How do I print out a grid, without the # column?

Submitted by Anonymous on 2008/12/14 16:54
I've tried selecting just the columns I want to print, but that doesn't seem to work. There doesn't seem to be an option in the print dialog, and you can't hid the # column.
 
I've looked at options for the specific grid, and I've looked at system wide grid options, and for special printing options, but still haven't found it.
 
So how do I prevent the # column from printing?
 
Thanks!

Items & Grids - Lots of Confusion, Lots of Questions

Submitted by David_H on 2008/12/14 10:57
I am dying to give up OneNote and fully move to IQ, and if some kind soul can help me to understand the issues I'm about to detail ready to purchase IQ.
 
Please agree wth and/or correct or elaborate on any of the following statements/questions.
 
1. Grids are not containers, they are views.  Simple enough.
 
2. Items in IQ may have relationships to other items but they are Not defined by those relatioships, i.e. they exist on their own, independent of any other item.
 
3. Fields are used to save information about items.  Should I look upon fields as "types" of items, or is that not a good way to look at it?
 
4. When I create a grid in IQ, a field is created automatically.  Why?  If a grid is just a view, why does a new field have to be created for every new grid?
 
5.

Things I Hope to See on the Calendar

Submitted by David_H on 2008/12/13 23:41
One of the things I loved about Ecoo is that like so many other aspects of task management, the designers actually understood (IMHO) the "nature" of tasks, in this instance they understood that tasks and calendar events were just ITEMS, i.e. just items with slight different properties.  i.e. just as everything in IQ is just an "item" with different properties, as opposed to Outlook where a task item is different than a contact with is different than a note etc. any item in Ecco could be a calendar item and so on.  That being said, here is how I am hoping IQ implements the calendar:
 
1. ANY item should be able to show up on the calendar simply by assigning the nessecary calendar attributes to it (date, start time, end time etc.).  For lack of a better term I will call these scheduled tasks.
 
2. Non-scheduled tasks (i.e.

Multi-Field Editor - When is it Coming?

Submitted by David_H on 2008/12/13 23:16
So far it seems that IQ can do just about anything Ecco could do and more (with the exception of calendar that is coming soon).  But the one thing not here yet is a pop-up window that allows multiple selections.  Yes, I know this could be accomplished in other ways, but none of them seem practical.  Is there a reason this is not out yet?  Is it (I hope) definitely coming?
 
BTW, I am using Pierre's teminology here.  In Ecoo it was a pop-up box in a column from which one could select one or more entries (depending on how it had been defined).  For example, it might pop up a list of 20 team members, and I could select 3 of them for the task.
 
Refer to this thread from the old forum for a more thorough discssion:

OT - Outlining - How Can Anyone Live Without It?

Submitted by David_H on 2008/12/13 15:09
Hopefully a little OT is OK.  As a former Ecco user who moved away from it due to it no longer being supported, and a current OneNote user transitioning to IQ, one thing has really hit me after using IQ for a very short time.  How much I MISSED being able to outline, and how devastating not being able to outline is to my productivity (I have to waste time with endless workarounds in other programs).  It seems to me that outlining is one of the CORE features necessary for any productiviy application that is meant for anything beyond the most basic tasks.  Yet amazingly, there are virtually no business applications beyond personal PIM's made by small companies that support it!  Not Outlook, not Lotus Notes (to my knowledge), not a single CRM or business application that I can think of.  Yet all of these products are supposedly about helping people manage their tasks and schedules.  The only place you find outlining in any forum in a business applic

Column Filter only filters on first word?

[not really a bug? more like unexpected behaviour]
 
using Ctrl+G / Column Filter on the Item Field column
 
I'm searching for a song called something like Green Fields of Canada (!)
so I type Green
but it isnt found - turns out the name is "The Green Fields of Canada"  - so, it looks like it filters on the first word in the field
 
This has most probably been mentioned before but couldnt find it on this site or mantis so thought I'd post
 
 
Will it be possible, or, should it be possible to filter on a word in the middle of - is "a string" the correct term? 
e.g. "Green" in the above example
 

?.sndb is not a "valid Win32 application

Submitted by jhondrick on 2008/12/11 21:24
When I used the installed version, I could open a database file and the program would come up.
Now, with the portable version, I get this unfriendly error: "?.sndb is not a valid Win32 application,"  on files that the program, otherwise, opens normally.  Do you know how windows decides such things, or how I can make this work again?
 

Item editing

Submitted by jhondrick on 2008/12/11 19:43
While I have noted improvement in data entry functionality, there is still a lack.  In ECCO, the cursor in an item ment that you were all set to edit it.  However, IC seems to operate more like excel, which is a poor choice for data entry.  I really would like to use it like ECCO, but if this is not possible, an Access workalike is much more desirable.  Is there a place to set keys and functions.

Bug or feature? File images specified with tree column

Submitted by Anonymous on 2008/12/11 14:03
Currently, the image file specified in the file fields  only appears  in the child  of  a tree column item (usually the Item field).
 
If you change the tree column, the image follows along. So you can't separate the image functionality from the tree functionality.
 
It might be useful to specify one field as the image display field.
