Half-screen vs Full-screen

Submitted by WayneK on 2020/04/29 10:35
I'd like to be able to switch back and forth between half-screen and full-screen views of InfoQube without having to re-size the InfoQube panes each time.
I work in two modes:
 
1) InfoQube displayed in one-half of the screen, and another program in the other half.
 
2) InfoQube displayed full screen, with one grid pane on the left and one on the right.
 
Ideally for me, it would work like this:
 
Full-screen Infoqube > switch to one-half screen view = InfoQube shows the left half of the full-screen view.  This allows you to keep working on the left pane without re-sizing.  Right now, it squishes both panes into one view, making both unusable until you drag the divider to the right.  Then when you switch back to full-screen, you have to drag the divider back to the left to see both pane

Import text files without File reference fields being filled.

 Hello,
 
Something I just noticed and bothers me.  When I import text files, it fills out the FileRef, FileFullName,FileName,FilePath fields.   
 
It looks the same as if I link to an external file, without the hyperlink of course so it causes a little confusion to me especially when I have thousands of them.
 
I thought just the regular fields would be populated, i.e.

Format painter

Renewed request for a format painter:
 
1) Item #1 has bold, blue, italicized text, yellow fill
2) Item #2 has plain text
3) Activate format painter
4) Click on #1, click on #2
5) Item #2 now has bold, blue, italicized text, yellow fill
 
I use formatting extensively for tracking status of items (importance, work completed etc).  Would be a big time saver of tedious work not having to constantly go back to the toolbar to select individual format options.

General problems

I'm at my wit's end about what seems to be an unending stream of issues.  I am constantly  having to interrupt work to try to figure out why some kind of misbehavior is happening.
 
Yesterday I had a long sequence of text made up of big blocks of text.  I did dozens of splits to create a series of items of only a few lines each. 
 
When I returned to work later, all of my splits had been partially re-done.  All the split items were there but all the items they were split from still contained the full text, too.  So I had to go in and delete the extraneous text in each item. 
 
There have been many times that  I split items where a new item is created but the text also remains in the original item.  This, too, has comes and goes.
 
Just now I tried to create a grid with a column set to match another grid.  I loaded the column set for

Scripters needed for comment ...

Hey All, 

I'm still a newbie to IQ so this is one of my first posts.  Hope you are staying safe and healthy!

I am requesting IQ users who how to make IQ sing via scripting - especially if you know something about Ecco+EE - if you would please jump over to the Ecco forum and talk about IQ's scripting abilities. 

I can barely script in Ecco+EE and haven't touched that part of IQ, but I see that it is there.

Here is the thread.  You will have to sign up if you haven't.  Not hard.
