ENGLISH / Adresses, RESI tags

« on: October 06, 2019, 16:46:43 »

I have many individuals with multiple addresses but they don't seem to show up anywhere (in either editor). In the raw *.ged they appear as, for example:

Code: [Select]

1 RESI
2 DATE 1900
2 PLAC Oswestry, Shropshire, England
2 ADDR 67 Beatrice Street
2 SOUR @S33@
1 RESI
2 DATE 1901
2 PLAC Oswestry, Shropshire, England
2 ADDR 7 Stewart Road
2 SOUR @S15@
3 PAGE PAGE RG13 / 2545
and that info is visible in the Gedcom editor so it's being imported properly.

Is there no support for showing/editing/adding addresses in the Aries or Cygnus editors or am I missing something?

OK, got it.
It's something related to Java 11.

I will try to fix it.

Great, thanks!

ENGLISH / Gedcom Problem

« on: October 04, 2019, 14:31:43 »

I have over 1,000 multimedia records which are not Gedcom 5.5.1 compliant in that the TITL and FORM tags are not subordinate to the FILE tag (see attached). These have been created by various programs over the last 20 years. As a result the titles, which essential for some images, do not display in Ancestris.




Even if I wanted to hand edit these (and I don't!), there doesn't seem to be a away to drag and drop the tags into the correct place so it would involve creation of new tags in correct position and copy/pasting information.

Is there any fix for this? If there's no other solution I can probably come up with a script to do the job.

Thanks,

Paul

Good news, I've resolved this issue completely!

There's a system wide setting for anti-aliasing fonts in Java apps on Linux. In the file /etc/environment add the line:

_JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on'

Other values for laptops and LCD displays are possible, refer to this page:

ENGLISH / View Images in Aries Editor's Gallery

« on: October 04, 2019, 10:33:33 »

Is there some way to view images at their full size (and preferably be able to zoom in/out) from the Aries editor's gallery tab? Even opening an image in the default external editor would be ok but as it stands only a small standard sized image is displayed (and it doesn't resize when maximizing the 'Edit Multimedia' dialog). It's a problem when trying to view large detailed images such as a census page.

TIA

Paul

EDIT I didn't spot the tooltip that says you can right click after opening the edit dialog to view it externally! Couldn't this be a right-click option directly from the gallery list rather than having to choose 'edit' first?

Ancestor List
Ancestor or Descendants Narrative
Close Relatives
Descendant List
...

any that involve outputting to PDF. I guess something is missing to format pdf correctly on my system?

Nimbus causes icons in each tab heading/title/caption whatever it's called to be squeezed up against the text. It also makes the 'spreadsheet lines' in the entity table and elsewhere disappear completely.

'Motif' gets rid of the fuzziness problem but the colours are not great and all the text is jagged, not anti-aliased.

Doesn't  "Tools => Preferences" tab "Miscellaneous" just affect the output window (that's what it says)?

Cheers,

Paul

Actually the problem isn't throughout Ancestris, only in some places. The data in the entity list isn't affected but the column titles are (see attached). Text in the dynamic tree isn't affected but all text (data and UI) in Aries editor is. Hope that helps?

Unfortunately I have another font issue - they have a fuzzy purple pixelated appearance (see attached). I don't get this anywhere else on my PC so I imagine it is a 'font smoothing' or similar option that needs setting for Java. Any suggestions please?

Reports that output text directly, .svg or .ps seem to work ok.

Those that output a .pdf create a zero byte sized file with a '*** Formatting Ancestors of ... failed' error.

I imagine this is related to my system (Linux Mint 19.1 64bit XFCE), any suggestions please?

It's openjdk 11.0.4 2019-07-16.

It doesn't seem to cause any problems but I thought you might like to know about it.

So the commas are important in the display of editors.

When entering the information yes but surely not when displaying it (in any field)? You wouldn't write " , , , London" if you didn't know someone's address, you'd write "London". If you knew they lived in Islington you'd write "Islington, London", there wouldn't be any leading commas. If the city and province had the same name, for example, you'd write "Quebec, Quebec", the meaning would be obvious.

TLDR: I think it would look better if leading commas were omitted from all displayed fields as they are in the tree view.

Just my opinion

Is this expected behaviour, or should I be worrying about it?
