Can someone help me understand what settings are causing the following behaviors:

 

1) When I enter edit mode, multi-line item text is displayed in a single line that disappears at the right column line.

 

2) The WYSIWYG option is grayed out.

 

This started when I opened an old file I haven't used in a long time.  All the grids in this file are behaving this way.  All my other files are behaving normally.

 

Example:

Hi IQ Users,,

 

2020 has been a year like none we've gone through before.

I successfully imported some 140,000 items from a CSV file (saved from Excel) to a test IQ database.  The items had only two fields - Item and EntryDate.

 

Now that I have them in my "test" IQ database, and things are working well, I thought I would try copying/exporting the items from the test database to my "main" IQ file.

 

The problem is, the copy/export functions all pertain to Selected items.  So you have to display them in a grid and then select them before you can attempt the copy/export.  

 

I can't load all the 140,000 items I want to copy/export in a grid.  I selected "load all items" maybe an hour ago but the grid still hasn't loaded, and the hourglass is still showing.

 

I could do this export in several pieces, by loading fewer items into the grid, doing an export, then dong another batch, etc.

 I'd like to see the Folders and Tags pane of the item editor have a greater maximum width,

As shown, I can drag the bar to the left to make the numbers show, but I have no way of having the entire field/grid name and grid indicator arrow show for some of my grids.

 

By the way, thank you so much for the filtering boxes; I hope you keep them coming (maybe Manage Fields next?).

In the section on XML copy of items from one iqbase to another, the manual says "f the export must contain field values, these fields must be created in the destination IQBase first".  Is there a way to get a list of all the fields used by any one of the selected items?

 Using 116m.  I copied a file path to the clipboard.  Then I put an IQ cell into Edit Mode, and used Ctrl+A to highlight the existing contents.  Then Ctrl+C to paste the new text into the cell.  The Paste Special dialog appeared, asking if I wanted to paste Unicode or HTML format.  I pressed Enter to paste Unicode format.  The highlighted text was not replaced.  Rather the pasted text was prepended to the existing text.  Bug?

I have a number of programs that store data in hierarchical XML or JSON type formats, and I'm wondering whether it would be possible to import this data into IQ, perhaps with user assignment of the XML elements to IQ fields.

 

For example, I have a bookmark program called Linkman.  It is very good but no longer actively developed.  I often think how I could do more with the data in IQ than I can in Linkman.  I can get the data into IQ but it's much more difficult than it should be.  The export to CSV or TSV is not easy and that does not preserve the hierarchy of the data either.  I examined the Linkman data file.  It is XML type even if it is not exactly completely XML compliant (there is no root element, for example).  But it is easy to see how the hierarchy of folders and bookmarks is achieved.  

 

Here's a typical folder element:
