Hi, Running a quick check shows that when a file is opened the Finder entry shows a change to the 'Modified' date and time but not the 'Last Opened' one. This gets changed when you quit from iFamily. Would have thought this was controlled by the system rather than the app but it should b...

Hi,

There is an EVENT type of DESC for Description.

I guess that could be used to describe the person in a number of ways - you can add such an EVENT for each time new information is recorded and add a SOURCE citation and note.

Regards,

Hi Cazzy, The main diagram above the info panel at the bottom of the screen is generated from the data in the database.

Hi Cazzy, Not 100% sure what you are hoping to achieve in this scrolling. If you want to see the members of a single family line from the oldest ancestor then the Descendent diagram will show you all the members for as many generations as you set in the top part of the window of the report/diagram. ...
