Import grid

A special grid to be used for importing data into IQ.

Copy a range from Excel, Google Sheets, etc. and paste into the Import grid.  IQ recognizes the data type of each column.

The column headers in the Import grid are the destination fields in IQ.  If column headers are pasted from Excel etc., IQ uses these.  If the IQ database has no corresponding field for a column, it is created and assigned the detected data type.  The column headers are dropdowns from which the user can select any desired destination field.

bookmark all tabs to IQ

I'd really like to be able to bookmark all my open browser tabs to IQ, where the tagging and organizing options are endless.  I use bookmarking not just to save sites of particular interest, but as an activity monitor, so I can retrace my steps, find projects to resume and pick up where I left off.  For me it's a nearly indispensable method.  I imagine browser extensions would be a big jump but perhaps some kind of sync mechanism with the Chrome / Firefox / Edge / IE Favorites bookmark stores would be possible at some point.

Include Filter Settings in Links to Grids

I have links to a Grid where I have used several different grid source filters.

It would be very helpful if the Link could include a previously used source filter (as found in the drop-down list). In this way, I wouldn't need to create multiple Grids, each with a different filter, to use for my links.

p.s. It would be even better if it was also possible to include previously used source and sorting..?

Keep selection on dragged item

Suggestion: switch current selection to any item that is dragged.

1) Drag item into a grid (eg an item from another grid or a link from a browser).

2) The current grid selection does not switch to the just-dragged item.  Instead, it remains on whatever item was previously selected.

For me, the most common action after dragging an item is to edit the text or move the item to a new location.  I do this automatically and many times have inadvertently edited or moved the wrong item because the selection didn't switch to the dragged item.

make tags pane non-modal?

I'm just now getting into tagging my items (late to the party) and am finding it very convenient to do it from the tags column in the grid.  I'm pressing F2 to bring up the tags pane.  I enter a few tags, but to move to the next item I have to clear the tags pane, move to the next item, and press F2 again.  Would it be a good idea to make the tags pane non-modal?
