Hi all IQUsers,
 
I'd like to wish you wonderful holidays, filled with love and happiness.
 
I'd also like to thank you for your support in making InfoQube the most versatile information manager.
 
This last fall, I've been quite busy doing non-IQ related consulting (test software for RadarSat 3) and have not been able to make as much progress as I would have wished.
 
But 2011 will be the year of IQ v1.0 ! Stay tuned.
 
 
Pierre
 

auto assignment

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2010/12/20 11:23
I thought the following would work but it doesn't seem to & I don't know why.
Could someone explain the logic breakdown in this equation please.
 
Purpose
If I write any item that includes the word "MIRMA"
I want a boolean field named MIRMA checked off so I can easily create a grid later on.
(I guess I could do it by searching the entire dB for the word later on & doing a group assign & create a grid but anyway,)
 
What's wrong w the following
 
AM:MIRMA=HasKeyword(Item,"MIRMA",-1)|
E:MIRMA=|
 
TIA

When using 2 IQ instance : "Error reading data. Check the source, filter and sort criteria" (M)

Submitted by Armando on 2010/12/19 18:59
I get this error, from time to time, and absolutely nothing is wrong with any filter, source, etc. The only thing I can see is that 2 IQ processes are running at the same time and that it could cause some problem. However, I often did that and never had problems of this kind before. The problem seems to come from the sort text box -- when I deactivate the sort, the error goes away. Anybody else ?

Right click --> Hide column: wrong column gets hidden

Submitted by lucasd on 2010/12/16 22:45
Using 0.9.25I installed version on SP3:
 
When I right-click on a column and select "Hide Column", the wrong column gets hidden. Usually it seems to  be a column immediately to the left or the right of the one I have clicked on.
 
(The correct column gets highlighted when I hover the mouse over it --- it's just that a different column gets hidden.)
 
I should do some more investigation on this, such as experimenting with a sample database and playing with settings, but I thought I'd just mention the issue now in case anyone has experienced anything similar.

When grid is on auto-update mode (in manage grids -> view) the first few characters entered in a cell can disappear. (M)

Submitted by Armando on 2010/12/16 16:14
We discussed this in the past. I don't think it was ever added to Mantis or even here. This only happen when : 1- item is created 2- user starts typing fast and right after item creation. Here I loose 3-4 first characters: they're typed, then cursor moves back to the left, and caracters are erased. (I'm surprised nobody ever encountered this bug. I don't use auto-update, so it took me a while to notice it. Only on newish grid where the option is turned on by default did I notice it.)

Sorting problems

Submitted by lucasd on 2010/12/16 13:21
Hello all,
 
Using 0.9.25I Build 12/9/2010 on XP SP3:
 
I'm in the midst of some work and cannot provide a thorough report at the moment, but basically I'm having sorting problems. Although I can easily sort by item, I cannot sort by other columns, whether by clicking on column heading, using sort box, or (the other sort box -- can't remember the proper terminology for the two sorting methods).
 
I have tried closing and reopening. Nothing happens when I try to sort. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?
 
UPDATE: I created a new grid to sort the items I want to sort, and the new grid works fine. The one I can't sort in is my Inbox.

unhoisting to the previous state

Submitted by jsolka on 2010/12/16 09:10
When I display the search result in the current grid as hoisted, and then turn the hoist off, it doesn't get me back to the latest grid state, but actually it took me to the grid with all items closed. Is there anyway to go back to the latest grid state. When you use that feature a lot as I do, this is annoying. I'm using version 25C
Thanks

Properties pane : right click on a field, select Field properties : Field management dialog appears but "Item" field has focus

Submitted by Armando on 2010/12/15 19:33
As described in the Subject. Focus in the field management dialog used to be on the field which was right-clicked. Unless I'm mistaken... ? (minor)
