I know I posted this a long time ago but will dredge it up again because I find that the limitations in loading column sets really reduces their usefulness.

When you load a column set:

1) It does not preserve column arrangement (the order is preserved but all columns are loaded to the right of the item column)

2) It does not preserve column groups (groups are disbanded)

3) It does not preserve hidden columns (all columns are loaded)

Hi IQ Users !

Currently in IQ, hierarchies show parent - child links. There are however many other links that could benefit from a visual representation (grid, 2-D surface, etc), such as:

Could you please add supports for embedding files & folders in the infoqube database?, instead of only link/shortcut to the files.

I would suggest adding a horizontal scroll bar in the Tags pane (could appear only when needed). Would be helpful with multiple levels of child tags, as an alternative to the user increasing the width of the Tags pane.

Thanks for considering this.

I am frequently using the Column Filters; in particular the item text column.
It would be great if previous filters could be saved like it is for the Source Filter.

I don't know if this is really a problem worthy of action, but if I've done this once, I've done it 30 times:

1) Load column set

2) Since column sets don't preserve column groups, start grouping columns to re-create correct column layout.

3) Group columns won't  work.  When group command is initiated, the selection is lost and no action is taken.

The first time this happened, I almost posted a thread after spending several minutes trying to get the group command to work.

Suggestion 1: Add hierarchy view to Manage Grids Dialogue

This is the same function presently in the "All Fields" section of the properties pane.  Fields can be shown in an alphabetical list or in an outline that you can edit.

Provides a simple way to organize and find grids.  For example, 1) group grids by topic headers; 2) hide little-used grids; 3) hide large sets of grids that would otherwise clutter the view.

Text = White

Item Back Color = [some dark color]

Can't edit white text normally because when you enter edit mode the background turns white and the text disappears.

Suggestion: have text colors switch to black during edit mode.

White text is usually a bad idea for readability but I'm finding it useful sometimes to combine it with a bold fill color to make a header stand out.

It would be nice if the prefix of Tag groups could be hidden. For example, in the example below, the prefix "Tag: Rich_tags:" would be hidden in the Item text:

Couple of minor suggestions for the Add Column dialogue:

1) Allow the Description column to be edited so a column can be added and described in one operation.

Steps saved: 1) close "Add Column" dialogue; 2) open "Field Properties"; 3) find field.

2) Allow a field to be opened in the field dialogue for further editing (eg right-click>open in "Field Properties").  This could be a substitute for #1.  Has advantage of allowing full field editing, instead of just the description.
