I notice that the text of some fields in the Values section is wrapped - for example, the Text and FilePath fields.  On the other hand, the text of other fields is not wrapped but is truncated with an ellipsis at the end - for example, FileName and FullFileName fields.  I'd be glad if the text of the FileName field was wrapped, because I often use longer file names that get truncated.  And it would enable me to move through grid items with the up and down keys, and see the names of the files I've linked to, and importantly, the filename extensions indicating the file types. 

Where appropriate, provide an option to perform the same action in multiple cases.

For example, I just dragged several hundred file links into InfoQube.  Dozens of links matched existing links in the file.  A dialogue popped up asking me if I wanted to use the existing link or create a new one.

At this point, I think there should be an option to perform the same action on all the remaining items.  Instead, I had to go thru the same dialogue for each individual file instead of doing a single bulk operation.

In many instances I enter identical data in fields/columns as I enter using tags (as least those fields that use drop down selections). I think it would be helpful to be able to enter data in tags that can appear as a column, and data entered into columns that would be automatically entered as tags.

One way this could be implemented is to enable a field/column to be created by using a tag #. When displayed, it would show the entries in that tag for each item. If the tag was a parent, then each of its child entries for a given item would be displayed.

Suggestion:

1) Make info pop-up window customizable (window that pops up when you hold down Ctrl while hovering cursor over item). 

This is such a great way to make key info handy but it's usefulness is restricted by having no control over the info shown. 

I'm not going to argue about what's shown because everyone will have their own idea about what's important (though I can't resist questioning why the pop-up shows the item contents when you are already hovering over the item and can see the contents directly.)

With the current modus operandi in grids, there is about a five second (?) delay before the angled arrow icon appears next to the mouse cursor and you can drop an item as the child of the item under the cursor. How about doing this immediately once an item is dropped with the mouse cursor over the header column rather than any of the others? That would speed things up for me... :-)

Are there any plans to improve how filtering is done? 

It was suggested that it be done via a dialogue pop up with a list of values that you can filter by.  You then simply check the values you want to display.  Everything would be direct and simple.

I find the current system difficult to figure out and I have tried many times, including spending hours setting up filter test cases to better understand how things work.  I've never been able to create exactly what I want.

This feature is something I was super interested in at one point, but the implementation is such that I never used it. Things position themselves incorrectly, there is no way to drag things around the way I'd like etc. I could record a video but I am not sure it's even required? I assumed the limitation was from the UI element it's based on.

Has this improved in the last several years and is there any way to make it more responsive without a tremendous amount of work? A nice mind mapping canvas for IQ would be pretty incredible.

When a grid filter is in effect (eg column filter), any items added to the grid should remain in view even if they don't meet the filter requirements. 

Right now, you cannot directly add a new item to a filtered view because the blank item disappears immediately (if that's not correct, let me know!)..

This would match hoisting behavior where new items are automatically added to the hoist and remain in view.

Hi IQ Users !

Have any of you been using / following Notion ?

I have, from a distance. My daughter has been using it exclusively for her course notes. Timing was great for her as (1) we're in a pandemic so she was at home and (2) Notion now has a free tier with unlimited items (blocks).

That said, I haven't used it myself, being very happy with what IQ provides...

I've noticed that in the results list when most of the resulting items have a good deal of item text, it is somewhat hard to distinguish where one item ends and the next begins. It would be great if there was an option for horizontal lines / frames or a few pixels' distance between items in that list / grid. I know I can set different colours for alternating lines, but that is a global setting if I'm not mistaken and I do not want to have a very strong contrast between lines in all my grids.

Attaching screenshot to illustrate problem...

Thanks!
