It wasn't like that. I think it happened with one of the latest builds. IMO, IQ's process should not get over 1-2% when the program isn't used.

Reference Developing a Tutorial IQBase for new users. Per Jerome's great start, this is my take on a 1st tutorial -- link to nonexistent node ID 1102 --. I'm considering it "complete".

 

Grids 1-3 were tested by my 11-year-old, who provided some invaluable feedback.

 

Observations:

 

1) it was fun to write, and it helped learn/reinforce some of the things I knew about IQ. (I really know my "enters" and my "ctrl-enters" now!)

 

2) the child pages in the manual were put in (quickly) for reference.  I used my normal working IQ, rather than start up a stock version.

 

3) I'm a little burnt out (with tutorial writing, not IQ of course).  Any revisions, feel free to update the zip file and upload it again; the system allows it. Else you can attach a renamed file.

I've been a little bemused reading this thread on the outline forum all the while thinking 'what's more capable & inexpensive' than IQ which hasn't even been mentioned. A shame.

Let's use page www.acorn-online.com/joomla15/index.php for this example

 

1.  select article area & <CTRL>C

2. open new item dialog <WIN>N

3. paste (or alternative) <WIN>C

 

vs

 

1. right click "InfoQube Copy Content"

 

which gets the format right but includes useless data

Hi Pierre,

 

1- ...Can't copy (ctrl-c) in html pane when MHT content is displayed

 

2- I often encounter a blank HTML pane when there should be something in there... Syncing problems again.

 

3- You told me that when there's an MHT file linked to an item but no HTML text in the DB anymore (because of the link between files and DB I experienced a few weeks ago), I just had to "save". But I can't save anything. I can just "save as". So all these files remain unsearchable.

 

 

So, not major bugs I guess, but important nevertheless.

Can this be done via a simple process? It doesn't seem so. I guess one could call it a form of 'hosting' very useful at times.

Am I missing something?

Is this a bug?    (I think it is)

 

Select the item field of multiple items

Say the items are:

 

File 1

File 2

File 3

File 4

etc

 

When you export to web, the result looks like:-

 

I have written before about the problems with multi line display. Until this is resolved, I have been pasting  each line into a separate item, then locking the items. For a few reasons, this is not ideal. Pasting as a single item is quite fast. I recently had a paper which contained 140 paragraphs (interpreted as lines - this is fine for me), but the pasting took forever (OK, longer than 10 minutes on a fast dual core machine loaded with memory). The last  time I encountered a program that was unusually sluggish  to perform normal tasks, I bellyached to the developer who improved the performance dramatically (Ultra Recall). With that one exception, I have not encountered a program that performed so poorly and maxed out  the CPU while chugging along. I havve some programs that are either very old (Ecco Pro) or based on very old code (Info Select) which  accomplish this and similar tasks in a heartbeat or two.
