I will look into this. I&#39d prefer to fix the google maps problem rather than create a manual entry option.

Any hope of an upgrade in 2010?

Highly likely.

Hi Frances,

These posts on merging and comparing databases may be of help:

How do I merge data from one database into another

How do I compare two Gedcom files using iFamily?

Feel free to email me should you have any further queries on merging.

Thanks Nigel,

the problem here is that even though FTM has been selected in the gedcom export rather than FTW, Liz&#39s gedcom is still using the full length tags such as "ADDRESS" instead of "ADDR". If any users of Family Tree Maker are familiar with this problem please let us know.

Hi Bee, Thank you for your post. When you drag an image or document into iFamily, a full size copy of each is created in the /iFamilyData/Pictures/ folder by default. iFamily pictures and documents are also stored as small thumbnail files within the iFamily database itself but should not overly impa...

Snow Leopard is ok. I&#39ll pick up the tiger machine from Dads place this weekend. I was going to have to get it next weekend when I move house anyway.

I am still committed to ensuring iffl works well on all 3 platforms.

The Associated person is broken only insofar as it is not writing and reading to and from the Gedcom Import and exports. This is on my list for the next release. The close button appears to proceed to adding whichever person is highlighted, it would be useful to also have a cancel button on this dia...

Hi Paul, There is no built in flagging in iFamily to enable exclusion of tree branches when generating reports and Gedcoms. The easiest way to achieve what you want to do here is to make a copy of your database, delete the people that you wish to exclude, then export your Gedcom from that copy. To c...

I&#39ll hopefully get it done this weekend. Otherwise I have scheduled 2 weeks leave from work at the end of this month, (starts on the 22nd), to concentrate on a few aspects of iFamily.

Apologies again for the delays.

Hi,

There&#39s a walkthrough of sources and how to use them in the missing manual section of this forum:

Hope this helps.

I have fixed this problem but am yet to release it. The problem occurs in the post load database integrity check, you will find that your files have loaded sucessfully into your iFamily data folder once you force quit and reopen iFamily (no harm, just inconvenience). I have had to transfer the works...

Hi Charlie, iFamily stores the geocoded coordinates to six decimals so I should be able to get you an accuracy down to 10meters or so, including the span information. Here is a typical geocoded string from iFamily: maps.google.com/maphp?hl=en&q=Darwin,+NT&ie=UTF8& ll=-12.454596,130.833714 &spn=0.001...

I have found the root cause of this problem and will be releasing a new update later this week.

My testing shows that this &#39find unconnected people&#39 issue is only a problem on Snow Leopard, the functionality continues to operate ok on Tiger and Leopard.

It does appear unconnected people is causing a problem, it is probably the same module being called in both the Data Inconsistency Report and the Gedcom Load and hopefully an easy fix. The new "Associated People" are not yet exported or imported from the Gedcoms. They do appear as unconnected (when ...

If you have a 3 button mouse use right click, if not hold down control and click on the object. It&#39s worth trying this on most elements of the interface.

All versions of iFamily on this website have now been updated to V2.511 and 8% of customers have registered it already. :) Thanks for your quick takeup. I have taken the liberty of shortening this thread a bit, thank you for your comments about iFamily but I thought I should remove some of the revie...

Hi John,

Seems to work for me, takes about 15-20 seconds to resolve 1500 people. Prints to textedit ok.

Can you send me your FtkSql file and I&#39ll investigate if it&#39s something particular to your database.

Thanks, Warwick.

I am working on finding out the source of this problem now. It is unexpected.

With now 2 reports of this occuring I would advise if you vitally require access to your family data this week then not to install snow leopard until I post here again.

What kind of size pdf do the 25&#39 wide charts result in? (Megabytes?)

I have had this reported by some other cutomers also and have not yet figured out why it happens, is your windows PC using the latest version of Acrobat? I think it is the compatibility between pdf viewer versions where this problem lies.

Just to reinforce what alid has said. It sounds like you want to start from the top, then work your way down through your descendants report until you reach the already completed part of your tree. So your first step will be: 1) to use the menu's to choose People -> Add unconnected Person... to e...

Hi massmaniac,

I have sent you an email requesting your Gedcom, I have not encountered this problem before and would like to investigate further.

Thanks,
Warwick.

Sources in iFamily can be used to reference people and/or events. Before any source can be used in iFamily it must be added to the sources list in your database. The Sources Menu in iFamily contains four options as shown below: http://ifamilyforleopard.com/images/SourcesMenu.jpg Add/Edit... Activate...
