Can't open iq file no 2 - genuinely basic getting started question

Submitted by sfinxx on 2010/01/07 02:41
 
Hi,
 
So my situation can be summed up as follows:

After years of tedious search for "my" all-in-one pim, notetaker, organizer, task/project/information manager, outliner ... , reading lots of program descriptions and even more forum discussions - such as donationcoder, outlinersoftware and similar - after a number of disappointing practical efforts with quite a number of programs, such as eccopro in particular I finally decided that infoqube must be what comes closest to what I'm looking for.

But unfortunately I cannot get infuqube to work. I can start Infoqube OK - empty, without database. I can create a new file, and I can save it. But when I want to (re)open a file the program hangs and I can't do anything but force it to close using the task manager. But I cannot start Infoqube by clicking on a database file icon.

Calendar - Recurrence issue

I'm not sure if this is a bug per se, but it is a convenience issue for sure! I have been entering my work schedule into the calendar in pre-release 13 and have been making use of the recurrence feature. Everything works great EXCEPT for the fact that by default the recurrence flag is checked for Monday, rather than the day of the week that the event was entered for. Further, checking the flag for the correct day does not clear the flag for Monday, resulting in duplicate entries if one is not paying attention...

On-line version of InfoQube based on GWT - Proposals ?

Submitted by Pierre_Admin on 2010/01/06 14:18
Are there any Google Web Toolkit (GWT) developers around ?
 
The reason I ask is that one could quite easily build an online version of IQ (albeid with limited functionality) using this framework and these components:
 
This, combined with the now super easy sync services, such as Dropbox, could be used to make an online, client-less and free version of InfoQube. Not the full functionality, but a decent subset.
 
This is not something I have the time to tackle before releasing V1.0, but I wanted nevertheless send the idea out...
 

Really basic getting started questions

Hi,
 
I'm in the crowd of ex-Agenda, ex-Ecco, users, so I get the basic idea of InfoQube (which I just heard about through the James Fallows mention).  I'm excited to try it.
 
But I'm finding the "Getting Started" documentation too dense.  I need some basics:
 
* If I'm starting to create items, how do I take an item I've already created and turn it into a child item?
 
item 1
item 2
item 3
 
becomes
item 1
   item 1.1 (formerly item 2)
   item 1.2 (formerly item 3)
 
* What does it mean to "hoist" an item(s)?
 
Maybe there's a section of the Getting Started that I'm missing that has this kind of information?  Sort of a "If you're not familiar with InfoQube, try the following steps to create your own

New Item entry point & Insert Time only w shortcut

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2010/01/06 10:43
Hi Pierre,
 
When entering a sub-item w <CTRL><ENTER> when other sub-items are already present, IQ opens newest item @ bottom so  for example
If I were entering item 3 below item 2, i would  focus on Pierre & <CTRL><ENTER>
If I were entering item 3 & I wanted it before item 1, I would focus on item 1 & <ALT><SHFT><ENTER>
 
Pierre
-- item 1
-- item 2
 
I'm wondering if this can be simplified so user could focus in same place -- let's say Pierre --
and
<CTRL><ENTER> would add new child at bottom (i.e. under item 2)
while
<CTRL><SHFT><ENTER> would add a child immediately under the parent (i.e.

Can't open file

Hi,
 
I'm unable to get InfoQube to run. The program hangs, whenever I try to open a file. I can create a new file and save it. But I cannot open it. I tried quite a number of things already. Among others I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, cleaned my system thoroughly, received a copy of a installer with some changes and installed it.
 
I still have the same problem. Here's the errorlog.txt file. My system is Windows 2000 Server Professional and FF 3.0.14
 
Anyone there who can help?

Desktop Search integration

Submitted by lucky_phil on 2010/01/05 21:55
Windows desktop search is an incredibly usefull function, improved in vista, and better again in 7. For those that don't know, in addition to doing searches for simple strings you know are in either a document or email, you can also be much more specific with it by adding control tags, e.g. from:phil, subject:holidays, author:, date: etc, etc, etc.
 
Here's a couple of links to help you drive this great function:
 
I regularly use it to find a email, or a document across all the archives in miliseconds.
 
Which leads me to my suggestion.
