Version 0.9.25PreRel6 is now released ! With an important bug fix

Submitted by Pierre_Admin on 2009/12/15 14:03
A bug was found which can cause you to loose the content of a grid cell (in particular, the item), so it is important to download the latest version (or copy the LatestBuild)
 
 
 
To trigger the bug:
  1. Enter some text in a cell and end editing (F2)
  2. Edit again but only change a letter with a Capital (i.e. change test to Test)
  3. The cell will be erased
Fixed.
 
It is important that all users install this fix... there has been very few issues that caused data to be lost, and we're quite proud of it, but this bug can cause you to loose some of your precious information.
 

Properties pane doesn't always sync correctly <SOLVED>

Submitted by Armando on 2009/12/14 14:29
- If I swish back and forth quickly between  2 items, the properties pane might "stick" and diplay the wrong item data.
- See also the problem with properties pane sync when adding items through add item dialog.
 
I'll try to come back with details on how to reproduce that, But that's pretty much it.

quick event entry

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/12/12 18:22
Akin to quick search <CTRL>+F
 
a  quick event entry to follow the following protocol
event + time  (am / pm) + location (@)
 
so user could open a quick event dialog <CTRL>+Q
like google calendar & enter
 
dinner w Pierre next sun 5-8pm (early bird special) @ iHop
and IQ would add this event to the calendar on the correct date
 
Google quick event understands
next saturday vs saturday, etc

While we're still on calendars, a couple of things from my files

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/12/12 12:50
Pierre, two calendar items for your consideration.

On my netbook, the 7 day weekly view is visible only by horizontal scroll. Nothing wrong w that per se but wonder if you think if auto adjusting columns might be an option for graphic calendar.

Second: allowing user to enter date in date drop down menu field via two enter clicks instead of focus click + down arrow click to see calendar entry dialog.

Default Selection Mode, Cell vs. Item (entire row)

Submitted by d bartlett on 2009/12/11 23:54
A few days ago, after executing Item/Select Item to select-hilight an entire row in an attempt to copy/paste that entire row from Address Book back into Address Book as a similar data row entry, some sort of selection default was altered such that now, when working within any grid and clicking on any cell within any row, the entire row is automatically selected-hilighted insted of just the cell.  Before the aforementioned copy/paste attempt only just the clicked-upon cell would initially be selected-hilighted, but now it's the entire row by default.  A ground-level result of this change is that I can no longer select a single cell and use keyboard Ctrl+c / Ctrl+V to do a simple simple copy / paste from one cell to another because the more complicated "What do you want to copy?" Menu gets activated instead.  How do I return to the former state where clicking on a cell selected-hilighted only the cell and entire row selection was accomplished

Live Links to IQ Grids (from MSWord, Excel) -- Comments

Didn't want to clutter up a Book thread, but must say I'm eagerly anticipating the Live Link capability soon to reach prerelease.
 
You may recall I was looking for an analysis matrix modeled on the Calendar. Should have figured out that Excel allows the user to place shape objects on the grid, with data echoed from cell addresses.  Now the cells will be populated with live data centrally maintained in InfoQube. Precisely what I was looking for. 
 
Consider a well-designed matrix like this one (just grabbed off the web), and suppose the descriptions were maintained in IQ:
