iFamily Support Forums

I have moved this topic to teh enhancements and will investigate shortly. (although it sounds more like a small bug).

Mountain Lion Compatibility. ●Added OSX 10.8 to the list of allowed Operating Systems. ●Replaced the unknown OSX version crash with a dialog suggesting to update. ●Developer certificate has not yet been added. A control click on the installer and selecting "open" will circumvent Gatekeeper. Registr...

Hi Mike,

Thats not the usual or deisrable behaviour for Gedcom Export. Which OSX do you have installed?

Email me your FtkSql database from your iFamilyData folder and I will try it in debug mode at my end to identify the problem.

Warwick.

Hi Charles, Sorry for the lack of reply, I was waiting to see if any others may have the same problem. I am hands off as far as I can be on the forums. Email me the Gedcom and I will have a look at it's structure to determine if the problem lies with the export or the import part of the process. If ...

5. link the iWeb home page to the pageset (i lost it here, how is the linkage made?) It may be a little late, but i noticed you logged in today so here is a how to by example. Assuming the homepage you produced with iWeb is the last one you upload, be sure to include a link to the iFamily pages you...

Here it is, max font point size is 16:



Also try changing the width after the font size to make the diagram look nicer.

Mountain Lion is the Problem, V2.532 is not aware of the new operating system.

You will not require any login information as such, the Demo and Live versions of iFamily are essentially different programs.

Hi, iFamily will store generated Gedcom files by default in your iFamilyData folder as shown below: http://www.ifamilyforleopard.com/images/iFamilyDataFolder_Gedcom.jpg Use Macs' Finder application (skin to explorer on windows), to locate the GED file for attaching to your email. Drag and drop is pr...

Putting the files in the documents folder is the Apple way to do things, the user home directory is the wrong place. Placing it there will also make it easier to sync with iCloud. I envisage iCould on Lion and above to be an option, not a necessity and am working towards that end. You'd be surprised...

There is not an option to provide this currently. I would forsee two problems: 1. If the view is an Ancestral view, the descendants chart would be quite linear. 2. If the view is not Ancestral, it is not assured that there would be a continuous dynasty through the descendant generations. It may end ...

Minor Release - Repaired Three bugs introduced into the Ancestors Diagram by the internationalization in Version 2.531. These include: Correction of the short version of Birth Marriage and Death (from c,n,e to b,m,d) Correction of the syntax when displaying multiple spouses Correction of the marriag...

Thank you for pointing that out so quickly, it is now also fixed. The version number remains the same.

Use this link in the members section to redownload the update directly and install once again.

Fixed in Version 2.532.

I am now back, and it is now fixed. (They were separate bugs, but both related to typos in my hurried pre travel translation. Sorry about that.) You can now download the new version (V2.532) from the iFamily menu option, or just wait for the next version if you do not use the Ancestor Diagrams too o...

Once you have ftp`d all the files in the generated pageset, you will only need to create a home page which points/links to the index.html file in the root directory. From index.html all the ifamily generated pages are internally referenced, (they use the ../../.. notation to move back up to the head...

Command + Z (UNDO) will work - The cached undo list will last until you close your database and will undo most operations. (Let us know if you find one it doesn`t)

(Command + Shift + Z is REDO)

Hi Holli, A not search is currently not included in iFamily. An option in the meantime may be to export your search results as a csv, order them by the surname column, then delete the rows containing SMITH. You can then go back to the INDEX and change the focus to the relevant PersonID. Regards, War...

Hi Sam, Please feel free to email your Gedcom file to support@ifamilyforleopard.com and we will endeavour to fix the comments issue, it had been working in earlier versions but ancestry.com may have changed their format slightly. With regards to the picture links, import of images into iFamily is do...

Hi Jeffrey, You will be able to drag the audio file into the pictures panel and a copy will be saved the the iFamilyData/Pictures directory. Documents such as rtf, doc and pdf can also be dragged and dropped into the pictures panel. We will look at some improvements for multimedia applications in fu...

Oops, I remember doing this in testing, sorry. If this is a problem, edit the localizations.strings file directly. 1. right click on the application and choose ´show package contents´ 2. find and edit the Locaization.strings text file for the BirthShort MarriageShort and DeathShort keys. Otherwise...

Hi All, I am headed off on Long Service Leave for two months. I leave you in the capable hands of my webmaster Andrew Jennings should you have need of a reinstall or if any other issues arise that require assistance. He is not a Mac man, but he did build this website and I have every confidence that...

NTJ, I have managed to get a mock up of sorts running for linking multiple people to a single event, so reducing the duplication of comments. Unfortunately it requires a model change to enable the multiple relationships which will not be possible without a great deal further work. Once I start down ...

An alternative is to put in the distant relative as a disconnected person or even an associated person with the appropriate Comment to help find him (or her) as your research takes off. I would recommend this latter strategy rather than entering many unknown generations. To reiterate: 1. From the M...
