How do I backup/restore my Grid/Panes layout?

IQ has crashed a few times* and I keep loosing my Grid/Panes layout. I have backed up the *sndb file, but restoring it didn't help.
Where are the Grid/Panes layout saved? Are they maybe saved in the *.ini file?

I would like to have full backups going forward. In addition to the *.sndb & *.ini files and the *.Files folder, is there anything else that I need to backup?

*) I will try to reproduce it later and post it in the bug forum.

 

Group by Bar and then Sort by Column?

I am grouping my items by one column ("Type"), and would like to sort the items within the groups based on another column ("ItemCreated"). Is this possible?

According to the manual here https://www.infoqubeim.com/drupal5/node/864, this does not seem to be possible?:

  1. None (Manual)
  2. Sort Bar
  3. Source Items Sort
  4. Group-By Bar
The sorting modes are mutually exclusive, so only one can be active at any one time.

Why doesn't item display?

1) Item is assigned to the grid source field.  Display mode is set to outline.

2) Item is also assigned as a subitem in the same grid.

3) Item displays correctly in its subitem position but will not display at the top level of the outline.

Could someone explain this? 

I reread the Display Mode section of the manual and did not see an explanation.

If an Item is not selected I can't see which Tag is selected.

I want to add a child Tag in the Tag Pane, but w/o selecting an item in a Grid.
In this case the Tag list in the Pane is grayed out, and it is difficult to know which Tag I have selected.

I can still create a child, it is just difficult to know where it will be created since there in no feedback of which Tag is currently selected.

Tag Inheritance Issues

I have worked the whole day with Tags on my database and have managed to mess it up :-(. I think that I may need to go back to an old backup (I assume that I would just rename SNBKM to SNDB?)

Part of it the corruption may be because of my incomplete understanding. Please answer my questions, even if they are Trivial and explained in the manual..
Consider this simple example of Tag hierarchy

New Item & Inbox Grid - Field vs Tag

Submitted by viking on 2022/07/24 21:24

By Default, new items are added to the Inbox Grid (with Source = Inbox field) when the "New Item to IQBase" window is used.

If I look at the Inbox field in the window, it is not automatically checked. However, after clicking on OK, the field is automatically checked and the new item is therefore shown in the Inbox Grid.

Now, I wanted to use an "Inbox" Tag instead of the  "Inbox" field as a source for the "Inbox Grid", but that doesn't work. After clicking on OK, the  "Inbox" Tag is not checked and the item therefore doesn't show in the Grid.
