Hi IQ Users,
 
Major milestones !
 
After thinking about it for a long long time, we've finally implemented in v110 a Tagging system. It is, IMHO, like no other ! 
Detailed documentation on how to use it has started: See 3. Tags
 
Also in this version:
  • Doc pane Expand / Collapse and,
  • Print-ready Style-based Outline copy !
 
The Welcome to IQ file was updated to include Paul's review of 4 note-taking software as IQ items.
It is a long document, but broken down in a hierarchy of items, navigation is now easy !
The new Copy as Outline generated a document identical to his blog post ! View it here
 
 
In this version (v110):
  1. New: Tags: New multi-parent hierarchical tagging system
  2. New: Tags pane: Flat or Tree view of tags. Supports multiple selections. Hit Enter to show items for each tag. If more than 1 tag selected, option to use AND or OR operators. Default shortcut is Ctrl + T
  3. New: Tags grid: Use this grid to manage tags. A Tag is just an item created in the Tags grid (has the Tags field checked and TagID with a unique value). The Tag name is the item text. Tag names should use CamelCase with no spaces. A tag can be put under 2 or more parent tags. (Eventually, tag management will all be made within the Tags pane, but for now, using a Tags grid provides all the required features)
  4. New: Grid: Grid source and filter can now include tags. This allows filtering using tags. Supports AND, OR, NOT operators. Precede the tag name with # (i.e. #Tag1 OR #Tag2 AND NOT #Tag3)
  5. New: Grid: If the grid source includes tags, these will be automatically ticked for all TLI items added
  6. New: Live-Search: Tag pane shown on the left of the search result. Supports multiple tags (Ctrl+Click to select more than 1 tag) with AND or OR operators
  7. New: Live-Search: Support for Tags for both output types (Item list and Live-Search)
  8. New: Tags: Tags can be used in field auto-assign rules. Format #TagName=1 to set and =0 to delete
  9. New: Tags: In grids and fields, tags can be referenced by their tag ID using this syntax: #[TagID]. The advantage is that it is not dependant on the actual tag name, which can change. To help identify tags, this format is also supported: #[TagID:TagName], where TagName is a string to remember the tag. Should be similar to the actual tag name, but no checking is done
  10. New: Tags: Strikethrough tags are not shown in the Tags pane and Live-Search. Use the Tags grid to format tags. Use this to archive older tags and keep your tags list clean
  11. New: Properties pane: New Tags section. Can add / remove tags. Click hyperlink to show items for each tag. Click on the X to remove a tag. Click on the + to add tags (switches focus to the Tags pane)
  12. New: Field Management: Convert multi-select fields to Tags. Use the multi-select dialog to convert. Option when converting spaces and other not allowed characters
  13. New: Grid: Tags can now be shown as a column in any grid
  14. New: Grid: Tags column supports copy / paste / delete
  15. New: Grid properties: Auto-assign fields can also include tags (precede tag name with #)
  16. New: Grid: Item formatting applies to tags. Use the Tags grid to format items (bold, italic, colors, etc). Embedded formatting and icons can be used but these will affect the tag name, so it is not recommended
  17. New: Grid: Options to show / hide the item tag delete icon in grids (for a cleaner look)
  18. New: Live-Search: Tags are now shown as a column
  19. New: Live-Search: When the tag list is in "Logical AND" mode, selecting a tag refreshes the tag list to only show relevant tags, as discussed here
  20. New: Tags pane: Press Insert to add a tag, Shift + Insert to add a child tag and Delete to delete tag(s), or use context menus
  21. New: Tags pane: Locked section at the top showing the current item tags. Stays visible even when scrolling the list of tags
  22. New: Tags pane: When Show Item Count is off, hover over the pane shows the item count
  23. New: Tags pane: Flat view now shows expand buttons, much like the Tags grid in flat view
  24. New: Tags pane: Column header allows sorting by tag name and count. Particularly useful in Flat view
  25. New: Tags pane: Partial check icons are now also shown in Flat view. Click the expand button to view / edit sub-tags
  26. New: Tags pane: Partial check icons now reflect the Tag Inheritance Depth setting
  27. New: Tags pane / Live Search / Grids: Tag Inheritance Depth setting
  28. New: Tags pane: New command: Show Items (Grid Subset): Limits the items to those in the current grid only, not the whole IQBase
  29. New: Tags pane: Show archived tags
  30. New: Tags pane: Context menu to show / hide the Tags column in a grid
  31. New: Tags pane: Hold Ctrl key to show tag info
  32. New: New Item / Clipper dialog: Support for tags (and fields). Simpler layout
  33. New: Tags: Support for more than one tag with the same name. If 2 or more tags have the same name, showing the tag items in a grid will use the syntax #[TagID:TagName] to resolve the correct tag
  34. New: Properties pane: Drag-drop the Tags section to a grid to show item tags as a grid column (or use the context menu)
  35. New: Properties pane: Tags section supports copy / paste
  36. New: Forms: ItemTags fields can be used to show tags in a form
  37. New: Fields: New ItemTagCount field, gives the number of tags for each item
  38. New: Grid: Copy as HTML Outline: Outlines can now be copied in a Print-ready style-based outline format, ready to paste in Rich Text editors.
    Uses the item / sub-items text and Doc pane content. Option to set the base heading level and list type. Details here: HTML Outline Export
  39. New: Print-Preview / Export: Print-ready Style-based export of the outline of items / sub-items (same as Copy as HTML Outline command)
  40. New: Grid: Items are now either Headings or Normal Text. Affects both Outline Styles and Labels. Also used by the new Copy as HTML Outline command. Use the H and N icons on the Format toolbar to set. By default, all items are Headings
  41. New: Grid: Edit > Paste > Paste as Plain Text command
  42. New: Grid: Edit > Paste: Improved support for HTML formats
  43. New: Grid: Home / End moves the focus to the first / last column. Hold Ctrl to also move the focus to the first / last item in the grid
  44. New: Grid Properties: Columns showing the font / colors now use: blank = All, -1 = Database Default
  45. New: Surface: For rectangular links, improved visual when lines cross each other
  46. New: Doc pane: Copy / paste image files: Drag-drop is still not possible for image files, but it is now possible to copy / paste image files from Windows Explorer to the Doc pane editor. Supports 1 or more image files
  47. New: Doc pane: Drag-drop image files is now possible by opening the Insert > HTML Code dialog
  48. New: Doc pane: When 2 Doc panes show the same item, only one can be in Edit mode

  61. Fixed: Grid: Dragging an image file onto a grid with the option to create a shortcut to the file did not show the image
  62. Fixed: Doc pane: When the Properties pane was shown, the doc pane was attached to it to become a pane group. It is now properly docked to the main window
  63. Fixed: Doc and Properties pane: changing the item text did not update the pane caption
