I think so too.

Sabine

In the Records Window.

Marking a section of text still works the old way, i.e. SHIFT+CTRL+right or left. That's really strange.

Sabine

Oh. Correction. Jumping from one word to the next now isn't CTRL+right or left, but CTRL+up and down. Funny. OK, it seems I'll have to get used to that?

Sabine

I recently upgraded from V3 to V4, and basically find it pretty interesting, and an improvement of something that already was the best. However, I was rather astonished to find out just now that jumping from one word to the next (for example, in sources, but also in names) does not work any more. It...

... another option would be listing all sources that are referred to in a given list of individuals (named lists), and then maybe limit by the LastUpdated condition. But how do I get the sources referred to in individual records from a named list?

Sabine

I just stumbled across a similar problem ... in a source query, is there a way to get that RecordId for the source?

I tried '=RecordID(%SOUR%)', but that didn't work.

What I want is extracting sources which have numbers between X and Y, for example.

I'm having problems with this one again in v. 3.1: Wanting to list ALL marriages of an individual in this person's section of the Family Group Sheet, I had defined five marriage events (labelled marriage, marriage2, marriage3, etc.) in the Contents/Family Member Main Items section. Which was not a v...

Hi Jane, indeed yes. It wasn't relevant for what I had planned, but yes. If one doesn't want to make the whole system fit for multiple languages, it might help if Calico Pie could devise a short form for the {date} sentence part as they did for the {place} part: Place (with no prefix) Code: {_place}...

Just came across this thread - is there a way to change the narrative sentences in v. 3? The manual says about {date}: 'Date Code: {date}Will insert the date in a text format, with an appropriate prefix. For example, if the date is an exact day, the prefix will be ‘on’ (e.g. on “30th January, 2001”)...

Oh, I did not know that. In that case, this would rather be an item for the Gedcom wish list, if there is any ...

Thanks!

Sabine

Well - some day I should learn to think first and ask then ...

Options, Family Member Main Items, Add, and then get the appropriate expression out of the list.

Sabine

Hi,

I just found out that notes which are attached to names do not print in the Family Group Sheet. Is there a way to make sure those notes are there, too?

TIA

Hi, I would like to have some additional minor detail, some time in the future: the age (e.g. at death) can be given in years, months, and days. But the sources often use weeks, too. So far I've always been converting the weeks to months and days, but I would like to remain nearer to the source orig...

Hi,

a client asked me whether I knew a professional genealogist in England and Ireland. At the moment I do not know the specific areas, but I'd be willing to establish the contact with that client.

After Simon's extensive explanation in the original thread, I tend to cancel this wish list request. Still am not very happy about the results, but I see that there are reasons why the software does it this way and not another.

Sabine

As it seems, the All Relatives Diagram allows the shifting of spouses if they are descendants in that diagram, BUT NOT if they are ancestors, e.g. if an ancestor married twice and had children from both marriages. I had a case in which I would have liked the ancestor's second wife on his right side,...

You're right!

The correct term is:
=LifeDates(%INDI.~SPOU[1]>%)

Thanks so much

Sabine

I would like to include the spouses' life dates into a custom version of the Family Group Sheet. I managed to get the following into the 'Family Member Main Items' section of the Report Options, Contents tab: with %INDI.~SPOU[1]>NAME[1]%, %INDI.FAMS[1]>MARR[1].DATE%, %INDI.FAMS[1]>MARR[1].PLAC% Whic...

I knew I had a way! Sorry for bothering anyone.

It needs to be added in the section 'Family Member Main Items' in the Record Options, Contents tab.

Sabine

I believe I had invented a solution for this problem, but lost the specifications when upgrading to V3. In the children's sections of the Family Group Sheet, we do have information about their spouses (if any). I would, however, also like to have the child's marriage date and place in that section, ...

Jane,

thanks again - I had overlooked that item. Yes, it works with Surname Prefix, and I even found out how to get them into the diagrams as well as into the Family Group Sheet.

I am really fascinated by the possibilities this program offers ...

Sabine

Hi, another question in this context: can I get sort of a 'middlefix'? In Germany and some other countries, we have nobility titles looking like this: John VON Miller. If I prefix the Von, it lands in front of John, if I suffix it, it's behind Miller. In my earlier software, I for some time solved t...

Jane,

thanks again - those data references are hard to understand, but once one has got them, they are extremely powerful. One of the most interesting features in this software.

Sabine

Jane,

great - that's it, tried it just now. I should have checked the Help File first ...

Thanks a lot

Sabine

How can I get the ID of an individual person into a family-type query? I tried:
=RecordId(%INDI.~FATH>%),
but that does not work with family-type queries.
