How can I keep my vertical grid tabs in order?  They move around on their own and I don't know why.  I don't see it happen; I just see that they're out of order again.  Shouldn't tabs maintain their positions unless dragged elsewhere?

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.

This is new behaviour, started a few weeks ago.  When I create a new item using ENTER and start typing, then the first letter I type ends up at the end, e.g. I want to type "Hello" and I get "elloH".  It doesn't happen all the time, but is more likely when I type quickly.  It seems as if the interface isn't fast enough to add the new item and put the cursor at the beginning of the line, so it puts the cursor at the beginning of the line after I have typed the first letter.

Everything works well. I have a column that auto inserts the date when I add an item. Just need a column to auto insert the time.

I tried setting up a new date column and changing the format to time but no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

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? 

Check out Tagging for Windows: 

Although tags can be nested, it doesn't appear that files are implicitly tagged with a sub-tag's parent tags.  It would be nice if a tag could be a column, with the subtags as the values for that column.

Couple of minor suggestions for the Add Column dialogue:

1) Allow the Description column to be edited so a column can be added and described in one operation.

Steps saved: 1) close "Add Column" dialogue; 2) open "Field Properties"; 3) find field.

2) Allow a field to be opened in the field dialogue for further editing (eg right-click>open in "Field Properties").  This could be a substitute for #1.  Has advantage of allowing full field editing, instead of just the description.

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.)

Now that we have a quick way of creating inline item links by typing [[, it occurs me that the same interface (with the pop-up search window) could be adapted to create a quick way to transclude other items, or, in other words, add another item as a child of the current item.

When I copy-special an item and paste it in a different file, I used to get two dialogue screens before the item would paste. 

Suddenly, the second screen stopped showing up and the item now pastes immediately after the first screen ("Create new items and put them in this grid").

I can't remember what the 2nd screen was, and everything is working ok, as far as I can tell.

Does anyone still get the second dialogue screen?  What am I "missing"?  Can't figure out why the dialogue procedure would change when I'm doing nothing different (I don't think!).
