I am late to the AI Chatbot party but it could be a lot worse since ChatGPT only came out in 2022.  I've been using AI Chatbots a lot lately.  I started out with Copilot but lately I have been using Gemini more and mor.  Copilot seems to be focus on being very concise whereas Gemini gives a bit more detail in its first answer.  I've also tried ChatGPT, and there are quite a few others (Claude, Perplexity etc) that I have not even tried yet.

Often content I want to paste into a Grid from an outside source already has an outline structure of some kind, but it's not tab-indented.  And so when I paste it into an IQ grid, the hierarchy that was present in the outside source is not replicated as a parents/children outline in the Grid.   The content as pasted as items all at the same level.  So if I want to reproduce the hierarchy in a Grid outline, I have to go through all the items and indent each one to the appropriate level.

I'm really liking the Properties Pane filter and the selectable headings for better keyboard navigation.  But I'm seeing a bug in 127.0Pre12 which is easily seen in the following Properties Pane screenshot.  The set of fields and values for the current item is shown multiple times under Properties Pane > Item Properties > Values, instead of just once:

Customize Toolbars > Commands

1) Categories list should be in alphabetical order.  Right now, you have to scroll up and down the list to find a category in what appears to be a randomly-ordered list.

2) "All Commands" should be at the top of the list (it will be if sorted alphabetically).  I don't see the logic in having it 2nd to last. 

3) One category is named "[Empty"].  Is this a typo that needs correcting?

Seems like I brought this up a long time ago.  Maybe it's something out of Pierre's control.

Hi Pierre,

- minor: when the new Properties Pane filter box has the focus (which is the statup default, I think), the pane cannot be scrolled with the wheel, which is kind of annoying. Maybe not set focus on the box on startup or make pane scrollable anyway.

If I run a search under "Live-Search", and if I select one or more of the search results, then I:

a) can click the "Show Items in the Search Grid" button, such that those items appear in a Search grid.

b) can click the "Show in a New Scratch Grid" button (which I had added to a custom toolbar), but nothing happens. Can this latter scenario be enabled/supported?

Thanks.

Scenario:

I want to paste, say, 50 items as sub-items to a pre-existing item. I select an existing sub-item of the item and paste (pasting by selecting 1- Plain Text and then 2- Paste all lines into selected item(s). 49 new items will be created).

Result:

If I do the above in a regular Grid, fast.

If I do the above in a Scratch grid, where just one Scratch grid is open under IQ, fast.

UPDATE: Apparent erroneous sorting of subitems is fixed by a grid refresh, see below for details

A few things I'd like to see in the properties pane, to make it fully keyboard-navigable just like other parts of the IQ GUI are keyboard-navigable.

The Properties Pane contains an "outline" of sorts.

The top level headings are Item Properties, Marked Items, Grids, Forms, All Fields.  These are shown with a Darker Blue background.

When I imported data from ECCO, IQ also brought in all the ECCO fields, many of which are either redundant or no longer useful. To streamline the data in IQ, I’ve been attempting to remove some of the zero-entry fields. However, I’ve noticed that certain fields cannot be deleted, as the delete option is greyed out.

Could you please advise if there’s a way to remove these unnecessary fields?
