[rather urgent...] conditional calculations don't work

Submitted by Armando on 2011/01/31 17:00
In a sample DB, let's pick the "InvoiceTotal" field which column equation is "MySum (billable). So: 1- Open the Invoice grid. 2- Put the focus on the John Doe item, "Total" Cell/field. 3- click recalculate (shift F9) 4- Total changes to 0. If you change the rate or whatever, the Invoicetotal Row equation updates the result, but the column equation doesn't. ========== I don't know how and why I didn't notice earlier. I guess I haven't worked a lot with my "finance" and projects grids lately. When today I needed to update everything project and financial... Nothing worked as expected and still doesn't. Hopefully this can fixed soon... My financial, project, and task grids depend on it.

Clearing Item Text field in clipper

Submitted by Al on 2011/01/28 12:36
In the Clipper, Win+N, is there a short cut key that clears the Item Text field. I want to add multiple notes with the Clipper. Basically I want to select the existing text in the Item Text field and delete it, so I can enter new text, all from the keyboard. Better yet would be, adds Item Text to grid, then clears the Item Text field for another entry.

infoqube awesomeness

Submitted by ThomR on 2011/01/28 10:43
Every now and then I come across some new aspect of infoqube just waiting there for my benefit, and I realize how amazing this program is. It's really the answer to my dreams (those dreams usually involving my dissertation somehow), and I hope I can use it for the rest of my life (though hopefully said dissertation will be finished long before me).

<SOLVED> Can't save HTML content

Submitted by jsolka on 2011/01/24 11:01
Don't know what happened -- tried to save HTML content several times, and can't. Tried repair, installed another version, nothing helped.
Thanks
 
Update: I think the problem is with USB stick. When I copied the file to desktop it worked. Anyway, I think my USB stick needs to be replaced. Curious what could have happened. I reformatted it because it didn't work with Apple then reformatted back, and now there are those probelms.

Auto size width (in Manage Grids | Column) [disappearance of columns] (M)

Submitted by Jon on 2011/01/20 10:11
I have a number of columns that I have carefully set up (maybe a dozen, but this will work with fewer). All of the columns happen to be check boxes. If I tick Auto size width, most of the columns move off the window, never to be seen again. Clearing the tick box and attempting to re-size does no good. If I check the Shown tick boxes for the columns that are no longer displayed, I see that they are no longer ticked (but I am ). Even so, there is something odd about this function since activating Auto size makes a column that is no larger than 8 characters SUPERSIZE.
 
I'm using IQ version I.

Compacting doesn't work when 2 IQ processes (or more) are running (M)

Submitted by Armando on 2011/01/19 16:34
A few days ago I noticed that my DB went from 280 MB to 440 MB in a bit more than a month. I proceeded to compact the thing but only gained a modest 10MB. I didn't have the time to explorer the mystery further and thought that maybe it was because of the recent research and web clipping (still : 160MB is a LOT of text...) Today, I saw that my DB reached 450MB! Something was definitely wrong... So I tried to compact it again and... Nothing happened. I realised that I had 2 IQ instances running, so I closed one. When I re-compacted, it went down to 275MB. This might be a bug or not. If it's not a bug (e.g. : some data corruption protection) it should probably be documented. P.S.: wonder id there would be other aspects of IQ that are not working as expected when 2 instances are running... ??? If yes, it should be documented.

HTML Editor Losing Some Notes <SOLVED>

Submitted by theinfoseeker on 2011/01/19 04:10
I've already posted this bug in Mantis but I now realize I should have posted it here first to confirm before posting it there.
 
I've been using the HTML Editor to add detailed notes on a number of my items in the Project pane. Frequently when I reboot my computer and re-open up InfoQube I find I've lost some or all of the detailed notes I entered in the HTML Editor.
Additional Information     If it's relevant I often use outlined numbered notes down to three or four levels in the HTML Editor.
 
I'm running InfoQube on a Windows 7 Intel Laptop.
