Link multiple individuals to an event
Link multiple individuals to an event
I'm new to this forum and to iFamily and would like to add one enhancement request, from an old comment in the general discussion list:
It would be extremely useful to be able to enter (and later update) some data relevant to several people in one place but yet show up for each person in his/her respective source notes (once properly connected, of course).

Let's hope the big cheese is reading these and is already preparing the next release...
iFamily has a very easy and pleasant interface and looks great in my new mac. I usually open it up and use it for reference when searching online or exchanging information with other people. However, when I have to update something (usually in these events linked to multiple people), I have to fire up my old laptop (OS 9.2), update the information in the old software (Gene 4.3.4) and export the result in gedcom using an external drive...
I'm really looking forward to using the other cool stuff in iFamily like photos, etc. but for the moment, it's no use as any minor update means throwing out the previous iFamily file.

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 that road I will also need to normalize the comments and notes from all the tables at the same time, so the job becomes quite large.
This remains on my list for the timebeing, I will attend to it when I return from leave in February. In the meantime I leave you all with a new release, (V2.531), as a sign of good faith.
Thanks,
Warwick.

Hi NTJ, many thanks for the reminder. (This job is up there with Myriam's need to manually enter latlong coordinates. Both ideas worthy of implementation.). Sorry for the lengthy delays.

Thanks again for the reminder NTJ It is great to see you are still getting good use from iFamily, despite this lacking feature upgrade. I will strive to do what I can to make it a reality come the October update.NTJ wrote:Hi Warwick, it's that time of the year!! Here's the friendly reminder again (sorry I missed it in 2015...).
