Pierre, Here's the situation:

 

sort on item

1 item in list is a link but the item text begins w letter "J"

following items begin w A,B,C,D etc

 

sorting does not move link item to proper position between "I" & "K"

 

Edited 04/15/09 08:54 am: This problem seems to be another one of those weird little things that occur in IQ that are solved by closing & re-opening program. I run into these type problems, ex: shortcuts stop working, sorting, etc quite frequently as don't close IQ at the end of each days work. "Why don't you close IQ @ day's end", someone asked. "Because", I said.

Pierre,

 

On the Grid Toolbar - hopefully I am describing that correctly - the grid names are shown with the text sideways with the bottom of the text toward the left and the top toward the right. This is in contrast to the only other programs that I use with a similar vertical toolbar:  Microsoft OneNote 2007. OneNote 2007 has a very similar toolbar that shows the Notebook names in tabs down the left side of the UI, but with the text facing the opposite way. All other applications that I use that use a sidebar to the left side have wider sidebars that show the items in regular horizontal text.

 

 

 

At first I found the tabs in OneNote 2007 to be somewhat annoying because I was not accustomed to reading menu text sideways like that. However over time I have gotten used to it - well, at least as used to it as I am going to get, I guess.

Reference an old post, about having a bunch of grids, and finding them difficult to manage:    http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?topic=10432.350    (reply #351)

 

I too have 30+ grids I use regularly, and was looking for a better way to choose a grid. 

 

This idea hit me yesterday, after looking at 1.1.6.1.4.2.3 in the sample file (File>New, under Welcome, Links, Hyperlinks in the outliner, Examples)

 

I came up with an idea of using a bunch of

 

"This will open the Scratch grid with all <a [Addressbook]>your contacts</a> displayed    "    lines, and revising them for the nearly 30 grids I regularly use.

 

I then setup a vertical tab group, and  sorted by Item. Results show in the Scratch grid.

Codejock, which supplies many of the UI components used by IQ, has released a new version. One component which was significantly upgraded is the Calendar.

 

Two new features worth noting:

A new Calendar sample app can be found here.

 

In addition, yet another release is planned for June or so and should support days with variable column width and resizable column widths.

 

(after a long period of dev.

some most fonts refuse to show at 10 point in the grid (they revert to 9 point)

 

Arial Narrow

Garamond

Palatino Linotype

Toledo

and a bunch of other obscure ones arent working @ 10 point

 

In fact the only one I've found so far that does actually show @ 10 point is Arial

I tried Palatino via Grid > Options but that reverted to 9 point as well - these fonts are working okay in other apps

 

- of course for one particular grid I want to make the font 10 point - 9 is too small for reading a lot of items and 11 I find unnecessarily big/wasteful of space

I've been getting this error on this website quite often the last couple of days:

 

"Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression"

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the IQ User Manual

[quote]

Tried to install release 10 and got the following error message.

 

"Cannot load language file. Aborting"

After misreading -- link to nonexistent node ID 569 -- - I thought it was collapsible sections in Item field as opposed to here on the website

 

This would be a killer feature for IQ in the item field

I've been organising my notes in IQ and gradually working towards writing a little - so far I prefer using the item field to write in, what with mostly relatively short texts - but many starting to get too long I dont know where to go, how to proceed I mean.

This capability would allow me to continue using the Item field ...

 

I've been checking out some other writing software and really so far I  (naturally!) haven't seen any that come near the capability of IQ in terms of organising stuff but this would be a step towards making it more user friendly for actual writing

 

[edit] it could most simply be added as a button to the formatting toolbar for grid (I never use that so hadn't thought of it..)

Pierre, Some time ago you mentioned you had gmail working on your build. Can you tell me what your settings are?

 

Thanks.
