[sorry about the formatting... It's damn hard to format stuff with this HTML editor]

 

It seems that if I have an apostrophe sign in the life mane, the hyperlink doesn't work.

I don't know whether I did something or not, but I can't select just a single cell. When I'm trying to do that, the whole column is selected.  Tried repair.

Thanks, Jay

I am sorry, but despite the enticing subject this is not a concept for a new TV show but rather my first adventures with the IQ calendar .

 

So .. I open the calendar, and it's on the current date in the week view (Tue 4th of May 2010). I wanted to go to September 3rd, so I clicked on the '4' in the navigation panel at the top where the tooltip read "Click to select date".

 

I moved to September and clicked '3', and to my surprise that immediately put me on August 30th. Ok, I thought, I'll just use the arrows to set the date and month instead. So I pressed the up arrow on "aug" to get to September, and that put me at September 27th.

I was wondering if it would be possible to provide a HTML Help (CHM) version of the InfoQube User Manual?

 

I've been browsing through it, and it looks like it would be a great help in getting into IQ, but this site is so painfully slow it's annoying to read it online.

 

I searched for it of course, and read the suggestions about saving the printer friendly version, but chm is a far better format with it's index and search functionality.

 

Also, I bet a lot of users who first install IQ will quickly move to the 'Help' menu and only find 'About' there

.

Hey,

 

Let me start off by saying I am one of the people who really want to like IQ. The concept behind it seems great, but I've been turned away by the complexity of the implementation of it in the past. Anyway, I am trying it again, and just installed the latest portable version.

 

I created a new database with sample data, and started to click my way through the Welcome grid when I got a dialog saying "Replace the current content with the page: about:blank?".

 

This seemed slightly strange, so I proceeded to click around between the items in the Welcome grid and the dialog seems to appear more or less randomly when switching. It doesn't seem to matter if I press yes or no.

 

Just wanted to let you know, since it doesn't induce the greatest confidence as a first impression to get random warnings.

I just tried most or all of the links on the IQ Sample Database/Templates page; all lead to 404 error pages.

While waiting for a more sophisticated numbering feature in IQ, why not just include a feature/function which would renumber selected items using the "Order" field in 2 different ways :

 

1- Restart numbering : from 1 to Last item in selection

2- Continue numbering : from x to Last item in selection

3- Loop numbering : from x to y

4- Field : [user specified field -- Order would be the default field.]

 

"x" or "y" are a user defined values.

 

(since IQ's pasting mode "loops" (or "repastes") the pasted patterned whenever there are selected available, option #3 would be very usefull when renumbering a recurring pattern of items)

 

How would this work, UI wise ?

 

1- the feature would be accessible from the item context menu --> renumber.

Does anybody have any experience running IQ on a MAC Pro?  I've searched the IQ database and although I understand it can supposedly be done I can't find any recent relevant info in that regard.  Can IQ be loaded directly into the MAC OS, or does it have to be loaded into the Parallels Desktop environment?  If loaded into the Parallels environment, how is the performance - fast or sticky or smooth or clunky - and how is ease of use on the MAC and with other concurrently loaded software?  As I'm seriously considering the switch to MAC Pro, I'd appreciate hearing from anybody with any experience and thoughts to share is this regard.

thanks much
