Ability to suppress or set defaults for certain dialogs

Hello,

I would like to submit a feature request regarding several confirmation dialogs that appear very frequently during everyday use of InfoQube.

In workflows involving extensive drag & drop operations, especially when working with repeating items and field inheritance, the following dialogs are triggered repeatedly:

Set vertical alignment per field, not file

Suggestion: allow vertical alignment to be set for each field.  Right now, you can only set it for the whole file, I believe.

It also appears to be one of those universal settings that gets re-set depending on which file is closed last.  

This is probably an inherent limitation of the grid but from a user's standpoint it's not ideal to have to use the same setting for all your files.  That problem would go away if we could set it by field.

Customizing toolbar buttons - back color options

Submitted by LM77 on 2025/09/28 09:16

Currently (unless I am missing something) it is possible to customize the toolbar by adding buttons to set back colors from the 10 "Item Back Color" options listed under Item - Back Color (i.e. from Red to Purple).

Would it be possible to add an option to provide such buttons for other, user-specified colors which do not appear in that list (for example, Teal and Sea Green, which I often use with dark mode)?

Thanks!

View Item By Form Issues

Not sure if bugs or feature requests..

I am using the "View Item By Form" popup dialogue:
1. I delete a field in the form, save it, and close. However, the field is not deleted.
2. In a date field,  I open the popup calendar to set a date and time. However, the popup calendar is missing the buttons to show the item in the main calendar and to set an alarm.  
(These buttons are also missing when creating a new item by using the "Add by Form" popup window and editing a date field)

Making items into children of their tags

As far as I am aware, it isn't officially supported/recommended to make regular items into children of their tags, but for my purposes, InfoQube works much more intuitively when I do this. With this approach, I can easily view, in a single grid, a full hierarchy of tags and subtags with their items and subitems. (A good example of something similar is Wrike's implementation of virtual folders that function like tags.) Am I correct that this approach isn't officially supported, and if so, could it become supported?

Keep Image Aspect Ratio

I often paste bitmap images into the Doc pane. When I edit the image size, it would be helpful to be able to lock the Aspect ratio.

For example, if I have an image 520x310 and I change the width to 200, the height would then automatically be set to 119 w/o me having to calculate the ratio 520/200=2.6 and then manually adjust the height to 310/2.6=119.

ASUTYPE macros & IQ

Submitted by Maxbear35 on 2025/07/28 21:39

I'm writing to inquire if there's a possibility to integrate ASUTYPE macros directly into the IQ toolbar as customizable shortcuts.

Currently, I've developed several valuable ASUTYPE macros that efficiently call various IQ functions. The next logical step for optimizing my daily tasks would be to have these macros accessible with a single click from the IQ toolbar, rather than requiring multiple steps to execute. This would provide a significant boost to my efficiency and overall user experience.

Give option to set outline indenting by grid

Submitted by WayneK on 2025/07/14 16:24

Outline indenting is controlled by a single option that applies to the whole file.

I'd like to have the option to override this setting for individual grids, as listed in the Manage Grids dialogue.

There are certain situations where I want to:

1) Minimize the indent so I can display many levels of outline info in a continuous list where the lower levels aren't progressively offset and squeezed out to the right.

2) Maintain the ability to collapse and hide different levels of the outline.

This would give the user more flexibility in displaying info.
