Unbolding part of a line?

Submitted by WayneK on 2024/03/24 14:40

1) Select item>ctrl-B.  This bolds all the text in the item field plus any other fields designated in Manage Grids.

2) Is there any way to then select part of the item text and "un-bold" it while keeping everything else bolded?

The only way I know to do this is to turn off bold for item text, then select and bold the text in each column, which is time-consuming.

I'm not asking for a new feature.  I just wondered if there's a way to do it with existing commands.

How to move an SNDB file from one portable IQ version to a new version

Submitted by rbmcgrath on 2024/03/22 19:57

It is not as simple as copying MYAUXILIARYBRAIN.SNDB from the ..\InfoQubeV122qPortable\AppFiles\MYAUXILIARYBRAIN.SNDB.SNDB.Files to ..\InfoQubeV124.6Portable\AppFiles\MYAUXILIARYBRAIN.SNDB.SNDB.Files.  When I double-click my SNDB file in the new V124.6 folder, the V122q version of IQ runs.

Perhaps related is the attached screenshot of the options for the V122q file containing a .Files path for the V124.6 copy of my SNDB file.

Find and Filter Errors

I open the "Find and Filter.." Dialogue and add a search word.
Scope = Entire File
Find/Filter Action = Show in Search Grid.
Match Field = item text
Match Type is grayed out
Add Filter= (none)

Clicking on "Find/Filter" results in a pop up error message dialogue in the center of the screen that I need to click OK:
"Error opening grid. check Grid source criteria"

If I close and reopen  "Find and Filter.." Dialogue and search again, I may instead get a transient status error message (in the lower right of screen):

Changing the source of a grid

I must be overlooking something very simple, but I can't manage to change the "source" of a grid in the Manage Grids dialogue. I can change the name of the grid and other properties of the grid, but when I change the source of the grid, the change is cancelled as soon as I leave the "Manage Grids" dialogue.   I tried on different grids, in different databases including a fresh new one, and even in a somewhat earlier version of IQ.

I can create a new grid via  the "New Grid" dialogue, but when doing this, one can only use the name of a field, not a more complex source.

force IQ to reload from sync folder?

Submitted by jimspoon on 2024/03/04 16:19

On my laptop, I added an item to my sndb database.  IQ wrote it to my OneDrive IQ sync folder.  (I use OneDrive rather than Dropbox because the free Dropbox plan limits you to a small number of connected devices, plus I do the $99 deal for MS Office + 1TB onedrive storage.)  On my desktop, OneDrive downloaded the laptop file from the sync folder.  But IQ on my desktop would not copy and reload the file from the sync folder.  Desktop IQ doesn't seem to recognize that there's been a data change, even though File > Properties shows that the laptop file has one more item than the desktop fil

"Disappearing" Subitems

Subitems are frequently disappearing for me and I may notice later that they have moved under a different parent.
It is not clear how this is happening, but I noticed once that an item in my ToDo list moved under a different ToDo item when I just clicked on it (no dragging). I am not able to reproduce it, but I would of course like to prevent this from happening.
I assume it has something to do how IQ interpret my mouse clicks..?

Has anyone else experienced this?

Calendar question

Submitted by LM77 on 2024/02/13 09:39
Forums

I usually create calendar events by dragging items from regular text grids to the Calendar, and these items are accordingly assigned by default to the Appointments calendar.

Sometimes I decide later to assign these items to some of my Google calendars. I can easily do this on an event-by-event basis by editing relevant events and changing the calendar to which they are assigned. However, is there any way to choose multiple events and then assign them to the Google calendar of my choice, and if so how?

Thanks!

easiest method for voice recording -> transcription -> import to IQ

Submitted by jimspoon on 2024/02/10 23:26

In the past I've had a reasonably easy method to make a quick voice recording and get it transcribed and into IQ -

(1) Android home screen shortcut opens up Gmail compose screen with "To:" field already filled in to send to my Infoqube emailtoiq Gmail address.

(2) In the Subject: field, enter a text abbreviation that Texpand app expands to a date/time stamp.

(3) Tap microphone icon in Gboard and start dictating - voice is transcribed and text goes into Subject field after the date/time stamp - this way the dictated text goes into the IQ Item field, not the Doc Pane.
