A few months ago, a dozen or so regulars from OutlinerSoftware had this discussion on Google Wave. Unfortunately, Wave does not have any kind of print/export feature, so here is a copy of the first blip (which served as a summary). Those interested can participate in this wave.

———————————————

All numbers seem to be rounded and I can't find a way to change that.

 

To verify what I'm talking about, add this in the row equation section of any number field (just make sure to erase it afterwards !!!) :

 

2*2.2

 

Go in your grid, click on the field and perform a re-calculation (shift-f9). You should get 4 and not 4.4.

 

 

 

Anybody here knows how to change that behaviour ? Pierre ?

 

Seems to be built in IQ, but I'm asking just in case I'm missing something.

This cannot be accomplished by hoist because hoist isolates item within same view, i.e. column sets, etc

 

What I'm asking about is viewing an item in a brand new view / window w/o columns, i.e. just item & children

 

Comments?

Using a netbook, standard setup, latest IQ buld

 

Situation: @ a mtg, taking notes in html pane and needed to scroll down but couldn't find verticle scroll  bars either for IQ or pane. Odd. Can anyone test this on a netbook.  Tks.

Pierre, my experience mirrors Armando's description. Could you take a look at this. I take my netbook to all mtgs, take notes in html pane & am frustrated / confused every time.

 

Thanks.

Hi Pierre,

 

Currently, the tasks/projects related "efforts" are null when a task/project doesn't have a duration. Plus, "effort" has a fixed "scale" (days).

 

It would nice and would allow more personal (and efficient in my case) use if efforts could :

 

1- have a definable scale (e.g. :  1 = 8.3%, so that I could use it to build the graphic on an hourly scale instead of a day scale that doesn't mean much to me outside of long term projects -- nbr of hours per day seems spent on a project seems like a better effort indicator...)

 

2- be displayed in the effort graph even if the task doesn't show a duration in the gantt chart (the black diamond in the gantt).

Doesn't need more explnations I think...

 

When Gantt Overview is on, "multi level" column headers (set in manage grid dialog) are partly hidden.

When  I use the gantt chart, I'm plagued with all kings of errors of that type :  "Wrong number of arguments"  "invalid property assignment"

 

 

Here's an example of my functions :

 

Nothing more to say --- When no grid is loaded : manage grid dialog is dysfunctional (half empty and not possible to edit all grid properties).

Gantt : after setting non-working hours, IQ freezes when tryin to open the Gantt panel.

 

This doesn't seem to happen in an empty DB (there are other problems mentioned in another post though)

 

Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this... Seems like gantt chart doesn't like some of my data. I'd appreciate some help as I can't use that useful feature.

 

Thanks.

I don't know why it happens sometimes and not others, but I suspect that some settings are kept only until the gantt pane is shown by the grid -- and then if some item hours (taskactend-start) don't match with  the  "non working hours" being set in the management dialog, settings are erased.

 

In any case, it's only one of the problems linked to the grid management window (like : some changes don't stick when they are made in the grid management dialog and the modified grid is opened in the background). All these need too be sorted out as they are super time consuming.

 

 

Some confirmation for these grid management dialog problems should be confirmed.
