Release Notes

Submitted by reesd on 2013/02/23 10:26
 I've added a Release Notes page to the User Manual at Release Notes. I basically just copied and pasted Pierre's last couple of updates over there. Since the changes are usually not reflected right away in the documentation I think the release notes will really help..
 
I'm hoping we can keep it updated going forward and eventually backfill it as well.
 
I was also thinking we could eventually use this page to also indicate when changes have been updated in the documentation. If someone does update the documentation to cover one of the items (or its already in there), maybe they can put "[documented]" at the end of it. Or maybe just switch it to italics?

searching IQ site with google

Submitted by reesd on 2013/02/23 09:40
 I thought I would share a tip on searching the site with google (or really any site). In Google search just use  site:www.sqlnotes.net/drupal5/index.php plus your search criteria, for example named filters site:www.sqlnotes.net/drupal5/index.php would search for named filters.
 
It's much, much faster than searching using the IQ search box. Note there is a slight chance a page may not have been indexed by Google yet.
 

My wish list for info qube

Submitted by david on 2013/02/21 02:50
 Hi Pierre,
 
I was thinking about how I work and wondering why there isn't a program that works the way I want to.  My wish list of a program would have the following attributes from these programs:
 
  1. Ecco:  Info Qube does a great job of representing this program.
  2. The Brain:  a very quick linking and graphical interface program that gives me a visual representation of the data set.  I would love to be able to set up categories and have different templates for those categories that I can fill in the information and then quickly link it to different categories.

InfoQube Development

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2013/02/20 12:07
Does anyone know what's going on in the development front? Pierre seems to be quite absent as of late. I see more people migrating to Zoot from Ultra Recall & the Ecco community. I'm happy for Tom Davis who seems to have a constant presence & loyal following but frustrated for what it means (or doesn't mean) for InfoQube. 

Behaviour on linking 2 or more files with same name:

Submitted by Tom on 2013/02/13 15:14
Hi Pierre, site is working great
 
I sometimes have to link two different files with the same name to IQ.
IQ very intelligently creates two different *.lnk files
It adds a '1' at the end of the second shortcut file name ('2' at the end of the third etc.).
 
My problem with this is that I'm linking files with names like F245.
First one is F245.lnk
Second becomes F2451.lnk
 
This is a bit of a spanner in the works for me, in that I am working with numbers between 1 & 3,000.
So F2451 refers to something completely different than F245.
 
So, I was wondering if you would be able to somehow different

Web server change. 24 hr down time - RESOLVED

Submitted by Pierre_Admin on 2013/02/09 10:48
Hi IQ Users,
 
This community web site performance has been quite poor in the last few weeks. In an attempt to improve this situation, we'll be changing web server over the week-end. Some down time is expected.
 
Stay tuned. The backup forum is always available, do not hesitate to use it !

Properties Pane and drop down fields

Submitted by Jon on 2013/02/05 13:37
I have several predefined drop down fields that work fine in the grid, but will not drop down in the properties pane. This is with pre-7. I tested the same database with 09.25W10 and the drop-downs in the properties pane work as expected. I think this is a bug with the properties pane in pre-7.
 
Pierre, do you see this?

Filter AND / OR help please :-)

Submitted by Tom on 2013/02/05 09:11
 
Site is slow as molasses in January today -
it keeps timing out so I'm unable to search.
 
I want to filter a text field (the Item field) for text Abc AND (text Def OR text Ghi)
Result would be items like
Abc Def
Abc Ghi
Abc Def Ghi
 
Filtering for Abc works fine with
Item like "*Abc*"
 
I've tried
Item like "*Abc*" AND ("*Def*" OR "*Ghi*")
Item like "*Abc*" AND (item like "*Def*" OR "*Ghi*")
 
I've tried one in the source and the other in filter (I'm filtering all items)
