context parent TLI not sorting as expected

Submitted by jimspoon on 2024/12/03 16:35

Does a TLI that is a context parent sort the same way as TLIs that meet the grid filter?  I have a grid in which the sort order is set to "item desc".  The first TLI shown in the grid is a context parent, i.e. it does not meet the grid filter, though a subitem does.  The item text begins with "2017".  The second TLI shown does meet the filter, and the item text begins with "2024".  Based on the grid sort order of "item desc", the TLI starting with "2024" should appear before the item starting with "2017".  Any idea why these items are not sorting as I expected?

Calendar Repeating events - How do others handle them.

Submitted by Maxbear35 on 2024/06/28 12:37

! am attempting to move from Anydo into the IQ calendar. After discussing this with a very helpful Pierre I find myself stuck at the problem of handling repeating events (such as my weekly language class etc.) 

As the event date comes up and get's done I want to mark it as done and grey the item to indicate it as done. Sadly you can't do this in IQ because if you do then all repeated items of the same event will consequently  be marked done and greyed out 

My question is how do other IQ calendar users handle repeating events and possibly marking them as done. 

vertical alignment in grid

Just curious.  I added a new column to a grid and entered a value in the column.  The text was vertically aligned lower (centered?) than the existing text values displayed in other columns, which were top-aligned.  In Field Properties the Alignment for the field is Left; is there a setting anywhere for Vertical alignment?

Obsidian Sync: The question of file name length limits

Submitted by lucasd on 2024/04/24 18:55

For those of us who like to use IQ Grids for writing rather than using the Document Pane, the question of file name length limits will be a key question when it comes to syncing with Obsidian. Based on some initial searching, it sounds like Windows file paths are typically limited to 260 characters, but that limit can be lifted. And it sounds like Android limits are typically similar, although on some phones it could be half that. So I guess I could just have a Grid that collects any items that are too long... Any thoughts?

 

Obsidian Sync: Works great with new "Bearings" plugin!

Many thanks, Pierre, for the new Obsidian Sync! Totally awesome.

In a stroke of good timing, a brand-new Obsidian plugin has just been released a few days ago that makes it possible to navigate the IQ item hierarchy from within Obsidian, even on mobile:

All I had to do was to configure the plugin to use "Parents" as the parent field, and now the plugin displays full IQ hierarchy trees for all items.

doc pane - open, save web page internal / external htm/mht

I made a test item, opened a doc pane.  In the doc pane, did Menu > File > Open > Open Web Page.  Pasted a URL, in this case, just as an example, "https://www.voidtools.com/".  The page loaded in the doc pane.  (Having trouble getting some other pages to load, but this one did.)  The URL appears in the field ItemHTMLFile.

attach doc pane to current tab or main ui - not grasping this

Submitted by jimspoon on 2024/03/13 19:39

When I select View > Document > New Document Pane, I get the dialog that asks me if I want to attach the Doc Pane to the Current Tab or the Main UI.  I'm having trouble understanding this concept, or how it is helpful.  I could understand wanting to be able to have two doc panes open, each viewing the doc content for two different items.  So in that case you'd want to lock a doc pane to a particular item, not to a particular workspace tab, or so it seems to me.
