Save and recall arbitrary/manual sorting

Submitted by Armando on 2009/06/20 13:19
There have been some discussions in the past about that. It's a pretty important thing since it can really slow down the work flow... Some users complain that their arbitrary sorting (often done between 2 refresh, when sort filter is on) is often disrupted by a refresh.
 
At the moment arbitrary/manual sorting has to be done (and is recorded) when the sort filter is off. However, this is not always convenient. It would be nice to be able to save a particular sorting -- even when the sort filter is ON.
 
Here's my proposed solution :
 
  1. Using a special field for "arbitrary" sorting would be the solution, IMO. (The simple manual/arbitrary resorting of a bunch of items could recorded in a separate field -- like the # column, if it could be used as a "field").

Bugs with 'File Link' dialog box

Submitted by Tom on 2009/06/19 07:02
Drag drop file to grid:
 
in the dialog box,
If I select the first option "Add file link to current item (static hyperlink)" the options in lower part of box are greyed out
if "Dynamic Hyperlink" is already selected (under "Item Hyperlink" - which it is by default I believe)
A dynamic hyperlink is made instead of a static one. This doesnt work if the item already has a hyperlink.
 
ie the first "What do I want to do" option should override the other hyperlink options but it doesnt

*Important* issue with pivots etc

Submitted by markfoley on 2009/06/17 23:16
There seem to be some pretty serious limits around number of records that can be handled in pivots.  I think it's because of length limitations of the querystring, and the fact the query lists every item individually eg In(123,124,125 etc).  Not sure what the actual character limit is, but replicate what I'm talking about with these steps:
 
a) Create a numeric field and put it on a grid.
b) Enter '1' as the value, cut and paste so you've got 10 or so records.
c) Go Grid->Create Pivot and just drag the field over so it gives you a simple 'sum'.  Sum should be 10, or whatever count of records is shown at the top of the tab.
d) Now, copy those rows as XML and paste them a number of times.  If you have, say, 30, it's fine and the sum keeps up with the number of rows.  Around 60 or so, your sum will top out which means not all rows are being included.

Default copy mode

Submitted by markfoley on 2009/06/17 05:50
When you select a set of rows and copy (eg ctrl-C) the default is tab delimited.  The most likely thing you're going to do with the data is paste it into a grid, so the XML option should default.  Otherwise the user gets the 'how do you want to paste' requestor when they go ctrl-V, and the paste will not always work seamlessly.
 
Also that copy requestor should note when you would want each type ie Tab delimited should say (for pasting into other applications) and XML should say (for pasting into grids)

Bugs: MHT editing, MS Word

Submitted by markfoley on 2009/06/17 02:12
Seems a bit strange:
 
a) The word instance appeared minimised rather than at front.
 
b) The font changes to what word says is "Normal (Web)" but this is different to the font in the HTML editor
 
c) It defaults to double spacing for some reason (perhaps this is because I had put a bulleted list before hand, this may be the same bug as my old div vs <p> discussion
 
d) I clicked close on word, 'Yes' to save.  But in IQ the extra text added in word had not appeared, even after refreshing.  If it can't be the latest version it should be removed/ghosted with a word icon.
 
e) As may have been discussed previously, after this exercise you can't edit the doc in the HTML window.  If this is unavoidable/intentional, it should again be ghosted out and/or show a big 'Word' button on it to suggest you must enter word again to edit it.

IQ disappears when "clipping" from browser using the "copy URL content" in add item window.

Submitted by Armando on 2009/06/16 21:34
Sometimes, when using the "copy URL content" option in the add item window, IQ can disappear completely (there's not even an icon in the task bar !) for a while and it almost looks as if it crashed (a look at the task manager shows it's still alive though).
1- The task bar Icon should still be there,
2- And if it takes a long time to download a page, there should be a dialog telling the user that everything is OK...
