What I want is to be able to store the attachments within the IQ base (sub)directory, the way email attachments are currently stored, rather than linking to attachments found in some other part of my computer. This approach that I want - storing the attachments rather than linking to them - is thus like the approach followed by EssentialPim and Leadertask, rather than, say, Doogiepim. (I have licenses for them all, but IQ beats them by a mile...)

 

The reason: by attaching files rather than linking to them, way I always know where the attachments are and have no trouble finding them. By contrast, at least the way I work, when downloading files from the internet (e.g., PDFs from journals), I usually relocate the files to another directory after initially downloading them, so any link to the file becomes invalid once I move it somewhere else. (E.g., if I initially download a file from the web to Desktop or Downloads, I usually move it later to another, more suitable location on my computer, treating the Desktop/Downloads as only a temporary storage location.)

 

Thanks!
