change track pages to show actual datetime rather than elapsed datetime

Submitted by reesd on 2011/04/19 16:09
Hi Pierre,
 
Would it be possible to change one of the track pages (http://www.sqlnotes.net/drupal5/index.php?q=user/63/track or http://www.sqlnotes.net/drupal5/index.php?q=user/63/xtrack) to show the actual datetime (4/17/11 11:25am) rather than the elapsed time (4 min 24 sec ago)? That would allow us to use site tracking tools on those pages like update scanner. See http://www.sqlnotes.net/drupal5/index.php?q=node/2075 for background.
 
Thanks,
d

Is the "save" button in the grid menu necessary ?

Submitted by Armando on 2011/04/18 22:07
this is something that puzzled many users during the last few years : do they need to press save or not...
 
 IQ seems to be doing all "saving" automatically. 1 questions and 1 suggestion :
 
- Are there situations where a user might want to press ctrl-s to save the grid state?
 
- if there are situation where it's necessary to press save, could the button be renamed to something more specific  ?(e.g. : "save grid state", or "Save grid aspect & filters"...)

Problem editing items/fields in properties pane ?

Submitted by Armando on 2011/04/18 21:50
In the properties pane :
 
F2 selects current content, and there's no way -- except by pressing shift f2 -- to be able to type without erasing content. (It's been like that for a long time I believe, maybe since the beginning. Had it in my list but ... :) )
 
Not sure if that's by design or not... But it's not very intuitive IMO.
 
F2 should function like in the grid : enter edit mode an put cursor at the beginning of data.
If one needs to select+erase the whole content --> ctrl-a or simply press delete when focus is on data (without being in edit mode).

Properties pane : icon in a field name/description with drop down selection/date: F2 causes prop.pane freeze

iF there's an icon in a  field name/description with drop down selection/date : properties pane usually freeze. There might be exceptions.
 
 
 
There are a bunch of other ones like that in Mantis.

Preserve concurrent sorting/filtering modes in multiple instances/windows of the same grid, after a refresh.

Submitted by Armando on 2011/04/18 21:10
Right now, it's possible to have at least 2 opened windows/instances of the same grid with 2 different filter sets and 2 different sort text box filters sets. Refreshing any grid (F5) keeps the settings without reverting to the last active grid sort/filter set. Which is great.
 
Would it be possible to have the same flexibility but with the sort bar and grid filter too? i.e. : the sort bar and sort text box + the grid filter & the filter text box could be used "concurrently" in 2 different instances/windows of the same grid.
 
E.g.: in one instance of my inbox grid I'd use the sort bar to sort, and in a second instance of the inbox grid, I'd use the sort text box. Refreshing one or the other after making modifications (i.e. : changing the grid filter) doesn't revert to the other's sort settings.

When "Add item" dialog is NOT on autoclose: after pressing the add item button (alt-a), the item text should be "auto selected"

(Add item dialog (ctrl-n or win-n)  NOT on autoclose : after pressing the the add item button (alt-a), item text should be "auto selected" )
 
That would serve 2 purposes :
 
1- give feedback to user --> item has been effectively entered into the dB
2- allow the user to automatically type to create a new entry.
 
If others are interested, I'll add it to mantis.
