Hoist function.... In the properties pane ?

Submitted by Armando on 2010/11/25 14:57
I don't know it that's an unfeasible / unpractical crazy idea... But it seems reasonable to me :-)
 
Would it be nice if we could hoist/unhoist a portion of the properties pane (a form, a section, a parent in the "available fields", etc.)?
It'd provide a way to isolate sections when working on specific fields.
 
Opinions?

Constantly loose the Word Wrap column settings for many grids (M)

Submitted by Armando on 2010/11/25 14:11
I constantly loose the Word Wrap column settings for many grids. But it doesn't seem to happen in all grids. Sometimes I'll set a column/field to Word Wrap and it'll stick, sometimes it won't and every time I close/re-open the grid, I have to set the word-wrap again on all the columns which need it.
 
Anybody else ?

11/25/2010 the perl script Jibz uses to create the CHM file.
 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

# Convert dumped printer friendly version of the online drupal user manual
# to a chm compilable state.
#
# Pass filename as arg.

use strict;
use open IO => ":utf8"; # all files are assumed to be utf8

# get filename from command line
my $filename = shift || die "syntax: dump2chm.pl <html file>";

# open html dump file
open FH, "<$filename" or die "couldn't open $filename";

# open files used by the chm compiler
open my $pfile, ">index.hhp" or die "couldn't open index.hhp";
open my $cfile, ">index.hhc" or die "couldn't open index.hhc";
open my $kfile, ">index.hhk" or die "couldn't open index.hhk";

IQ User Manual in CHM Format

Jibz came up with an automated way to create a quite useable  (CHM) HTML Help version of the onine manual.
 
He periodically updates runs his (perl) script, and posts the file to his dropbox account, and announces new versions in HTML Help (CHM) version of User Manual - Updated May 16th 2016
 
 Discussion is in HTML Help version of the manual?  
 
4/3/2011 Jibz' exact steps, in order for others to be able to create the chm manual:
  
Make sure you have Perl and the HTML Help Workshop installed.

["Main parent" bug] ItemParent field and Parents shown in the "parents" section of properties pane don't match.(M)

Submitted by Armando on 2010/11/22 13:11
I've discovered 2 items for which values in the ItemParent and ItemGparent fields don't match values shown in the "parents" section of properties pane.
I.e. : For 2 items, ItemParent and ItemGparent fields show some items names, but these names are no where in the "parents" section of properties pane.
 
I've tried a repair, but it doesn't change anything.
 
(discovered this bug because I use the ItemParent value to do some sorting.)

How to create simple mathematical row equation

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2010/11/20 16:43
I read thru the documentation & it was very clear but needed more detail for dummies like me.
Here's what I want to do for Project cost
I have worker hours & cost set up this way
Fields =
date
time in (24 hr format)
time out (24 hr format)
total hrs
rate
cost
 
so as I understand it I would need the following equations
total hrs = time out - time in
Equation for Field Total Hours might be something like =sum(time out-time in)
Equation for cost might something like =sum(total hrs*35)
 
I saw there were certain named function, i.e. sum, max, min, ave
but
what I don't know is what other terms are available, i.e.
