This does not show up for me. And how do I open an editor?

What window? HTML? Item? When I press F11 the zoom in/out toolbar slides down.

Please advise so I can experience these new features :-D

Hi David,

You probably need to reset your menus and toolbars. Right-click on the menu and select customize

Also, it is sometimes a good idea to delete the toolbar customization files and start fresh. For example, tooltips were not showing on all my toolbars (they were showing on the menu commands). Deleting the files fixed it

To delete, close IQ, and in your user's folder, delete the menu.dat and menuhtml.dat files

This is by design. If the command is greyed, this means you don't have any Item Editor opened

I love it!

Can I somehow click to go to Word, since I use mostly MHT form? (I need the item editor for tagging and fielding, then an easy way to go into word for any text/picture edits)

When I first tried the item editor, it seemed like it would call up the secondary mht editor when I clicked the "document type MHT file..." area.

Once I did the toolbar resets, clicking doesn't seem to call up any mht editor.

I'll check. Pressing F2 while focus is on the MHT doc should call up your MHT editor

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

F2 works great. Thanks.

This is even more useful-look at the additional options: I can even see what folders it's assigned to, and fill in the notes field.

[quote=Pierre_Admin]

Hi IQ Users !

People often ask if and when IQ will ever reach v1.0... While this is certainly a valid question, I tend to compare IQ to Windows 10... a work in progress: a reliable environment that is both stable and evolving.

The next version is no different and v112 contains a number of changes, namely:

View > Grids will be renamed View > Notepads
Notepads can be shown in a variety of different ways, or views. Each view has advantages and disadvantages and together provide users with all the display options. Notepads have a new Default View property: Opening a notepad will open in this view by default.
Some of the notepad views already exist, others will be added. For example, grids can already be shown with or without a Gantt chart, and in Timeline, Map, Pivot table and Pivot chart views.
v112 will add a new view: Card View, a 2D space where users can display cards. Each card is like a good old 3 x 5 index card and shows the item name and Doc pane content.
Other views will be added later on, such as a calendar view and a surface view (not to be confused with the Calendar and the Surface which are not linked to any particular notepad)
Also new is an Item Editor, a floating dialog similar to the New Item / Clipper dialog which allows viewing / editing of most aspects of an item. User will be able to open multiple Item Editors. Closing and reopening an IQBase will restore these Item Editors helping users resume their work effectively.

I'm hoping that these changes, in particular the new Card View and Item Editor will help better manage the Doc pane content.

These changes do not affect the core functionality / database engine, so I don't expect any major issues for users.

Those that heavily customize the UI however, may find it tedious to repeatedly redo these customisations. Please hang in, I do believe that the changes will be beneficial.

So ... how do I bring up the Card View ?

The 'Item Editors' entry in the 'View' menu is grayed out except when an 'Item Editor' dialog is open. The 'Card View' option doesn't seem to have been implemented yet.

A few observations (nit pickings).

When opening an 'Item Editor' it occasionally looses some text if you have been entering text in the document pane and haven't pressed the save button, i.e. if you edit in the document pane and then decide to open the item in an 'Item Editor' then the 'Item Editor'may not contain all the changes that were previously made in the document pane unless you press the 'save' button (just occasionally).

When re-opening InfoQube or re-opening the 'Item Editor' used previously it opens at the same size it was previously but it opens on the same screen as the InfoQube main window. This is not a problem except if you had the 'Item Editor' open very large on the second screen, it re-opens on the smaller screen at its previous size which can be a little awkward.

The toolbar of the 'Item Editor' doesn't seem to be customisable yet.

There are two columns for 'Tags' and 'Fields' but the 'Fields' column is called 'Folders', is this a change in nomenclature? or is it a mistake?

On the whole this floating 'Item Editor' dialog is quite good but it duplicates the floating document pane to a certain extent. It does throw in a few extra functions and it is good to have all these functions available in one place instead of having to switch panes and I will certainly be using this new functionality.

8. New: Tags pane: Option to auto-sort tags by name. So far, I have not been able to find this option.

Hi !

It is a context menu of the Tags pane. Right-click on the tags pane

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

Thanks, I found it.

Hi IQUsers !

v112 was updated to v112Pre2 which fixes quite a few small bugs found in the initial release of v112.

Available as a patch or as a full download.

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

The Item Editor is in some ways better to use that the floating document pane, it behaves more like a window and can be maximised on a screen.

What would be nice to have is a customisable toolbar.

Great !

Its persistent nature is also useful. So if you close the IQBase, on re-opening, you can resume work on your items.

