Small request - my file is password protected.  If I mistype the password, the password box closes, and I have to go to file > open and select the database all over again.  Can it be changed to follow the typical convention - tell the user it was wrong and just give them the opportunity to retype it?

 

Thanks

 Am I right in thinking that the ordering of subitems is a property of the grid?  

 

In other words, I can manually order an item's subitems in a particular grid, but if I load that same item in another grid (e.g. scratch, search results), the subitems are not going to have that manual ordering.

 

By contrast, I think that in Ecco, the ordering of subitems is a property of the item; so that if you display the item in a Search Results or Scratch view, the ordering of subitems is going to be the same.

 

I know I might very well be wrong about this, if so, I'd like to be set straight!

 

 

Ecco has a searchable Folder Window shown to the left.

IQ has a Field Properties Window that does not appear to be dockable?

It also does not appear that I can search in this window?

Is there some way to dock this or other Field Window?

In Ecco I often drag fields (folders in Ecco) to the Grid to add a column. I also double click a field to display its items in a scratch grid..

Can this be done in IQ somehow?

The Grid properties does not have an option to set its background color.

I can set Grid color for Grids in Tools|Options|Grids... But then all Grids will have the same color...

How do I set individual Grid colors?

 

I am running the portable version of IQ and put the help file (InfoQube.chm) in the program directory.

How do I invoke the help file? Most programs use F1, but that doesn't work in IQ.

In the IQ Help File, I see several examples of Item bullets (like in Ecco). How do I change to the [Ecco] bullet format?

(e.g. See here: http://www.sqlnotes.net/drupal5/index.php?q=node/133)

 

Note that the help file: http://www.sqlnotes.net/drupal5/index.php?q=node/710  shows how to set the bullets. However, this option is missing for me!?

Maybe this option was removed in a new IQ version (newer than the help file)? On purpose or a bug?

In Ecco, I can create a single item like this:

a

b

c

 The line breaks are created by Shift-Enter.

1. How do I do that in IQ?

 

Also, how do I:

2. Join Items?

3. Split Items?
4. Paste into current Item?

 

 

 

I use pop-up lists to assign categories.  I've noticed that no matter where my Infoqube window is positioned, the pop-up always comes up at the far upper right of my main monitor.  Is there any way to tweak this so the pop-up occurs closer to where I'm actually working (preferably right next to the relevant cell)?

I am a long time Ecco / Ecco Extension user and am trying to decide if I should switch to IQ. This would be a big step for me and I need to make sure that IQ has the important functionality that I use daily in Ecco. 

 

In the past, if a feature was missing or buggy in IQ, I could check Mantis to see if it was planned to be implemented / fixed in the near future. Now it seems like Mantis is no longer used? Is there an alternative now? Any way to see what is planned (with an ETA)?

 

p.s. Anyone knows why Firefox spell checker doesn't work in this Forum? It shows the error with red underline, but right-clicking to get suggestions doesn't work :
