Googly sync: Can't get events of Google sub-calendar to show up in IQ on setting "view events only"

The "sub-calendar" is checked in IQ calendar's left pane. In the Googly sync dialog, it is set to sync every 300s with the "View Events" setting selected.

However, no events from that calendar ever show up in InfoQube. Is that just broken and do I need to select one-way Google ► IQ sync to get it to work?

By the way, the dialog that pops up when clicking the arrow button to configure the details of a calendar's sync has several issues related to the size of individual dialog elements on my system.

Many thanks!

How to copy everything except creation date?

How do I copy/paste an item:

1) With all its subitems and formatting

2) With current created/modified dates 

I think I've tried all the copy/paste options.  Copy special #6 does what I want except it uses the original creation date of the item.  I want to use the today's date for this.

Time field for an item linked to Google Tasks

I am synching with Google tasks. Is there a field in IQ that corresponds to the time field in Google Tasks?

Update: I just discovered the answer in the help file ...

6.1 Task Due with Date and Time

On the web and in mobile apps, tasks due date can include a specific time. This time is not available to the API used by InfoQube. As a consequence:

  • In IQ, due date do not have a time component
  • If a task is modified in IQ, the time component will be lost after a sync

Link databases

Although I know you can load multiple IQ databases I wonder if it's possible to have a TAB in one database that links to a second IQ database so that the switching between them is transparent. Possibly even more databases linked via a T AB. Essentially they would all look like one database. 

Visual Basic: conditional on an item's parent

Hiyas!

Am currently using a mini VB script to color some items' backgrounds based on field values. The problem is that when I move them to become children, the field value I am basing this on is erased, so I would have to check whether the item's parent has that field value set (the items in question will only ever be demoted to second level so I'd only have to go up one level with the parent check).

How can I do that, please?

Here is the code I'm currently using:

Function CalendarColor(ItemColor, ItemIsRecurring, ItemInCalendar, A_Action)

IQ on a Mac

Hello, I have been running IQ on a Windows machine for a few years. I have some team members who want to try it on their Mac. Has anyone had success with this? If so, would you be willing to help us work through the set up? I am not a Mac person and my team member is having some struggles with it. Thank you. Greg
