Just needed to move an item from near the top to the bottom of a list with over 500 items.  Couldn't figure out an easy way to do it so I'm hoping to learn something new.

1) Dragging is great over short distances but not a long list.  You can't can't drag to the bottom of the screen and continue scrolling down.  You have to release the item, manually scroll down, re-select the item, and repeat. 

2) Keyboard alt-down arrow takes a long time.

3) There are more convoluted methods better avoided because of the extra steps (eg assigning sort numbers to a text field).

When I split an item while editing, a new item is created with the text after the cursor, but the text also remains in the existing item, resulting in duplication. Is that how it's supposed to work? If so, is there a way to split while editing and remove the text after the cursor from the existing item?

Hi, I'd appreciate your help.

I set the following conditional formatting expecting the main items font to become RED (ForeColor=&H0000FF) according to the ItemTags:

[ItemTags] startwith "a"

So given the tags listed in the screenshot below, I'd expect that any item with assigned tags aASK, aFOLLOW, or aTHINK would become RED.

However, it isn't working.

What could be going wrong?

Thank you,

Carlos

Hyperlinking to items in other InfoQube files isn't working for me. 

This happened before and I was given info on installing a protocol.  My link to that thread is now dead and I can't find it with forum search nor in the manual.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

I have a Yes/No field "ToDo" and a date field "Date".
When I check the ToDo box I want to set the Date to Today and then uncheck the ToDo box.

I tried these equations:
1. For ToDo:  A: Date=Now
2. For Date:  A: ToDo=

However, only the first equation is executed; checking ToDo sets the Date, but the ToDo box is subsequently not unchecked.

I think that I read in the Doc that it is not possible the way I tried it..?? Is there a workaround?

I need some pointers on finding lost items.  I couldn't find the topic that covers this in the manual.

Just had several items disappear from a grid.  Have spent over an hour trying to find them with no luck.

1) Tried to open Journal to find them but there are too many items (44,000+).  Tried to load full set anyway but InfoQube froze and I had to close the file

2) Tried loading first 5,000 in Journal.  Was expecting to see the last 5,000 created but instead got dates from all over the place.  Why not have a date filter there so you can control what's loaded?

I have items in a grid, e.g. ToDo,  that I want to quickly make subitems of contacts (items) in the addressbook.
I created a new text field, contacts, with a list of pop-up items using the items in the addressbook.
I can now select the contacts from the addressbook in the Contacts field.

However, that does of course not make the items subitems of the contacts in the addressbook.

I wonder if it is possible to create a script, something like this:

If contacts = Addressbook-itemText then make ToDo-item subitem of Addressbook-item
 

Sorry for a trivial question, but how do I enable wordwrap in the calendar? The item text is cutoff in weekly view.

I tried to load a grid and got the message that it has around 40k items, do I want to load only the first 1,000? 

I think in this particular grid most of the 40000 items that meet the filter are subitems, and that far fewer are TLIs.  I was thinking that maybe IQ wouldn't freeze in this case, and that only the TLIs might be shown and this wouldn't make IQ go non-responsive.  So I took a chance and clicked on "Load All Items".  IQ went "not responding".  I guess IQ loads all the items meeting the filter regardless of level and IQ can't load that many.

When I open an existing InfoQube window, often I get the hourglass symbol and the window fades out for 20-30 seconds during which I can do nothing.

Happens a dozen times a day, at least, and is annoying especially when i just want to add a quick note and be done with it.

Doesn't happen every time.  Happens very occasionally with other programs but it's nearly always InfoQube. 

Maybe related to Windows 10 and/or InfoQube backups?  Also maybe related to my new drives which seem to go to sleep when not in use and require time to wake up before they're accessible.
