It happens on both my computers - at home & at work. I can't close the column filter, and then it freezes, and sometimes whole IQ freezes, or even windows. Also, the column filter "as you type" works a bit slowly - is ther any way to make it faster.

1) what is the advantage of having a date field for dates as opposed to a text field -

I use the format YYYY-MM-DD so it sorts correctly as text or date. To me the advantage of having a text field is that I can, say, add

"2009-04"  without giving a specific date - of course that may screw up the sort, I'm not sure

or

"2009-01-20ish"    (!)

 

2) I want to ask how to convert fields but gotta figure out to-what so I'll wait see the response to #1

 

The problem is -

if I try and add a (url) link to an item, sometimes I click in item field, it goes into edit mode - THEN I right-click & select add link

what happens is that the item text doesnt show in the "Hyperlink text" box (but of course I dont notice this)

 

so I get (in edit mode)

ITEM TEXT<a href=http://url-address></a&gt;

which simply shows as:-

ITEM TEXT

and isnt a clickable link

 

so,

you could call this user error but ideal situation would seem to me to be that the "Hyperlink text" box would automatically show the item text (?)

unless

you want to allow item to be added to selected text in item field but that doesnt seem to work here (could be a nice option too?)

-

When I try to add a link to selected text I get (first in edit mode):-

Hi Pierre,

 

I would like to know the technology used to develop IQ and any third party libraries.
 

I can see that you'll are using codejock.

 

I am a developer myself and was wondering if I could help out in the development itself. Since looking at the roadmap, it seems that there are some features that

users would like (me too), but have been mentioned as "won't fix". I was thinking maybe I could work on them.

 

Regards,

Sean.
