New Computer

I had to replace my computer (again). 

1) Should I switch to the portable version?  I believe Pierre recommends that but I've used the full install for several years.  When I tried the portable version I had problems with losing my toolbar set up after updates (undoubtedly, my fault).

2) I still have my old C drive installation.  Can I recover settings from that? (toolbars, options settings, custom colors)

How to setup a file system in IQ

I am an ECCO user that is new to IQ and would like to have input on how to most efficiently set up IQ. I almost exclusively use ECCO as an outliner. In ECCO I
established a file for each subject. Each file would have a small number of related Notepads. The files would be kept in related folders on my computer. I am
questioning whether to use this method with IQ or to just have one IQ file with all my grids for all subjects. I could then group the grids in the one file. I

Searching database for doc pane htm or MHT content

I wanted to verify that there are no direct ways to search my database for doc pane content, if the doc pane content is a htm or an MHT file.

It appears the available searches would search for the characters in the filename of the ItemHTMLFile only.

Am I am correct in that you have to use a file utility that searches within files (everything, agent ransack/file locator pro)?

Font settings for MHT files

Is there any way of changing font settings for MHT files? I'd like to increase the font size a little.

I know I can assign a CSS file to the item, but those changes don't stick: if I move away from the item and then back, the CSS file has to be assigned again. So I was hoping there might be a more fundamental way than CSS of setting font properties.

Item in wrong grid

I have an item showing up in a grid it shouldn't be in, and it won't go away.

1) Item is a TLI.  No parents anywhere.
2) Item is not assigned to the grid (grid field is unchecked).

3) In the Properties pane, under "shown in", the current gird IS listed, even though the item is not assigned to it.

Things I've tried:

1) Re-assign, un-assign to the grid field using properties pane, form, and field column.  Repeat and refresh many times.

2) Reboot file

How to find linked file?

How do I find the location of a file linked in InfoQube?

Can't find the information in any of the dialogues nor anything about it in the manual. 

I don't want to launch the file; I want to know where it's located in the file manager.

Seems like this info should be available in the Hyperlink dialogue.  Or add it in the info pop-up window (along with my other suggested improvements - ha).

Way to remove a level X child item from its parent(s) and turn it into a TLI in the current grid with minimal visual feedback

I found I could use 'hoist on -> Alt-Left once or a couple of times -> hoist off' but it creates a lot of visual feedback, I'd love to have a mostly invisible way of doing this. Thanks!
