Broken PDF links

Submitted by WayneK on 2019/03/23 19:25
I'm finding a lot of my links to pdf files are broken (files won't launch).  I create the links by dragging the file into InfoQube and selecting:
 
create a new item
link should point to Shortcut to the file
hyperlink type: dynamic
link storage: file link fields.
 
I thought these settings would create links that would find files even if they've been moved or had their names changed.  Do I have the settings wrong for accomplishing this?  Trying to figure out what's going wrong.

Some suggestions

Submitted by LeftEccoForIQ on 2019/03/23 18:27
  1. Personally, I find the auto hide button on detached tabs too small for convenience. Because it's right next to the 'close' button, I often hit that button instead by mistake.
  2. Auto-adjusting date filters dependent on today's date: Could you make it possible to have a date filter for a grid that is always set to something like 'today + 30 days'?

Bug collection (several weeks' worth)

If any of these descriptions aren't quite clear, I'd be happy to illustrate with screenshots / videos:
  1. The first v112 or v111k added a space character at the beginning of the title bar caption. (So now it's " InfoQube..." rather than "InfoQube..." - I noticed because it broke some of my IQ-related Autohotkey scripts.)
  2. With the IQ window docked to one side of the screen (shortcut Win+Left/Right in Windows), the in-place editor for grid items refuses to work (editing starts briefly, but then IQ jumps back to grid selection mode).
  3. The red and white 'close tab' buttons that appear when hovering over tabs with the mouse cursor will linger on top of other programs' windows in a ghostly fashion when quickly changing to another window after one of the buttons has popped up. (Maybe this is system specific?)

Always hide fields

Submitted by WayneK on 2019/03/22 09:59
Is there a way to set a field to  load hidden?  I couldn't find a setting in the fields dialogue.
 
If there isn't, consider this a suggestion.  I have a number of fields I always want hidden, and it's a pain to have to do that manually every time I create a grid.
 
An equally good alternative is my previous suggestion that the "load columns" command should recognize hidden columns (right now they don't).

How do I get the document pane to show in the new item dialogue?

Submitted by Hilary on 2019/03/21 18:08
 The help page for the new item (win+N) window shows 'item text' at the top, and 'doc pane content' at the bottom.
 
When I use Win+N, I get the new item dialogue with just the 'item text' field and no 'doc pane'. How can I get it to show?
 
(By the way, this is my first post, and I hope I'll be able to log back in here again. The 'edit' tab on the 'My account' screen has no fields to edit, only a submit button, so I can't change my password as instructed. So in case I can't log back in, thanks in advance for any replies!)

items order

Submitted by Pavel on 2019/03/21 06:02
Hi there,
It seems to me that between sessions the order in which items (TLIs) are listed changes slightly, i.e. without me interfering I seem to find some before others that I'm fairly sure I wrote earlier. Or am I imagining things? What is the default behaviour as to listing order of items?
 
Thanks
Pavel

Copy, Paste

Submitted by WayneK on 2019/03/18 16:56
Could someone help me with what should be the very simple operation of copying an item with its subitems and pasting it into another database?  Just want the text to paste with no other field info required.
 
1) Select TLI (or select TLI and subitems - I've tried both)
2) Copy Special> 6 (selected items and their subitems)
3) Go to other database, select empty cell
4) Paste (ctrl-v)
 
Results:
 
a) A blank cell
(dialogue appears at bottom that says "Paste - 1 items were copied "  Why is it talking
about copying during a paste operation?)
 
or
 
b) A cell filled with HTML code
 
I've tried multiple combinations of copy / paste options, and read the manual, but still can't get it to work.
