iFamily Support Forums

Apologies for being off the air for half of today, the fault lies with our webhost and a certain expired credit card for domain registration renewal. All is back to normal now.

I'm not sure if emails made it through during our outage, if you are awaiting and missing a response please try again.

Thanks for the query. No progress to report at this time, our top priority remains focussed on getting the desktop version in the Desktop App store first. (Early next year hopefully). Supporting two products would detract from the current overall level of service we can provide. There is talk in the...

Theres a new version in October, I'll have a look at your request this week and report back.

Hi Frank, Have a read of the following missing manual thread on sources and let me know if it helps. http://ifamilyforleopard.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=674 The third post down about activating a source may do what you need, by Activating a source it will be added automatically with each new event. ...

Go to Preferences (either through the Menu option or the light switch on the toolbar). You will see that the drop down box at the top has Title/Occupation in it, change this to any one of the other 14 options. You can also use the scroll key on your mouse to change the option in this list when hover...

For certain event types, you can right click on the event and select "Clone Event", then change the focus to the target person and right click on their events table and paste it there (with clone). I am going to expand the number of types of events that can be cloned in our next release, please let ...

I would welcome all Victorian customers to come and see me at the Unlock the Past Victorian Expo in Geelong on September 1st and 2nd. Entry is free if you register beforehand or $5 on the day, provisionally I am on table 39 in the exhibitors hall, next to VicGum and opposite the societies tables. ht...

It has been brought to my attention that the Lion panels such as the index do not have "draggy stripes" in the bottom left hand corner to resize the window. Clicking there and dragging works all the same, I will investigate further.

bit of a panic here I am running 2.526 I installed on 24th July read here that the previous version i son for Lion I have just installed Lion and it says power PC applications no longer supported ??? regards lesley This problem appears to be confined to leslies Mac and I have been working through s...

You will still need to import each Gedcom into a new database each time, iFamily cannot merge a text file, it requires the Apple database objects to function. You can merge branches without the need to compare all people. 1. Have your Target database open as the same time as your new import. 2. sele...

Ian, It sounds to me like you are still running V2.522. Check the bottom left corner of the main program window to see the version number. Here's a generic response with an old picture from Snow Leopard ..... You can also check in finder to view the installed version number as shown below: http://if...

Hi Jim,

The screenshot you speak of is linked here. Please use the link in our members section to download our latest update, V2.526 was released on 7th July and is OSX Lion friendly.

Thanks,
Warwick.

Are you sure it is 2.526 you are using? I have had no other reports of any crashes with this version. It is possible to install 2 different versions of iFamily in two different locations by mistake. Please ensure you are running the iFamily Application from your /Applications/ folder. If problems pe...

Repaired in V2.526 Onwards, iFamily will again Load a Gedcom when no database is open.

Released in V2.526 onwards.

Please upgrade to V2.526 if you are installing OSX Lion. It will: patch the toolbar bug reported above, include Associated People on the "Disconnect Person.." Dialog, fix the bug preventing Gedcom Import when no database is open. Repair an intermittent bug in the installation package. fixed bug prev...

Yes. 2.522 will run on Lion:

There will be a new release shortly.

That wasn't already a given? Umm.. Which competitor? (i may delete the reply, I have had the google indexing on this forum turned off for awhile).

I'm still occasionally not completely literate when it comes to the ins and outs of the Gedcom Specification, most of my time is spent battling apples' syntax. Apparently neither iFamily nor TNG are at fault here. [quote="Darrin"]As for this problem, the issue is that TNG is apparently not supportin...

..only runs on IntelCore2Duo.. Clarification "Core2Duo or later" .. ie: not for the older tiger machines but anything from the past 3 years should be ok. The root of this requirement is that Lion is natively a 64 bit platform and will not run on 32 bit processors. I will need to recode iFamilys mob...

Good, this problem has been resolved, but I am still trying to nut out why it was occurring in the first place. None of the documentation or developers forums seem to allude to it.

I will release the new version shortly.

Hi All, Just a straw poll to see who will be upgrading to Lion when it is released. Testing iFamily on the Lion platform has shown that the toolbar has some eccentiricties. After insitialization, iFamily modifies the Active Source element of the toolbar which seems to be resulting in Lion drawing th...

Command Z will undo a deleted association. I will need to add associated people to the "Disconnect Person.." Option on the right click menu, and may add a diagram option to not show the assoc people. Thanks for pointing this out.

Hi Melissa, I haven't tried, but I was told there is a program for an iPhone which can transfer across a set of files to that device, I assume the iPad is similar. For the iPhone the program was called Air Share. (from memory). Using the menu function Web->Generate HTML... will produce a set of webp...

It looks like if the Event Name has not been altered, it will not appear in the list, I will investigate further, but I may not have an answer tonight.

Are all your Probates still called "Probate"?

Hi, Firstly you will want to reinstall iFamily under your own account. (please email support@ifamilyforleopard.com if you cannot find the original DMG file to install from and require a new link to download.) Secondly you will want to copy your data across. All iFamily data is stored in the ~/iFamil...

You can change the displayed text on the diagram by selecting from the drop down box on the iFamily preferences panel. Please see the following topic: http://ifamilyforleopard.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1558 You can also scroll through these options by placing your mouse over any person on the diagr...

Melissas problems has been resolved in the short term. I will place a guide for file managment and Merging databases up on our website in the near future.

I am also wondering how I can connect that same associated person with a second or third "regular relative" Right click on a different person, (when focal), and choose "Add existing person as Associated Person". I'll investigate a drag and drop linker when I have time. However, I don't see that I l...

"\n"'s should be able to be escaped when i print the csv. While excel does not like multiline cells at all, i am happy to find numbers will accept them.