You can customize the toolbar. It is done in the Doc pane. Right-click on toolbars and show the ItemEditor toolbar. You can then customize it. You can create new toolbars. All toolbars with names containing ItemEditor will be shown.

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

I have now managed to customise the toolbar of the 'ItemEditor' thank you, however the drop down boxes for the CSS sheet and the HTML styles are both empty.

Confirmed, not all Doc pane features have been implemented yet.

It is easy enough though to switch to the Doc pane to make some changes, save it and return to the Item Editor (which will auto-update to reflect changes made elsewhere)

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

I realise this can be done by other means, I was merely pointing out that these things do not work just in case you didn't already know.

The 'Item Editor' is definately growing on me.

Regarding the customisation of toolbars, I have moved all my customisations into new user defined toolbars.

It strikes me as an omission that one cannot place seperators (vertical lines with no function) into a custom toolbar. Unless there is some way of doing this which is not apparent to me.

Hi Paul,

Great news !

Regarding adding separators, in customize mode, 2 ways:

Right-click on the button and check Begin Group
Left-click on the button and move the button to the right just a bit

Both of these are identical to good old MS Office 2000-2003 (pre-ribbon)

Hi Pierre,

The Item Editor is a nice addition to IQ; it packages a number of the important concepts into an easily understandable interface. I had expected the Document portion to be closer in functionality to the popup Document Editor but I assume that will be refined over time.

The major editing feature that I'm missing is the Collapsible/Expandable Headers. Looking forward to getting a better handle on how best to use this new feature. Keep up the great work.

[image]

[/quote]hi LeftEccoForIQ,

I suspect you have a 4k screen -- any chance you could reduce the width of that screenshot? it affects the display of the whole page forcing me (on a FHD screen) to scroll horizontally to read each line.

Thanks for your consideration,

Tom

Okay, here's a narrower version. Thanks!

Hi !

I'll do some tests in the coming days. In the meantime, perhaps you can try the trick that Paul published a few months ago:

https://pauljmiller.wordpress.com/2018/10/23/a-comparative-review-of-four-note-taking-programs/

HTH !

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

I can confirm that if I go into properties for the program and select the 'Compatability' tab and set the High DPI scaling for all users back to the default the text becomes fuzzy, the lines in the hierarchy tree become more visible and in the 'Item Editor' dialog I get the same scaling errors as LeftEccoForIQ.

I set it back again and the problem goes away.

But the lines between items in the grid and the hierarchy tree lines are back to being too thin even on their thick setting. But I don't mind, the sharpness of the text and graphics more than compensates for this.

v112Pre3 (Patch) is now online !

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

The Item Editor is making a not-so-subtle change to the <BODY> portion of my Documents.

<BODY bottomMargin=0 bgColor=#ffffff leftMargin=2 topMargin=2 rightMargin=2>

automatically becomes

<BODY style="FONT-FAMILY: Roboto Condensed; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; PADDING-TOP: 2px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 4px; 
PADDING-RIGHT: 4px" bottomMargin=0 bgColor=#ffffff leftMargin=2 topMargin=2 rightMargin=2>

I don't know where this is coming from but it shifts the Document several pixels to the Left and embeds a Font that should vary depending upon selected StyleSheet. Roboto Condensed is the default font the I use for my Grids.

Hi !

Confirmed and fixed in pre4, to be released today

HTH !

v112Pre4 (Patch) is now online !

Hi IQUsers !

v0.9.112 is now available. The new Item Editor was a lot of work, but I think it is a great addition to the InfoQube's UI !!

Have a great week-end

HTH !

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

The Item Editor had an issue when inserting a new line in the item text. This is now fixed. Same version number

v112 was silently updated with this fix

v112a is now online:

Fixed: Item Editor: Faster form load. Close ( X ) now enabled
Fixed: Item Editor and Doc pane: H5 and H6 were not working correctly

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

Congrats Pierre. The latest makes the Item Editor fully functional for my day-to-day purposes! There are still a few rough edges to be ironed out but it will really simplify my composition and editing sessions.

v112b is now online:

New: Item Editor: Option to sync panes with the editor or not
New: Item Editor: Ctrl + # formats headers (H1 ... H6)

HTH !

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

In v112c:

New: Item Editor and Doc pane: Improved Edit > Paste when pasting image and file references
Fixed: Item Editor: Navigate a hyperlink when holding the Alt key

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

It would be nice if the new Item Editor panel could handle Fonts and Styles like the document pane but alas at the moment the drop downs are empty.

This is probably just an oversight.

Hi Paul,

It's coming...

