File link not working

I want to create a link to a pdf that will still work if the file is moved.  I've done this many times before but I can't get it to work now.

InfoQube created a link in the InfoQube docs file.  That link works correctly when launched directly from the Windows file manager

But when I double-click on the link in the item URL field in InfoQube, I get an error message from my PDF program saying it's an unsupported file type (or I get no response at all).

Why would the link work correctly from within the file manager but not from within InfoQube?

Text field paste issue

1) Text field is displayed as column in grid.

2) Select 3 successive entries in this field (from top to bottom = PDF, [blank], Win)

3) Select 3 corresponding blank cells in an adjacent text column.

4) Paste text from first column.

5) Should display same list as first column: PDF, [blank], Win

5) Instead, it displays: PDF, Win, PDF (ie does not handle the blank entry correctly).

Issue with Copy Special> Paste Location

When you I copy special>6>paste, the item is not pasted at the cursor location. 

Instead, it goes to the top of the grid, or sometimes to the bottom of the current outline level.  In either case, it has to be tracked down and moved back to its intended location.

Grid sort is set to None (Manual).

Apologies if this has already been mentioned and is on the list to be done.

Updating Field or Tag Names Doesn't Rename Source?

Not sure if this is a How To, a Bug or a Feature request...

I am using Tags as source in many Grids.
I started renaming some Tags and noticed that the Grid source Tags were not updated.
Thus, I have to search my Grids to find those that are using the renamed Tags and change them there as well.
I tested with fields and the situation is the same there..

Is this as intended? If so, I would suggested that the Tags are renamed everywhere when they are changed in the Tags Grid or Pane.

 

p.s. Folders are renamed everywhere in Ecco

Question about group-by sorting results

When I use the group-by sort to organize items by tag assignments, I do not get the result I want.

For example:

 

Item-1 is tagged "Topic1"

Item-2 is tagged "Topic2"

Item-3 is tagged "Topic1" and "Topic2".

Now open the group-by sort bar, and drag the tags column onto the sort bar.  This groups the items by tag assignments.   I expect to see this:

Tag: Topic1

Item-1

Item-3

Tag: Topic2

Item-2

Item-3
