Shift+F2 - popup editor : Would it be possible to zoom ?
 
For me, the characters in the  popup editor are even smaller than the characters in my grids, and it makes reading difficult. I could probably increase the font size globally, but... it would then be too big in my grids.
Zooming would be a nice addition.
 

HTML unicode references appear in cell after editing with popup editor [details below]

If I'm not editing in WYSIWYG, the HTML unicode references will appear in the cell after editing with the  popup editor (Shift+F2)
 
Work aound : 1-turn on WYSIWYG for the field in the grid, 2-F2 to edit, 3-and then turn WYSIWYG off. HTML Unicode references seem to be reconverted in the process (?).

Same Item Under or Linked to Multiple TLI?

Submitted by David_H on 2015/03/26 20:19
One of the wonderful things about IQ is how easy is it to have items show up in multiple grids.  But what is the best way to relate an item to two TLI?  Example:
 
- You have a project TLI of "Move Office"
 
- You have a contact TLI in the address book for the property manager for new office building.  You make a call to him and want to log it and want it to appear as a record both under the project AND under his name in the address book?
 
Use the hyperlink feature??
 
Thanks
 
 
 

Syncing Question

Submitted by David_H on 2015/03/25 23:56
Currently I am using DropBox to sync my main database file across two computers.
 
For the Users file I just copied them across computers.  Am I likely to experience any problems/corruptions if I were to just put all the (portable USB version) files in the DropBox folder so that the Users file (and all other IQ files) also sync?
 
Thanks

Forms Suggestion

Submitted by David_H on 2015/03/25 16:48
Suggestion 1: Right now to apply a forum you have to select a form in the properties pane and click on one of the itsy bitsy icons.  I could be wrong but I'm betting for a specific grid most users are applying the same form.  So a nice enhancement would be if a default form could be assigned to a grid, the purpose of which would be that you could also provide shortcuts to activate the default form.  For instance I might enter an item, then right click and select "apply default grid form".  Alternatively there could be a toolbar icon for "apply default form grid".
 
Suggestion 2:  I'm setting up about 10 forms and they are all identical except for one field.  Tools>Manage Forms, it would nice to be able to right click on a form and copy it.
 
Thanks

Omnibox instructions ? (for older installs)

Submitted by Tom on 2015/03/25 06:27
After a break of a couple of weeks I'm working with IQ again.
I'm confused with the Omnibox / Find situation
(working with Pre-Rel47)
 
Instructions for updating older portable installs were to:
  • delete the Search toolbar and
  • remove the Ctrl+F shortcut from Find (menu: edit >Find)
 
I seem to have already deleted the search toolbar (dont see any)
I deleted the Ctrl+F shortcut and now nothing happens.
