I have added the ItemModified field as a column in a grid.  Even though the "Grid Auto Updates" is turned on for this grid in Manage Grids, when I enter new items into the grid, the ItemModified field does not get populated in the column for the new items until I press F5.  

 

I did find this in the Manual ( http://www.sqlnotes.net/drupal5/index.php?q=node/269 ) - is it because the change is made in the same grid and not from another grid that it is not auto updated to show the ItemModified value?

 

I have been experimenting and this is working great.

 

I assume you have set up email to IQ to poll a specific address for notes to import into IQ.

 

Put that "send to infoqube" address into your Google contacts on your Android device.

 

Install and launch the Mail Linker app.  It will present you with a list of your contacts.  Tap on your "send to infoqube" contact.  Mail Linker will create a shortcut on your Androiid home screen.  When you tap on the shortcut, your email app will launch and take you to a Compose screen with your "send to infoqube" address already filled in as the recipient.  In my case, it is Gmail that opens up.

 

Tap on the Subject line if you want the dictated text to appear in the Item field.

Mundane stuff again, but handicaps a lot.

 

EDIT// The Control key works to select non-contiguous items when clicking in the # column. //EDIT

 

Using the Control key to select multiple items (in item column) is not working here (normally used for selecting non-contiguous items or cells).

When I Ctrl-click the second item or cell, the first is deselected.

 

I'm sure this used to work, didnt it? or am I getting mixed up with excel ?

Either way, I still find it a handicap not being able to select items thus.

 

tested on:

Just curious, is it possible to set grid filter and sorting criteria by script?  Or to change Infoqube / Grid settings that way? 

 

Looking at the Visual Basic Editor, I don't see any way to execute a command "immediately", but I suppose that I could define a function and the use the "Execute a Function" button in lieu of that.

Wah, i had sent several emails but now I found I can actually post here.... thats good,

 

Lets start with my current confustion for my 1st post:

 

I had imported an Ecco database,

I'd like to turn the 'Item' values into a new field so that I can edit it.

Is this possible to create a new field to fetch or copy/paste value/text from the 'Item' field ? but only for those items basis a filter?

 

Thank you.

Here is another "moon shot" suggestion or more likely a dream, but hey, who expected pen input into IQ?

 

I have long wanted an easy way to take notes with my voice recorder and get a transcription into my information manager.  To my knowledge no such beast exists.

 

The key is to be able to take quick voice notes on the fly, without even looking at the mobile device, and this is not really possible with a phone app.  Too many steps.  So I use a voice recorder.  And I end up with MP3 recordings.

 

Right now I transcribe them using Dragon Naturally Speaking.  But my version of DNS doesn't do batch processing (the professional version is outrageously priced).  So first I merge them into one big MP3 file, then drag and drop it into DNS.  I have to orally dictate the date and time into the voice recordings, which is a pain.

 I use a program called Linkman to manage my bookmarks, and it's great, but IQ would be better ...

 

If only there were a "Bookmark All Tabs to Infoqube" function for Chrome / Firefox etc.

 

I know this is an exotic suggestion but what the heck.

 

 

Pierre, I know you're up to your eyeballs with Surface etc. so this way down the list.

 

Pasting two lines of text (one carriage return) into a single cell in IQ,

I get this dialogue:

 

 

on first reading I missed the line at the very top "Clipboard contains two lines", but even with that, I found the options confusing

 

#1 says: "Paste 1 lines..."  why one line, when there's two? This is confusing, why not just 'Paste lines ...' ?

I havent created new popup list in a long time:

The  manual page is: Multi-select Pop-up Lists

 

I tried it in a couple of fields using the 'Auto-list of values'

Manual says:

> Auto-lists ...

My Dropbox folder has a different path on each machine -- I checked the Dropbox sync page to see if it should have the same path on each machine.
