I really thought I understood how to preserve my toolbar set up but I've lost it again.  I'm sure it happened because yesterday I using opening old versions of InfoQube trying to get copy-special to work.

I'd appreciate advice on what I did wrong.

1) I had four files open. 

2) Files #1 and #2 had the correct toolbars.

3) Files #3 and #4 had the wrong toolbars.

4) I closed files 2, 3, and 4.

Can I do the following without causing problems with my databases?  I think I can but I want to confirm.

1) Close current InfoQube files and leave my current full installation in place (v120Pre2).

2) Launch a previous portable version of InfoQube.

3) Open current databases and make changes using the old portable version.

4) Close the files, re-open them with the current version (which was left installed) and continue with work normally.

Hi Pierre,

I have Outlook Office 365. I used launched the Registry modifier OutlookPrototocol2016. I am able to drag and drop or copy and paste the Email file from Outlook to IQ. It appears to set up a hyperlink. However, when I click on it it does not link over to the email in Outlook.

- Is this not possible using Office 365?

Thank you.

Tab groups question

You can have either vertical or horizontal tab groups, but you can't have both.

Naturally, I'd like to have 4 groups arranged in a 2x2 grid, which isn't allowed.

Tabs can be detached to create a 2x2 grid but that isn't the same as having 4 windows, each of which can have multiple tabs.

Is there some other way to accomplish this that I'm not thinking of?

Use of "and" and "or" in conditional formatting for [ItemTags] contains ("A" and "B")

Hi, I'd appreciate your help.
I tested two different conditional formatting for the main "Item" field (ID 1).
I expected the background color becoming RED (BackColor=&H0000FF).
 
[ItemTags] contains ("1now" and "2soon")
[ItemTags] contains ("1now" or "2soon")
 
Something is wrong with the syntax, since all items are becoming RED, as shown in the screen-recording below.
 
Instead, I'd expect the following output according to each syntax:
 

Moving items long distances

Just needed to move an item from near the top to the bottom of a list with over 500 items.  Couldn't figure out an easy way to do it so I'm hoping to learn something new.

1) Dragging is great over short distances but not a long list.  You can't can't drag to the bottom of the screen and continue scrolling down.  You have to release the item, manually scroll down, re-select the item, and repeat. 

2) Keyboard alt-down arrow takes a long time.

3) There are more convoluted methods better avoided because of the extra steps (eg assigning sort numbers to a text field).

How to set "startwith" conditional formatting properly for [ItemTags] startwith "a"?

Hi, I'd appreciate your help.

I set the following conditional formatting expecting the main items font to become RED (ForeColor=&H0000FF) according to the ItemTags:

 

[ItemTags] startwith "a"

 

So given the tags listed in the screenshot below, I'd expect that any item with assigned tags aASK, aFOLLOW, or aTHINK would become RED.

However, it isn't working.

 

What could be going wrong?

 

Thank you,

Carlos
