HTML pane - using text formating breaks menu

HTML pane
 
  • right click within pane >>
  • context menu >>
  • Click "Font" (not one of it's sub-items) >>
  • Click Cancel, or change text formatting & click OK
 
Now, try to open the menu - doesn't work here anyway.
If I close HTML pane & reopen it menu works as normal
 
This seems to happen every time - it also happens when accessing the Font formatting box via the menu

Sources of research

Submitted by mknjlaw on 2010/02/25 15:46
I am writing an psych-law article and I want to enter the psychological principles in one grid and the sources for those principles in another grid (authors, name of publication, pages, publisher, date, etc). I don't know how to link the source record to the psychological principle record. In other words I don't know how to link from one grid to another.

Row equations won't run if the item is added through the "Add item" dialog (IMPORTANT)

Submitted by Armando on 2010/02/25 01:55
Hi Pierre,
 
When items are added through the "add item" dialog, some row equations work (if you tick a due date, the urgency field will be updated), but  others don't. (And of course, row equations work when data changes are performed inside the grid.)

I wrote a small script to filter WikiTags and copy certain strings to another field : TypeDocBib.
The idea is to enter all my data in the WikiTag field and let IQ take care of all the dispatch details...

Performance problems with auto assign rules, inheritance, item deletion.

There seem to be performance problems with (some?) auto-assign equations.
 
Here's a function I'll use in my example:
 
Function CheckYNField (StringVar,field)   
  if instr(field,StringVar)>0 then
    CheckYNField = -1
  else
    CheckYNField = 0
  end if

What are the differences in performance between different types of filtering ? (+ a few comments on important missing features)

Hi Pierre,
 
I'll clarify my question by explaining what I want (or what I'm hesitating...) to do.
 
As I'm bringing more precision to my organizational system in IQ (actually trying to bring to IQ more of what I developed a my "file naming scheme" in the past few years), some questions arise.
 
A- As we know, there are some advantages in separating all info/data into many different fields (e.g. : usually easier to filter and find items, make changes in many items at once, etc.), but this can also become messy and hard to manage (e.g. : a- too many columns in a grid to display only little info, b- user has too many fields to fill in the properties pane and  the input flow gets fragmented, etc. )
 
B- There are some advantages in integrating all data in less fields (e.g.

Question (or feature suggestion?) about "input masks"...

Submitted by Armando on 2010/02/22 20:40
In a field where I enter info about author names, I need an input mask which in RegEx could  be translated as :
 
[.](([a-zA-Z])*([,])([a-zA-Z])*)*[.]
 
Or
 
([.])(([a-zA-Z])*([,])([a-zA-Z])*)*([.])
 
(that's a pretty common syntax I believe -- used in Java, Perl...)
 
Basically, it'd allow me to enter a succession of
 
.Name,First name,Name,First Name.
 
With periods around the string.
 
It wouldn't allow any numbers or other characters.
 
for fun, It tried the [.](([a-zA-Z])*([,])([a-zA-Z])*)*[.] in the  input mask text box, but it doesn't work.
It could be that it can't do that, or it could be there are elements of the syntax (VB regex ?) I just don't know.
 
I'd appreciate any help or feedback on that one.

copy items and paste them as TLIs in another grid : often doesn't work

Submitted by Armando on 2010/02/22 15:36
It often happens that I copy some items in a grid (XML way, selected items) and then try paste them "in another grid" (so that they'd become TLIs in that grid).... And usually, it doesn't work at all -- something happens in the background but nothing is pasted (and a quick look at the all items in the DB shows that effectively, nothing was everpasted there).
 
That's a bug (could it be IQ detecting that these items won't meet the source -- because it's  complex -- hence not pasting them ?? )
 
Thanks.
 
P.-S. : There's a workaround : to paste items as sub items of an other item of the 2nd grid, and then move the pasted items to the top level. It's no big deal, but coud be a deal breaker for new users...)
 
 

Is Ecco import broken (again)?

Submitted by Jon on 2010/02/21 08:50
Two issues that I have encountered. First, if the option to import Ecco IDs is not selected, IQ will crash. Second, I am importing selected items from an Ecco notebook.There are six colums along with the TLIs and SLIs. All are imported correctly, but the SLIs appear twice in IQ. They are in their proper position as a SLI and immediately below that each appears as a TLI with no children.
