Sensible value not to exceed for ItemTextSize

Submitted by LeftEccoForIQ on 2022/04/10 04:48

I'm considering filtering my main IQ file for items with large values for ItemTextSize, i. e. items with lots of item text, to move anything but a 'heading' or the first sentence to the HTML 'field'. Two questions:

1. Will this be worth my while from a performance / data security / stability point of view?

2. If yes, what would be a sensible value to shoot for as a maximum for item text size?

Many thanks!

I really thought I understood how to preserve my toolbar set up but I've lost it again.  I'm sure it happened because yesterday I using opening old versions of InfoQube trying to get copy-special to work.

I'd appreciate advice on what I did wrong.

1) I had four files open. 

2) Files #1 and #2 had the correct toolbars.

3) Files #3 and #4 had the wrong toolbars.

4) I closed files 2, 3, and 4.

Can I do the following without causing problems with my databases?  I think I can but I want to confirm.

1) Close current InfoQube files and leave my current full installation in place (v120Pre2).

2) Launch a previous portable version of InfoQube.

3) Open current databases and make changes using the old portable version.

4) Close the files, re-open them with the current version (which was left installed) and continue with work normally.

Hi Pierre,

I have Outlook Office 365. I used launched the Registry modifier OutlookPrototocol2016. I am able to drag and drop or copy and paste the Email file from Outlook to IQ. It appears to set up a hyperlink. However, when I click on it it does not link over to the email in Outlook.

- Is this not possible using Office 365?

Thank you.

Tab groups question

You can have either vertical or horizontal tab groups, but you can't have both.

Naturally, I'd like to have 4 groups arranged in a 2x2 grid, which isn't allowed.

Tabs can be detached to create a 2x2 grid but that isn't the same as having 4 windows, each of which can have multiple tabs.

Is there some other way to accomplish this that I'm not thinking of?

Use of "and" and "or" in conditional formatting for [ItemTags] contains ("A" and "B")

Hi, I'd appreciate your help.
I tested two different conditional formatting for the main "Item" field (ID 1).
I expected the background color becoming RED (BackColor=&H0000FF).
 
[ItemTags] contains ("1now" and "2soon")
[ItemTags] contains ("1now" or "2soon")
 
Something is wrong with the syntax, since all items are becoming RED, as shown in the screen-recording below.
 
Instead, I'd expect the following output according to each syntax:
 

Moving items long distances

Just needed to move an item from near the top to the bottom of a list with over 500 items.  Couldn't figure out an easy way to do it so I'm hoping to learn something new.

1) Dragging is great over short distances but not a long list.  You can't can't drag to the bottom of the screen and continue scrolling down.  You have to release the item, manually scroll down, re-select the item, and repeat. 

2) Keyboard alt-down arrow takes a long time.

3) There are more convoluted methods better avoided because of the extra steps (eg assigning sort numbers to a text field).
