Hi Pierre,

 

At your convenience, would you mind giving a preview of what's in store in the 0.9.27 UI? (maybe even an early screenshot, once the programming begins?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Currently you can select an item by clicking in the # column

To move it using the # column (via Click and drag) you have to click on the actual number

 

 

Could this be simplified to the following (?)

I can see this might not be possible but it would simplify things quite a bit if possible

 

Is this working in 25a? I know I had asked before about the way an item can be locked (I like the way it is implemented under Ecco Pro using Ecco Extension).  My view is that it should protect the item from changes and from being moved, but others found this problematic. However in 25a the commmand seems to do nothing.

1- Create a new DB (Click on File-> New)

2- Open it.

3- Welcome grid appears and all kinds of items appear at the top. They disappear after a refresh

 

Seems to be related to the auto-refresh feature.

I receive an error when attempting to hide a field currently displayed in a grid.  The method I used to produce the error was to open the Displayed Columns dialog box.  Then I unchecked the field I wanted to hide.  When clicking OK to close the dialog box I get a Visual Studio error and the application shuts down.

 

I can hide columns by right-clicking the column header and selecting hide.

I had an interesting incident today when I moved to the 0.9.25a final.  Two fields that I was using appear to have switched.

 

In the image below, the fields Billable Hours and ProjectName are reversed in that the data for one column is under the column header for the other.  The field named Billable Hours is a number field and as you can see by the field being edited it has the up/down arrows to increment the value.  The ProjectName field is a text field with a picklist option.

 

 

 

I am trying to see how to correct this as.  I noticed this when I was attempting to rearrange the column order on the grid via dragging a column header name.  It is almost as if it moved the column header, but not the data in the col

In attached screen dump at the bottom of the screen you will see Pndg in the list of open tabs but you will not see a grid Pndg

This makes selection using the mouse a bit hard.

This is a stupid question, but I can't get sub items to display. I have filtered on a column and need to see the children of the filtered items. Tried  turning off the grid filter appliies to sub-items without success. Is this possible?

Same title of earlier post on this subject.

 

I'm bringing it up again because I still find it frustrating when I try different types of drag drop operations.

Sometimes I want to move

Sometimes I want to copy

Sometimes I want to work w multiple items

 

Today it took me 4 tries to drag a copy a single item to another location (child of another item in another grid)

 

Depending on the function, it appears that the cursor has to be in different places

and even if the user gets that far; i.e. figuring out or remembering what goes where

sometimes the function doesn't work.

 

I don't think it's a local issue with my machine, my mouse, my OS.

I just think it needs tweaking & I think the process has to simplified / unified if possible, i.e. always focus on item dot or item #
