I have a very small suggestion for improving the user interface:  as much as possible, the menu arrangements should be consistent.  Where items are shown in different menus, they should be shown in the same order.  When you use a menu over and over, your mind subconsciously starts remembering where items are located, and your eyes automatically go to the correct spot.  This process is interfered with when menus show items in different order.

 

For example, the column pulldown menu is on the left; the column context menu is on the right:

 

This is minor, but I had a good look in the manual, but couldn't find what's permitted in Grid names.

 

IQ 85a / Win.7

I caused a crash by creating a grid using an ampersand - '&' e.g. O&E

 

I got the error:

---------------------------
InfoQube
---------------------------
Error opening grid. Check grid source criteria.

I recorded a 5-minute video showing all of the new capabilities re: pane rearrangement for those that have not played with it yet.  Tons of cool capabilities that are not immediately evident.

 

 

 

 

I'm going to use this thread to report any issues I experience with the new ability to dock grids in any pane.  I'm on version 85a.  So far I've experienced (2) issues.

 

1. At the moment my Home Page keeps opening new pages in the Home page tab group.  No matter what I try, I can't get it to open tabs in the larger tab group.  I haven't been having this issue with my laptop, but I am with my desktop.  I have 85 on my laptop, 85a on my desktop in case that's the cause.

 

2. When opening the program I keep finding my rearrangement to be gone and it's like I'm back to some basic stock setting.  I just started using Grid > Save and so far that has stopped it.  IF that is required and why it has stopped happening, IMO IQ should warn a user open close and prompt them to save their grid layout.

 

Thanks

The new multi-field sync is a great feature. I am wondering how difficult it would be to extend it to text-fields.

Example:

Field with AutoList of Values -> Status with values: OnHold, Completed etc.

WIKITag -> {Status:OnHold} would set the field Status to the value OnHold. It could be something other than the : to differentiate between the field and the value.

Calendar as Detached View is fantastic so far.

Sometimes however, when I am resizing the window, I get "blue space" which does not get filled up with a resized calendar based on the new window size.

I cannot reproduce the issue reliably, but it it is happening.

To clarify my earlier post - I find that if I load a layout (that includes the HTML Pane) the Pane appears. I press F11, it disappears. But F11 doesn't toggle - if I press it again, the Pane doesn't come back, as (pre-0.9.85a) it did.

hi,

 

in one of the grids in one of my databases, the outline numbers (the grey column) that should be appearing on the left, for some reason decided to place themselves in the middle of the grid, with columns on either side. After trying various things (moving columns around, removing and re-adding columns) they have now disappeared altogether. Posting this in the bug forum but maybe it's a setting I've inadvertently altered. But I didn't think this was an actual column that could be moved around. Any way I could get them back?

 

This was on first opening this grid in 0.9.85a.

 

Also, has F11 to hide/display panes stopped working?

Any tricks I don't know to assign several fields quickly?  In Evernote I can just click in the Tags areas of a note, type a few letters, and assign a tag.  Allows me to assign several tags to a note very quickly.

 

What is the fastest way to do the same in IQ with fields (for an item), when they don't exist in the grid as a column?  Obviously I know different ways it can be done, with forms or fields in the properties pane.  But I don't find either particularly fast.

 

Thanks
