Field Properties dialogue is very slow; Cannot rebuild IQbase

Submitted by gregory on 2015/07/31 11:04
The time taken from starting the Field Properties dialogue to InfoQube being ready to accept commands is a little over four minutes for one of my IQbases. This seems rather slow and makes incremental development painful.
 
Reorganising the IQbase makes no appreciable difference.
 
I attempt to rebuild the same IQbase, and this fails with error-message:

Rebuild failed (Error= Application-defined or object-defined error)
 
Does anyone have useful suggestions to make?

problem on switching between Infoqube and other programs when Source Bar is displayed

Submitted by jimspoon on 2015/07/30 23:29
If I:
(1) have source bar enabled
(2) am entering items into the Item column in a grid
(3) switch away from Infoqube to another program and then switch back to Infoqube
the cursor always jumps to the Source Box in the Source Bar.  So that if I try to type something, the effect is to change the source for the grid.  I can always "cancel" out of changing the Source but is a pain.  It would be better if the cursor were still in the grid when I switch back to Infoqbue from another program.
 
 

gantt issues

Submitted by Armando on 2015/07/27 17:04
 
A few things I noticed, some more problematic  than others.
 
1- Gantt internal Calculations problems (seems linked to summary bars calculations) : Some date-times fractions (e.g. 2015-07-27  03:00:00) or changes in items taskActStart/end field (when moving items in the gantt) seem to provoke gantt summary bars calculations problems (probably linked to decimals that don't "resolve" properly??) and CPU usage increase making IQ unusable.
 
2- Critical path : The critical path recalc should probably warn the user that values will be changed for good... I fell into that trap. 1h putting things back as they were

Scrolling problems

Submitted by Armando on 2015/07/27 16:42
Since the last version, scrolling is a bit problematic here. Lines are "blurred" and the movement isn't smooth.
I thought I'd mention it:
1- in case it'd be related to specific computer settings, graphic adapter, etc. Anyone experiencing that kind of issues ?
2- and because it affects... work flow
 
e.g. screenshot while scrolling , sample file
 
 

Ctrl+Y while in edit mode : redoes/undoes changes in another cell...

Submitted by Armando on 2015/07/19 19:00
To reproduce.
 
1- Make some change to content in a cell (A).

2- Leave "edit mode".

3- Press Ctrl+z to undo the change. Change is undone. Fine.

4- Edit the content of some other cell (B); but stay in edit mode!

5- While still in edit mode in cell B, press Ctrl+z to undo the change you made (the change will be undone, fine), and then press Ctrl+y to redo it : It won't undo the last undo in cell B but will silently undo the undo in cell A, without any visual cue, hint of what has changed, etc..
 
So, basically, each time one presses ctrl+y in edit mode, some change is being undone somewhere, silently.
 

Omnibox : in certain cases (most?), can't use arrows to make any selection

Submitted by Armando on 2015/07/19 18:47
 If I type something to find a grid -- let's say --, once the grids names appear in the Omnibox results and I use the down arrow to reach it, the selection box turns gray and result will display "--View--" only...
 
e.g.
 
 
and typing down arrow does...
 
 
 
OR, in the case below, all options disappear once I start using the arrow and I'm stuck with the last option (strange
 
e.g.

Crash accessing Field properties dialog/interface - sometimes

Submitted by Armando on 2015/07/17 17:48
This happens fairly often if I try to access the Field properties dialog through right clicking on a field in the properties pane and select "Field properties" : crash.
It also happens, but rarely, when I try to access the  fields properties by right clicking the column headers. So I use that as a work around. But I was pushed to post about it because IQ just crashed after trying to access the fields properties dialog through the column headers.
 
The problem is that I can't reproduce it with the sample file (at least for now) -- only with my file. And even then, it doesn't happen all the time.

Column equation not performing as anticipated

Submitted by gregory on 2015/07/17 07:16
I have made my first successful use of column equations. However, when I have attempted to be a little bit more adventurous, I have failed.
 
I have defined in user code the following VBScript function:
 
function notYetDone (Done, NotDone) 'Returns true if done remains null and not notDone
notYetDone = isnull(Done) and not notDone
end function
 
Figure 1 I include the function notYetDone as part of a column equation on taskDuration
 
Figure 1 point 1 highlights the IQ system field taskDuration. This column is given the label Nb Days, as in the standard InfoQube sample IQ base.
