Hi IQ Users,

In this release (v0.9.26PreRel44):

New: HTML pane: When saving content, a confirmation is now required when most of the content was deleted (because one is never too careful)
New: Grid: Can now select multiple columns / rows using Shift + Cursor keys !
Fixed: Grid: Read-only fields were not being selected when using cursor keys
Fixed: Fields: Limit to list was not effective when using items from SQL Select lists
Fixed: Grid: Pop-up editors could appear to hang the UI if the user clicks elsewhere when they are shown. They are now modal. Press Esc to dismiss
Fixed: Grid: In Edit > Copy, the dialog was shown even when not necessary (i.e. when a single column is selected)
Fixed: Grid: Copy a range of cells and paste in Excel did not work correctly (unless in Excel Edit > Paste Special > Unformatted Text was used)
Fixed: Grid: Right-click on a cell could sometimes show a second context menu
Fixed: Calendar: In scrolling list mode, the day captions could vertically scroll and come out of view. They are now locked at the top
Fixed: HTML Pane <--> Grid focus bug
Small UI tweaks

Download it here

I have a field ValidKind defined as

select kind as ValidKind from kind order by left(kind, 255) asc

If I click on this in a grid, nothing happens – the cell is merely selected, as in earlier releases.

If I press F2, I see the text of the SQL select statement:

select kind as ValidKind from kind order by left(kind, 255) asc

If I then click on the right arrow, expecting to see drop-down values, nothing happens; I continue to see only the text of the SQL select statement.

When I try to type a valid value, if there is currently nothing in the cell, nothing happens.

If I key F2, I once again see the text of the SQL select statement. If I delete that, and start to type a value, I once again see the text of the SQL select statement.

At one point in my testing, I did succeed in getting InfoQube to do something. It warned me that I was about to download a large number of values; I accepted that; values of ValidKind were then displayed in a separate search window. However, I can no longer get InfoQube even to do that even after a reload of the product.

It goes without saying that I have not yet been able to test whether or not invalid values can no longer be stored, which was the point of the change that I requested.

I will separately send you this particular test IQbase so that you can carry out some proper testing. That IQbase, when opened, will display two grids. The first,ValidKind, is based on the eponymous field. It shows only eight values when I would expect to see 529. The second, Kind, includes ValidKind as a field. This is the grid which I used for the testing reported above.

Oups, sorry about that Mark. I've released v0.9.26PreRel44a which fixes this (and other editor related smaller issues)

Thanks! This seems to be working now, although I will need to test it more thoroughly later on.

Also fixed Pierre (I dont see it listed above) is:

HTML Pane <--> Grid focus bug

where focus jumped from HTML pane to grid when focus removed from IQ - which was especially problematic when using a clipboard extender.

Now fixed

Thanks!

To make a positive comment: I have just had to use copy-and-paste to move significant amounts of data from InfoQube to Excel, and I can confirm that this seems to be working well.

Thanks for reminding me of that one. I've updated the original post.

Thanks Pierre !

Hi Pierre,

- Can't ctrl+a (select all) anymore in edit mode.

Not sure if this is a new from this release or the one before as I haven't been working a lot with IQ in the last week.

Thanks!

Strange... but looking at previous versions, it has been like this for a little while.

Fixed in v0.9.26PreRel45

Yes, you're right. It might have been like that for a while.

As always : thanks Pierre !

Just to let you know that CTRL + A is working for me with 44A. Why should this be?

Select All works with the WYSIWYG editor, perhaps you have it turned on

The issue is when not using the WYSIWYG editor

No, I don't have it on. It is working with it on and with it off.

Hi Pierre,

I'm having problems with copy : If I select cells in a column that's not the tree column (usually the item column), I'm not able to copy the values of the cells in that column. The values that get copied are from the item column.

Ctrl+shift+c used to show the copy dialog, wherever we are in a grid, whatever is selected. Is that still possible? I see that the dialog seems to appear only when the full item(s) is(are) select. Is that the case ? If yes, how does the typical user knows that to copy an item XML style to copy back in IQ, the full item needs to be selected ?

After using IQ quite a bit in the last couple days, I confirm that this is very problematic - there's no obvious workaround as I can't get the "copy special" dialog to appear anymore.

I can't copy any given items in a column without convoluted steps (e.g. select items, hoist in a new grid with only the wanted column, select full items... and then copy.)

Going back to previous version for now.

Confirmed and now fixed.

I've also re-enabled the Copy special menu item (not sure it wasn't showing anymore...)

Many thanks Pierre!

Not sure why it wasn't showing either. But I did try a couple things...

[quote=Pierre_Admin]

Good point. This is now fixed, the Edit > Undo (CTRL+Z) now does an undo while editing (works for both regular editor and WYSIWYG)

Thanks! It's an "invisible" feature, but can be useful.

>Fixed : Right-click on a cell could sometimes show a second context menu

This was actually sometimes useful - only way to undo inside a cell, while editing. The context menu was only appearing while editing inside a cell.

There's now no way to undo mistakes while editing.
