Hi all, does anybody know of other good forums for general "outliner" discussion, not focused on a particular program?  Of course it is possible to post "general" discussion in a "program specific" forum, but then you don't want to muck up the forum for "program specific" users.  For example, I'm sure nobody would want our "What's New" page to be cluttered with posts not related to Infoqube.  I've posted in OutlinerSoftware for years but it is woefully deficient, especially compared to what Pierre has here.  No image support for screenshots, no formatting support, just plain text.  Proposed improvements were never implemented.

Couple of suggestions for improving how links are handled when dragged into InfoQube.

 

1) Don't refresh the screen. 

 

The screen is refreshed when a link is dragged into a grid, and the new link is shown near the bottom of the the screen.

After fiddling with equations for my main Action grid, the delete dialog now offers only complete deletion, not 'remove from this grid only' anymore. It works fine in other grids, but has ceased to work for this particular grid. I have to manipulate values in the properties grid and manually update the grid to achieve what the delete dialog did before. Thanks for helping me out.

I like to be able to sort by column, which is easy by clicking on any column header. But the problem is that the moment I close a grid, the next time I go back to it, it is always sorted by number/order created.

 

I can solve this by dragging a column header to the sort area, then it keeps it sorted even after it is closed, but that disables the ability to click on other columns to sort by those.

 

I am sure there is a way around this catch 22, but I am not sure what it is? I have also tried going to the grid settings and entering "item" in the sort box, which is what I usually want to sort by, and which i assumed might then make it unnecessary to drag up to the sort bar, thereby solving the issue. But that setting is not doing anything for me.

 

I am being lazy right now as I have not yet checked the documentation, which i will do tomorrow when I wake up if no one has answered :-).

I capture links by:

 

1) Select icon in Firefox address box

2) Left-click drag to InfoQube window

 

This stopped working yesterday.  When I drag the link, instead of getting a red line indicator in the target grid, I get a "no" symbol (circle with crossbar).

 

I hadn't made any changes to InfoQube or Firefox when the problem appeared.  The InfoQube addon is active in Firefox.

 

Just upgraded 9.113f to 114b and the problem is still there.

When I remove parent items from other grids so that they are only assigned to one date field (e.g. Appointments), I usually only come across them in the calendar. However, there is no indication in the calendar that these items have children. I can use the properties pane to check for existing children, of course, but I'd find a visual clue in the calendar (to remind me that there is additional info in the form of children attached to these items) quite useful. (Similar to the one now used for recurring events).

 

Of couse, it would be even greater to somehow be able to view these children directly through the calendar interface...

 

Cheers!

The Item Properties pane can be closed by repeatedly pressing Shift-F4. I feel it would make sense to have the same behaviour for both. Thanks!

 Just had an idea.  If the Parent Item text could be added as a column to a grid, then items could be sorted by parent Item even if Grid > Context Parents is set to None, simply by sorting on that Parent Item column.

I just discovered that if you have an "outline" in the form of tab-indented text in a text editor, and you copy and paste it into IQ, IQ will automatically create items and subitems corresponding to the number of tabs preceding each line.  Beautiful!  Great job, Pierre !!

 

Now for the "outline" in my Tabs Outliner Chrome extension.   I can drag and drop a parent and its children to other apps, and the results vary between destination apps.  If I drag to a text editor, each new level is represented by a four-space indentation.  (If I drag and drop a TO parent into Word or IQ, no children are pasted at all.)

 

In my Notepad++ text editor, I can quickly replace each 4-space indentation with a Tab, and then I can cut paste the resulting text into IQ with the desired results.

 

It would be nice if IQ would handle each 4-space indentation just as it handles tab-i
