Potential Conflicts with multiple detached Document Panes

Submitted by DragonGem on 2018/09/29 17:29

Just discovered the BROWSE Mode button in the Editor!! That makes some of this discussion somewhat MOOT! Should have known that Pierre wouldn't miss something so obvious.

There are still a few situations where a single Document can have multiple Active Editors as described below and the danger of losing edits still exists. But Browse Mode makes things  much easier to handle. I would like an OPTION setting (General or Database-specific) where Editors are ALWAYS initialized to Browse Mode. There should also be a way of setting Shortcut Keys for Browse Mode and Lock-To-Item; I looked but couldn't find those commands in [Tools] [Keyboard Shortcuts] [Customize]. 

The problem with IQ locking up when attempting to DRAG an embedded Editor OUT of a free-floating window is also very real. There should be mechanism to DETACH Editors more easily.

Field Properties Editor hijacks FOCUS away from the main IQ window.

 I'm not sure whether this is actually a Bug or a Feature that is "Working As Intended" or maybe "That's Life Buddy, Deal with it."

I really like that I can keep the Field Properties Editor open while still interacting with my standard Data Grids. This feature is extremely useful when creating and organizing multiple new fields and when fine-tuning SQL queries and Auto-assignment Rules. Unfortunately, the Editor window frequently hijacks FOCUS away from the main IQ window. The result is that you can no longer move Grid Columns around or use cursor keys or F2 while editing grid data, etc.

First run on installation different from subsequent runs !

When installing a new iteration of InfoQube, when you get to the final dialog box there is a checkbox which says 'Launch InfoQube'.  If you leave this box checked then InfoQube is run when you quit the installation procedure.
 
When run in this way the graphics are pin sharp and much clearer.  When you run it from the desktop the graphics although somewhat sharp are less sharp than on that first run.
 
It is not the first time it is run.  If you uncheck the box and finish the installation procedure without running InfoQube then the first run after installation is less sharp.  There is something different about being run from the installation procedure.
 
To put this in perspective I have a laptop with a very high DPI screen.
 
Below are two copies of the same section of screen the first is from a normal run of InfoQube, the second is from the run when v109g was i

HTML Pane Settings

Edit: I'm going to attempt to learn to modify the HTML pane again. Once I do so, how do I stop my changes from being overwritten?
 
Thank You

Adjusting Image Size in Document / HTML Pane

Submitted by DragonGem on 2018/09/22 14:24

 I really love the capabilities of the Document / HTML pane. I use the Nimbus Clipper to do most of my web page captures (it's Capture Fragments capability is awesome) and pasting directly in IQ works beautifully. The one feature that I find lacking is the ability to quickly resize captured Images. Rather than having to use the mouse to manually resize each Image, I would appreciate the ability to right-click and select a desired pixel width or size %. I like to keep the images as small as possible but need to quickly expand them as required.

I have a similar suggestion for importing Image Files. When selecting the HTML Pane as the Link Storage, there could also be a default Width setting which would simply add the "width=xxx" directive to the <img> tag.

Thanks for your consideration.

 

Issues with Import of image files so that they preview in the Document Pane

Submitted by DragonGem on 2018/09/22 13:59

 Version: 0.9.109f

Used Drag & Drop to import Image files (jpg, png, gif) into an Assets grid with the following Linkage settings:

#1 : Minor : Import allocates Grid Row Height based on the size of the Image; F5 Refresh fixes this so hyperlinks show as standard text rows.

#2 : Medium : Fully Erasing the Grid Rows does NOT remove the .lnk files from the SNDB.Files folder.

#3 : Major : Inconsistent execution of hyperlinks calling default Image Viewer. Clicking the hyperlinks for the newly imported Grid Rows usually calls my default image view (IrfanView) the first time. Subsequent clicks are less consistent. Selecting a Grid Row by clicking on the # column causes the hyperlink to no longer function. The images still show up as expected in the Document Pane. Double-clicking does nothing.
