(Minor) Tooltips suggestions : 1-in properties pane : long time to appear (and sometimes don't) 2- Grid tabs : no tooltips ?

Submitted by Armando on 2010/05/18 11:29
Since we've had another tooltip "bug", I thought about mentioning these ones too (been in my list for a while)
 
1- The tooltips in the properties pane take a long while (about 4s) to appear, compared to others
They're immensely useful, so it'd be good if they could appear a bit quicker (and reliably -- sometimes they don't appear, but I'm not sure why as it doesn't happen too frequently... I think it has to do with  the grid focus)
 
2- On mouse over grid tabs and buttons : it would be nice to have the various grid info in a popup. I think it used to work, but it doesn't here (well, I don't use the "grid buttons" an a toolbar, so I can't tell about this one, but they don't appear in the grid menu.
 
Can add to mantis if confirmed, wanted, etc.

Tool tips in the Add Item dialog

Submitted by Jibz on 2010/05/18 10:38
Another minor issue.
 
Some of the tool tips displayed when hovering over the check boxes of the Add Item dialog (Ctrl-N) appear to be wrong.
 
Three of them, including the assign to In-Box check box display "MHT keeps local copy of style sheets and images".
 
The assign to Current Grid check box displays a tool tip with a line break that doesn't seem to work.

Highlight button for HTML Editor, like in Word

Submitted by Jibz on 2010/05/18 07:14
As far as I can see there is no button available in the HTML Editor that works like the Highlight button in MS Word. You can change the background color, but that involves a few steps including choosing the actual color every time.
 
If there is indeed no such button, I would like to suggest adding it. Basically, you select some text and press the button (or shortcut) and it will change the background color to yellow (or whatever color you chose). The button has a drop down that lets the user select a different color if desired.

HTML pane doesn't save content

Submitted by Jibz on 2010/05/18 05:47
Ok, I am certain I am missing something totally obvious here, but I have been failing at adding a comment to an item with the HTML pane for 10 minutes.
 
I have a grid open with a number of items. I open the HTML pane, and select an item, then I write some stuff into the HTML pane. I navigate to a different item in the grid, and back to the first one, and the HTML pane is empty.
 
Auto-save is enabled in the file menu, but I still tried the Save button, still nothing.
 
I tried Create a new HTML document, still doesn't remember a thing.
 
I tried checking the ItemHasHTML property, still nothing.
 
What am I doing wrong?

Map View dialog cancel

Submitted by Jibz on 2010/05/17 03:57
This is as minor a report as it gets, but here it goes ..
 
When you click Map View in the Grid menu and you have selected a different item than last time, you get a dialog asking you if you want to use the last or the current item. Closing this dialog instead of selecting one still opens the map view. Imho that should cancel the map view instead.

New Grid

Submitted by Jibz on 2010/05/17 03:51
I would like to suggest adding "New Grid" to the main Grid menu. It was the first place I went to try and create a new grid. The second place was the File menu, but under New there you can only create databases.
 
I know there's a button for it in the "grid bar" and in the Grid button on the toolbar, but as far as the main menu goes, the Grid menu is the logical place I think. A sub-menu of the View menu is certainly not.
 
I don't know if it might be worth adding a "New Item" to the Item menu as well?

Hoist Peculiarity

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2010/05/16 18:46
 If user focuses on outline child or grandchild & clicks the main hoist button, hoist does not seem to work properly
OTHO, if user focuses on outline child or grandchild & clicks hoist from the drop down menu of the hoist button, hoist works properly
Anyone else?

Calendar printing not working?

Submitted by srv181 on 2010/05/16 15:24
Not sure if this is a bug or not:
calendar print preview looks fine, sending to printer seems to work, but nothing gets printed
same thing if I choose a pdf creator as printer - it creates an empty page
 
this occurs with the portable version on 2 different pcs, one running vista and one on windows nt
 
Thanks for any information on this,
Susanne
