How to set "startwith" conditional formatting properly for [ItemTags] startwith "a"?

Hi, I'd appreciate your help.

I set the following conditional formatting expecting the main items font to become RED (ForeColor=&H0000FF) according to the ItemTags:

 

[ItemTags] startwith "a"

 

So given the tags listed in the screenshot below, I'd expect that any item with assigned tags aASK, aFOLLOW, or aTHINK would become RED.

However, it isn't working.

 

What could be going wrong?

 

Thank you,

Carlos

 

Setting to prevent images corruption on DocPane when "deleting merged items", and other situation

Hi. Often I end up with images corrupted on DocPane because of two situations, as detailed in this screen-recording below.

 

a) Situation 1

Two images were pasted into the DocPane of two different items.

With the two items selected, I triggered 'Item > Join Items > Delete merged items > OK".

The images are gone with the deleted items, and just an X corrupted placeholder.

This is a more controlled situation, since I can pay attention to the content of the DocPane, and does not perform "join" when I see there are images.

 

Documentation page titles

Hi. This suggestion is a minor one, about having the IQ documentation with different webpage titles if and when possible.

As shown in the screen-recording (https://bit.ly/3JDb0hx), I'm navigating IQ documentation and getting a bit lost because all opened webpages have the same titles, although the URLs are different.

Consequently, it also affects clipping/capturing of the webpages, since they are got with the same title and need further renaming for proper organization.

Thank you,

Carlos

Quick 'Refile' mode

I often have multiple items freshly moved / pasted to a grid and need to put them under different top level items quickly (via drag and drop with the mouse).

With the recent effeciency increase for drag and drop (easy to drop under parent even when the subtree is folded, plus items are dropped at the top of the subtree rather than at the bottom), this has already become much more convenient.

Global setting to either set default image "width" or auto-fit it in Doc Pane

Hi.

The suggestion is about having a global image "width" setting, that could work like (a) or (b).

InfoQube setting image width

Primarily, the idea is to avoid web clipping images that have larger widths than the usual set for the Document Pane.

Also it may work when pasting larger images from the clipboard.

Executing related equations in order?

I have a Yes/No field "ToDo" and a date field "Date".
When I check the ToDo box I want to set the Date to Today and then uncheck the ToDo box.

I tried these equations:
1. For ToDo:  A: Date=Now
2. For Date:  A: ToDo=

However, only the first equation is executed; checking ToDo sets the Date, but the ToDo box is subsequently not unchecked.

I think that I read in the Doc that it is not possible the way I tried it..?? Is there a workaround?

Re-sizing images in Doc Pane

Minor suggestion for improving image re-sizing in the Doc pane:

Make it possible to re-size the image in one simple step. 

For example, provide an image size percentage box where you can change 100% to 50% to make the image half-size with the same aspect ratio.

We had this before but now the dims are split into two boxes and you have to calculate the new dimensions to keep the same aspect ratio (as far as I know).
