WYSIWYG editor - 2nd letter (or more) *always* skipped when entering text quickly in cell.

Submitted by Armando on 2015/04/02 14:44
If I wait to see the first letter before typing the second one, or if I press F2 and wait a bit, it doesn't happen. But I'm not doing that when I type, and I probably shouldn't have to do it.
 
This problem doesn't happen in *normal* editing (NON-WYSIWYG), which is good. NON-WYSIWYG works well... don't break it!!! 
 

(The reason why I'm looking at WYSIWYG -- even if it feels a bit slower -- is because of the popup editor and the weird UNICODE references it leaves in my text. I need to use it for now.)

Timeline display options/logic

Submitted by Armando on 2015/04/01 20:33
 Hi Pierre,
I saw you added/fixed something concerning the timeline so I was reminded about this...
Are options planed for the timeline? Right now there aren't many advantages to use it instead of the Gantt.
 
I don't get the logic behind the vertical display of the data. Items seem to be distributed randomly -- here at least. Some kind of chronological logic  or display options would make it much more useful.

Synchronization between computers using Dropbox

It is possible to use the same IQBase on multiple computers.
 
Following a simple setup, you'll be able to seamlessly edit information in your IQBase using any number of computers. If an instance detects a change, it will inform the user and use the updated copy. No need to close each instance of your IQBase to be able to use it on another computer.
 
The synchronization typically uses a sync service, such as Dropbox (though a LAN / WAN setup will work too).
 

A- Setup Instructions

To setup, follow these easy steps:

1-Set-up folders

Let us assume that the user (User1) wants to have the IQBase in the folder IQBases of Documents. So on first computer (PC1):
  • MyIQBase1.SNDB is located in C:\Users\User1\Documents\IQBases
  • Backups can be located in C:\Users\User1\Documents\IQBackups

Shift+F2 - popup editor : Would it be possible to zoom ?

Shift+F2 - popup editor : Would it be possible to zoom ?
 
For me, the characters in the  popup editor are even smaller than the characters in my grids, and it makes reading difficult. I could probably increase the font size globally, but... it would then be too big in my grids.
Zooming would be a nice addition.
 

HTML unicode references appear in cell after editing with popup editor [details below]

If I'm not editing in WYSIWYG, the HTML unicode references will appear in the cell after editing with the  popup editor (Shift+F2)
 
Work aound : 1-turn on WYSIWYG for the field in the grid, 2-F2 to edit, 3-and then turn WYSIWYG off. HTML Unicode references seem to be reconverted in the process (?).

Same Item Under or Linked to Multiple TLI?

Submitted by David_H on 2015/03/26 20:19
One of the wonderful things about IQ is how easy is it to have items show up in multiple grids.  But what is the best way to relate an item to two TLI?  Example:
 
- You have a project TLI of "Move Office"
 
- You have a contact TLI in the address book for the property manager for new office building.  You make a call to him and want to log it and want it to appear as a record both under the project AND under his name in the address book?
 
Use the hyperlink feature??
 
Thanks
