Default Column Width?

Submitted by David_H on 2016/11/13 21:35
Is there a way to set this?  When I load a column set, I'd like it to load so that the column title is visible and not truncated.  Whenever I load a column set, I always have to manually adjust every column so they are the correct size.  In the user manual here there is a reference to what appears to have been some column sizing settings that were grid specific, however they appear to no longer exist?
 
Thanks

HTML Pane Request

Submitted by David_H on 2016/11/13 14:45
The new layout capabilities are incredible!  I think it has addressed about every layout wish I've ever had (and then some) except for one big issue - there is still no way to focus/maximize the HTML pane.  For those of us who do a lot of work there, I think it's just as desirable to be able to maximize the HTML pane as it is to maximize the grid panes (which is possible with the Hide Panes command).  Some possibilities:
 
- A "hide grids"" command that is the opposite of the "hide panes", leaving only the Panes open?
 
- A "maximize HTML" pane command?
 
Thanks

Tab Locations

Submitted by David_H on 2016/11/13 14:31
In version 85 it's now possible to combine panes like this, and use tabs at the bottom to switch between them.
 
 
 
Can we have these tabs at the top instead?  From a UI/UX perspective I believe the tab location should be consistent.  I also see under Tools > Options > General there is now the option to place tabs at the bottom.  If it's not too difficult, I'd think you'd just want that setting to apply universally.  i.e. if it's unchecked ALL tabs should be at the top (grid window AND panes), if checked, ALL tabs at the bottom (grid window AND panes).
 
Thanks

Crash setting backup folder

Submitted by Tom on 2016/11/13 12:41
Unable to reproduce this, so just reporting for the record:
 
I wanted to add a backup folder in options 2.4.6, using the dialogue box (was previously making backups in same folder as the file)
Noticed there was no create folder button
Navigated to my folder, noticed [OK] was greyed out
At this stage I either double clicked the folder, or maybe the greyed out OK button (I know: why?)
IQ crashed with error details below.
 
On restart, everything fine: add folder dialogue was complete and all worked fine.

Menu Consistency (minor suggestion)

Submitted by WayneK on 2016/11/13 12:07
I have a very small suggestion for improving the user interface:  as much as possible, the menu arrangements should be consistent.  Where items are shown in different menus, they should be shown in the same order.  When you use a menu over and over, your mind subconsciously starts remembering where items are located, and your eyes automatically go to the correct spot.  This process is interfered with when menus show items in different order.
 
For example, the column pulldown menu is on the left; the column context menu is on the right:
 

Grid Naming: what's permitted?

Submitted by Tom on 2016/11/12 15:44
This is minor, but I had a good look in the manual, but couldn't find what's permitted in Grid names.
 
IQ 85a / Win.7
I caused a crash by creating a grid using an ampersand - '&' e.g. O&E
 
I got the error:
---------------------------
InfoQube
---------------------------
Error opening grid. Check grid source criteria.

OK

Layout Issues

Submitted by David_H on 2016/11/12 13:09
I'm going to use this thread to report any issues I experience with the new ability to dock grids in any pane.  I'm on version 85a.  So far I've experienced (2) issues.
 
1. At the moment my Home Page keeps opening new pages in the Home page tab group.  No matter what I try, I can't get it to open tabs in the larger tab group.  I haven't been having this issue with my laptop, but I am with my desktop.  I have 85 on my laptop, 85a on my desktop in case that's the cause.
 
2. When opening the program I keep finding my rearrangement to be gone and it's like I'm back to some basic stock setting.  I just started using Grid > Save and so far that has stopped it.  IF that is required and why it has stopped happening, IMO IQ should warn a user open close and prompt them to save their grid layout.
 
Thanks
