Currently:

If a field in the properties pane has focus: i.e. select an item in the grid, then go to a field in the P.Pane -

Alt+Tab to another app & back again to IQ -

the properties pane no longer has focus - the item in the grid has focus.

 

This is a problem if you want to copy some text to paste into the field selected in the p.pane (Alt+Tab ->Copy; Alt+Tab ->Paste) or if you are using a clipboard extender for the same result - in both cases the pasted text goes into whichever field was previously selected in the grid instead of into the field selected in the p.pane.

 

I got caught out a few times this way in the last while (I'm no typist - I often have to look at the keyboard when I use it).

As reported elsewhere (Version 0.9.25PreRel26 is now released !)

Pierre : is there a reason why the tooltips are incomplete in the

 

1- properties pane (only the fields name is shown),

2- for grid cells

3- Grid tabs (the "Description" info, when fairly large, is truncated here -- sometime though, I'd like that info as it gives directions on how to use the grid)

 

If I want the complete info, I absolutely need to have the new notifications pane opened, but I don't want to open it all the time (especially when the properties pane is opened) as it takes too mush screen estate.

 

So, if possible  : can we have the complete info in the properties pane + grid cells + Grid tabs tooltips too (like for the fields headers in the grid)

 

 

 

P.S. : I understand that the notifications pane is the new display device for tool tips info, but please don't underestimate tooltips as such...

Has anyone come up with practical uses for  the new properties pane drag/drop?

 

Mantis 1002: Properties pane: Drag-drop to copy field values

 I recently purchased Office 2010, and now have Onenote 2010. Does anyone else use this in conjunction with IQ?  

It appears it could come in handy for quick sketches, saved in mht format to pull in. 

 

(And no, I'm not thinking of jumping ship anytime soon. I get a good deal through work on Office, and anticipate Onenote being available there someday (if I live long enough), want to get familiar with it, for when it eventually becomes available at work). In the meantime, it appears it may be handy, and might take the place of the sticky note program I mentioned.

 

Any thoughts?

I can't get the import field mapping file feature to work.

I imported a csv file into an IQ file, manually entered the new field names and saved a import field mapping file. This all worked fine.

In a different IQ file, I attempted to import a csv file with the same columns. I tried to load the saved import file mapping file but no fields were loaded.

 

By the way, why is it necessary to manually enter new field names since IQ already knows them (it shows them at the left and at the top of the import dialog. Why can't it automatically import the fields (based on user choice) and automatically create a grid with the fields as columns?

 

Thanks for any help

 

I am using pre-release 26.

 

Dropdown lists in the property pane do not seem to work for me. I can click on the item and see the down arrow, but that's it. If I click on the arrow to see the list to make a selection, nothing displays. It seems to freeze the property pane, as I cannot select any other are in this pane. However, selecting another item in the grid frees everything up. I can use the dropdowns poperly in the grid.

 I searched the forum for notifications & read what there was to read but I'm still puzzled by what this new pane does or how to use it. Can someone plse help me out? 

Numerous bug fixes.
