New Expand / Collapse Symbols

Thought I may as well start a thread seeing as there's a few related comments scattered around the place...
 
I like the new [ + ] and [ - ] symbols used for items with subs.
They are improved in the latest build (W10).
I also like the contrast between the [ + ] symbol (emphasised) and the [ - ] symbol ( ...what's the opposite of emphasised )
 
The [ - ] symbol is however a bit lost at times, especially with coloured items
 
 
OTOH, the + symbol is too strong IMO
 
Ideas:
  1. Reduce the strength of the [ + ] symbol - maybe by making the arms shorter
  2. Em

 Hi iQ Users,
 
This are moving swiftly here at the iQ Headquarters... 
 
So, I'm happy to say the the v0.9.26Pre-Rel1 will be soon available.
 
This version is centered on Calendar enhancements. First step in this direction is a brand new UI to create / edit events, very Google-Calendar-like.
 
We'll keep updating this thread as information becomes available.
 
 

Annoyances (and possible bugs) when adding sub-item

Submitted by Jon on 2012/04/02 09:11
This behavior has changed. I hit enter to create a new item I then use tab or Alt right to create a sub item. The parent immediately collapses rendering the newly created sub item hidden. I must then take the additional step of expanding the parent. Unless I have done something wrong, this interferes with the  way one would normally outline. I think this is a bug.
 
EDIT: I also see that the first sub item created is not numbered correctly UNLESS another sub item is created after the first. For example, the parent is numbered 3.1. The first sub item is numbered 3.2 unless I create another sub to follow it.
 
EDIT #2: There are other problems relating to the display. If my grid fills the screen with items and the last item has expanded sub items, contracting that last parent causes it to go off screen at the bottom. I have to scroll to get to it.

images in html window

Submitted by woodworker on 2012/04/01 10:12
Hi Pierre,
 
Problem One: I have been using InfoQube regularly to keep notes for my accounting classes. I have been inserting images into the notes I am taking. These images often refuse to display after a while, sometimes minutes later, sometimes days. The only thing I get is an empty display box with a red X (and the word "image") in the upper left corner. I couldn't find anything in the Options dialogue to remedy the problem. This problem is consistent. Is the image gone or is the data just hiding somewhere? I'd sure like to get the images back to where I can see them.
 
Other than this, InfoQube works quite well as a note taking application. I am pleased with how it is able to help me organize things.
 
Problem Two: Not a bug... Is there a way to save the interface layout I create with a file?

windows tile vertical not working

Pierre,
 
I downloaded 0.9.25w9 and gave it a whirl. Noticed that  window tile vertical, window tile horizontal, and cascade are not working. I use windows tile vertical to create my "desktop". Could you include the windows menu by default instead of having us add it manually?
 
Also, the forum log in is still forgetting my password. I have to reset my password every time I log in.
 
Last of all. This is not a bug but an aesthetic comment. I don't care for the appearance of the new expanding item symbols, the + and -. Perhaps a rotating triangle (not too small). I realize the EccoPro dots didn't actually do anything but they had a certain appeal.
