Blinking Text Cursor Rarely Appears

Submitted by David_H on 2015/01/29 04:31
This has been ongoing since starting to use IQ, on two different PC's.  When I click on the main text area for an item, sometimes the cursor appears.  Usually it doesn't.  Often I have to click in and out of the item repeatedly.  Other times I just start deleting to figure out where the cursor is (it's there but invisible).  It's maddening.  Occurs only in IQ, not in any other program.  Any suggestions?
 
In case relevant I'm using Windows 7 with high resolution displays. 2K on the laptop, 4K on the desktop.
 
Thanks

Hi IQ Users,
 
The grid focus issues present in the last few versions were serious enough that it was decided to issue a new version...
 
In this release (v0.9.26PreRel39):
  • Fixed: VB Script editor: System code is now read-only
  • Fixed: Grid: Improved focus handling

Maximize HTML Pane In Its Own Window

Submitted by David_H on 2015/01/27 05:03
It's already possible to grab the HTML pane and separate it from grid.  It sure would be nice if it had a simple maximize command.  Preferably one that could be activated when it is docked, click maximize to do so.  Then maybe click something else to dock it again?  If that's not possible a simple maximize command sure would be useful.
 
Thanks

Show Text on Toolbar Icons

Submitted by David_H on 2015/01/22 23:11
In this documentation on IQ the screenshots show text with the toolbar icons.  Has that ability to display text with IQ icons been removed?  Or was that text just a part of older icons?
 
It is very difficult for my eyes to scan the tons of small icons that come with IQ, being able to display text like that, at least on some of the commands, would be invaluable.
 
Thanks
 
 

ODC data for LibreOffice?

Submitted by Jon on 2015/01/22 09:19
Hi Pierrre:
 
For a variety of reasons I try to minimize my use of Microsoft products, especially Office. LibreOffice is quite good and its Calc is superior in some areas to Excel. I would like to use LibreOffice with a ODC type file. I think LibreOfiice has an analogous format  although I am not certain. Is this possible to do?

Anyone Interested in a Google + Hangout? Pierre?

Submitted by David_H on 2015/01/22 02:48
I have a lot of questions about IQ that would not be efficient to ask on the forum.  It would also be fun to chat with some other users since there is a fairly small/dedicated group here.  I'd also be happy to make a donation to cover Pierre's time (though he may be too expensive for me to afford ;) :D) as I really feel as though he deserves compensation for all the work and support he gives here.
 
Anyone else interested in a Google+ hangout?  It allows for video conferencing and screen sharing among a group.

Grid Question

Submitted by David_H on 2015/01/21 19:12
Please see the attached screenshot.  I created a grid named "cognitive exercises" that I use for brain teasers.  Currently the yes/no field that was automatically created when the grid was created has the inheritance value, "value -> sub-items" set to unchecked, which is why the circled items don't have a checkmark, i.e.

DropBox Sync Issues

Submitted by David_H on 2015/01/20 14:52
I am syncing IQ between two machines using DropBox.  I'm super careful to always close it on one machine and letting it sync, then making sure the other machine syncs next time I turn it on before opening.  Easy to do as DropBox literally syncs within seconds.  Anyhow, when I copy and paste pictures into the HTML pane they don't sync within IQ.  Instead I get a little x mark in the HTML pane when I go to the other computer, the type you see on a website when there is a placeholder for a picture but someone has deleted the picture.
 
I just opened the folder SNDB.files on a computer where none of the pictures are showing up.  All the pictures that are missing are in the folder.  So why aren't the pictures showing up in IQ?
 
I sure hope there is a fix, this is pretty huge.
 
Thanks
