When you sort a text field in ascending order, is there any way to get blank entries to sort to the bottom instead of the top?

Upgrade list says: "New: Items: Multiple improvements to file indexing, including support for URLs to PDF files"

I upgraded and don't see anything different.  I can't find anything in the user manual.  Is there some reference that explains what these are?

I was really hoping it was going to be the ability to link to specific pages inside a PDF.  That would be a game-changer for me (I know it's a long shot).

Thanks, Wayne

Just found out the hard way that my back up hasn't been working for weeks.  I've attached a screenshot of my back up database settings.  I can't figure out why it isn't working.

As the thread title says

How do I do a word count? And is there a daily word count for words written today?

I have a very long list of a few hundred items that I'd like to arrange in outline form.  I'd like to select items as I go through the list, and then move them to a parent item.  The items I'd like to select are non-contiguous.  The Marked Items would be good for this, except that when I use the Add As Sub-Items menu option, the destination item becomes an additional parent to the marked items.  If the marked items already were child items of another item, they remain so; that parent item remains a parent item.  But in this case I'd like to "move" the marked items, so that they become child

1) Select item>ctrl-B.  This bolds all the text in the item field plus any other fields designated in Manage Grids.

2) Is there any way to then select part of the item text and "un-bold" it while keeping everything else bolded?

The only way I know to do this is to turn off bold for item text, then select and bold the text in each column, which is time-consuming.

I'm not asking for a new feature.  I just wondered if there's a way to do it with existing commands.

It is not as simple as copying MYAUXILIARYBRAIN.SNDB from the ..\InfoQubeV122qPortable\AppFiles\MYAUXILIARYBRAIN.SNDB.SNDB.Files to ..\InfoQubeV124.6Portable\AppFiles\MYAUXILIARYBRAIN.SNDB.SNDB.Files.  When I double-click my SNDB file in the new V124.6 folder, the V122q version of IQ runs.

Perhaps related is the attached screenshot of the options for the V122q file containing a .Files path for the V124.6 copy of my SNDB file.

I open the "Find and Filter.." Dialogue and add a search word.
Scope = Entire File
Find/Filter Action = Show in Search Grid.
Match Field = item text
Match Type is grayed out
Add Filter= (none)

Clicking on "Find/Filter" results in a pop up error message dialogue in the center of the screen that I need to click OK:
"Error opening grid. check Grid source criteria"

If I close and reopen  "Find and Filter.." Dialogue and search again, I may instead get a transient status error message (in the lower right of screen):

I must be overlooking something very simple, but I can't manage to change the "source" of a grid in the Manage Grids dialogue. I can change the name of the grid and other properties of the grid, but when I change the source of the grid, the change is cancelled as soon as I leave the "Manage Grids" dialogue.   I tried on different grids, in different databases including a fresh new one, and even in a somewhat earlier version of IQ.

I can create a new grid via  the "New Grid" dialogue, but when doing this, one can only use the name of a field, not a more complex source.

On my laptop, I added an item to my sndb database.  IQ wrote it to my OneDrive IQ sync folder.  (I use OneDrive rather than Dropbox because the free Dropbox plan limits you to a small number of connected devices, plus I do the $99 deal for MS Office + 1TB onedrive storage.)  On my desktop, OneDrive downloaded the laptop file from the sync folder.  But IQ on my desktop would not copy and reload the file from the sync folder.  Desktop IQ doesn't seem to recognize that there's been a data change, even though File > Properties shows that the laptop file has one more item than the desktop fil
