My desktop IQ (v115) is not updating my database from the more recent file in my sync folder.  The correct folder (C:\Users\jimsp\OneDrive\infoqube\sync) is specified in Tools > Options > Data Storage > Sync Folder.  The file with the most recent changes is in the folder, the IQ is just not updating from it.  Is there a way to force an update from the sync file?  From reading the manual, Ctrl+S seems to force an update to the sync file, not from it?  I wouldn't want to do Ctrl+S on my desktop and overwrite the sync file that contains the latest changes.

 

In case it helps, the two changes I made were to add to items to my Notes1 grid by checking the Notes1 checkmark field.  When I look at the two items on my Desktop, the Notes1 field is not shown in the Values section of the Properties pane, but "Notes1" is shown as the value for Home in the Basic section.  The Last Edit date (File > Properties

 I would like the Manage Grids dialog to show the quantity, similar to the Field Editor "# items" and the Item Editor "Nb" column.

My use case is using the Manage Grids dialog as an ad-hoc grid navigator: I sort by name, shift select and pick all the grids starting with A, right click>view grid, then navigate the open grid tabs.

It would be nice to know if I have a large number of items in a certain grid before doing this.

 

My computer crashed overnight and I lost a sizable chunk of work I did in InfoQube just before bedtime.  Tried to recover it from backups but they are missing.  Don't understand why.

 

I had three InfoQube files open when I went to bed.  All have identical backup settings (every 10 minutes, delete after 1 day).

 

Two of the files continued to back up every ten minutes all night until about 6:00 am (that must have been when the computer crashed).  The third file stopped backing up before I went to bed and did not resume until I rebooted the computer this morning.

 

Naturally, the one file that did not back up is the one that had active work that needed saving.

 

Any ideas on why back ups for this one file failed?  I used the file right up to bedtime and it was fine.  Only thing I can think of is that this one particular file crashed after I put the compu

Minor suggestion:

 

Add an option to set the default for "Multiline column headers".  I haven't been able to find a control for this. 

 

Every time I create a grid, it has this option checked, which I don't want.  Would be nice to be able to permanently turn it off and not have to change the setting every time a grid is created.

 

Of course, if there is a setting for this already, let me know.

It's not that I'm not very happy with InfoQube and how it's progressing. I just got very intrigued with the Android Orgzly app, a 'blood relative' of Org-Mode. I also sometimes think that InfoQube is sort of overkill for 90% of the stuff I do with it, which might be done in a more snappy fashion with Org-Mode...

 

Are there any Org-Mode-to-IQ-converts here?

 

Thanks!

 HI,

 I think I may have asked this before a long time ago but I couldn't find it when searching.

 

Is there an easy way to get information into IQ from other information managers along with images, not separate but images in the document?  The only things I need are for IQ to import the file name as the "Item" name and import the rich text and images into the "Doc" "HTML" pane.  I don't need anything else.  

 

I've had some luck that from one of the IM's I can export an HTML file with embedded images.  The only thing wrong with that is it's in one giant file, not individual so it only imports into IQ as one big item.

 

I'm sure I'm missing something.  It'd be great to be able to import and export that way.

 

Thanks,

Larry

Hi there,

 

There's a common browser/application convention of using the middle mouse button, i.e. by pressing the wheel, to close a tab.

As simple as it seems, it's a real game changer that's worth considering. 

 

 

Thanks,

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm new to the program, so please bear with me.

I'm taking the advice of others in this forum and have created a string representation of the ItemID, this is working fine for me.

Now I'm trying to take it a step further and create an abbreviated markdown style link, e.g. [MyItemName](IQ:123), for use in other applications.

The IdItem is showing up fine, as well as the brackets, but the actual [Item] is blank, e.g. [](IQ:123).

What am I missing?

 

="["+ [Item] +"](IQ:"+ CStr([IDItem]) +")"

 

Thanks,

Kevin

 

Being able to set a smaller font size and maybe a narrow font type would make the results more readable for me. The View/Zoom menu command also doesn't seem to anything in the Live search grid. Thanks!

Does anyone else lose work when exiting edit mode?  I happens to me pretty regularly.

 

1) Enter edit mode

2) Add text

3) Hit return to exit edit mode

4) All the text just added disappears

 

Just had the worst case yet where I lost not only the current edit, but previous edits amounting to 10-15 minutes of work which I now have to try to recreate from memory.  It's as if it reverted to a previous state from several edits ago.

 

In this last case, I was working in a text field adding a bulleted list.

 

Like most of my glitch problems, it cannot be recreated on demand, and I cannot figure out what causes it to happen when it happens.
