SQLNotes...what is it exactly?
PPLandry:
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.

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.

I second this. 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) ?
PPLandry:
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).
