what's new page, documentation updates, etc.

I frequently visit the What's New page at http://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/?q=tracker to see the latest forum posts, look for any program updates, etc.  Anyway I just wanted to call attention to the three tabs at the top under "What's New".  Check out the "Documentation Updates" tab - I had never noticed it before.  It shows the documentation updates in reverse chronological order and such provides a very useful guide to the latest IQ developments.
 
As usual many thanks to Pierre for all his hard work on this amazing program.

Drag and drop with columns

Submitted by LeftEccoForIQ on 2019/07/17 16:12
1. When dragging columns, it's impossible to move a column adjacent to the blank space at the far right (i.e. to make it the rightmost column) simply by dropping it there (the green indicators don't appear and the column isn't moved). Instead, I have to drop it directly left of the rightmost column, then drag and drop that rightmost column to the left of the columned I moved next to it.
 
2. When dragging to the extreme left, the green indicators appear to suggest the column would appear to the left of the row header, but on dropping, it is moved into the second slot from the left. This makes sense as the header should be in slot one, but I guess the indicators just shouldn't appear for that spot.

Paste multiple items vs. column to left of 'item'

With a text column dragged to the very left of a grid (in my case between the row header and 'item' column), when I paste multiple items while focus is on the item column, the new items are created, but the text from the clipboard is pasted into the leftmost column (which didn't have focus), rather than in the 'item' column.

Copying images to another database

Is there any way to copy Doc images from one database to another?  I'm moving items to a different file and found that none of the copy/paste options will transfer images in the Doc pane.
 
I was able to manually copy the images using paste special.  I was ok with doing that but now it's stopped working and I don't know why.  When working, it gives you the option to paste a bitmap image, but now that option does not appear with paste special.

Selection of associated date field on drag and drop to calendar

Submitted by LeftEccoForIQ on 2019/07/07 08:10
Pierre,
 
Could you please add a drop-down menu to select the target date field on the Event Details dialog (the one that pops up when dropping an item in the calendar)? ATM items will automatically have the date from the drag and drop operation assigned to the Appointments field, but say I want to keep appointments separate from todos (to use different colours for them in the calendar etc.). It would be great if I could choose that rght there on the dialog. As it is, I can use drag and drop to the calendar only for appointments, but have to add todos I want to show up in the calendar to the todos grid, which again makes them appear in the calendar. This works, of course, but the process is less intuitive.
 
Cheers
