One of the things I love about InfoQube is the information density it offers. It makes it convenient to have a lot of info visible on the screen. To that end, I have developed a system of using emojis to signify a variety of meaningful attributes and ways I can filter, or just visually search for needed info. It seems our brains are much quicker at catching colored shapes, even complex ones, than putting letters together and getting the meaning of the words they spell as we scan a page. So emojis work better for how our visual brains pick out connections to what's on the page before us.

There's probably nothing to be done about this because it's part of the grid design.

1) WYSIWYG is not WYSIWYG

When you enter edit mode, what you see is not what you see after you exit edit mode.

During edit mode:

I've been complaining about how I can't use my preferred software at work.  So I use Word for Outlining.  Better than nothing but it can't compare to IQ - no fields/columns for one thing.  I've also been experimenting with OneNote, because it's the only "notes" software I think I can use there.  I see all these good reviews for OneNote and think, what the hell?

Sad to say, I haven't been able to work in Infoqube much lately.  I sorely miss being able to use IQ at my job, but I am not permitted to use any software but what they have approved.  They even rejected my request to use a simple "Tab Renamer" extension for my browser.  It's hopeless to ask permission to use anything but what's on the "approved list".

Hi (been a while :-)

all the text in IQ is very blurry here -- including menus, tabs, items etc.
My display is 2560 x 1440 and is set to 125%. I dont have a problem with any other software I'm using at the moment.
I have cheked that grid zoom is at 100%

I just successfully imported the attached tab-indented text file, 1427 lines (all paragraphs were one line each).  Just a few notes.

(1) For some reason, IQ puts some of the last lines from the text file at the top of the grid.  I have to move them down manually.

(2) One the first attempt there was still an "importing" message at the bottom.  I thought maybe the import wasn't complete, but it was. 

(3) The completion message wasn't persistent, would be good to be sure that the import was successfully completed.

I'd love to be able to use Infoqube in my new job but the lockdown level is severe.  I've put in several "new software requests" but they're stuck at the "manager approval" level.  So the only thing I can use for outlining right now is Microsoft Word, and it's horrible as an outliner.

Just saw this article about MarkItDown, a utility that converts other file formats to Markdown. I'm wondering if it might be useful for converting documents that have an outline-type structure, but are in formats that IQ doesn't know how to import into the grid. If MarkItDown can convert those documents into good Markdown, perhaps IQ at some point will be able to import them from Markdown into a grid outline with the original outline structure preserved. 

Just recently I wonderd why I wasn't able to see some of my databases. Now I see the load option defaults to something called InfoCube Pro Database IQPD instead of the normal SNDB. 

Did I miss this introduction and what is it and how is it different from SNDB.

Thanks. 

I was curious whether the presence of a hash tag in Item field text or Doc Pane text would be sufficient to set a tag in IQ.  For example, if I simply typed in "#tag" in the Item field or the Doc Pane.  It seems it does not.  Rather, from what I can tell, the only way to set a tag by typing in the Item field or Doc pane is to type "##" to activate the Tag Dialog and enter the tags through the dialog.  I also wondered whether a tag would be set if I opened a document (already containing hash tags e.g. "#tag") in the Doc Pane.  As I expected this did not happen.
