Locking tab positions

Tabs should maintain their positions until manually moved, but they don't.  They periodically move on their own, often 1-3 positions.

I know I posted on this a few years ago and Pierre said he would look into it.  I can't remember seeing a follow up and can't find the original thread. 

This might be one of those grid things outside of Pierre's control.

reciprocal fields

Just getting started with Related Items.  Just as an example, I have a grid listing my flash memory cards, and other grids showing lists of devices in which the cards can be installed.  In my grid of flash memory cards, I'd like to be able to see the device in which each card is installed; and in my grids containing lists of devices, I'd like to be able to see the flash memory card it has installed.  Ideally, the Flash Memory Cards grid would have an "Installed In" column, and the Device Grids would have an "Installed Memory Card" column, but it would be reciprocal, e.g.

"Current Column Set" form

Working in a grid on a laptop, wanting to make sure that I have appropriate data entered in the columns in the current column set.  But I've got the columns resized too narrowly, can't see the column label.  At this point I think it would be really handy to have all the current columns.in a form.  I found that I can right-click the Grid tab > Manage Forms, which takes me the current grid in the Manage Forms dialog.  I can right-click that grid in the list and then Save Columns as Form.  Seems like it might be a good idea to have "Current Column Set" as a selectable form in the Properties

Collapsing outline

Example:

1) I have a long outline with different sections expanded to different levels.

2) I want to select a section of the outline and collapse it to one level, while leaving the rest of the outline unaffected.

3) Select items>ctrl-left arrow

4) This collapses only the first or last item in the selected list.  Remaining items remain expanded.

Shouldn't this method work for expanding/collapsing sections of an outline?

open non-IQ opml files by default?

I know we can import OPML files into Infoqube into an existing IQ database, and that's great, but you might consider enabling IQ to become a default viewer/editor for OPML files.  Right now there doesn't seem to be a good modern app for this purpose -

Include an option to add a second indication that an item is a parent to the right of that item

I know there are the open / close icons to the left of items already but personally, I'd appreciate a second visual indication at the other end that there are child items currently not visible. Would it be possible to add something like a '+' character or '...' at the end of the text displayed for an item when it is the parent of a folded subtree?

I think it would make outlines a good deal more readable

Many thanks!

A more powerful LOCK

Suggestion.

A more powerful lock option. Currently lock prevents deletion.

A more powerful lock feature would prevent an item being moved .

Sometimes I have outlines that have dependencies above and below on the outline.

I would like to be able lock them as they are  (but still allow editing)

Something akin to making a editable PDF of the outline.
