Quick help removing item from certain grids when it becomes a child item

Hey, trying to save some time figuring this out by picking your brains:

When an item changes from being a TLI to being a child item, e. g. because I dragged it from top level to underneath another top level item, I would IQ to clear certain fields (i. e. to make sure the item no longer has a value for some of my main grids). As I fiddle with these things so rarely, I tend to forget about most of the options - could this be done via auto-assign or would I need to script something?

Many thanks!

Surface Auto-Arrange enhancements

Now that each Grid can have a Surface sub-view, InfoQube has become, in my view, the premiere concept-mapping tool. I would love to see it get even better. There are a number of ways that I think Surface view could be improved, but the main issue is Auto-Arrange. When I have lots of items and multi-directional links, Auto-Arrange often overlays items on top of each other and/or criss-crosses links in a confusing jumble. I think I remember hearing that that the software behind Auto-Arrange is a 3rd party component, so it may be hard to improve, but I'm just mentioning this here.

Including items in Grid Surface sub-views

Coming back to IQ after a few months'  hiatus where I needed to be on mobile, I am delighted with the new feature of having a Surface sub-view for each grid. However, I can't find any corresponding field (like the "Surface1" field for the main Surface view). I can create items on a Grid Surface sub-view, and they also appear on the grid, but what about vice versa? If I create an item on the grid, how can I get it to also appear on the Surface sub-view?

zombie IQ not responding (after wakeup from sleep?)

This is a follow up to my "can't close welcome.sndb" post awhile back.  My problem is that I'll come back to my laptop and find that my IQ instance isn't responding.  I've discovered it's not just "welcome.sndb" that does this; it also happens with my "main.sndb" instance when it's the only instance running.  I call it a zombie, because the taskbar icon is still present, the infoqube.exe process is still appears in "Process Explorer".  The window is entirely unresponsive.  The X button will still turn red if i hover over it, but if I click it, nothing happens, not even an "infoqube is not r
