Hi IQ Collaborators,

I'll do my best to post updates in this thread, as to what's keeping me busy.

HTH !

Comments

I imported an Ecco file for Joe Bissett and found a problem with it. Fixed
Fixed Tom's reported full-hierarchy display
Working on fixed Armando's XML copy/paste bug

After that, I'll release 0.9.25Pre-Rel25

Cheers !

OK, the XML copy/paste bug is now fixed...

Anything else critical needs fixing before I release 0.9.25Pre-Rel25 ?

> Anything else critical needs fixing before I release 0.9.25Pre-Rel25 ?

yes, html scrolling on netbook

Once pre-rel25 is released, I'll be sending you private builds to try to isolate the issue

ok, much appreciated

Hi Pierre, I'm a bit late for this one. Anything critical ? There are of course a few things that could be fixed.

Of the top of my head...This was considered major by myself a while ago (2-3 weeks ago):

0961

Inheritance bug with "can delete on item move"

Bug

major

It doesn't look like an "easy" thing to fix though. (?)

And maybe am I the only one noticing it.

As I went through the forum and mantis : some other suggestions (in no particular order).

Some of these might be quicker to fix than others, that's why I'm posting all of them... I know they can't (and shouldn't) all be included in the next release

- [Weird] scratch pane opens and shows wrong parent for item (and focus is on parent, not on actual "researched" item)

- Replace the current content with the page: about:blank

0940

Properties pane out of sync.

0979

Manage grids bug : Modifying the name of a newly created grid isn't possible if focus is moved to another grid and back again.

-	0943		No warning for inappropriate sub-item filter
-	0968		When an operator is missing in the filter text box (source bar), the filter fails silently

0953

Hierarchical (column) equation problem : row equation is performed (and/or has priority) even when it shouldn't

- 0951

"Sort sub items... " context menu option when R-clicking on the column header : misleading as it actually sorts TLIs

- 0985Manage grid dialog : multiple grid creation isn't possible (+ other related bug)

- 0957

General performance problems caused by 1-inheritance and 2-certain auto-assign rules

- 0941

Performance problem if Gantt is on and item hierarchy is being collapsed and shows empty rows.

Also somethings that are not necessarily critical, but seem to bother a lot of people are various printing issues.

e.g. : Superboyac from DC noticed that the WYSIWYG printing isn't nice : bullets appear as big black squares, check box are super thick. The big black squares are probably the biggest annoyance.

========================

BTW, these issues seem to be fixed : 0965, and maybe this 0947

Ah... This one is annoying (while not critical) :

0942

Win-N : Add Item dialog appears filled with previously clipped data

I'm going through the list of reported bugs / suggestions ...

Right-click on Gantt header displays Item Context menu instead of Gantt Context menu
When DateFilter and AlphaFilter are turned ON, they are not immediately applied.
Adding a Zoom slider to set the Gantt scale, so the Overview does not need to be visible to set the Gantt scale (and Gantt sub-menu is now detachable)

Ok, thanks.

Thanks for the update.

It sure seems like there is a lot to go through and consider what comes when...

I imagine it will be difficult to decide just where to draw the line and consider 0.9.25 "stable".

ok... what are you doing these days? When is the calendar w all bells & whistles including sync to google going to be ready? Thanks.

Hi Jan,

I was on holidays. I'm fixing reported bugs and added an info pane (shows info currently shown in tooltips). Next step is Google sync (tasks then calendar)

Thanks.

Thanks Pierre. Sounds good. Would you consider Google sync calendar first, then tasks?

For those not following updates in Mantis, I'm currently fixing the numerous issues with the Manage Grids dialog

**Latest enhancements, changes and bug fixes**
category	Issue
Bug	Manage grid dialog : multiple grid creation isn't possible (+ other related bug)
Bug	Manage grids bug : Modifying the name of a newly created grid isn't possible if focus is moved to another grid and back again.
Bug	Manage grids dialog. No warning if not saved
Bug	Manage grids dialog: text fields are truncated

Squashing bugs by category sounds like a great strategy.

Thanks for the update. I missed your post this morning because probably because I browsed the forum by sections -- suggestions and bug report. I do that, sometimes...

Currently:

FrmViews, prompt if unsaved
frmViews: add read-only list of fields added to TLI
frmProperties: more consistent use of keys (CTRL-left-right to expand/collapse), tab to change focus column
F11: panels: dock/undock: elsewhere, hide panels
Field prop, improve load time
On dual monitors, some forms do not position correctly

And now, preparing for the official release of 0.9.25. And then, moving to 0.9.26Pre-Rel

Appreciate the news, Pierre. Will release of 9.25 contain the updated / upgraded calendar w all the bells & whistles? Thanks.

Hi Pierre ! Thanks for the update.

Wondering : are gantt chart components (overview, histogram, the gantt itself) positions now saved between refreshes ? I think you fixed that for the next release... But just making sure as it's really inconvenient to reposition everything after each refresh.

I just tried it and it is working here. Check it on your side when you get a minute.

I hope you're having great vacations !
