What file structure does IQ expect to import hierarchical data (e.g. Tab Indented)?

A simple example?

I'm finding it excruciatingly slow to add custom icons.  I've spent well over an hour on it and have less than 10% of my icons inside InfoQube and working.

Things that make it slow:

1) Files have to be .gif but all my icons are either .ico or .png.  Converting them has proven to be quite the time sink as I've had to try out multiple online converters with various problems attendant to that.

2) Having to reboot every time you want to see what you have.

I still have this problem:

I show upcoming calendar events during the next week or two at the top of my main action grid. This allows me to order them in a mix with todos from the grid.

So say I have an appointment at three, I can put two gardening todos on top, then have the appointment as the next item in the grid and below I can have a 'prepare dinner' todo or some such. This create a timeline of upcoming stuff in the same place has become essential to my workflow.

hi,

have been having some problems using the Journal grid. First I wondered why every item I created there was disappearing. Finally worked out it was because the date filter was on and it was set to May 2020. Maybe this should be removed? Having used IQ before I knew enough to check for a date filter but a new user might not. 

I have a Tag #Status with several children including #Do and #Done.
I have a Grid with Source #Do and a column #Status.

Some items have assigned #Do and some items have assigned #Do and #Done (and other children).
I want to exclude/hide items which have the #Done Tag.

In the Source Filter, I enter "#Done is null".
However, then all items are excluded...

What am I doing wrong?

Is it possible to open the same grid in a tab in both a left vertical tab group and a right vertical tab group?

With a grid open in a tab in the right vertical tab group, I tried to open the same grid in a tab in the left vertical tab group.  This simply activated the tab containing that grid in the right vertical tab group.

My idea was to make it easier to move items to different parents in the same grid, by dragging items to new parents in the other instance of the grid, to eliminate the back and forth scrolling required when reorganizing an outline in a single tab.

IQ has crashed a few times* and I keep loosing my Grid/Panes layout. I have backed up the *sndb file, but restoring it didn't help.
Where are the Grid/Panes layout saved? Are they maybe saved in the *.ini file?

I would like to have full backups going forward. In addition to the *.sndb & *.ini files and the *.Files folder, is there anything else that I need to backup?

*) I will try to reproduce it later and post it in the bug forum.

I am grouping my items by one column ("Type"), and would like to sort the items within the groups based on another column ("ItemCreated"). Is this possible?

According to the manual here https://www.infoqubeim.com/drupal5/node/864, this does not seem to be possible?:

1. None (Manual)
2. Sort Bar
3. Source Items Sort
4. Group-By Bar

1) Item is assigned to the grid source field.  Display mode is set to outline.

2) Item is also assigned as a subitem in the same grid.

3) Item displays correctly in its subitem position but will not display at the top level of the outline.

Could someone explain this? 

I reread the Display Mode section of the manual and did not see an explanation.

I want to add a child Tag in the Tag Pane, but w/o selecting an item in a Grid.
In this case the Tag list in the Pane is grayed out, and it is difficult to know which Tag I have selected.

I can still create a child, it is just difficult to know where it will be created since there in no feedback of which Tag is currently selected.
