Hi IQ Users,

In this release (v0.9.74a):

New: HTML Pane: Spell checker ! Uses the current language as seen on the Windows task bar (On Windows 8+ with IE10+ installed). Enable / disable in Tools > Options.
New: Grid: WYSIWYG editor: Spell checker ! (On Windows 8+ with IE10+ installed)
New: Grid: Column filter: Hold shift to show all values, otherwise, only filtered values will be shown
New: Grid > Show Pictures is now a grid specific setting (before it was a system setting)
New: Grid: Warn user if the HomeGrid no longer exist and show item in the Scratch grid instead
New: Gantt: Moving / resizing bars show bar start / end on the status bar
New: Pop-up Editor: Handwriting recognition support using a pen. Button to enter the handwriting in a panel below the editor. Gesture support (add space, new line, backspace, etc). Long press and drag to select text
New: Pop-up Editor: Button to show the on-screen keyboard
New: Properties Pane: Supports equations. You can use this to modify many items.
For example, set DueDate=[StartDate]+7, DueDate=[DueDate]+14 to move all dates by 14 days, Notes=[Project]+" -- "+[Item]
Note that Forms > Apply form can also be used to perform the same kind of operations.
New: Field Properties: Equations tab now shows the list of dependant fields (fields that use this field in equations)
New: Tools > Options: HTML pane uses IE10 (default) or IE7 (fall back). By using IE10, you get a more compatible browser / editor

Fixed: Grid: WYSIWYG editor: Paste Unicode text did not work correctly
Fixed: Calendar: New Event dialog showed incorrect event duration when the event was created in the Calendar
Fixed: Calendar: Creating a new Unscheduled event showed the New Event dialog but the event type was set to All Day Event, not Unscheduled
Fixed: Calendar: New event: 2 events are created, not one, if the field is set to be in the Calendar by default (Field Properties)
Fixed: Calendar: Edit > Edit did not open the Event dialog. Popup Editor did not work either. Can select many events to edit.
Fixed: HTML Pane: Switching to browse mode and back could erase the recent changes made
Fixed: Properties Pane: If multiple items are selected in the grid, double-click on a field in the Properties Pane only fills in the default value for the focused item, not all selected items
Fixed: Live-Search: Parenthesis inside quotes were not handled correctly
Fixed: Field Properties: Changes to equations are not always correctly updated

Great :)

Quick test:

- Row equations work from the get go vs v72

- The Parenthesis live search works vs. v72

Can't wait to test the rest.

EDIT:

New: Properties Pane: Supports equations. You can use this to modify many items.
For example, set DueDate=[StartDate]+7, DueDate=[DueDate]+14 to move all dates by 14 days, Notes=[Project]+" -- "+[Item]
Note that Forms > Apply form can also be used to perform the same kind of operations.

-> Just out of curiosity I tested this inside a grid and it works there too which is amazing.

Suggestion:

The New Item UI makes it easier to annotate with metadata (bigger boxes for the Fields and WikiTags). The downside (at least for me) is that it completely kills my train of thought that I want to quickly input without metadata considerations. I think it's the bigger boxes. Wouldn't it be best and not that hard to implement if there is an option to collapse the metadata section (Assign to, DueDate, WikiTags, Fields) to have "quick input" mode?

Well done! Will be testing in the next few days, as I'm working with it.

Pierre, with previous versions correct me if I am wrong, when I would first extract the portable version there would be no user folder (yet), and I'd drag the user file from the previous version to the new version. But with 74a the moment you extract it, there is a user folder, and inside that is a titled PPL. Do we just overwrite the entire user folder, or does that PPL folder serve some purpose?

Thanks

Hi David,

Thanks for pointing that. My mistake, I'll refresh the version without that "PPL" folder. No harm to leave it though, just my settings folder

I have it enabled in Tools > Options but don't see any spell checking happening in the HTML pane. Shift + F10 just launches the right click menu for me.

Does this also need to be enabled? I don't see any options for it under Tools > Options

Did you restart IQ ?

Of course

Spellchecker works here. Only, a bit complicated -- it seems -- to switch language without switching the entire OS language (might be missing something)?

Couldn't be much simpler... no need to change the UI language. Just use the keyboard selector on the taskbar or swipe from the right to show the Charms bar / Action Center

HTH !

Changing keyboard language? I'Ve tried it but will try again.

I'm not able to use equations in properties pane. I'm missunderstanding something

Tried inserting these tests into the edit box for my followupdate field :

set FollowUpDate=[FollowUpDate]+14

FollowUpDate=[FollowUpDate]+14

set [FollowUpDate]=[FollowUpDate]+14

[FollowUpDate]=[FollowUpDate]+14

[FollowUpDate]+14

FollowUpDate+14

+14

Ok. So where do I need to write this? : )

You were close. Try the same syntax as for forms: =[FollowUpDate]+14

See 4. Forms

HTH !

OK Thanks! Looked in the wrong places in the help sections.

Wonder if IQ could be a bit more forgiving in terms of syntax... (e.g maybe "=" shouldn't be compulsory)

For text fields, the = is essential (as you must tell the parser that this is not just some text, this is an equation)... others not, but for consistency, it is required.

So any suggestions on why spell checker might not be working? I assume this is like any other spell checker, if it's turned on in Tools>Options, then anything I type in the HTML pane should be underlined in red if not spelled correctly?

Also as asked earlier, is it just enabled in the grid by default (since I don't see an option in Tools>Options to enable for the grid)?

Thanks

Hi David,

It should be enabled by default. Which version of IE are you using ? Is spell checker working in IE ?

The WYSIWYG grid editor uses the same settings as the HTML pane

Hi David,

Did you succeed at activating the spell checker ?

What is IE, is that some browser people used to use many years ago?

Version 11, and yes spell checking works in it.

No Pierre, spell checker does not work for me. I even tried disabling it and re-enabling it, along with closing and reopening, in the hope that might do something, but it just doesn't work.

FYI I've not tried on two different computers, spell check doesn't work on either one. OS is 64 bit Windows 7. IQ version is the portable one.
