  • Fixed: Grid: Refresh did not apply Ctrl+G type filtering
  • Fixed: Grid: Split an item could create 2 new identical items instead of one
  • Fixed: Grid: Grid could lock up under certain conditions

  • New: Better Unicode support
  • New: Universal clipper correctly handles non-latin characters (arabic, russian, greek, asian)
  • New: HTML Pane: Paste command: Previous paste format preference is saved. If the format is not in the clipboard, the Paste Special dialog is shown to select a format.
  • New: HTML Pane: File > Fix UTF-8 Encoding menu command. Use this if the content has been scrambled with v66 or v67
  • New: HTML Pane: When copying text, if it contains UTF-8 codes (from v66 or v67 encoding errors), a clipbord format is added: UTF-8 Decoded. Users can copy sections with UTF-8 codes and paste using this format to fix the encoding errors.

  • Fixed: Grid: Smoother scroll when using a touchpad
  • Fixed: HTML Pane: Latin characters are not handled correctly

  • Fixed: Improved support for Unicode characters, including asian
    • Grid font must either blank or set to an Unicode enabled font, such as @Arial Unicode MS (Manage Grid > Options > Default Font)
    • The default grid font must also be set to @Arial Unicode MS since it is used by such things as the docking pane caption font
    • The HTML pane content must have the proper META tag in the HEAD section. This one works:
      <META content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv=content-type>
    • The NewHTML.HTM file should also have this META tag. I've updated the one supplied with IQ. You should copy this to your user folder and re-start IQ
    • To test, on a new item, in the HTML pane, turn on Code view and see it the tag is there
    • Known issue: Bold, Italic, Color, etc commands will corrupt your text. You can still enter formatting codes by hand. There may be others, keep an eye open and report back
 
0.9.26PreRel66 (2016-01-19)
  • New: Grid: Mouse move over a link (.lnk) shows the link target. It will also update the link if the file was moved since the last time it was opened.

    Precede with = and enter functions, such as sqr or even len([SomeField])
