Hello all.

I have been using Ecco Pro since 1995. I love it, but am growing increasingly concerned with its data limitations and orphan status, and I have had a few scares with data corruption over the years.

For those reasons, I would like to transition to InfoQube, a modern program that was inspired by Ecco.

Win 10

IQ Ver 120PRE5

Everything works well. I have a column that auto inserts the date when I add an item. Just need a column to auto insert the time.

I tried setting up a new date column and changing the format to time but no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

I tried to run a database repair on my new 160 mb file after getting a message about corruption.

An hourglass came up and remained unchanged for 45 minutes.  I finally killed the process to exit InfoQube.  Tried it twice more and it locked up again (though I waited only a few minutes this time).

Past repairs have taken only a few seconds so I presume these are lockups.  How should I proceed? 

I have a ToDo Grid with ToDo items that is filtered for some date (e.g. Today). The items are not subitems.
Each item has a number field to specify the task time.

1. Is it possible to calculate the total time for all the tasks that are shown in the Grid? (The sum could be shown in separate "total" column that would show the running total of all items.)

I recently had a good connection to my google calendar. I had delted it because there were too many birthdays. I created a new google account but cannot connect to it. see the message.

I recently had to delete day of the week from my Windows short date format in order to get InfoQube to function properly (eg with sorting and copy-special).

I really miss the day of the week display on my Windows taskbar.

I tried various combinations of date formatting in Win 10 but was unable to find anything that didn't interfere with InfoQube.

What can be done to reduce file size (besides compacting)?  Do any of the following affect file sizes?

1) Putting text in grid vs in document pane

2) Splitting text into many items vs few (eg the same text split into 10 items vs 1)

3) The number of tags or tag assignments, hyperlinks etc?

I believe putting images in doc panes does not affect file size as long as you have the option checked to not store images in the database.

I'm guessing the above effects are minimal and it's the gross amount of data being stored, no matter how it's organized.

I'm guessing this has been discussed before, and I think it's a common question in the world of outliners, but I'm looking for a way to change the outdent behavior in IQ. Say I have a simple outline:

• Item1
  • Subitem1
  • Subitem2
  • Subitem3
• Item2

If I outdent (move left) Subitem2, I get:

• Item1
  • Subitem1
  • Subitem3
• Subitem2
• Item2

But what I actually want when I outdent Subitem2 is to get:

• Item1

Sorry for trivial question, but what is the simplest way to move an item right after editing it?

After I have edited an item, I am still in edit mode and the item cannot be moved. I therefore have to click elsewhere and then click back to select the item so that I can move it.

Is this the way to do it or is there some way to move the file right after I competed the editing?

I increased the Outline Indenting and got a dialog asking me to move files.

It is a bit confusing because the directory is Viking.SNDB.files.
In this directory, I have another directory Viking_copy.SNDB.files and some other directories (for other SNDB files) as well as a a few regular files.

The message stated to move files from Viking.SNDB.files to its subdirectory Viking_copy.SNDB.files. Am I only supposed to move the few files, but not directories (which would cause a loop...)?
