With the current modus operandi in grids, there is about a five second (?) delay before the angled arrow icon appears next to the mouse cursor and you can drop an item as the child of the item under the cursor. How about doing this immediately once an item is dropped with the mouse cursor over the header column rather than any of the others? That would speed things up for me... :-)

Are there any plans to improve how filtering is done? 

It was suggested that it be done via a dialogue pop up with a list of values that you can filter by.  You then simply check the values you want to display.  Everything would be direct and simple.

I find the current system difficult to figure out and I have tried many times, including spending hours setting up filter test cases to better understand how things work.  I've never been able to create exactly what I want.

This feature is something I was super interested in at one point, but the implementation is such that I never used it. Things position themselves incorrectly, there is no way to drag things around the way I'd like etc. I could record a video but I am not sure it's even required? I assumed the limitation was from the UI element it's based on.

Has this improved in the last several years and is there any way to make it more responsive without a tremendous amount of work? A nice mind mapping canvas for IQ would be pretty incredible.

When a grid filter is in effect (eg column filter), any items added to the grid should remain in view even if they don't meet the filter requirements. 

Right now, you cannot directly add a new item to a filtered view because the blank item disappears immediately (if that's not correct, let me know!)..

This would match hoisting behavior where new items are automatically added to the hoist and remain in view.

Hi IQ Users !

Have any of you been using / following Notion ?

I have, from a distance. My daughter has been using it exclusively for her course notes. Timing was great for her as (1) we're in a pandemic so she was at home and (2) Notion now has a free tier with unlimited items (blocks).

That said, I haven't used it myself, being very happy with what IQ provides...

I've noticed that in the results list when most of the resulting items have a good deal of item text, it is somewhat hard to distinguish where one item ends and the next begins. It would be great if there was an option for horizontal lines / frames or a few pixels' distance between items in that list / grid. I know I can set different colours for alternating lines, but that is a global setting if I'm not mistaken and I do not want to have a very strong contrast between lines in all my grids.

Attaching screenshot to illustrate problem...

Thanks!

Sometimes it would be nice not to display the document pane.

I know I can switch it off manually but that's not what I'm talking about.  Some grids are textual in nature and for those grids you want the Document Pane displayed.  But InfoQube is based on an SQL database and as such it can be used to manipulate tables of information which is not necessarily textual.

Hi!

I am trying to keep the size of my database (.SNDB file) down to reduce the sync time to OneDrive. I have a large collection of web clips and emails sent to IQ (via EmailToIQ and the web clipper). I want to store all of those as external HTML files instead of inside the database.  Is it possible to add an option - either for the database or for a grid - to use external HTML files by default?  Right now I am manually converting them to external files.

Edit: another thought - it could be an option in the web clipping window - save to external HTML file.

Suggestion:

When deleting a grid, provide additional option to "delete grid and field with same name" so you don't have to do a separate navigation to the field dialogue.

When you create a grid, InfoQube handily creates a field with the same name and sets it as the source for the new grid.

This would be the corollary of that on the opposite end.

Minor suggestion:

In grid view, you can create your own custom color palette.

In Field Properties, you cannot access these custom colors.  It would be nice if we could access custom colors there.

For me, it would be useful because I use color coding to group my grid tabs.  I then color the corresponding fields in Forms to match the grid tabs.  Right now I cannot do that because the custom colors are not available for fields.  I tried using "close enough" colors from the default color grid and custom layout but there are no tan or light brown colors there.
