Selecting Items

Selecting a single item is simple and the same for all UIs: Click on the item
 
Selecting multiple items is allowed in most UIs with specific methods that depend on the UI. IQ can show multiple items in the following UIs:
  1. Grid (Outliner with columns)
  2. IQ Surface
  3. IQ Calendar
  4. Card View
  5. Map View
  6. TimeLine View
     

1. Grid (Outliner with columns)

Grids support selecting one or more items. To select items, use any of the following methods:

Using Mouse / Touchpad

  • Click on an item. Unselects any previously selected items
  • Click to select the first item. Shift+Click on the last item: Selects contiguous items
  • Ctrl+Click to select an item keeping previously selected items (i.e.toggles the item select state)
  • Click and Drag from the first item to the last item

"Shown in n grids" for subitems

Submitted by jimspoon on 2020/08/10 13:23
Say you do a live search that brings up a subitem, and you display it in the search grid.
 
If you look at the "Shown in n grids" section of the Properties pane, it does not necessarily show the grids where the item can be displayed as a subitem.
 
If I have Context Parents on, I can click on the Context Parent where the grid I want to display IS shown in the "Shown in n grids", but that won't take me to the subitem I was on in that grid; I have to find that subitem in that grid.
 
So, is there a way to go directly to that subitem in a grid in which it appears?  If not, could that feature be added?

Slow typing in the Document Pane

Has anyone else ever noticed a perceptible slowness of typing in the Document Pane? I know how subjective these things can be, but it's definitely there, sometimes. Seems to come and go. I notice it just now as I turn from typing in this message box to typing in the Document Pane. A moment's lag between typing and the character appearing.

I'm changing the thread heading to a suggestion: 
"1-click for sorting only the selected items"

 Hi,
 
I'd appreciate your help.
As shown in the screencast (https://bit.ly/3iunMkz), I'm trying - unsuccessfully - to sort only the selected items.
How to sort just the selected items?
 
Thank you,

Item with multiple parents in same grid - how to remove the item from certain parents, leaving it as child of a unique parent?

Submitted by carloscadu on 2020/08/07 06:44
 Hi,
 
I'd appreciate your help.
In the same grid I created an item child of multiple parents, following this thread: "Multiple parents - ways to assign" (https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/?q=node/4063).
I couldn't find out how to reverse the process.
I mean, how to remove the item from certain parents without creating duplicates, leaving it as child of a unique parent again? 
 
Thank you,
Carlos

Item created through drag&drop folder pointing to the "actual folder" doesn't launch the "windows file explorer" when clicked

Submitted by carloscadu on 2020/08/05 18:28
 Hi,
 
I'm using IQ 0.9.116pre3.
As shown in the screencast (https://bit.ly/2DnuTw4), an item created through drag&drop folder pointing to the "actual folder" doesn't launch the "windows file explorer" when clicked.
Even if I force the menu (shift+click) and click on "follow link", it doesn't work.
However, if I choose "shortcut to the folder", when I click the item link the "windows file explorer" is launched properly.
Shouldn't the "windows file explorer" be launched as well when the item is created pointing to the "actual folder"?
 
Thank you,
Carlos
