Cope better when Gedcom Census updates GEDCOM file
Posted: 30 Jan 2009 08:35
When Gedcom Census posts an amended GEDCOM file as a result of 'Save', FH correctly notices and asks you if you wish to reload the new data, however when it is reloaded, your current view is blanked and you lose context.
I find this irksome to say the least, as I usually have the two side by side on my screen for reference.
In contrast, Gedcom Census copes well if FH changes the GEDCOM file. It notices the change, loads the new file, but keeps the current context so you can continue to work.
This issue would be even more of a problem in any situation where more than one person is working on a single GEDCOM at the same time (a study group for example).
Perhaps the most obvious fix would be for Calico to buy the rights to GC and incorporate the functionality into FH [eek]
