Creating file links (option to point to shortcut instead of actual file): Broken

Submitted by Armando on 2016/11/15 14:34
Option to link files by creating a shortcut to the file ("Link should point to : shortcut to the file") : doesn't work anynore.
It creates extra empty folders in *.SNDB named after the file.
 
- created a test.txt file
- dragged it to IQ
- a bogus folder/link is created in the SNDB (e.g. E:\IQ\*.SNDB.files\test.lnk\(empty))
 
Not sure when that started, since I've mainly used 83.
 
 
 

Why are dupes showing up?

Submitted by WayneK on 2016/11/15 11:47
Can someone help me understand why duplicate items are showing up in my To Do grid?
 
I have my tasks organized into projects (TLI's).  Underneath these are subitems representing subprojects and individual tasks.  I have a column for categories and one for priorities.  I repeatedly use column filters to look at various categories and priorities.
 
After doing this a few times, I find new TLI's appearing that are duplicates of subitems.  They have the same Item ID as existing subitems, which still appear in their proper places.  If I move the dupe subitem to its proper location with its original version, the two items merge and the dupe disappears.
 
This is happening over and over again.  Any idea what I could be doing to cause this?

Hide Panes, docking etc

Submitted by DavidF on 2016/11/15 05:53
hi,
 
Pierre, you suggested F11 could perhaps no longer perform a Hide/Show Pane function and do this toggling between docked/undocked business. For what it's worth, can I cast my vote for a plain and simple hide/show panes function whether it's F11 or something else. I don't spend a lot (well, any) time shifting between docked and undocked in my usage. My practice is to create the layouts I want, with panes in the position I want for that purpose, save them and load them as required. Then, regardless of what the particular layout is, I have F11 to remove the panes and put them back as required. I find this quick ability to unclutter the screen incredibly useful and I would hate to see it go.

Alt+F6 & F7 (cycle though panels)

Submitted by Tom on 2016/11/15 05:48
Love the idea of Alt+F6 and Alt+F7
 
First impressions and some problems/queries
 
Alt+F6
=> with *either* the Home Page, or the HTML pane on autohide, it will not cycle properly through the panels. First round seems to be okay, but then it starts skipping the properties pane - you can see it gets focus for an instant, but the the focus jumps to the Home Page.
 
=> As said elsewhere would be nice to have a colour indication when one of the grid areas has focus.
 
Alt+F7
=> this will cycle through the Properties, HTML, and Hompage panels, but does not allow access to the grids (all of which are shown though).

Program Settings-Grids-Selected Items back color BUG

Submitted by ethanrox on 2016/11/15 04:48
I am setting up 0.9.86 on a new PC and I cannot get the setting "Selected items back color" to the desired color. The last "digit" gets always reset.
 
Example:
I want to set &H0098FB98&...
No matter if it is copy-paste or regular keyboard input -> when I leave the InputBox with either escape or TAB, the last digit resets to 0 or F.
->&H0098FB90&

Active Pane/Workspace Small UI Suggestion

Submitted by David_H on 2016/11/14 19:30
When moving around between all the different panes, whatever pane is active is highlighted.  However when moving back to the workspace, it is not highlighted, you can only tell it is active by virtue of none of the panes being active.
 
Is there any way for the workspace to be highlighted just like a pane when it is active?
 
Thanks

Panes and docks and focus...

Submitted by DavidF on 2016/11/14 18:38
hi Pierre,
 
sorry, this (0.9.86) isn't doing what I expect... Pressing F11 makes the layout alternate between the the panes being visible, and then getting undocked and relocated way down in the corner such that only part is visible... Or else, in a layout where I have HTML and Properties as tabs within the same pane, pressing F11 randomly puts now the HTML Pane, now the Property Pane down into the corner, leaving the other pane in place.
 
[edit: just noticed David_H has reported the same issue in the announcements forum, and a bit more clearly as well!]
