as". So all these files remain unsearchable.

 

 

So, not major bugs I guess, but important nevertheless.

Can this be done via a simple process? It doesn't seem so. I guess one could call it a form of 'hosting' very useful at times.

Am I missing something?

Is this a bug?    (I think it is)

 

Select the item field of multiple items

Say the items are:

 

File 1

File 2

File 3

File 4

etc

 

When you export to web, the result looks like:-

 

I have written before about the problems with multi line display. Until this is resolved, I have been pasting  each line into a separate item, then locking the items. For a few reasons, this is not ideal. Pasting as a single item is quite fast. I recently had a paper which contained 140 paragraphs (interpreted as lines - this is fine for me), but the pasting took forever (OK, longer than 10 minutes on a fast dual core machine loaded with memory). The last  time I encountered a program that was unusually sluggish  to perform normal tasks, I bellyached to the developer who improved the performance dramatically (Ultra Recall). With that one exception, I have not encountered a program that performed so poorly and maxed out  the CPU while chugging along. I havve some programs that are either very old (Ecco Pro) or based on very old code (Info Select) which  accomplish this and similar tasks in a heartbeat or two.

 

Steps to recreate:

 

1. select data

2. right click

3. select InfoQube Copy Conten

When clipping web content (or 'bookmarking' a webpage in IQ) it would be nice to have the option to create a link in the item field.

 

Lately I've added <a href=></a> to my clipboard extender's 'favourites'

but it's very awkward copying and pasting the url and then adding the text

 

I havent really thought this through (throwing it out there so-to-speak) but something like an add link tick-box which would make the url etc wrap around the test in the Item field ?

 

I couldnt find this in Mantis so will add at some stage unless someone knows of it lurking there somewhere

To make a long story short : I erased 2500 items this afternoon... Yup, I made a mistake. And discovered, much too late, that I had no "recent" backup -- I did move my backup folder at some point (not sure why I did that, but I did...) and IQ didn't create a new one to replace it...

 

Fortunately, yes, I had a 1.5 days old backup from my external HD -- ironically I usually backup twice a day, but not this time... :(.

Close enough, but it took me almost 6 hours to put back  the older DB close to how it was just before the disaster. :)

 

In any case, I wonder if IQ could :

 

1- create the backup folder (if it doesn't exist)

2- and warn the user if it can't backup for some (other) reason.

 

That would really help avoiding embarrassing situations...

 

Voilà.

Hi Pierre:

 

You had addressed this a long time ago. 

 

I would like to make my outline more manageable. Many items are multiple lines which makes navigation somewhat difficult. If displayed as single lines, many items appear blank or display lines other than the first. The first lines generally give an indication of what folllows, so their proper display is important.

 

I wonder if there is any progress or hope for a fix?

 

Thanks.
