How to keep "scratch pad" and "search results" grids column (etc.) settings

Hello Pierre, everybody,

Is there a way to have scratch/search grids columns setup stick ? I have to reconfigure them constantly as they revert to some default each time they're reopened.

This is a newish behaviour it seems -- not sure when it started.

Thanks a lot!

Lost items recovery

Had another incident of multiple items suddenly disappearing from a grid while I was in the process of reorganizing.

I'm not worried about getting them back because I have backups.  But first I tried to recover them from within the file and ran into something I can't understand.

I found one of the items using Live Search.  It gave the grid assignment for the item, but when I go to that grid and apply a column filter, it's not found.

I'm trying to understand why it doesn't show up in its assigned grid.

Beginner Tutorial to Replicate Ecco Look & Feel

Hello all.

I have been using Ecco Pro since 1995. I love it, but am growing increasingly concerned with its data limitations and orphan status, and I have had a few scares with data corruption over the years.

For those reasons, I would like to transition to InfoQube, a modern program that was inspired by Ecco.

Database repair lock up

I tried to run a database repair on my new 160 mb file after getting a message about corruption.

An hourglass came up and remained unchanged for 45 minutes.  I finally killed the process to exit InfoQube.  Tried it twice more and it locked up again (though I waited only a few minutes this time).

Past repairs have taken only a few seconds so I presume these are lockups.  How should I proceed? 

Adding Times for ToDo's

I have a ToDo Grid with ToDo items that is filtered for some date (e.g. Today). The items are not subitems.
Each item has a number field to specify the task time.

1. Is it possible to calculate the total time for all the tasks that are shown in the Grid? (The sum could be shown in separate "total" column that would show the running total of all items.)

How to get day of the week back?

I recently had to delete day of the week from my Windows short date format in order to get InfoQube to function properly (eg with sorting and copy-special).

I really miss the day of the week display on my Windows taskbar.

I tried various combinations of date formatting in Win 10 but was unable to find anything that didn't interfere with InfoQube.
