I love IQ for tasks management, but still use Evernote for information management.  For two reasons - "tags" and "tag implementation", while not perfect it's a highly effective tagging system that is ridiculously easy to use, it allows grouping tags under categories and the hierarchy of tags are visible in the left navigation bar at all times (as I wish Grids were in IQ, but that's another story).  Tags are one of those things that once you get used to using, you just don't want to go back.  If I had never used them the standard method of using a strict classification system would probably be fine.

I've run into this several times recently and can't figure out what's going on.  When I do a screen capture and paste it in the HTML paine, sometimes the image won't display.  It looks like this:

 

Hi IQ Users,

On another thread, we got into a discussion of how many items a grid can display before being overstressed (see "How to rapidly create new items").  Pierre noted that 2,000 items would be pushing it.

 

Does this refer to 2,000 items actually displayed or does it include sub-items not displayed?  If it's only the actual items displayed that's important, then I'm in pretty good shape because I have relatively few of those (a few dozen so far) but each may have 100+ subitems.  If subitems aren't counted towards the total, I can more easily manage things by keeping outline items collapsed.

This is a another minor issue that's a bit of an annoyance.  I use Forms to assign fields to items.  To do this, I keep my custom list of fields open at all times.  For some reason, InfoQube closes this list on its own as I'm doing other things.  If I add a field to my list, it closes the list.  If I open another grid using Item Properties, InfoQube again closes my list.

 

There seem to be quite a number of actions that close the custom field list.  If it would be helpful I could start keeping a log.  All I know is that repeatedly when I'm working, I look over and see that the field list has been collapsed.  I don't see any reason for this to happen unless I explicitly choose to do it myself.

In the "filter this grid" dialog I see the text "(Filtering on all columns)".

 

But in this example image I see the text "(Filtering on columns 1, 3)". 

 

 

I've found out how to "Select Column" by right clicking on the column header, but when I select a column and then click Ctrl-G, it still says "Filtering On All Columns".  Also how do I select multiple columns as shown in the example above?

 

 

Pasting multiple lines and choosing the option to 'Paste each line into a separate item etc.'

=> if your lines start with the '#' symbol, they will not paste.

 

(I create a new blank line and paste in that -- the new lines are created as appropriate, but they are blank.)

 

Reproduced in Sample file with and without WYSIWYG  setting.

 

Thanks Pierre! Apologies for 'bugging' you

(my only excuse for that bad pun is that I'm still working @ 10:30 PM...)

 

 

Creating file links via drag n drop - settings are not remembered (in particular 'Create a Windows shortcut')

 

I always get the popup when dropping files onto a grid.

I havent used this for a while -

today, I ticked 'Create a Windows shortcut' and deselected 'Always show this dialog'

The next time I dragged files to IQ, new items were created without making a windows shortcut, i.e.

I frequently need to create large numbers of blank items (eg 40-50 at a time).  I usually do this by hitting return but the process frequently bogs down and is way too slow.  There's a substantial delay after the insertion of each blank item, and I end up sitting here watching the cursor slowly work its way down the screen to catch up with the many returns I just entered.

 

Is there a way to create a big block of blank items instantly?  In Excel, if you select 10 rows then click on "insert row", it'll insert a block of 10 rows.
