Sorting anomaly (I think)

Submitted by Maxbear35 on 2025/06/24 16:14

I select several items in a column. 
I right click to get the context menu and select sort (ascending or descending) Works fine

However 
If I try the same sort with the menu .COLUMN - SORT - ASCENDING  (or DESCENDING)  Nothing happens. No effect
I'd like to add a sort button to my custom bar but it seems not possible as the menu choice is not working (I think)

Any help appreciated. 
 

Thunderbird link opens Outlook

I have switched from Outlook to Thunderbird (actually Betterbird) and use an extension that creates links to selected messages. The link looks like this:  

thunderlink://messageid=684f0a63aaea3_1234a185110c2@deployment-background-default-857f9f5679-m8… 

If I add this link to Office, e.g. Excel, and click on the link, it opens my selected message. However, when I add the link to IQ, and click on the link, it tries to open Outlook.

hierarchical data import fails to import indented lines

Attached file sample.txt contains text.  Each line is tab-indented to the appropriate outline level.

Clicked File > Import > Hierarchical Data.  Loaded sample.txt.  IQ says "File type is: Tab Indented". 

Under Import Options, selected 1.  "Add all items to grid: Main2".  

Clicked Import button - only unindented items were imported.  No indented items were imported.

Also tried "Option 2. Add all items to field: main".  Clicked import again, only unindented items were imported, no indented items were imported.

A problem with using "find" in the doc pane.

When I use "find" in the doc pane with an ordinary document, there are the following problems:

a) It doesn't work in browse mode, only edit mode. In browse mode, the "find" dialogue box opens, but instead of finding something, it just closes. (Edit: I see now it will highlight all places with the term to be found, but it won't move there, so the highlighted terms might not even be visible. Moreover, once one exits the find dialogue, the highlight vanishes.)

Jumpy scrolling with vertical calendar multi-day views

Submitted by LeftEccoForIQ on 2025/04/15 09:30

For the 3 or 2-day view, vertical scrolling is very jumpy / choppy. Apparently you've set it up so that after scrolling ends, IQ adjusts the scroll state so that the topmost fully visible day is scrolled up to the top of the window. While this may be nice in theory, the effect is rather choppy and it sometimes feels like the scroll is moving backward almost as much as forward.

Problems erasing repeating calendar events

Submitted by LeftEccoForIQ on 2025/04/15 03:03

With several repeating calendar events I've had difficulties getting them to disappear from the calendar, even though I had never consciously created any exceptions from a series. In particular, there seems to be no effective 'nuke' option to get rid of everything connected with the event / item. I've tried:

1. Delete item(s) - no effect on the particular calendar event though I can now no longer find the item through live search. Which again seems strange as the item text is still in the database somehow, isn't it?

values for item listed multiple times in Properties Pane > Item Properties > Values

I'm really liking the Properties Pane filter and the selectable headings for better keyboard navigation.  But I'm seeing a bug in 127.0Pre12 which is easily seen in the following Properties Pane screenshot.  The set of fields and values for the current item is shown multiple times under Properties Pane > Item Properties > Values, instead of just once:
