Open a selected item in a new/scratch grid?

Hi Pierre,

Is there a way to select an item, and then open it in a new or scratch grid, so I can see it with all its parents and children, but without the grid source, filter and sort criteria of the grid where I found it?  In effect, a special kind of Hoist, because Hoist now keeps all the info from the source grid.  I tried using the omnibox search with its itemID but that didn't work.

 

Thanks!

Setting frame colors

How do I set a default frame color for calendar events which is different from the default fill color? (as e.g. in the event illustrated in the Calendar help topic labeled Meeting With Customer Planning, where the frame color is green, while the fill color is pink? - see also the different fill and frame colors in that same help topic for the events entitled: under Installation at the Customer's Facilities / first iteration coding).

Hyperlinks don't open in desired grid

How do I specify which grid a linked item opens in?

User manual says "When linking to a single item, you can specify the grid, such as 1280|Inbox"

I can't get this to work.  When I click on a link using the above format, I get a dialogue saying the hyperlink target contains two links, which do you want to use?

As a side note, shouldn't a linked item always open in its home grid unless another grid is specified?

Function Question

I have a text field (popup list of items) "Ingredients"
I create a simple Auto-assign rule for "Ingredients": AME: #onion

When I change the Ingredients field the onion Tag is properly checked.

I then change the Auto-assign rule for "Ingredients" to use a function: AME: SetIngredientsTags([Ingredients])

with the function in the VB editor:
Function SetIngredientsTags(Ingredients)
    SetIngredientsTags="#onion"
end function

Crashings

Hola Greetings from Asuncion Paraguay.

I have been using the outliner portable latest version for some time without major problems (some ocasional crash, but usually data were not lost). But recently it does really crash very often.

I am using it with Windows 8.1 and run it on administration mode.

So i decided to download and run the full version of the app because it is one year younger that the outliner version only. And started to run it as portable, not set into any Windows programs folder, and run it in the administration mode.

add a subitem to an item shown in Live-Search?

Suppose I want to assign multiple parents to a marked item.  Live-Search provides a very quick way to find destination parents.  Is there a way to add the marked item to an item in Live-Search?  Add as Sub-Item does not appear in the context menu for an item in Live-Search.  I guess I have to click the item in Live-Search, show it in the Search grid, and use Add as Sub-Item in the search grid?

Find and Filter doesn't find item

Find and filter fails to find anything at all.

I found this section in the manual: https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/node/123 but it only addresses Scope: Current View.  I don't see anything about Scope: Entire File, which has different dialogue choices.

I suspect the problem is with "5-Add filter".  Mine was set to a date filter (no idea how that happened).  I changed it to "All items" but it still won't find anything when i do a search.  I don't understand this option and can't find anything in the manual.

Any way to make it easier to add custom icons?

I'm finding it excruciatingly slow to add custom icons.  I've spent well over an hour on it and have less than 10% of my icons inside InfoQube and working.

Things that make it slow:

1) Files have to be .gif but all my icons are either .ico or .png.  Converting them has proven to be quite the time sink as I've had to try out multiple online converters with various problems attendant to that.

2) Having to reboot every time you want to see what you have.
