Users do dumb things..some times they are idiots (aka fools). I renamed the System item "ThisWeek" to "Test". I don't remember why. But later I started getting errors saying that a calculation could not be done due to a missing "ThisWeek" item. Since I'd made this change many days ago, I'd forgotten all about it. Consequently, It took me a long to find out that the item "Test" needed to be changed back to "ThisWeek." So, It seems to me that idiot/fool proofing needs to be implemented here. That is users should be able to change a system item's Caption but not its Name...IMHO.

Does / will IQ have file synchronization?  Ecco's system of file "replicas" and a "master file" that contains all changes and keeps all the replicas synced has worked well for me.  Or does / will IQ have a very different way of working with one's databases from various computers?

I've had this problem for a long time, and I can deal with it, but maybe I can solve it?

My back up files are in the same folder that my SNDB file so I didn't specify folder. It's not in "users" folder, but as I understand that shouldn't be a problem. What's wrong?

One thing, the path described in "This file: G/Jay..." is wrong from I don't remember even how long ago. But I thought it should be assigned automatically.

 

Thanks

Hi all IQUsers,

 

I'm leaving for a cycling trip in southern France tomorrow. 2 weeks exploring this beautiful area.

 

Needless to say, I'm not bringing my computer with me, so don't expect much in term of version update 

 

I'll be back to work on June 7th !

 

Cheers !

This is a long shot I guess:

 

Request for the ability to merge items.

How this would be done I'm not sure. I mean I'm not sure what you'ld do in case of one field having different content in each - favour one would suit me fine.

 

 

Is Customise shortcuts broken ? Seems to be missing at any rate...

 

under

-

the Keyboard tab (or whatever the shortcuts tab was called) is missing

 

Same story when I right-click a toolbar button, or the menu

 

 

There was work done on this in version O (Version 0.9.25O is now available !) I actually forgot to check that at the time (or since)

 

 

Prompted by Dave's frustration with copy in IQ (www.sqlnotes.net/drupal5/index.php) I thought to try and simplify the copy dialog would be helpful.

 

So, here goes (again): my suggestions, (keep in mind that I'm not 100% sure of some of them myself)

 

 

1) simplify all the text as much as possible

2) change the order in the copy dialog - move the options for copy within IQ to top of the list.

3) combine the paste dialogues (Top level and sub-item) - I think people would expect the item to be pasted as a sibling to the currently selected item [or simply pasted at top-level if nothing is selected], so I don't see any need for two dialogues.

4) each dialogue box would simply have "Copy" or Paste" in the

currently user could end up opening a file that is NOT the most current

I'm just not able to do that. Is it possible to achieve directly ?

The obvious work around is to hoist items and then select the needed columns. But it does feel a bit like a workaround.

(I think we talked about that a while ago, but can't find the discussion)
