hi Pierre,

restore previous layout no longer working here in pre-release 29 & 29a

I always get the message:

Restore previous layout...

no previous layout to restore

Window 7 x64

Comments

Seems to work here. Are you jealous ?

(I'm still on v29. I know there's a nasty checkbox bug, but I don't use these.)

Is it after a crash ? after closing it normally with all your grids opened ? after closing all grids before closing the program ?

Yes.

Reproduced repeatedly with two different files.

> after closing all grids before closing the program?

No.

I always left grids open on closing of file.

Are you using MDI or tabbed workspace ?
ScreenShot perhaps...
Does it happen with a new sample IQBase?

I get same results with a clean portable 'install' and new sample file - see #3 below.

1) not sure what MDI is but I used tabbed. I often use dual pane - sometimes with the calendar on one side

2) I took this shot on reopening the file

OK, I just tried this:

unpacked portable IQ 29a to a new folder - no options changed

created a fully new sample file (with content)

opened a couple of grids

closed & reopened the file

exactly the same result

Hi Tom,

No idea of what could be doing that.

I upgraded to 29a and it's still working fine here.

Did you change some grid names recently ? Did you work with a grid you usually don't use ? Hypothesis : Maybe a specific grid name is generating an error ?

Did you move your DB to some other location ? Not that I think it would make a difference...

[EDIT : What's MDI ? Multiple Document Interface. See Tools->Options->General->Use Workspace Tabs. If you uncheck this, IQ will switch to MDI mode]

Hi Armando,

did you test it on Windows7? See my post (quoted below) it also happens with a fresh install:

created a fully new sample file (with content)

opened a couple of grids

closed & reopened the file

exactly the same result [i.e. no previous layout found - see screenshot in my previous post]

Perhaps a regional setting issue...

What are yours ?

Can you try using USA ?

Thanks !

Hi Pierre

will check tomorrow **

and try with US settings (I presume then it's working for someone out there on Windows 7?)

** posting from Windows 8.1, where I can confirm it's working as expected (with installed version of IQ).

Regional settings were:

English (Ireland)

- with a custom date YYYY-MM-DD

I changed to

English (US)

and restarted IQ a couple of times - no change, problem still exists.

Does restore-previous-layout work for anyone out there using IQ on Windows 7 (x64) ?

or is it just lill ol me?

I tested it on a Windows laptop and, yes I'm getting the same as you : "No previous Layout to Restore"

I won't be able to do more testing today...

Yes, I read the post etc. I forgot about the sample file.

I didn't test it on Windows 7, only Windows 8.1.

Hi Tom,

Are you using the Portable or Installed version ?

Hi Pierre,

Portable pre-rel 29a

OK, the issue was reproduced and fixed in the next release.

It has nothing to do with Windows 7.

While waiting for this next release, set checkbox for Tools > Options > Program Settings > Modes > Show Restore layout dialog when opening files.

I just tried this. It works but It was already checked : I had to uncheck, apply, and recheck.
