Pierre has made a post in the InfoQube (SQLNotes) forum Demystifying InfoQubeIMHO, it is an incredibly simple program. The concept can be summarized as follows:
. . . all we need now is a few beginners to test/see if he has made it all perfectly simple  |

Is it possible to import text files from folders-subfolders and use them as items in InfoQube? I do not want to manually create stuff. I want to import some 800 plain text files into IQ as content.

Hi Kartal, It would probably be best to post that question in the IQ forum. However, all I can say is that it's not part of IQ's philosophy to import whole documents into it but, rather, link them to the database. But... it would probably be trivial for Pierre to add this option to IQ -- just ask Pierre. |

Yes it would be quite easy.
Which brings another issue. IQ HTML pane does not support editing of plain text files (there is a source code editor for the html). Plain text files will get converted to HTML. Is there a need for a plain text editor?
Of which there is 2 types:
1- notepad type (enhanced of course)
2- source code editor (like the one already included in the VBScript editor) (line numbers, no wrap, syntax highlighting, expand/collapse sections ,etc)
and yes, this discussion may continue on the IQ community web site...

Linking would not do any good to me because I probably wont be able to search them. I woulld prefer that IQ would import them then create the topics based on file names. |

Ah, but linked content is also indexed in IQ, so you could search your text content in IQ even though it is saved on disk. So embedded or linked, no difference. It is your choice. As a bonus, if it is linked, desktop search engines will find it too. |

I've already created a mantis suggestion for it a while ago. Yes, the item field should be the filename, and the contents of the text file should go in the html pane. Either that, or the user should be able to specify how each gets mapped. |

Yes, this is an extension to the new drag-drop UI that is definitely planned. So the dropped files could go in either
1- Fileref fields
2- URL field
3- in HTML pane
(in fact, it is already in the UI, but disabled as I did not get to code it)

I wasn't aware of that. I know it's true of MHT files which are linked to the HTML pane. But is it true of any other link (using the "File link" dialog) ? |

No, not the file link UI which does not (yet) have the HTML pane option (actually it is there but disabled).
But rather, if you do in the HTML pane: Menu>>File>>Open, select a text file and click save. Content will be indexed in the DB and searchable. You can still transparently edit the file in IQ (which will save it on disk automatically).

Suggestion for HTML pane:
I need a way to quickly apply styles of my choosing to the things I'm putting in the HTML pane. It's too much work right now to change the fonts, sizes, bold, etc. I need buttons or something where I can save preset styles once I've configured them.
Also, can we have a toolbar to control things like font size, font type, etc. like a normal writing application? I find it difficult to think of it in terms of html code. Like font sizes numbered 1-7 is weird for me, why can't we have normal font sizes like 10,12,14,etc...? I know we can convert these to Word documents and other formats, but that's more inconvenient that directly typing in the editor. It's easier if the html pane was more like a traditional writing application than an html editor. Now, if we're going to use the html environment, it would be necessary to tweak to interface to behave like a traditional writing application. Again, that means toolbars, buttons like MS Word. I know that some of the basics are there like bold, italic buttons and outliner buttons, but the other ones for the rest of the style settings would be convenient also. Especially some kind of drop-down box for choosing user-defined custom styles.
