i.e. workspace divided into horizontal windows
grid 1 in upper window
grid 2 in lower window
 
didn't check if vertical windows has similar problem

This is per design. The load/save currently handles pane layout only, not the tab-workspace

Yes, I think that this would be more helpful. The panes are easy enough to shrink etc. But split the grid space, position the panes, the gantt, the toolbars... That is a bit long. So, in fact, IMO, everything should be saved : toolbar positions, grids, panes, gantt, etc. That way, a user can really set completely different workspaces for different tasks.
 
Opinions ?

it would be very helpful !
I close IQ reasonably regularly so as it can backup properly to dropbox - each restart involves setting up dual pane with a bunch of tabs etc.

Yes it would be nice.
 
>I close IQ reasonably regularly so as it can backup properly to dropbox
 
Why not put the backup folder in Dropbox, that way automatic backups and/or manual ones get synched without the need to close the current database.
 
I'm also planning to make changes so that the IQBase is no longer locked by the application all the time. 2 possibilities:
  1. Add a lock feature: IQ would blank out and request a password to resume, when locked, the IQBase would be free to sync
  2. Add a unlock IQBase feature: it would remain unlocked until a database I/O is required
Comments ?

well my IQ auto-backups are timestamped and tend to take up a lot of space. If you want to keep within Dropbox's free quota it's easiest to simply backup the database. It then has multiple revision versions, in theory at any rate.
Am I correct in thinking that currently nothing can copy the IQbase while it's in use?

Sounds good,
I dont fully understand #2 (does that mean it would then lock automatically?) but I think I wouldnt mind either way

True, but if you use dropbox, you can turn off timestamped backups and let it keep all changes to the backup file (.SNBKA and .SNBKM)
 
>Am I correct in thinking that currently nothing can copy the IQbase while it's in use?
 
No. The OS can copy the file, no problem. In fact, the current backup does exactly that, copy and rename the IQBase.

in that case I can probably use my backup programme to do local backups as well

The option bothering (prompting/interrupting) the user less is the best. In that case, I'm not sure which one it would be.
