Re: macOS Mojave

Hi Warwick, At least it is running under Mojave. How does it look if you select the Classic set of colours rather than the default? My preference would be to have settings for both modes but if that is too complex to complete quickly I would rather have the other issues reworked as previously planne...

This is set under the "A/PV" icon on the main frame bar at the top of the window (Next to the Focal Person box). You then set the person as the 'Current ACTIVE VIEW' and then you should see th...

Re: "Wife of" addition ever solved?

Hi Sali, If you have hundreds of ‘Wife of’ then I would suggest that the .ged file would be easier to edit. Unless Warwick can offer a better option.

Re: 64 bit compatibility

Hi

I have just installed the first public beta of High Sierrra and the bad news is that iFamilyForMac does not launch.

The good news is that Warwick will have it fixed before the public release.

So don't install the public beta on your main or only machine.

Re: 64 bit compatibility

Don't panic!

You are mistaken as High Sierra is stated as being the last version to support 32 bit apps.

So there is still time for an update or two before the release of the 64 bit only macOS :D

Re: macOS Sierra 10.12 - incompatible with iFamily!

Hi,

Version 2.9.4 is still the latest version and works reasonably with macOS Sierra.

Not perfect but it runs and is pretty useable.

The Members forum has a thread on that version and details some of the issue.

Warwick is working on a release but it is taking a while.
