Criteria for SNDB File Storage

Submitted by David_H on 2016/09/07 22:17
1. When are files automatically stored in the SNDB folder?  From what I can see:
 
a. Photos pasted into the HTML pane get stored there.
b. MHT files get stored there.
c. But HTML files DON'T get stored there, but are stored in the IQ database?
 
2. Why do most files in the SNDB get inserted into a folder with the item number as the name, yet other files get inserted into the root folder?
 
Thanks

Alignment question

Submitted by Jon on 2016/09/07 11:41
If I right click on a column and choose alignment, the contents of the column defaults to center (if that is my choice). Under Field Properties, there is an option for alignment also. I assume this is not for alignment of the headers but rather for the columns. Yet while the columns are centered via the right click option, this is not reflected in Field Properties where the alignment remains left. If I am wrong and this option controls header alignment, then it does not work.

[SOLVED] Half My Grids Won't Open

Submitted by David_H on 2016/09/07 01:43
Edit: will update with solution shortly...
 
I'm not sure what to make of this, out of nowhere half my grids won't open.  I click on a grid, the screen flashes like a grid should open, I see a single item in the HTML pane that I know is from that grid, but the grid doesn't actually open or become visible.
 
I tried database repair.  Also tried selecting and unselecting "show grid", just in case that would trigger anything.  And of course have closed and reopened. If I create a new grid, it can be opened.
 
Any suggestions??

Undocking a pane

There are 2 ways to undock a docked pane (i.e. detach, float):
  1. Double-click on the pane caption
  2. Do View > Layout > Floating Pane (Shift + F11)
  3. Use Drag-drop
To Drag-drop, select the docked pane you wish to undock.

Layout not being restored

Submitted by DavidF on 2016/09/03 14:36
hi,
 
it's an evening for IQ problems... I have one database which when I open it does not show any of the grids that were left open in the previous session. I have "Restore layout" checked in Options. Other databases open with all the grids that were open at the time the database was closed. It's just this one opens "blank". 
 
Also, in this "problem" database, grids that I have opened are no longer showing in the View bar, ie grids are no longer being added to it as I open them.

Multiple Window Support

Submitted by David_H on 2016/09/02 17:45
I can open up an HTML pane in a new window, but it overlays the main IQ window.  There is no way to send it to the background nor to switch between them, and in the taskbar there is only one window.  I find this strange, because all the trappings of multiple window support are there, for instance I can move the new HTML pane to another monitor or side by side with the main instance of IQ.
 
Can the ability to switch between multiple windows be added (including on the Windows task bar)?  It seems like it's already 99% there.
 
Is this in any way related to the fact that I am running the portable version?  Or does the current limitation also exist with the installed version?
 
Thanks

Sharing Calendar Design and Thoughts

Submitted by Pierre_Admin on 2016/09/01 21:22
Hi IQ users,
 
The last big piece missing before releasing v1.0 is support for online calendars.
 
As I'm working on the changes required for this new feature, I'll share design notes with you.
Feel free to comment and / or ask questions. It is your chance to chip in and influence IQ dev.

Calendar Design Notes

  • IQ Calendars
    • IQ will be able to display one or more calendars, each in its own tab
    • Calendars have 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 day, month and year preset ranges. In addition, the mini-calendar can be used to select custom ranges (i.e.
