Increase performance ("snappiness") when not using some advanced features

Are there any options / settings that I could try toggling to make IQ a little snappier if I don't use all of its features? For example, I do not use tags, not all types of equations, no inheritance, and (at least I think) I don't use conditional formatting. Probably some others as well.

Failing that, what settings would generally have the most impact on how snappy working in grids might feel?

Many thanks!

Showing calendar full-screen

My calendar currently opens in a pane right of the active grid, with the properties pane making up the right edge of the screen.

While this is nice for viewing a couple of days or a week via the horizontal scroll option, what I've been wanting for a long time now is a quick way to pop up a fullscreen (monthly) calendar view, ideally without it altering (or me having to alter) anything about the existing calendar pane that I use, i. e. an independent month overview in a popup window would be really handy. For all I care, it could even be read-only.

Moving InfoQube document files to new drive

I'm going to try moving my document files to an SSD to see if it'll help with my long-standing buffering problems.  The program itself already runs from the C drive (SSD) but i have my document files on a regular internal hard drive.  I plan to do this:

1) Move .sndb files and associated SNDB folders to the Docs folder on the C drive

2) Launch files from that new location.

Is that all I need to do?

Database rebuild questions

I was finally able to successfully complete a database rebuild.  I have questions about what I'm supposed to do now:

1) Rename rebuild file to original file name (and move original file elsewhere)?

2) Delete rebuild folder for SNDB files (it's empty)?  Revert to using the original SNDB folder?  I'm presuming these files aren't affected by the rebuild.

Couldn't find anything in the manual.

How do I determine existing font?

Submitted by WayneK on 2024/10/01 09:55

Select text>Font tool>dialogue.  When the font dialogue pops up it always shows the same settings regardless of what text I've selected (mine shows Segoe UI + Regular + 11).

How do I determine the existing font?  Shouldn't the font dialogue show the font of the selected text?  Mine always shows the same font, regardless of the text selected.

Googly sync: Can't get events of Google sub-calendar to show up in IQ on setting "view events only"

The "sub-calendar" is checked in IQ calendar's left pane. In the Googly sync dialog, it is set to sync every 300s with the "View Events" setting selected.

However, no events from that calendar ever show up in InfoQube. Is that just broken and do I need to select one-way Google ► IQ sync to get it to work?

By the way, the dialog that pops up when clicking the arrow button to configure the details of a calendar's sync has several issues related to the size of individual dialog elements on my system.

Many thanks!

How to copy everything except creation date?

How do I copy/paste an item:

1) With all its subitems and formatting

2) With current created/modified dates 

I think I've tried all the copy/paste options.  Copy special #6 does what I want except it uses the original creation date of the item.  I want to use the today's date for this.
