Odd InfoQube behaviors

Submitted by woodworker on 2012/03/08 16:04
  1. odd cursor behavior in html window. I do a lot of cut and paste. The program seems to automatically start a new line after I paste text... sometimes I have to backspace and then hit enter, because even though the cursor is on a new line, the text I am pasting appears at the end of the text on the line above. This somehow causes a re-formatting of part of the preceeding text.
  2. under items, sometimes when I create a new subitem it automatically creates a copy of the subitem, except as a master item. When I go to delete the copy item, the original also disappears. I have no idea what I am doing, if anything, to cause this to happen, but it is darned inconvenient.
  3. this has to do with the forum. After a day, or days, my password stops working. I have to report that "I can't remember my password" in order to obtain a link so that I may re-enter the same password.
Best Regards,

Importing of non-text files and storing files within the database

Submitted by martym on 2012/03/08 14:23
Hi folks,
 
  New to IQ but long time URP user. I really like the grid concept (kind of like ZOOT programmable folders) but I really miss not being able to store actual files within the database. In URP, I have 3 years of data (email, PDF, Excel, Powerpoint, Word, web pages) stored in a DB. I only have to back up one file and I'm never impacted by linked files being erased or moved. I've survived 4 computers and never lost any data.
 
  I know that linking to files is advertised as a feature. Any chance that you could also add storing the actual files within IQ? The information I manage is much more than text and I can't depend on a file link to remain accurate. I know I could make a copy of every file I wanted to save in the same folder as my IQ database but that is not quite the same as having them nicely compressed within the database.

arrow indicating hidden subitems is missing

Submitted by jimspoon on 2012/03/01 01:41
I am noticing a TLI that has hidden subitems but does not have the usual arrow icon indicating the existence of the subitems.  Instead the icon is the usual round icon that appears when an item does NOT have subitems.  If I click the round icon, the subitems appear, and if I then collapse the TLI again - THEN the arrow icon appears to indicate that the TLI has hidden subitems.  But if I refresh the grid - the icon goes back to what it was - the round icon without any indication that the TLI has hidden subitems.  Anybody else seen this?

email clipper for The Bat!

 Pierre, In your spare time    could you look at The Bat! from RitLabs.
 
I think they offer an easy way to integrate with their email client. It's an extremely fast product which I used to use & am switching over to again. I'm wondering if you could create a clipper for it as well. Thanks for your consideration. Jan

Forms

Submitted by Jon on 2012/02/28 15:36
I have a grid that has several check box columns. Several items have been ticked under column A, but most have not. I now want to untick the few items in column A and tick all of the items in column B. Unless the last selected item in one that has column A ticked, column a does not appear to be ticked at all (not grayed as in Windows convention, but blank) in the properties pane. Unless I have column A displayed in the grid and visually examine it, I will not know its correct status. Under this and similar conditions, the property pane provides incorrect information. This makes it useless if I want the grid to display the item only.
 
What gives?

Auto search glitch

Submitted by Jon on 2012/02/28 13:37
 This happens erratically, but frequently. I have auto search disabled in my grids. I close IQ. After restarting IQ, I find unexpected behavior when I start to type. The reason is that auto search is now enabled.
 
I did not enable it. Has anyone else experienced this?
 
Using W5.
