Expand/Collapse in Doc Pane, Moving Hierarchical Content between Doc Pane and Grid

Submitted by jimspoon on 2025/03/30 14:26

I vaguely remembered that the Doc Pane had at least some "outlining" capabilities, so I searched and found this thread:

https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/comment/25741

From this thread, and from experimenting in the Doc Pane,

(1) clicking on a heading toggles between an expanded and a collapsed state (I think I had that working).  Also I can right-click a heading and then click Expand/Collapse.

AI Chatbots (Copilot etc) - saving output to File or IQ

Submitted by jimspoon on 2025/03/27 23:56

I am late to the AI Chatbot party but it could be a lot worse since ChatGPT only came out in 2022.  I've been using AI Chatbots a lot lately.  I started out with Copilot but lately I have been using Gemini more and mor.  Copilot seems to be focus on being very concise whereas Gemini gives a bit more detail in its first answer.  I've also tried ChatGPT, and there are quite a few others (Claude, Perplexity etc) that I have not even tried yet.

IQ Backup Options - am I understanding correctly?

Submitted by jimspoon on 2025/02/25 00:02

From https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/node/987

# 2.2.1   - Backups created on program close (# 2.2.1) use rotating numbers .SNBK0, .SNBK1 and .SNBK2 e.g TestFile.SNBK1 (where .SNBK0 is the current backup, .SNDB1 is 1 day old and .SNDB2 is 2 days old). This is NOT enabled by default.

IQ not recognizing that DB needs to be overwritten with sync folder DB file

Submitted by jimspoon on 2025/02/21 11:37

This has been a long term problem for me - an updated version of a database is in my desktop sync folder (on OneDrive), definitely containing data changes made on my laptop, but IQ running on my Desktop won't recognize that the sync folder file contains data changes, and won't prompt me to replace the desktop version with the sync folder version.   I've tried the usual tricks on my laptop - I've tried adding an item on my laptop, bolding text in an item, etc.

sync remote database via ODBC, how it works?

Submitted by jimspoon on 2025/02/16 00:50

After our recent discussion about JOINs I looked over the manual pages about ODBC and ODC, especially the page at https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/index.php/node/865 (Sync with a fictitious SQL Server database) and I just want to see how well I'm understanding ODBC sync.  Mainly I'm trying to understand how changes/additions/deletes in the remote database would sync to the IQ database.

Installation requests restart ("C:\Windows\is-G22QO.exe /REG /REGSVRMODE")

Submitted by lucasd on 2024/12/15 01:36

I mentioned a while back that installation of InfoQube had started requesting restart at the end. This is still the case. I never bother with the restart, but I found the request odd. I now have WinPatrol installed, and it tells me that IQ is creating the following startup task:

C:\Windows\is-G22QO.exe /REG /REGSVRMODE

It seems that maybe this is where the restart request comes from?

context parent TLI not sorting as expected

Submitted by jimspoon on 2024/12/03 16:35

Does a TLI that is a context parent sort the same way as TLIs that meet the grid filter?  I have a grid in which the sort order is set to "item desc".  The first TLI shown in the grid is a context parent, i.e. it does not meet the grid filter, though a subitem does.  The item text begins with "2017".  The second TLI shown does meet the filter, and the item text begins with "2024".  Based on the grid sort order of "item desc", the TLI starting with "2024" should appear before the item starting with "2017".  Any idea why these items are not sorting as I expected?