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

In v112d:

Fixed: Item Editor: Font formatting drop-down were not working
Fixed: Doc pane: Doc conversion now works correctly (HTML <> HML File <> MHT File <> HTML)
Fixed: Improved support for Unicode
Fixed: Improved support for trackpads / touchpads

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

Header Collapse/Expand also stopped working in 112c & 112d. Seems like a case of Whack-a-Mole at the moment; it will be great when you finally get the varmint cornered.

Confirmed for the Item Editor using a mouse click (holding the Alt key). Ctrl + (left / right) arrows still works.

Fixed in v112f

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

Version 0.9.112d seems to have introduced a change that is disasterous. Version 0.9.112c worked more or less OK.

Now the text is enormous, about two and a half times the normal text size (I measured it), for both the document pane and the Item Editor.

Clicking in the text positions the cursor at some unexpected location.

Scrolling re-draws the text with random repeated parts and gaps, the text becomes a mess.

The figure of two and a half times is significant because the screen scaling is set to 250%.

The screen shot shows the effects of scrolling.

Removing the compatability fix for high DPI screens fixes the problem but everything becomes fuzzy again.

Hi !

I isolated the issue. After running v112d, all previous version will also exhibit the problem. It has to do with an emulation setting I toggled in IE:

Local User: Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_GPU_RENDERING

Bad idea... as this does not play well with scaling

v112e will fix this

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

At least running without the compatability fix for high DPI screens makes the hierarchy lines more visible.

v112e (patch) is now online.

You may need to open > close > and re-open to have the issue resolved

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

Version 0.9.112e fixed the problem.

Thank you.

v112f is now online !

Hello Pierre,

I can't replicate the bug at this moment as I came to conclusion it's occurring when you're synchronising between two computers by using Dropbox-like sync (Dropbox, Onedrive, Google Drive)... and I'm missing the second computer now :)

The other bug that often occurred when I was synchronising between two machines, the same way as above, was the mess with passwords:

1. Gmail password was changing to some messed up characters, and I had to retype it each time I've made synchronisation. All the characters were changing, even the numbers.

2. I've once tested it with the app's main password - the bug existed in there as well, which means you're losing access if you password-protect your IQ and synchronise two computers as mentioned above.

Works here...

OK. Firefox won't download it because it's flagged as a "dangerous file". I got it with Chrome but when I tried to run it, Avast identified it as a threat and sent it for "interrogation". Should be free i about 100 minutes if its story checks out.

Love the column movement options. Took me a minute to figure out that you have to drag by the checkbox, not the column name box.

Wayne

You can from the name column, just click and wait a fraction of a second before moving. The cursor will change to reflect that drag-drop is initiated

Pierre_Admin

IQ Designer

OK, I see. It works a little different than the direct column drag.

1) In add column dialogue: click on row, keep mouse button depressed, and drag . If you release the mouse button, it selects the row, and drag no longer works.

2) In direct column movement, however, you can select the column, release the mouse button, and still go back to select and drag it.

Humm... I don't understand. Here, in the Column dialog, I can select 1 or more lines, release the button, then click again (wait half a second) and then drag

Other UIs are identical (Manage Grids dialog for example). Those that don't support multi-select, such as Manage Forms, don't require the half-second wait.

Pierre,

Thanks. It's nothing to worry about (from my viewpoint) but just in case you want details:

1) When I click on the column and drag it, it works every time, with no need to wait for the little box to pop up. In fact, I never knew there was a little box.

2) When I click on a row in "add columns" I cannot drag it immediately. I have to wait for the box to popup, and if I move the mouse even slightly during that time, the box will not appear at all.

In other words, the row drag is more finicky than the column drag on my system. Even knowing exactly how it works and what I need to do, it still fails for me pretty often because apparently I tend to move the mouse a little when I do the second select to drag.

Again, I don't think it's anything that needs fixing.

Understood, that's because columns don't have multi-select by drag. Like I said previously, the delay because multi-select was enabled
By default, the dialog will now be in single select mode, which can drag-drop without any delays. Use the context menu to enable multi-select

In v112q:

New: Grid: Dragging a URL to a grid sets the item text equal to the page title (same as the web page clipper)
Fixed: Home Page did not set the correct menu state
Fixed: Grid: Entering Edit mode using F2 or double-click did not unselect other items

I can never get the patches to work. I presume it's the same procedure as a regular installation: downlad zip; extract zip; run setup.

1) Firefox download: blocked as a malicious file

2) Chrome: downloaded zip but it was empty

3) Turned off virus protection: downloaded zip but it was empty

You must select Keep from the dropdown menu:

OK, there was no "keep" option but "open" worked. Firefox really doesn't make it obvious what's going on.
