ENGLISH / Bug?

« on: September 28, 2023, 18:09:18 »

Looking at a family in the Aries editor, left or right-clicking on a father's or mother's default image does nothing. Right clicking on the default image in individual view brings up a window showing an image with a broken link, left-clicking brings up the image for editing as expected.

This is on Linux, latest build.

ENGLISH / [Solved] Template for publish to website?

« on: September 27, 2023, 14:16:44 »

Is there a template somewhere to allow customisation of the website front page eg the 'welcome text'? I seem to recall this was once grouped with other reports and maybe had some options available...

ENGLISH / Aries editor suggestions

« on: September 27, 2023, 08:16:52 »

Hi

I have a few suggestions for improving the layout of the Aries editor, nothing radical just small adjustments to improve its appearance. Some of these date back to the time of GenJ so I'm not sure if that editor is still being actively developed. Is it worth posting a screenshot here along with details?

ENGLISH / Tooltip typo

I think this tooltip in the Aries editor should read 'Edit the selected note' (not 'node').

ENGLISH / OBJE Web Files question

« on: April 12, 2020, 08:49:16 »

Good morning, I hope everyone is well.

Is this update designed simply to fetch image/pdf files from a url and display them? Personally I have no need for this but I would like to know if it's likely to have any impact on displaying local files? It would be  inconvenient if they don't display properly so I'd probably hold off upgrading until any bugs are ironed out.

Best wishes,

Paul

ENGLISH / Dialog Display Issue

« on: December 18, 2019, 13:04:24 »

When dragging any dialog around within ancestris (eg Preferences, Configure Display, Notes etc), it judders very badly. I haven't noticed this before so I wonder if it's a recent update or maybe an update to OpenJDK that's causing it (although It's not a system wide issue, it's confined to Ancestris)?

Cheers

ENGLISH / New memory allocation feature

« on: November 14, 2019, 19:13:03 »

Thanks for the update with memory allocation - https://forum.ancestris.org/index.php?topic=2514.msg5337#msg5337 - very useful, but why does it appear as nn'Go' when the 'standard' abbreviation for gigabytes is GB? Not a big deal, I'm just interested!

ENGLISH / About box suggestion

« on: November 13, 2019, 13:43:15 »

How about putting the version and OS info into a text box (I'm guessing they are captions/labels at the minute?) so it can be copied/pasted when raising issues here on the forum? Not sure but it may be possible to copy from a read-only text box.

EDIT: forgot to say, it can't be copied from the dialog when clicking the 'versions' button either.

ENGLISH / Place confusion

« on: October 18, 2019, 14:44:54 »

In the places list I have a place name that appears to be duplicated, with records referencing each one. But there is only one such place in the drop-down selector when allocating a place to an event. How can I merge the two together?

Also a new empty place seems to have been created. I'm guessing this is because I've added or edited an event where the place isn't known. Is this the case and should it happen?

Cheers

ENGLISH / All in one chart error

« on: October 17, 2019, 13:07:32 »

I seem to get this null pointer exception (see below) when running the 'all in one' chart for any individual. The other (postscript) charts work fine it's just this one. As far as I'm aware there are no issues creating SVG files on my system as I use Inkscape to do that regularly. Is the report broken or does the problem lie elsewhere?

Also, I notice that the output is restricted to .svg rather than .pdf or .png as the report description says (personally I don't care which format is used but svg is probably favourite  )

ENGLISH / Aries Editor, link to existing source - Bug?

« on: October 16, 2019, 13:21:53 »

I go to add an existing source to an event. When the 'Link to an existing source' dialog is displayed I sort by 'Source Description'. A source with no description is shown in the list and it has the highest source number, in my case @S129@. I've checked the raw gedcom externally and there is no such source. Is it maybe an 'off by one' loop error when building the list?

ENGLISH / Aries Editor Clone - Bug?

« on: October 14, 2019, 09:51:07 »

If I try to clone an Aries editor window via right-click I end up with a new view which displays only the person's name etc in the header. It reacts to changes in other views but continues to show no other data.

Personally I wouldn't want to use two editors, I just thought I'd point out the issue. I notice that dynamic tree and entities table can't be cloned.

Since new windows can be opened via double-clicks in 'Spouses&Children' anyway is there any point in having a clone option anywhere in the program? (Maybe it's useful somewhere that I haven't explored yet! )

ENGLISH / PDF bug?

« on: October 12, 2019, 19:37:20 »

Most PDFs in my family tree work as expected - they display a 'missing image' icon (camera in a red circle with line across) when previewed but open correctly in the default viewer. However one particular file gives me the error 'Format not supported. Please choose another fie' whenever I open the Gallery tab of the individual concerned, I don't even have to try opening the .pdf.

It's not the only multi-page .pdf in my tree, but it may be the only one where the page format is set to A4 landscape. The other PDFs I've looked at so far seem fine and the problem one opens externally with no issues.

EDIT: I have the same issue with another multi-page PDF (also in landscape format)


Any suggestions please?

ENGLISH / Editor wishlist

« on: October 07, 2019, 21:23:25 »

Most of my INDIs have notes attached, mostly summaries of what I know about them in a narrative form. As such it would be really useful to have a spell-checker but, much more importantly, an 'undo' facility when editing notes. I realise I could compose notes elsewhere with spell checking and undo then cut and paste but it's much more convenient to do that in Ancestris.

Just putting it out there!
