copying and pasting multiple cells to multiple cells

Say you want to copy the content of two cells (call them A1 and B1, as in a spreadsheet) to two other cells (call them A2 and B2).

In Excel, you'd select A1 and B1, press Ctrl+C, then select A, and press Ctrl+V to paste.  A2 now has the same content as A1, and B2 now has the same content as B1.

getting large number of tab-indented TXT outline files into IQ

I've got a large number of tab-indented .txt outline files that I'd like to get into IQ.

The File > Import > Text and Image Files option gets me fairly close, except:

(1) it puts only the file name of each file into the Item field, and I'd like to include also the Size and Date Modified.

Tags missing from Tags Pane

I'm trying to re-organize my tags using the tags grid and am having lots of problems.  Changes I make in the tags grid are not being reflected in the tab pane. 

I've attached an example of this below.  When I move tags to subitem status in the Tags grid, they often disappear altogether from the Tags pane.

I re-read the manual section on tags and noted that they show all organization being down inside the Tags Pane.  I've always used the Tags grid.  That should work, right?

Button for Text forecolor = NONE.

I created my own IQ toolbar. Very handy.

Is it possible to make a button to add to the toolbar for

Text forecolor = NONE.

<Reason being>

I mark a lot of items in different colors as the job progresses.

Later I want to be able to simply select them all and then change their colors to none (back to black in effect.)

Dropbox Questions

I have read "Synchronization between computers using Dropbox" (http://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/node/3066)

1. Is the dropbox sync supposed to create multiple copies of the database (.sndb)? I only see an updated copy in the sync folder after syncing.

2. I moved the .files folder to the sync folder. /sync/MyIQBase.files as instructed (and set the path in IQ options) Is that correct? I should no longer have a copy of the .files folder in the "IQBases" folder?
