ItemTagCount different in Tag Pane vs Tag Grid

EDIT: I just realized that "ItemTagCount" doesn't match Nb in the Tag pane for any Tags in the Tag Grid (it is blank or shows "1"). I thought "ItemTagCount" was supposed to shows "Nb of tags for each item"? Is this a bug?
 

I have a tag "Type_B" which have several Child Tags.
"Type_B" shows "blank" for Nb in the Tag Pane.
In the Tag Grid, it shows "1" for "ItemTagCount"

Why do they differ? Could it be because I have a Grid called "Type_B" which has the source "#Type_B"?

What is the best way to find the single "Type_B" (according to the Tag Grid)?

Cause of buffering when dragging links?

This is a problem that I first noticed in Pre13 and has continued after upgrading to Pre21.

1) Drag a link from Firefox to InfoQube

2) Buffering symbol comes up and continues for 30+ seconds.  Sometimes it continues for several minutes and I have to close the program and start over.

The above happens a few dozen times a day.  Once it starts in, it'll do it repeatedly for quite a while.

I just rebooted the computer so I don't think it's a memory problem (though sometimes it may be)

Can't get color names to display correctly

How do I get ItemColor column to display the color name instead of a number? 

Some colors do display the name (eg Yellow1) but over half show a number instead (eg 15137995).

OK, checked another grid and every color I used DID display the name correctly.  So maybe this is a bug?

Pierre, I see you've been helping convox with getting Treepad data into IQ.  I have a colossal bookmark collection in Linkman and I've been trying to figure out how to get it into IQ.  Linkman is no longer developed.  Linkman has a number of export options but unfortunately no option to export to OPML or OML.  But the LMD data format seems quite simple.  The hierarchy of bookmarks is stored with tags as follows.  The lines are not indented with tabs and are terminated by CRLF.  Encoding is ANSI.

Online User Manual

How do you search in the online user manual?  If I use the search tool, it only shows threads with the word, not user manual entries.

Also was unable to get Google site search to work.

If not a keyword search, maybe an alphabetical index of topics?

Right now, if the word doesn't show up on the home page, I have to resort to flipping through manual sections trying to figure out where it is.

Forcing only one Tag?

The advantage with Tags is that an item can have several Tags (e.g. from a Tag branch).
However, I sometimes would like to force it to use only one Tag from a branch. Thus, when I select a specific Tag, any other Tags would get removed.
For example in a branch I may only select one of: Do, In-Progress, Done.

I know I can do this with a drop-down list, but I wonder if it is also possible to do with Tags? Maybe with a script?

 

Edited for clarification.

File link not working

I want to create a link to a pdf that will still work if the file is moved.  I've done this many times before but I can't get it to work now.

InfoQube created a link in the InfoQube docs file.  That link works correctly when launched directly from the Windows file manager

But when I double-click on the link in the item URL field in InfoQube, I get an error message from my PDF program saying it's an unsupported file type (or I get no response at all).

Why would the link work correctly from within the file manager but not from within InfoQube?
