odd keystroke creating new item

Submitted by ThomR on 2010/08/20 12:31
Another forum post: I'm obviously craving attention ;)
I've got a Toshiba laptop which has its number pad incorporated into the letter keys, such that if number-lock is engaged, FN (function key) + M gives 0. Now, I use FN+ALT + these numbers to enter ascii codes, which have been working till recently. But now pressing FN+M (0), with or without ALT, has begun to create a new item, which means I can't enter any more asciis. No listing for this in Tools>Keyboard Shortcuts>View all Shortcuts. Can anyone replicate this or know how to get rid of this shortcut? Thanks!

any ideas for particular implementation?

Hi all. I've been wanting to do something with infoqube for a while, but can't seem to get my head around how to proceed, so I thought I may as well throw it out there and see if anyone's got more imagination than I. I use infoqube to take notes for my dissertation. I have a main grid with all my primary sources, and then I hoist each source as I work on it. My problem is that I have two different types of entries that I don't know how to combine: structural entries and note entries. In terms of structure, I like to expand each source into its main chapters as subitems, and then expand each of these subitems into their sections or arguments. But then I have a parallel interest in wanting to expand each item into notes on that very section. Sometimes this proceeds smoothly, namely when notes are on a given section which has no sub-sections.

A Little Addled by the Date Filter [5.2.2.1]

I only use the date filter once a month or probably less even - I've never fully come to grips with it
The manual page Date Filter toolbar is clear but missing some info and doesnt really explain it properly for a true beginner (or to me at any rate)
 
I know I could check out the following by trial and error but I dont really have a suitable database for checking this stuff, &, as I say, I just getting addled by it all:
 
( prob not important but let's say the source is ItemCreated )

Version 0.9.25PreRel30 is now released !

Submitted by Pierre_Admin on 2010/08/16 00:23
Well, well, this was supposed to be the official release of 0.9.25...
 
But I couldn't help myself and got some new features in, and will issue a last pre-rel.
 
The 2 "surprises" are enhanced undo and automatic grid updates.
 
Note that both are partial implementations:
  • Undo: The last field value change (and optional auto-assignments). All other changes cannot be undone (delete, moves). With this enhancement, if a field change causes an item to disappear from a grid (due to automatic grid updates), Edit>>Undo will bring it back
  • Grid updates: Field-value changes and new items now appear (if applicable) in other opened grids (shown on top of the grid). What is not implemented, is item parent change / add.

How do I create currency field?

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2010/08/15 19:17
I have the following Field settings
 
field = number
option = <format>Currency</format>
Control Panel > currency settings are $123.45 positive ($123.45) negative
 
 
So I thought I would be able to enter 16 & get $16.00
or I would be able to enter 16.00 & get $16.00
Neither happened.
 
I refreshed <F5>, closed re-opened grid, closed / re-opened program
Where did I go wrong?
