First off, a big thanks to Pierre for his work on the new pre-release and all his nice feedback on the forums, and to all the other users here who have been very constructive and positive 
.
.Since I've made quite a few posts over the past couple of weeks while trying to get started with IQ, I thought it would be a good idea to post a summary of what issues I've commented on that still appear to be outstanding in the latest release.
Still a very important thing missing for new users here, I have a feeling it should be possible to automagically generate it from the online version as an easy solution until IQ stabilizes so much that it's worth doing serious work on it.
There just has to be something easily accessible from the help menu that will get a new user going imho.
2.1 This has improved a LOT. There are still a few things that appear a bit odd, for instance when in week view, the up arrows on day and month both go to the first day of the week (Monday), but the down arrows go to the last day (Sunday). This may be intentional, but it doesn't seem immediately logical to me.
2.2 When selecting a date with the date picker in week view, it appears more or less random if you get the first or last day of the week.
It still should have an icon and be put on the main toolbar imho.
4.1 The WYSIWYG print preview dialog still doesn't remember it's size here, it always opens at 18%.
4.2 Maybe next/prev page navigation buttons at the top?
4.3 Whether the settings/print and use of dialogs is intuitive I still don't know.
Could still be useful for highlighting stuff in a clipped article imho.
6. New Grid
As Pierre says some rethinking may be required here, at any rate New Grid and Manage Grids are still hidden in a sub-menu of the View menu.
Still the same behavior here, if I save an IQbase in My Documents and close IQ and reopen it, the HTML Editor becomes effectively "read-only". All other folders I tried work fine.
Love the way the buttons work now.
8.1 When you close the bar by selecting "Views..." from the context menu, that entry still mysteriously disappears and you have to drag the sub-menu from the View menu out and fiddle it back into place, any new user would be lost here I feel.
8.2 Would be nice if there were a more obvious way to select if a grid should be shown on the bar (maybe context-menu for the grids on the grids menu?).
8.3 It is now possible to drag the Grids menu onto the bar! .. but alas, it shows "OtherViewsList" instead of the list of grids and disappears after restarting IQ.
You still cannot drag fields around, only grids.
