Text Touch-ups

I haven't seen text touch-ups brought up in a while.  It's my #1 new feature I'd like to see because, for me, it would make daily work faster and smoother (I use text highlighting extensively).

It doesn't even have to be full text touch-ups.  I'd be happy if I could just make a tool for text backcolor.  It's easy to add other formatting because there are existing tools for them (bold etc).

Item text length and truncating of text in Grid view

Submitted by dderkits on 2023/01/17 08:19

I have items that contain a significant amount of text, and when viewing those items in a Grid the text is truncated (showing only the first ~2000 characters). If I double-click on the item, then I can see/edit all text in the item.

Would it be possible to allow adjustment of this behavior (e.g. setting truncation to another text length or disabling truncation altogether)?

Thanks for considering this request.

Format file links / URLs as active hyperlinks when pasting in the grid w/o entering edit mode

In the grid, when I select a blank item and press CTRL-v to paste a file link or URL directly into the item (without first entering edit mode), no active hyperlink results. Could this be made to work? I often have items that are file links or URLs only and would rather not have to enter edit mode first and have to type more stuff after pasting for a hyperlink to be created.

IQ behavior when double-clicking a Tag name (to view the tagged content in a Scratch tab)

Feature request:

Current behavior: If I double-click the name of a Tag in the Tags pane, then the IQ content tagged with that particular Tag opens in a Scratch tab for viewing. Unfortunately, if I have one or more Scratch tabs already open (containing other content), then this action replaces the content in one of my already-open Scratch tabs (no data are lost; I just lose the view of the previous content, and I have to recall what content I had been viewing in that Scratch tab).

IQ handling of multiple Scratch tabs when IQ is closed and reopened

Feature request:

Current behavior: If I have multiple Scratch tabs open in IQ (each containing different content), when I close and reopen IQ, the Scratch tabs reopen (the same number of Scratch tabs) but the Scratch tabs all contain the same content (which is the content of one of the Scratch tabs prior to closing IQ). The net result is that I am not able to discern what content had been open in the other Scratch tabs (prior to closing IQ).

Add created date to field dialogue

Suggestion: add "created date" and "modified date" to Field Properties display.

Sample uses:

1) To find a field you created or changed recently but can't remember the name.

2) To provide a clue to the purpose of a field (eg you can sort by date to see that it was part of a group of fields created for a specific purpose).

Reminders for deleted events

Submitted by LM77 on 2022/12/07 01:12
Forums

I often set reminders for events, and after the relevant event is no longer relevant I delete it entirely from my IQ base (not just in the Calendar or other relevant grids). Nevertheless, reminders for such events are still listed in the Reminders dialog even after I have deleted the relevant events from my IQ base.

Is there any way to make sure that the reminders for such events will no longer be displayed after the relevant events have been deleted?

Thanks!

Three-state fields?

Have three-state fields been considered for InfoQube?

I use yes/no fields to track various kinds of work and I often find that I need it to track three conditions, not just two =

1) Yes

2) No

3) Not checked yet (ie unknown if item's condition is a yes or no)

So I end having to use two columns to track one set of conditions, which seems inefficient.
