Export GEDCOM

jeemo · Post by **jeemo** » 19 Mar 2011 21:35

I've recently started using export GEDCOM to produce a GEDCOM which excludes all double square brackets usage. I find that in the resulting file there are no Repositories produced. The same is happening on the file of a friend who also uses FH. I am definitely not ticking the Exclude Repositories box. Can somebody explain how to get the Repositories carried forward into the new file?

Please see the forum entry Exported GEDCOM file Excludes more than expected that explains all:

So do NOT tick Exclude all records which are not linked to the selected Individual records.

Please add your own comments to the above entry, which I believe identifies a bug.

Thanks TW that has done the trick. I agree that this could be a bug but I'm not sure why this is provided as an option. I don't know why you would want to do that although there would be a reason. Certainly as things stand now, the default should be not to have it ticked.

Note that by leaving Exclude all records which are not linked to the selected Individual records NOT ticked, even records with no links are retained.

It is my belief that this option should be Exclude all records left with no links to them.
Then only records linked directly or indirectly to the selected Individual Records would be retained.
All records left with no links would be excluded.
This is similar to the Split Tree Helper.
