Do not overwrite reports
Some reports written to the Reports folder receive appended numbers, so that no information is lost. Others do not, but are overwritten. I suggest that it would be a good idea to append the number on all reports. An example is MergePersonFromOtherModel.txt, which overwrites - thus one has no record ...

Do not start "Prune Minor Dynasties ..."
Please, do not let "Prune Minor Dynasties ..." do anything UNTIL the user agrees! Let this menu item reveal the dynasties, so the user can choose to connect people, or whatever, without having unidentified people summarily removed. "Dynasty 12 was removed", who on earth was in it? Also, the Reports/...

date of last change
Hello Nigel - Well while that is built into the program, opening a file causes the filedate to change. What I needed was a way to see the last change date for the file without modifying the file. Indeed, seen in MesaSQLite, there is a ZLASTCHANGE timestamp parameter associated with each entry. It is...

How to explore file content
Nigel - thanks for the thoughts.

maybe a preliminary mode ...
Nigel - Yes, for some apps only, the Finder tentatively changes the modified date, but reverts it if a file is closed with no action - tested with Excel. Preview.app and Tex-Edit Plus.app do not make the tentative change. alid - I have thought of this approach, too late, I already have a big sprinkl...

Do not change file datestamp unless content changed
I find myself in somewhat of a mess with various copies of iFamily files here and there, because the program changes the date even when all I do is READ a file. Would it be possible to change it so as to not change the file datestamp unless content is actually changed?

Thank you
For compactness, might be nice if it could just be years (with < for before, > for after)

BEF and AFT dates
When dates are unknown, for example father born BEF son's birth date, the father's birth appears on the diagram as being the same as the son's birth. Is there any way to have the BEF or "<" appear on the diagram?
Thanks for a lovely program!
