Where can I review database error messages?

Submitted by lucasd on 2014/07/25 09:30
A pop-up message appeared and then disappeared in IQ so quickly that I wasn't able to read it carefully, but it said something about a database error in reading the data for an item, and it recommended doing a database repair. How can I review this message? Are such messages logged somewhere? I checked "ErrorLog.txt" and it doesn't appear there. Is there another log somewhare, or is there a way to activate such a log?
 
Thanks,

Database repair

1. Go to the Tools menu and start a datbase repair
2. Dialogue opens. Click repair IQ database.
3. Another dialogue opens showing that the repair is running.
4. Repair completes. Dismiss the second dialogue box.
5. The first dialogue box remains. I would expect it to close when dismissing the repair completed dialogue is closed.

Export

Is there any way to export to Ecco Pro? Columns need to be included. CSV files will not suffice because the outline structure is not preserved.
 
Thanks.

Properties pane

Hi Pierre:
 
Is it possible to get the properties pane to stop scrolling to a new location every time I make an entry in all fields? The return to thee top is counter-productive and disorienting. I know this has been mentioned before and I think it was supposed to be fixed.
 
I can buy a boat anchor if that would help.
 
Thank you.

Hi Group, Been gone for a while but keeping half eye on IQ development. Would appreciate it if someone could update me on a single item: 2 way sync between IQ & Google calendar. Thanks. Jan

Newbie problem with Field Item and Checkbox for Done

Submitted by Gerard on 2014/07/23 06:44
Hi,
 
Short introduction: I am a newbie. That is to say, I have been interested in IQ for about five years, tried it quite a few times, but the learning curve was just to steep for me. Also I was too occupied with work to be able to invest a lot of time in study. All the same, I could see that it is a very powerful piece of software.
 
Recently, somehow, It suddenly all fell into place. I could see what it is all about. Maybe because I had been playing around with Ecco, which I did not know before, but which is so similar.
 
It was probably not wise, but I started to move all my current work and projects to IQ. Not wise, because though I get the basics, all the advanced stuff is a bridge too far yet. Well-known problems, as I found out in the forum, such as disappearing items because of Source and View settings, manual sorting of items, and other stuff.

Hi IQ Users,
 
In this next release (v0.9.26PreRel29a):
  • New: Grids: If multiple items are selected, opening the editor (F2 or Shift+F2) will update all items (before, only the focused item was updated, to act on multiple items, one had to use the property pane)
  • New: Grids: HOT tracking/hover of the rows/items. Set tracking color in Tools > Options > General > Grid. 0=disabled.
  • New: Grids: When clicking on an email field, if multiple emails are found, users can select which email(s) to send to
  • New: Gantt: 3 Task link modes: None (Visual cue only), Use Task Dependencies and Locked Relationships. Currently, the only supported dependency is "Finish to Start". Others will be added soon.
  • New: Gantt: Can now toggle the visibility of links
  • New: Field Properties: Auto-assign rules can now be on separate lines (no need to use the '|' separator).
