For those of us who like to use IQ Grids for writing rather than using the Document Pane, the question of file name length limits will be a key question when it comes to syncing with Obsidian. Based on some initial searching, it sounds like Windows file paths are typically limited to 260 characters, but that limit can be lifted. And it sounds like Android limits are typically similar, although on some phones it could be half that. So I guess I could just have a Grid that collects any items that are too long... Any thoughts?

Many thanks, Pierre, for the new Obsidian Sync! Totally awesome.

In a stroke of good timing, a brand-new Obsidian plugin has just been released a few days ago that makes it possible to navigate the IQ item hierarchy from within Obsidian, even on mobile:

All I had to do was to configure the plugin to use "Parents" as the parent field, and now the plugin displays full IQ hierarchy trees for all items.

I made a test item, opened a doc pane.  In the doc pane, did Menu > File > Open > Open Web Page.  Pasted a URL, in this case, just as an example, "https://www.voidtools.com/".  The page loaded in the doc pane.  (Having trouble getting some other pages to load, but this one did.)  The URL appears in the field ItemHTMLFile.

When I select View > Document > New Document Pane, I get the dialog that asks me if I want to attach the Doc Pane to the Current Tab or the Main UI.  I'm having trouble understanding this concept, or how it is helpful.  I could understand wanting to be able to have two doc panes open, each viewing the doc content for two different items.  So in that case you'd want to lock a doc pane to a particular item, not to a particular workspace tab, or so it seems to me.  

I see that syncing with Google Keep is already on the roadmap.  I've played around with it a bit but really haven't used it much.  But I thought this brief article had some interesting ideas about how to use Keep.  Particularly the use of "collaborative notes" - sounds good for a "honey do" list.

On my desktop, if a grid cell is in edit mode, and the cursor is on the top/bottom line of the grid cell text, up/down will exit edit mode and the prev/next item will be highlighted (not put in edit mode though).

On my laptop, up/down on the top/bottom line of the cell being edited has no effect.  The current grid cell remains in Edit mode and the cursor remains at the same location.

Both desktop and laptop are set to edit in non-WYSIWYG mode.

I thought this might be controlled by an option in Tools > Options, but I didn't find such an option.

Has anyone created a 'default' color / colour palette for dark mode?

I see each file now has an extra set of named colours for dark mode. But they are currently the same as for regular mode. I'm presuming text remains a light colour no matter what the highlight colour is, so I'm wondering if anyone has done the work to figure out a functional selection of colours that are dark enough to display the item text properly? And willing to share your choices here?

Many thanks to anyone willing to share.

For quite a long time I have been locked into Firefox  as my default browser.

The reason being I was stuck with it was that it had one very useful add-on called Bookmarkshome. This addon didn't do anything too remarkable except to take your bookmarks (and I have a lot) and create a home page with bookmark links neatly arranged. 

Hi IQ Users!

IQ has had Evernote sync for 3 years now. Rich text only at first, then Tags sync was added. Image sync is still in development. 

Two weeks ago, EN announced that their Free plan was being phased out (limited to just 50 notes!). This could significantly impact IQ users.

What alternatives, if any, would you consider? Obsidian naturally comes to mind... anything else? Logseq perhaps? anything better?

Please comment!

I have an IQ Base with multiple grids. I have grid A1 with columns A, B, C. I have a second grid B1. Is it possible to have columns A & C from grid A1 auto populate 2 columns in B1. Thanks
