Don't know the answer Tom. I would have assumed going into edit mode or something like that. I just thought these dialogs were weird &

possibly connected to the problem we both reported in another thread.  I found the first of the two dialogs especially odd. Let's see if Armando or Pierre have

a comment.

Thanks Tom & Armando. Over the years I've had odd problems that sometimes show up here & no where else and then months later they pop up elsewhere.  I've also had odd problems that never show up anywhere else & Pierre has worked on them with me, creating test  program updates to try which have cured whatever the problem was.

 

At this point, all I can say is:

if I dbl click on the item I get the can't open file dialog with or w/o the HTML pane present

and I had never tried it until Tom brought it up but

if I dbl click on the # column I get the can't open file dialog whether there is HTML data present or not

That indicates a slight difference of behavior but odd, none the less.

 

Since Pierre has reverted to the older grid version, we can discount that theory but

I do think there's a problem somewhere & I'm hopeful Pierre will take a little time to focus on it.

 

And Tom, the only reason I came across this was I wanted to edit an item so I dbl clicked on it as in "select / open" which is a prertty common command

A different test.

I installed another copy of IQ using the installer

 

I installed to C:/  drive as prescribed by the installer

 

You will see from the video clip supplied

The first thing I did was to dbl click on an item w HTML data

IQ seemed to behave appropriately, i.e. it entered "edit mode"

 

Then I clicked on an item that I had clipped from email & the email opened in its own window

 

In neither case was there a weird dialog about opening file or type of file as before

 

And

if I select the first item, i.e. the one w HTML data & up arrowed to the eml item, IQ

blanked the HTML pane &

opened the email in a TB window

 

That seems appropriate too.

 

Could this problem have something to do with computer "registration"?
