Request: "create link for this item (+ copy to clipboard)" in context menu

Submitted by Tom on 2010/04/13 08:58
 
Idea is:-
 
ability to create a link to / for the selected item via the context menu & add it to the clipboard -
then I can simply go elsewhere and paste the link
 
e.g. for this item:-
ID = 7569  
Item field text = Sagelight Editor - Receipt - PayPal
 
that would be <a href=7569>Link</a>
 
even better would be if it included, say, the first 30 characters from the Item field
<a href=7569>Sagelight Editor - Receipt </a>
 
 
 
hope that's clear (and not requested before?!)
 

html doesn't always display w it's item

I think this has been reported before.
 
Today I created several new items (clipped data) saved as MHT
When I focused on the item (nothing displayed in HTML pane)
When I shifted to another tab & returned I could see the content
Tried again & added new items same way as above
Now that I had several items w data in html panes I shifted between items
content in HTML pane did not shift as I changed focus from one item to another

link leads to TLI instead of child

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2010/04/09 14:31
Steps to recreate

In grid 1
create an new TLI
Add a child
Add a grandchild

In grid 2
create a TLI
select TLI & turn it into a link to grid 1 > grandchild
<CTRL+K>enter grid 1 grandchild ID item > close

Click newly created link

Result
Scratch pad > grid 1 / TLI w flag indicating children
dbl click on flag > displays grid 1 grandchild w flag indicating children

So, there are two notes:

1. link leads to TLI rather than correct item
2. linked item flag indicates it has children (it does not)

Perhaps
1. is by design, i.e. to provide context. That I don't know
2. has been mentioned in other threads, I think Armando had a comment on improperly flagged items & I dittoed. This is an instance that I can re-produce.

HTML pane Navigation arrows (back - forward) : remain greyed out when navigating away from an non-embedded MHT file.

I mentioned that problem a while ago. I think it was fixed, but it's back again.
 
(Also : is it normal that the URL textbox doesn't indicate the address of the currently displayed web page, but stays blank ?)

calendar category colors don't always work as expected

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2010/04/06 13:14
User creates calendar entry, category color 1 > saves
User edits calendar entry, changes category color by selecting color dot #2 > both color dots remain in display area > save
Calendar entry retains first color
Re-edit calendar entry, select 2nd color > save
Calendar entry retains 2nd color as selected

Text field that adds a space at beginning of content (but only when first used!)

Submitted by Tom on 2010/04/05 13:00
 
Simple text field - no equations, etc.
When I create a new item and add text to this field (by selecting field & start typing), there is always a space added at the beginning
(If I go into edit mode in field this does not happen)
 
If I then edit this field - delete it's content & add new content - there is no space added (no matter how I add text)
 
 
I've tried creating new fields with the same settings (which = no settings - basic text field) and I cannot reproduce the problem
I filter on this field and items were disappearing from the grid as I was filtering for exact content ( Field="xyz" )
 
Pierre if you still have the empty file I sent you on March 17 I can tell you which field
