Hi Pierre,
Thanks for the generous offer. As you know, I was a huge Ecco fan, and if I could bring it back to life easily, I probably would have, although I have been away from it now for a few years and have probably changed my work habits to suit the current environment at work and on the web. I really need to sit down when I am not under an overly heavy load to see if I can find some of that old Ecco love in IQ. I have probably had a new machine or two since I last tried the portable version of IQ at work, and again, could test it out when I am not backlogged. They are, however, quite particular about any software as we are tied into the city's network and security is a big issue for municipalities. For example, even though we are a MS shop, there are MS products that we are not allowed to use, like MS Teams. So, one starts to adopt the mindset of if all you have is a hammer, then everything starts to look like nails. That is one reason that web-based and portable applications have great appeal to me. Are there any good tutorial or introductory videos for IQ that I could watch during my bus commute?

Hi Ken,
Have you considered InfoQube for this task ? It includes a 1-pane /
2-pane outliner. The first pane supports rich text. The second pane
also, but also many other formats, including markdown, hand writing, web
pages, pdf, etc
It can export a whole outline to HTML / Word.
If set-up on a LAN, it is multi-user ready
There are other available UIs to show your items / outline, such as the
Gantt, Timeline, MapView, 2-D Surface and a Calendar (Google Calendar
sync is the current dev focus), but you may not require these, from what
your needs seem to be.
I know you had issues running IQ at work a couple of years ago, even the
portable version, which is quite unusual, is it still the case ? I can
help if you want.
BTW, Free personal license to the friendly crowd here at
outlinersoftware !
