Starting with version 0.9.24G (latest build), It is now possible to import content from Ultra Recall Pro. The steps are:

1. Export from URp:
1. In the Data Explorer pane, select the items to export, or select “My Data” to export everything
2. File>>Export>>Items to an XML (OML) File.
3. Click Next
4. Click Next (again)
5. Enter an export filename. It is recommended to add the “.OML” extension, as URp does not add it automatically
6. To export sub-items, check “Export child items (recursive)
7. Click Finish
2. Import into IQ:
1. File>>Import>>OPML/OML File
2. Browse to select the URp export file
3. Select Import options:
1. You can put imported items in a specific grid
2. You can also assign specific yes/no fields to the imported items
3. In both cases, these can be done for Top Level Items (TLI) or for all imported items
4. Click Import
5. If you selected to put the items in a specific grid, this grid will open upon completing the import process and will refresh with the newly imported items:

The URp item hierarchy is maintained and all RTF content has been converted to HTML.
Limitations:

* The URp export process requires that each item have a distinct item name. Otherwise, all items with the same name will have the RTF content of the last duplicate
* Bullets are converted to symbol, not to an HTML bulleted list
* Only the embedded RTF content is imported. Item notes and attributes are not imported.
* images are not imported (currently, but this will be fixed)
* If an item has more than 1 parent (logical linking in URp terminology), the item will be imported for each parent, so multiple copies will be created. This will be fixed.
