Set up:

• 1) Left pane = main view of Grid-1
• 2) Right pane = view pane of same Grid-1 (right-click>copy view>paste view)

1) Select subitem

2) Refresh grid

3) Outline collapses to one level; current item selection is lost and moves to the top item in the grid.

This has happened many times but not all the time.  In one grid set up it happens 100% of the time but in another grid with a similar set up it doesn't happen.

Can't figure out what could be triggering it.

Shouldn't the copy settings for copy-special (ctrl-shift-c) always default to the last used settings.?

I always use option "6", but it keeps defaulting to option 3, making me change the selection every time.   I'm pretty sure this was working as I envision just a while ago.

I couldn't find an option setting to control it.

Didn't there used to be an option to set the selection as the default?

When I'm writing anything, I'm constantly rearranging my sentences or lines.  In Word or a text editor, this means cutting and pasting.  But if I put each sentence or line in an IQ item in an IQ outline, this rearranging becomes very easy.  An IQ item can become a whole document in its own right, consisting of its hierarchy of subitems.  Under that Level 1 "document" item, the Level 2 items could be headings, Level 3 items could be paragraphs, Level 4 items could be sentences.  And then at some point, this item could be printed or exported to a non-IQ format, with the IQ hierarchy being cor

IQ gives us many ways to group related items together, including parent-child links, tags, fields.  I had a thought about how the parent-child link might have an advantage over using tags or fields.  If you group (Level 2) related items under a (Level 1) parent item, you can arrange them in any order, and that order of subitems under that parent will be retained.  And an item may have multiple parents, each with its own ordering of its subitems.  An item may appear in one place under one parent and a different place under another parent.  I don't think you can do this with tags or fields, t

IQ supports OPML import and also OML import.  OPML makes heavy use of "attributes" enclosed in quotes, while other XML-type files may have lots of data enclosed in <> "elements" or "sub-elements".  I found some a page on how to convert from "sub-elements" to "attributes", which could make it easier to get the data into IQ via OPML import:

Don't know if this is a bug or just the way it works, but if you make an inline link to a PDF file, the link won't work if the file name includes an apostrophe.  Took some experimenting to figure out why I couldn't get a link to work.

I'm trying to add a few new fields in the Manage Fields dialog.

1.  Clicked the New button.

2.  Typed a field name in the Name text box in the upper right corner of the dialog.

3.  Selected Text as the field type.

4.  Clicked the Save button.

Nothing appeared in the field list, until I clicked in the field list.  Then the fields I tried to add finally appeared in the list - twice as shown below.  Should the field appear in the list immediately on clicking the save button (or before), and only once, without needing to click on the list?

I just noticed the F1 link in the lower right hand corner of the Find and Replace dialog and clicked it, and the Help page about Find and Replace opened in my browser.  That's great!  Is that implemented throughout IQ?

When I have an item focused and then Show All Subitems (either from Item menu or context menu) to show subitems that don't meet the source bar filter, only the first-level subitems are then displayed.  The first-level subitems can't be expanded to show the lower level subitems that don't meet the filter.  Instead, I have to focus each first-level subitem and select Show All Items again to show the next level of subitems that don't meet the filter.  Is this the way it's supposed to work?  I was thinking that Show All Subitems would show all the levels of subitems under the focused item; or a

Is having an undo that works for deleted items something that's on the list to do?  Would it be possible to have a recycle bin where permanently deleted items are held for a second, final deletion, like in Windows?
