Join command erases subitems

Header item on outline level 1

   Sub-header Item on outline level 2

      Multiple sub-Items on outline level 3

If the two items on levels 1 and 2 are joined, all the sub-items on Level 3 are deleted unless the option to delete the original is unchecked. 

99% of the time, I DO want the original deleted, so it was inevitable that the delete option would be checked.  I assumed the sub-items would remain under the new combined header.

Can't format hyperlinks

I'm having trouble seeing my in-line hyperlinks created with ctrl-k.

1) Hyperlinks aren't underlined

Aren't hyperlinks supposed to be underlined?  Mine aren't and I can't add underlining manually.  Underlining does appear when I enter edit mode, but then disappears when I exit to regular view.

2) Hyperlinks lose text color when highlighted.

I tried making a hyperlink more visible by highlighting it.  When I do this, the hyperlink text color reverts to black and it looks like ordinary highlighted text.

Collapse a Column

We can Hide columns but I often forget that I have hidden columns and I don't always right click to find hidden column.
I suggest an alternative to Hide by instead collapse a column, still visible but with a minimum width. Un-collapsing the column brings it back to its original width.

Find and Filter doesn't find item

Find and filter fails to find anything at all.

I found this section in the manual: https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/node/123 but it only addresses Scope: Current View.  I don't see anything about Scope: Entire File, which has different dialogue choices.

I suspect the problem is with "5-Add filter".  Mine was set to a date filter (no idea how that happened).  I changed it to "All items" but it still won't find anything when i do a search.  I don't understand this option and can't find anything in the manual.

Filesystem grid

A special outline/grid to browse the filesystem, and associate files as desired with IQ fields/tags.

The outline/grid replicates the filesystem hierarchy, but in the form of an IQ grid, and with the usual grid tools for navigating, collapsing, expanding, etc.

Grid columns include the usual file manager columns (Name, Extension, Size, Datetime stamps (Modified etc) but also IQ field columns as desired.

Import grid

A special grid to be used for importing data into IQ.

Copy a range from Excel, Google Sheets, etc. and paste into the Import grid.  IQ recognizes the data type of each column.

The column headers in the Import grid are the destination fields in IQ.  If column headers are pasted from Excel etc., IQ uses these.  If the IQ database has no corresponding field for a column, it is created and assigned the detected data type.  The column headers are dropdowns from which the user can select any desired destination field.

Inadvertent point-and-drag of an item under its child item

If a user intends to point-and-click on an item, but the user inadvertently holds down the mouse button for a bit too long, then IQ may interpret the action as a point-and-drag. If the cursor is in just the right spot (at the center or right part of the item's row, and near the bottom edge of the row) and the mouse is moving in just the right direction (down and to the right), then IQ may determine that the user intends to make the item a child to one of the item's own child items, and this will occur upon release of the mouse button.
