Properties > All Fields - live filtering of fields list?

Submitted by jimspoon on 2017/06/30 05:52
I'd like to be able to apply a "live filter" to the All Fields list in the Properties Pane.  It would provide a quick way of finding fields that I want to assign to the current item.
 
I notice that the Field Properties window (Tools > Manage Fields) can already be filtered by field name, by clicking on the tiny underscore at the right of the "name" header.  Wildcards are supported in this filtering, but the filtering is not live, i.e. you have to press Enter to see the fields that meet the field name filter.
 
 

Filesize regularly/disproportionally increasing [have you seen this?]

Wondering has anyone else noticed a steady increase in filesize disproportionate to the new data added to the file ?
 
Naturally, filesizes increase, but with my active file, I add very little to it on a daily basis - maybe a couple of text emails, and a couple of new (text) items per day.
Yet, it increases steadily in size - last time I checked, from 4 or 5MB to over 30MB i.e. when it is compacted it goes back to ~ 5MB, then it increases at a rate I'm not sure of (I guess at over 5MB per week).

Item Join and Split

Content is often entered in a hurry and some re-organizing may be required later on. These include:
  • Join 2 or more items into a single one
  • Split one item into 2 or more items
Currently the only view that supports Join and Split is the Grids.

  1. In a grid, select 2 or more items
  2. Item > Join Items.... (Ctrl + Shift + J)

Hyperlink Dialogue Fails Sometimes

I don't think I posted about this before because I was holding off to see if it'd been fixed but I see that I still have the problem in 9.97a.
 
When I create a hyperlink in the grid, and close the dialogue, the cell is sometimes left blank instead of creating the link.  It just happened three times in a row on the same link.  Annoying because I usually type out detailed descriptions that are lost.  I guess I'll have to copy the descriptions to save them until this can get fixed.  I haven't been able to figure out any pattern to it.
 
1) I thought it might be related to using forbidden symbols in the description but it occurs even with text only descriptions.
 
2) In the current example, the same entries failed three time in a row, so I reduced the description to one word.  That worked.  Then I added one word at a time to the description and each time it worked.  In the en

Showing Items in a Different Context (e.g. in context of items entered before/after)

Submitted by jimspoon on 2017/06/21 17:32
I am thinking it would be useful to be able to show an item in the context of a number of the items I created/edited immediately before the current item.  As well as many other possible contexts that could be defined in different grids.
 
The Shown In Grids links in the Properties Pane provides a convenient way to show an item in different useful contexts.
