Is this a "refresh" bug?

Submitted by PIMfan on 2009/08/24 12:35
I was playing around with the latest InfoQube version and so was doing some things that maybe I shouldn't have....
 
I noticed that if I created a grid, a custom field, and then changed the field and/or grid name, this would result in errors.  Listed below are the steps I took.  Can someone repeat and tell me if the red outlined areas are issues or not?
 
Steps to recreate bug:
  • View --> Manage Fields
  • Create a new field called "Projects".

Hi Pierre,
 
As one who is struggling with IQ (and bumbling through this forum writing duped posts )  I have to say the dilution (Read: "improvement") of InfoQube's "this is way too over-the-top" of a learning curve" reputation is very important to keep user's that "testdrive" IQ. 
 
I am persuaded a fresh-out-of-the-box intuitive, straightforward (Read: "familiar") ability to create/save a simple text/RTF "document" accompanied by an immediate no-frills cross-linking and tagging  functionality would go a long way in providing noobs (like me) the necessary "training-wheels" that would allow one to stay upright until one can get their balance with InfoQube.

HTML/RTF Text Disappears, but Reappears on Mouse-Down Event (See: Mantis #784)

Hi,
 
I just discovered this board AFTER I entered a bug report.  Anyway here is the body of what I submitted on Mantis #784...
 
     While typing my "journal" of experience, all two days of it, I looked up to see that a whole line of the text had "disappeared??" and left a blank line across the RTF Editor window.

How can I create a simple note and cross-link the contents?

Hi,
 
I am making my third, but determined attempt at utilizing (dare I say, "master") IQ.  I need some help and I beg your indulgence for this community's forbearing assistance. 
 
My health has dictated that I begin to consider the preparation of my memoirs  I believe that InfoQube has the potential to craft what I am after in this endeavor.  The assistance I desire is...
  • to simply open a note pad and record my thoughts at a whim...
  • to cross-link various items in the notes as required...
These two things will serve me presently and will allow some utility with the program while my perceptions of IQ attempt to gel.
 
Thank you in advance,
 
Calvin

Discussion about IQ's treatment of item field(s) auto-assignation in relation to the grids' sources

[SORRY  : multiple edits : problems with the English language this afternoon...]
 
This thread follows up a discussion started in the Grid Source EditBox thread from the manual.
 
I'll just continue from there...
 
=========================
 
I understand your point, but a similar argument could be made for the "reverse" situation (where a TLI in a grid with a single source is demoted and a that same TLI disappears from another grid with an "AND binded fields" source) -- and that's why I'm having troubles with IQ automatically removing field assignation in the first place (an opinion you are somewhat corroborating in your example).
 
Following your example, the reverse of is also true :
 

Make Thunderbird extension compatible with PostBox

Submitted by shatteredmindofbob on 2009/08/19 16:48
PostBox is an incredible proprietary fork of of the Thunderbird project. It provides a whole lot of functionality missing from Thunderbird and actually gets threaded conversations to work properly.
 
Only downside is that it isn't 100% compatible with Thunderbird extensions, which apparently require a small modification to work (according to the web site)
 
So, assuming this page is truthful and it's not that big of a deal, I'd request a compatible extension for PostBox.
 
Thanks.

possible problem w date type field w certain settings -- needs to be confirmed

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/08/15 15:40
Steps to re-create:
  • create a new field, type = date
  • Field name = name_1. Example: Publication Date
  • caption (in grids) = name_2 Example: PubDate
  • caption (in properties) = name_3 Example: PubDate
  • no other special settings
  • refresh and / or close re-open grid / program
Result: user cannot enter date value, i.e. calendar does not appear & entry point becomes 'frozen'

On holidays...

Submitted by Pierre_Admin on 2009/08/13 23:21
Hello all IQUsers
 
I'll be on holidays from Aug 14th to 23rd incl. and so I won't be very active on this forum... but active in a different way. With a group of 7 others, I'll be cycling on Virginia's beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway.
 
I hope everything goes fine with this community web site and with the new release (0.9.24E)
