HTML pane should remember your place

Submitted by WayneK on 2014/07/31 08:52
I've created a rather long list of notes in the HTML pane of an item, and I'm copy/pasting additional material at the end.  Each time I leave the item and return to it, the view is re-set to top of the list, and I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to add my next notes.
 
The HTML pane should remember your position and not return the view to the top every time you return.  This should be the default behavior for any situation like this.  For example, if you're reviewing a list of notes, it should keep the position where you left it so you can resume reading where you left off.
 
I thought maybe it was only doing this when I was viewing the HTML pane without doing anything inside it.  I could see how it would be difficult to keep track of the scrollbar position.  But it occurs even if I've activated the pane and am in the midst of typing something.  If I leave the item and return, the view positio

Need advice on images vs pdf's in HTML pane

Submitted by WayneK on 2014/07/30 10:31
As discussed on other threads, I've been pasting images into the HTML pane using FS Capture.  This is handy when taking notes where the source material has tables, graphs, etc.  It's nice to be able to immediately see the image inside InfoQube rather than creating a link that launches the graphic in another program.
I'm concerned about whether this approach is viable in the long run.  I'd appreciate any opinions on this.
 
1) Is pasting a lot of images into InfoQube going to cause problems?  Are my databases going too get big and load slowly or become unstable?
 
2) Would it be better to display pdf's in the HTML pane instead (Menu>File>Open)?  This isn't as convenient as copy/pasting images directly but it has a nice advantage in that I can mark up the pdf files using a pdf editor I like (PDF Revu).  I've tested this and it seems to work well in InfoQube, so far.  If I make change

Improve Copy / paste

If you copy text from an outside source and paste it in the HTML pane, it retains the formatting from the source.  This creates extra time-consuming work because you have delete unwanted spaces and change font styles and sizes.  I'm not that particular about fonts but it quickly makes your notes look like a disorganized mess if they're in a random assortment of font styles and sizes.
 
I have a suggestion which would help users avoid a lot of tedious re-formatting.  In OneNote, when you paste an item, you're given the following choices:
 
1) Keep source formatting
2) Merge formatting (ie change formatting to match the existing formatting where you're pasting the text)
3) Keep text only (removes any images in the copied material).
 
The first two would be big time-savers, I believe.  The third one would be nice, I guess, but not as important.
 

HTML Pane Zoom is buggy... Any users of this feature ?

Submitted by Pierre_Admin on 2014/07/29 14:15
Hi IQ Users,
 
The HTML Pane Zoom appears buggy for some OS and IE versions (IQ HTML Pane uses the IE editing engine)
 
Specifically, these 2 bugs have been found:
  1. Cursor for some fonts is not positioned correctly
  2. Image resizing is not possible (Win 7 and up)
Are these features really useful ? Can they be removed ?
 
 

[FIXED] in the advent of a crash/abrupt closing, IQ chooses to restore old layout instead of the one just saved

Submitted by Armando on 2014/07/29 14:04
 Steps:
 
1- Configure IQ so that it creates a backup every 5 min.
2- Create layout  (a)
3- After first backup (5min), change the  layout (b) and save it.
4- Before next backup, forcefully close IQ (using taskmanager) and reopen it
 
--> Layout "a" will be restored, not layout b, even if it was saved.
 
IMO IQ should determine latest save and restore the newest layout. (Otherwise it defeats the purpose of saving the layout manually to avoid exactly that situation... falling back on an older layout)

Image sizing problem in HTML pane

Submitted by WayneK on 2014/07/28 09:16
When I paste an image in the HTML pane, It's often necessary to resize it because it comes in too large vs the surrounding text.
This is done by selecting the image then grabbing the handle in the lower right corner and dragging it until I get the desired size.
 
Sometimes when I select the image no handles appear, making it impossible to re-size it.  Other times, the handles appear but when I try to re-size the image it does a variety of weird things like changing shape or becoming detached from the cursor drag point and getting bigger when it should get smaller.

Table re-sizing problem

Submitted by WayneK on 2014/07/28 08:30
Table re-sizing isn't working well for me.  You should be able to re-size the columns and rows by hovering the cursor over the appropriate line until it changes to a double-arrow.  Then you drag the line to where you want it.
 
It's difficult for me to get the double-arrow icon to appear the way it should.  The cursor has to be in just the right spot then many times the double arrow will flicker on then immediately go off.  Other times it never shows up at all.
 
I'm using release 29a.

Losing work in HTML pane

Submitted by WayneK on 2014/07/26 17:16
There appears to be a bug related to images in the HTML pane, at least on my system.  I've been taking notes today.  Sometimes I find it easier
to do an image capture using FS Capture and then paste the image in the HTML pane.  A few minutes ago I found that an image I'd pasted earlier was gone.
Then I found that all the images I'd pasted all day are gone.
 
I've confirmed that whenever I paste an image in the HTML pane, move to another item, then return to the first item, the image has disappeared.  Restarting InfoQube did not fix it.
 
I have to admit I'm growing increasingly frustrated with losing work in InfoQube.  This is just the latest example.  In an unrelated incidenI earlier today, I created a subtopic and typed in some notes in the HTML pane.  I went on to another item to work on.  When I looked down, the previous subitem and all its notes had disappeared.
