Calendar Sync Questions

Submitted by David_H on 2016/07/24 16:28
Pierre, do you have any idea how you are going to implement this yet?  Is there some type of cloud gateway that you can use so that it will enable those of us that use Outlook to sync?  I really don't care how it's done as long as I can do it.  For instance, IQ<>Google Calendar which I assume us Outlook users could in turn sync with our Outlook calendars?
 
Thanks

v78b copy as new item retains ItemParent field values displayed in Context Parent

Submitted by ethanrox on 2016/07/22 21:49
While trying to reproduce an issue from this thread, I came across something which perhaps shouldn't work the way it currently does.
 
 
If you copy an item from one grid and paste it into another grid choosing option ("1. Create new items and put them in this grid "), the "new item" is displayed with its Context Parents. There are two items with two different ID-Items having the same "Parent" although the "new one" is not shown under the parent. It might be because by copying the item, the field ItemParent is copied as well which is used for the "Context Parent View" (I am not sure, just speculating). Could the new item be created without the ItemParent, ItemGParent and have a "fresh start" so to speak :) ?
 

Default for scratch grid :open in new scratch grid instead of recycling the previous one?

Submitted by Armando on 2016/07/22 15:42
Hi,
 
I brought this up a while ago, IIRC.
 
The problem very frequently arises by clicking on some link that I don't expect to open in the scratch grid or by inadvertently clicking on anything that would open in a scratch grid  (e.g. clicking on a parent in the properties pane,by mistake...) and poof : current work in the scratch grids is... gone **.   : (

title bar display option - add {datemodified} keyword?

Submitted by jimspoon on 2016/07/21 16:39
I think it might be useful if we could configure the Title Bar to display the "date modified" of the database file.   Or, perhaps put this info in the lower right hand corner of the status bar.  Right now it seems that the time display is the current time, not the modified time stamp of the database file.

Remove Blank Values?

Submitted by David_H on 2016/07/21 01:36
When using a pop-up list items using that pop-up field can get assigned blank values.  Those blank values can then (at times) cause the item to show up in grids you don't want them to show up in.  How do I remove blank values??
 
Screenshot example attached, this item has a blank value of "type".  That causes it to show up in several grids that filter on type*.  How do I delete the (blank) value?!
 
Edit: OK, so it seems I can click on the blank value and clear it out.  Sometimes refreshing doesn't appear to work and i have to leave the grid and come back to see it take effect, so that's what was confusing me.
 
Thanks
 
*Yes, I know I could filter out blank values, but I want to know how to remove the blank value altogether.
 
 

How do I fix shortcut issue?

Submitted by WayneK on 2016/07/20 17:18
This is minor issue that has taken on some importance because it happens so much.  I use both Excel and InfoQube grid to create lists within cells.  In both cases, you have to enter a keyboard shortcut to start a new line.
 
The problem is: in Excel, the shortcut is Alt-return;  in InfoQube it's Shift-return.  It's an annoyance because I can never remember which is which.  At the least I have to pause and think about it and it's gotten to the point that I have a mental block.
 
I'd like to change either keyboard shortcut to match the other but can't figure out how.  Neither shortcut is listed under InfoQube shortcuts.  In Excel 2007 it looks like you have to download additional software and learn how to use it to change shortcuts.
 
Any ideas on how I can resolve what should be a simple problem?

Saved changes to fields in the fields properties dialog : very slow (V78)

Submitted by Armando on 2016/07/19 18:48
Each and every change to fields in the fields properties dialog now takes a long time to be recorded as -- from what I get -- everything is always updated simultaneously (grids, properties pane,etc.).
That might be  fine in a DB without too many fields or grids, but it's extremely slow in a DB with a lot of fields and grids.
 
(I'm primarily working with 77b,but I'm keeping a v78 handy.)

IQ backups (done *from* the software) don't record/remember layouts/opened tabs (even after DB being closed/reopened etc.)

Submitted by Armando on 2016/07/19 18:43
None of my manual** IQ  backups (done from the software) are able to later record/remember layouts/opened tabs (even after DB being closed/reopened etc.)
 
Apart from the different extension, what's the difference between a backup and the original file ? Shouldn't it be exactly the same ? Is there something I'm missing?
 
Thanks
**(I prefer manual backups with a shortcut key as I don't like to have automatic backups start at inappropriate moments - during a meeting, in the middle of sentence, etc.).
