I recently got invited to a sandboxed version of Google Wave. While it is neat, it can get really out of hands when many people work on a wave. But Google deserved +1 for trying something different.

 

That got me thinking to use Google spreadsheets for wiki type discussions.

 

Pierre, on my machine I find the following happens quite often

 

I move from item to item but properties &/.or HTML data doesn't follow

 

HTML data that is imported as a new item is visible where ever focus was the last time the program was used, i.e. on a totally irrelevant item.

08/07/09 02:23 pm tested again using <CTRL>+<:LEFT><CLICK> + drag / drop onto 2nd TLI .  Sub item w html data was created.

However,

It was impossible for me to find the scroll point in the 2nd grid

After pasting to new location, all grid 2 items collapsed & focus jumped to first TLI in grid

 

IQ was able to do what I wanted, i.e.

I'm having trouble with the sortbox

in particular when using desc (which I dont normally use so I dont know if I'm doing something wrong)

 

I tried "desc Itemcreated" in the sortbox - I dont tend to be very patient but I waited a while - even after closing the grid the hourglass shows..

When working with projects and gantt charts - Is it possible to assign resources to task within a project so as to be able to see (eg colour change) when resources are inadequate for planned activities.

I'm thinking particularly of the situation when an individual may have several long and medium term projects on the go simultaneously, along with regular daily or weekly tasks - and only so many hours in a day/week/month.

It would be nice to visualise time crunches or potential bottlenecks when planning and monitoring progress.

 

I think what I want to do is have a way of:

Allocating a resource of x hours week over 6 days Eg up to 12 hours in any 1 day, but not more than 50 hours in any 1 week

Subtracting known commitments eg 4 hours every Wed, 3 hours every 2nd Thurs and 5 hours on any 5th Monday of the month.

Then subtracting known weekly commitments that have to be done, but not on any particular day eg 1

I would like to suggest that perhaps actually using rich text instead of html for note bodies could be advantageous. Perhaps you could make this an optional setting.

I sometimes insert Excel tables, or Visio or AutoCAD drawings into rich text documents. Using the native format makes it easy to edit the table / diagram and gives me full access to the program used to create the graphical / numerical parts of the document when I need to edit these.

It is easy to do the above in ancient programs such as Ecco and Keynote which allow me to do this. But to get the equivalent in InfoQube, I have to open the document in MS Word (and every time answer that annoying dialog about mht conversion), and then open the object in the program I used to create it. 

Pierre,

 

In at least three data programs I've used in the past (Zoot, Ariadne & ADM) there was a way to use the outline as a modified file explorer, i.e. the user could selected a folder in the program & ask the program to "register" (create a link) to all files in that folder. The process was generally very fast.

 

From then on, the user could find that folder in the outline w all files listed as sub-items. Clicking on the sub-item would open that file appropriately, i.e. within the program's browser or otherwise.

 

How can I do something similar in IQ.

 

For starters I'm thinking about this in conjunction with Scrapbook & writing files.

 

Thanks.

How do I set up IQ so that whe I use it for writing, the text in the cell is fully displayed, so I can scroll it. Now the text is hidden, and I need to hover the mose over it to see it. Again, I would like this to be gully displayed, and if it's too long, to be able to see it the rest of it by scrolling.

Thanks.
