Hi IQ Users !

The highlight of v1.125 was the first step in achieving Obsidian 2-way Sync
In v1.126 we took a pause to add some long standing features and fixes

We are now working on v1.127 with the goal of providing Obsidian to IQ sync.

In v1.127.0Pre18:

  1. New: Grid: Ctrl+G filter dialog improvements: Now supports date and number column filtering
  2. New: Grid: Drag-drop across grids: Item Home is updated when dragging an item from its Home grid to another grid

  4. New: Calendar: Improved interaction between the mini-calendar and the main calendar
  5. New: Calendar: Context menu for repeating events
  6. New: Calendar: Context menu to convert a repeating event instance to a new item/event, optionally marking it as done
  7. New: Calendar: Up/Down keys now select prev/next events (sort of functional, more to come)
  8. New: Calendar: Option to set the scheduled area back colors
  9. New: Calendar: Repeating events: Moving an instance to its original date/time removes the event exception
  10. New: Calendar: Improve click and drag

  55. Fixed: Find and Filter dialog: Action Select by Value did not work

I was referring to the icons stored in the AppFiles folder that indicate a parent item's folding state, like open3Dark.ico, close3Dark.ico. I replaced these two with custom ones but after unzipping the update, IQ now just uses the standard +/- icons. Maybe the choice of icon #3 was just overwritten, but for the life of me I can't find where to check on / change that setting.

Got it, it's back to what it was before, thanks! Apparently, the unique (?) luxury of an options search makes users (well me, at least) too lazy to actually scroll through the options if they can't find the keyword they're looking for.

Pasting of entire IQ items after they have been cut with the Delete-2 option no longer seems to work due to changes in handling the respective dialogs...

Perhaps it would be best to implement direct, shortcut-able commands for the 'cut from location' (rather than 'delete entirely') and 'paste IQ items' options?

Many thanks

Hi IQ Users !

v1.127.0Pre2 is now online and available to Patrons and donators. Fixes reported issues

🎁 Happy holidays to you and your loved ones ! 🎁

Pierre. 

Thank you for the hard work during the holidays. 

127.Pre2. 

Ctrl-home & Ctrl end now work perfectly. Navigation up and the grid hierarchy is now fixed. 

Much appreciated. 

Pierre - At your recommendation I have moved to using IQ Backup as my main safety system (my old system was as you know clumsy) 

What I am asking is can the IQ backup system be improved by the following 

1. Have backup setup to go to 2 separate designated locations (JIC the first location fails)

2. Have a revert to previous backup button in which I can simple fall back to my last backup or better still have something a list of backups to revert to. This would enhance testing new features much more confidently.

3. Can the Backup image be booted as as virtual machine. 

Much work to be done I know but it would take IQ to a new level of security.

Some feedback: Am finding the new popup dialog every time I edit a repeating event too invasive. 98% of the time my repeating events don't have exceptions, hence the new MO just means a more complicated workflow demanding extra attention and clicks. Perhaps it would be more elegant to add an extra button next to OK on the event dialog to handle exceptions. Or maybe have the dialog appear only after an exception in the series has been created in the first place. Right now I'm getting the dialog when OK'ing any repeating event edit, even for series of events that don't have any exceptions. Thanks.

Fair comment. 

For now though, the dialog is not shown in you modify the first (master) event. I copied the way Google Calendar does it...

How about if the dialog is shown only if some of the repeating events were in the past (and not if the series starts in the future)... What do you think?

Sorry, I'd missed the second part of your post with the question somehow. I'd be happy if the dialog did not appear when I edit aspects of a repeating event, like the underlying item's text, when there are no exceptions to the recurrence in the series.

Hi Pierre,

reverted to Pre13 as was getting error popups of this type on startup with Pre16:

field / tag error: Unable to update Source for grid Week. Check source for syntax error, deleted fields or non-existing tags. Missing operator in expression '((A[_]Week ))'.)

Are underscores no longer allowed in field names?

Also, these error popups are very transient and often disappear before I can digest them, plus I don't see how to copy their text for reports here in the forum. Is there a kind of log for these? Maybe also make text selectable in the popup and add a close button?

Many thanks!
