Hi Pierre,
The option actually sounds very interesting, even for a user of ‘regular’ InfoQube, such as myself, who spends most of his/her time in very simple IQ layouts.
I have two questions:
- Assuming that portable installation will also be possible for the Outliner version, is it reasonable to also assume that the two versions could be used alongside one another on the same computer? (Not concurrently necessarily)
- Why would a separate version of the software itself be needed (aside the freemium marketing model); wouldn’t it be possible to achieve the same through a simplified layout template? I expect that maintaining two versions of a programme is more time consuming than maintaining just one plus a series of layout templates.

Yes of course, even concurrently. It is the same engine behind the scene, only the available IUs are different

It is something I’ll be looking into to optimize code re-use / sharing. Having conditional code is sometimes more confusing than separate versions. Plus there is the issue of UI components which would need to be distributed but not actually used.

I am very much looking forward to trying this, especially if it is now finally able to run (using wine) within Linux, to which I have completely converted.

Hi Outliners,
The first version of IQ Outliner is now online !
Some of the dialogs are straight from IQ IM and will be redone in the next version, but otherwise, the simplified IQ is yours and free !
Download it here:

Pierre, this sounds terrific. Can you post a screenshot or two? I’m a Linux user, too, but Wine crufts up my system with stuff. I’d like to take a gander at the UI, though. (I suppose I could do a VM within Linux to try it.)
