seem to be piling on the bugs tonight... though this is quite possibly just me not getting something. I'm trying to import a tab-delimited text file as hierarchical data. Under import options I choose "add all items to grid" - but it only brings in TLIs. Am I missing something?

hi,

 

ever since I did a Save-As on one of my databases, outline styles have stopped working in the created db. The only change I made in the "copy" was to delete all the items - except for the OutlineStyles grid. Then adding items and applying styles to them, nothing happens. The original db was also problematic at first, styles not working, eventually it came right after saving, closing, reopening, both grids and db. None of this has worked with the "copy" db.

 

Shouldn't the "copied" db (the one you get as a result of the Save As) work identically to the original for this sort of thing?

edit: ... and now Outline Styles have stopped working completely, as far as I can tell in all databases. Eg in the original database, that I did the Save As on, I tried switching off Styles, they switched off, couldn't get them back.

Sometimes it's more convenient to have multiple IQ instances running at the same time.

 

With the current options for the title bar, it is not possible to differentiate between each instance from the Taskbar where the user has left things off, i.e. which Grid.

 

Could it be possible to add another keyword such as {ActiveGrid} for example?

For a long time I've been running the portable veersion of IQ.  And I got the idea that it would be convenient to put the IQ program files folder into a Dropbox folder.  That way, whenever I wanted to update to a newer version of IQ, I would just copy the newer IQ program files over the older program files in the Dropbox folder.  That way, I would not have to update the IQ program files manually  on each computer that I use.  Rather, when I updated the program files on one computer, Dropbox would update the iq program files on all computers that I use.

See attachment.  Using these settings I'd expect my items to sort first by Sort Order.  That works.

 

For those items that have the same sort order, I'd expect those to then sort by Item, based on the second sort order of "Item".  That half works.  These are all parent level items, all with a field assigning them to this grid.  It actually does sort a lot of them alphabetically, far too many to be a coincidence.  But here and there will be items stuck where they shouldn't be, an A item right after a Q item, and so on.

 

Why?

 

And here is something that is even weirder.  If I take an item that doesn't sort correctly, let's sat that item mentioned above that starts with "A", and rename it to start with "Z" and then click refresh, it sorts properly.  But the moment I then take the Z away and put the A back,

I used to constantly copy and paste text into posts.  I always overcome the Drupal right click dialog you get when right clicking with a post by holding down the control key, which allows normal right click functions.  Now that no longer works in FF or Chrome.  Not sure if it's because of browser updates or a forum change?  And the Drupal right click box won't even work in FF any more, the paste option is always grayed out, so I can't paste that way either.

 

Any way to turn that right click forum thing off?  It's sort of a pain .

 

 

I use a Sort Order column so that I can set a manual sort order for certain grids.  Unfortunately it doesn't work very well because when sorting ascending it always places blanks in the sort column at the top.  So using X below to represent a blank, it sorts like this:

 

X

X

X

1

2

 

But at least for me the whole point of using a manual sort order is I want to have a few important items always show up at the top.  If the user wanted blanks to show up at the top they wouldn't be using a sort order at all, I'd think?  So the only way to achieve what's desired is to give every single item in the grid some sort value, even if unneeded.  Which is a PITA.  Would you consider making blanks sort at the bottom?

 

Thanks

I have a start time and end time column which in turn populate a duration column.  I'd like to create an additional column for "total hours" that sums the duration column for the DAY.  To be clear, I do not need this to be project specific.  It's not for billing or anything like that and doesn't need to roll up to a parent item.  I just want to be able to look at my Done grid, and see a total hours column that shows how much time I logged for the day.

 

Can anyone (maybe Pierre ) give me the exact syntax I need to enter, and on which field/s, to accomplish this?

 

Thanks!

This is a show stopper for me. I rely on drop down lists quite a lot. Many of mine are multiple selection types. The lists open up fine but after making the selections, nothing appears in the cell. Compact and repair did not help Returning to 78B resolved this.
