I've written a Natara Bonsai export template to InfoQube. It's at https://gist.github.com/2775504.
 
Not sure if anyone else is using Bonsai, but its really the best outline for filtering outside of InfoQube/EccoPro I have found on Windows. And it actually does true full outline filtering unlike InfoQube (see "Context Parents" only shows the first parent.). Its biggest weakness is it doesn't do custom fields/columns which is why I have been wanting to try IQ instead. It also doesn't do recurrence, but I have a XSL script/hack I wrote for that. You can get more info at http://www.natara.com/Bonsai/index.cfm. That said, I am hoping to make the switch to InfoQube, warts and all.
 
The export template generates an XML file that can be pasted into InfoQube. It uses the InfoQube paste XML format because it supports dates and other aspects that InfoQube OPML/URp import does not (see URp/OML/OPML import).
 
-- INSTALL
Simply place file in Bonsai's program directory (e.g. C:Program FilesNataraBonsai).

-- USAGE
- In Bonsai choose File>>Export>>InfoQubePaste
- Choose where you want to save the file
- Click Yes when asked if you want to save the file
- Copy all the text in the file
- In InfoQube choose the Grid you want the items in and paste

-- NOTES
If you want all the items in the grid don't forget to add the grid name to "Auto assign the following fields" in the settings of the grid you are pasting into.

Since InfoQube supports custom fields you may need to change the field mappings below or create the fields in InfoQube. Simply make sure that each FieldName attribute matches the field name in InfoQube.
