I'm trying to create a GEDCOM file from a project using the File > Import/Export > Export > GEDCOM file... dialog. I want the ouput file to not contain any NOTE information. To this end I selected the box Note records under Exclude. This didn't work, I still got all my note records in the output file. These were shown in the GEDCOM file as both 1 NOTE and 2 NOTE.

Is it possible to exclude the NOTE information from the output file using this dialog?

I apologize if this is answered somewhere... I couldn't find anything here on the FHUG website or in the program help.

Thanks,

Bill

Remember Note records are not the same as local notes. The exclude only removes Note Records and not local notes.

It's a fairly easy job to remove them using a plugin once you have exported the file, do you write plugins? If not this one should work for you:

Strip Notes From File

Please double check the result as I just knocked it up quickly this morning.

The Split Tree Helper has an option to Delete all note fields within records.

Jane,

The plugin did get rid of all the 1 NOTE records, but didn't get rid of the 2 NOTE records.

Peter,

The split tree helper did the trick. I forgot all about this as I wasn't really trying to split my tree. It worked great.

Thanks to both of you,

Bill
