Thread for filter queries - I suspect I will have more!

 

 

Is it possible to filter for a field NOT having a certain text content

e.g. MyField is NOT "text here"

 

I cant seem to get it to work here...

 

EDIT/ it was on the filtering page (5.2.4 Grid Filter Editbox) but I had overlooked it...

IMO

copy / paste dialog is now beautiful, clean, clear, understandable

however

user has to know to put cursor on item # column to copy correctly

and

in # column OR item column to paste correctly

 

IMO

inter-grid, i.e. drag / drop item from under TLI-A > TLI-B works well (arrow graphic is clear, etc)

however

1) user has to know to put cursor on dot before item to drag item & it seems like a very small target

2) if user has to drag item past limit of pane, automatic scroll up / down is tricky to hit.  It feels like line is 1 or 2 px high which is too narrow to be user friendly

 

 

Here's a very basic question to which I can't find an answer.

 

Clearly the philosophy behind IQ is that IQ does what it is good at, but recognises that managing information always involves a range of tools. Thus IQ can be viewed as a very good way to manage "small" information things (items) and their inter-relationships. But it doesn't for example attempt to replace the filing system. Instead, you can "drop" file references into IQ and link back to them. And that's great, as far as it goes. It means that you have a link to information which is entirely managed by another application.

 

Sometimes it would be nice if IQ interworked more hand-in-hand with other apps. Thus for example I would love to see two-way mapping between outlines in IQ and outlines in Microsoft Project, Word and PowerPoint. It would vastly help towards Jan's dream of true IQ support for writers, for example.

I noticed this while searching for some items today which all started with a long hyperlink.

 

Instead of the blue underlined link the search dialog shows the html code for the link by default with a slightly strange result:

 

 

Once you click the items the html turns into the hyperlink and you can read them.

I start my day by opening IQ

The last / first grid that opens is my daily log (different from IQ journal)

I've attached a capture of this grid

I add today's date in "journal date" column

I move to Item column & add the day of the week

<CTRL><ENTER> to enter first sub-items of my day

program freeze

close / re-open program

proceed as normal for the rest of the day

 

This is now happening on a daily basis

It started a few days ago

 I came across InfoCube today and I'm thrilled by the potential of grids - it's what has always been missing from all the other options I've tried over the years.  (It is reminiscent of the flexibility of Lotus Notes in regard to adding fields and creating grid views.)

Hi all,

 

I have an issue on some computers where as soon as I try to enter text in the HTML Pane the application (IQ Portable) crashes.  Yet works fine on other computers.  Any idea what could be causing this and if there is something I can change to get it working on all computers?

 

The error log shows:

 

24/08/2010 5:37:57 PM 91 2 Main>OpenFile>OpenView>frmGrid_LoadView>OpenRS>frmGrid_UpdateView 24/08/2010 5:37:54 PM 91 Object variable or With block variable not set(l=0) Main OpenFile OpenView frmGrid_LoadView OpenRS frmGrid_UpdateView frmProperties_Form_Load

Pierre, I think it's terrific that you have consolidated how the user opens drop down menus or calendars,i.e. all via F2. 

 

However, here's my thought on that. 

 

<F2> is commonly used for editing command for IQ & other programs. And, in fact, that is its use in the grid. 

Now it is given another use

 

On the one hand, it's good because the user doesn't have to consider another command (easier). OTOH, it may be a bit confusing. 

 

Which leads me to asking: do you (or anybody) think <ENTER> might be a more natural alternative?
