Mike,

Good news, the plugin does in fact report upon the very long note. It then allowed me to acknoweldge the report of the long note and continued to completion of the export.

Thank you for your persistance in this issue and providing a fix.

That is correct Mike. It is one great big single line of text with no newline characters.

Hi Mike,

Here you go. As I said, superflous and extraneous which is why it is now deleted from my main project file.

Still cleaning my FH project after switching 3+ years ago

Mike, I restored my Project backup from before I reported the issue and ran the new Export Gedcom plugin you provided. Unfortunately I experienced exactly the same issue on the same record as I reported. When I removed the excessive note, then Export Gedcom worked successfully as expected. Sorry tha...

Hi Mike, Thanks for the tips and for supplying Export Gedcom 5.1 plugin. I tried the 5.1 plugin and had exactly the same result. Reviewing the record reported when FH hung and the next record found the issue. The following record had an excessively large and superflous note which I removed. Once rem...

Hi all, I have encountered an issue when trying to export my gedcom for updating my TNG website. The last time I successfully did this was 31/12/2022 (New Years Eve). Since then I have been updating records, merging duplicates, cleaning places, added some media and just general data entry. The only ...

Thanks Jane, I will give that a go.

Thanks Mike for the pointer to the Surname Summary query and utilising Named Lists. I was thinking of walking the tree and disconnecting branches (spouse parents etc) that I did not need for the surname tree. However this will not work in the cases of small branches/trees that are disconnected from ...

Hi, I am conducting a one-name study and have had a gedcom sent to me by another researcher containing their genealogy. Within the gedcom, there is their direct line as well as some small trees of with people who share the surname. I am looking to split the gedcom via split tree helper to only inclu...

Mike,

Using your new ExportGedcom release candidate, I have successfully exported a gedcom from FH for TNG.

There were no errors, memory management worked well. Thanks for all your help on this.

Andrew

Thank you Mike for all your help with this issue.

Kind regards,

Hi Mike, After further investigations, troubleshooting and trial & error, I have managed to "fix" the "not enough memory" error and successfully run through your new ExportGedcom prototype. I observed that the error was consistently occurring on a specific record, so I edited and then removed the no...

Hi Mike, There are no Research notes within my FH project as yet - they were notes from an FTM gedcom I recently imported and merged. Since first reporting this error, I have utilised the Clean Up Notes plugin to convert these to Local notes. As requested, I have reverted to the v4.4 plugin of Expor...

Hi Mike, Unfortunately the updated ExportGedcom plugin does not fix the issue. I am still experiencing the "out of memory" error. In fact, it now appears a lot earlier in the export process, when exporting the individuals. BTW, like the new features very much. Thanks for your ongoing help assisting ...

Hi Mike, Unfortunately I am again experiencing the "out of memory" error when exporting a gedcom via the Export Gedcom File plugin. This happens when exporting the notes (~93% through the export) Using FH v7.0.3 and the latest version of the Export Gedcom File plugin. Can I turn on any flag to get m...

Thank you Mike

Not that I sit and watch the export as it takes some time, but the export appeared to be faster with the 2nd option you proposed for garbage collection.

Mike,

After reverting the previous changes and moving the collectgarbage("step",0) to the if progbar.Stop() and the end statements as requested, I can confirm the successful export of my gedcom.

Thank you again.

Mike,

I have just updated the TNG website now so I can assist you in further debugging of the Export Gedcom plugin.

Kindly send through instructions and I will make the changes and send you the results. Thanks for all your help with this.

Mike,

Success. By adding the garbage collection line, the gedcom successfully exported.
Now to update my website.

Thanks.
Andrew

Mike,

After commenting out those lines and re-running Export Gedcom plugin unfortunately I experience exactly the same error.

It appears the issue is elsewhere in the updated Export Gedcom plugin. Let me know what to try next and we can hopefully debug this issue.

Thanks.
Andrew

( Below was posted on FH mailing list - moving discussion here for debugging with Mike ) Hi, I am experiencing an issue with producing a gedcom of my FH file via Export Gedcom plugin for export to my TNG website since upgrading to FH v7. The same gedcom successfully exported via Export Gedcom plugin...
