Set Default Font for HTML Pane?

Submitted by David_H on 2009/04/29 15:17
I have reached the point with IQ where I want to use the HTML pane with a vengeance but the constant defaulting to Times Roman is stopping me.  Even in the same pane I often change the font and the next thing I know a few lines later it's back to Times Roman.  Am I doing something wrong?  Is there a way to override this?  I looked under options but cannot find any settings for the HTML pane.  Of course I'd also like to be able to set default font size etc.
 
To clarify, I want to set the default for ALL panes so I do not have to mess with it.
 
Thanks

send email from IQ

According to the thread @ How to set up gmail smtp server
I am supposed to be able to click on an email link to call my email client (Thunderbird)
I tried this both in a grid cell & form data column.
Nothing happened
Same for right clicking on an email & clicking the email icon
Is there a problem or am I missing something?

[IDEA] Word Wrap to particular length possible in HTML pane?

Submitted by Tom on 2009/04/28 07:41
I'm wondering if it's possible to wrap text to a particular length in the HTML Pane
 
I know it's not the way HTML normally works but I find it could be very helpful at times - say I want to export items to web page (with HTML Pane) and want to limit the text width to make it more readable. Of course then I'd probably want an unwrap at some stage! (it could be a temporary thing?)
 
Wanted to post about this following elsewhere, but I'll just mention it here:
I find export to web a very important aspect of the programme because it's how I show others information from IQ, which for me is an essential aspect of the programme.

There's a very interesting new thread at donationcoder "The evil of the horizontal scrollbar - and what we can do about it" started by Tranglos (author of KeyNote).
It about interfaces in programmes in particular.
 
I made a post about how IQ copes with this (locking columns and the Ctrl+Mouse wheel horizontal scrolling)
 

I need a suggestion for workflow

I keep a daily journal of events, calls, mtg notes etc in a special grid "Daily Logs"
The grid consists of
 
item = date
column = boolean Foloup
column = boolean pending
column = boolean priority
column = DateDone
 
Foloup is coded pink
Pending is coded yellow
Priority is coded red
DateDone is coded text gray & pending or foloup or priority background color is removed
most other grids are filtered to remove done items
 
All my notes are entered as children of date
if something needs to be followed up or is pending it is checked off, etc.
and it will appear in a GTD grid whose source = pending, foloup or priority
if a sub-item is related to a person in my contact list, I create a link to the contact name & take my tel conv notes there

options | Storage | backup folder doesn't exist

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/04/27 08:41
Program Menu | Options | This file | Data Storage settings are as follows:
 
create backup on program close = checked
auto-backup every x minutes (0=disabled) = 3
backup folder = f:\sqlnotes data backup
Timestamp backups = checked
compact on program close = yes
 
The problem is that the aforementioned backup folder does not exist
Am I supposed to create this folder for IQ?
Where has IQ been putting my backup files every 3 minutes?
How many backup files does IQ create?
 
There is a forced 'save as' if Menu | File
Would it be possible to add a forced save command as in <CTRL>+S in this same drop down

Pierre,  In some thread you mentioned that you had Gmail working w  IQ. I can't send via gMAIL because there aren't enough options for security settings. Could you please tell me how you've done it.
 
Thank you.
