ENGLISH / Proposal to indicate gender in 'Family' and 'Narrative' reports

« on: Yesterday at 23:38:56 »

Hi,

A person's gender is not always clear from the person's name or other description. So, for example, there are names in various languages that can be both male and female (e.g. Alexis in English), similarly the English words 'born', 'died' etc. in the description are not gender specific (while they are in French). Would it be possible to indicate the person's gender in 'Family descent lineage' and 'Narrative lineage of ascendants or descendants' reports? May be by the addition of (M), (F) or (U) after the person's name in children's list ('Narrative' report) and by the addition of (M), (F), (U) or symbol for gender in 'Family' report.

Regards,

Matjaž

ENGLISH / Narrative report: proposal to replace numbering in children's list

« on: Yesterday at 22:53:29 »

Hi,

My suggestion is to replace the existing numbering in children's list with Sosa/d'Aboville/Sosa-d'Aboville numbering (does it make sense?) when the option  'Include existing numbering in report' is ticked in 'Options'. This may facilitate referring back and forth between the child in the list and the corresponding entry for him/her under the heading for generation as both will have the same number.

Regards,

ENGLISH / Different formats of d'Aboville numbering

« on: Yesterday at 22:29:08 »

Hi,

The format of d'Aboville numbering in 'Family descent lineage' report differs from the format that appears in Gedcom/Cygnus/Aries editor and also in 'Narrative lineage of ascendants or descendants' report (e.g. 3-175 vs. 3.1.7.5). Shouldn't it always be the same?

ENGLISH / Deleting content in shared 'Source Text' is not working

« on: October 12, 2024, 13:17:30 »

Hi,

Deleting content in shared 'Source Text' tab in source editor in Aries is not working properly. After confirming the change, the content that was presumably deleted is still there. Replacing the content with some other content, on the other hand, is working OK. The content in this tab can be normally deleted in Cygnus editor.

Yes, it is in Aries editor and there is also a horizontal scroller. I find using a horizontal scroller rather annoying. I think wrapping and eventually a vertical scroller would be a better solution.

Hi,

The text in the 'Publication facts' in 'Sources' doesn't wrap. I think it should.

ENGLISH / Date format proposal

« on: October 01, 2024, 14:24:43 »

Hi,

Would it be possible for Ancestris to display dates also in the following format(s): dd.mm.yyyy (and perhaps also 'd. m. yyyy' and 'd.m.yyyy')? This is the all numerical format of the date used by many countries (please, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_date_formats_by_country). The existing date formats in Ancestris don't match the particular language standards in quite a few languages. As a consequence, the dates that are displayed in reports and elsewhere look rather odd in some languages. I believe it would be useful to have more choices of date formats in Preferences.

Regards,

Matjaz

Hi,

Symbols in the 'Family descent lineage' report seem to display only before some events and not all the ones that are defined in 'Preferences' under 'General data' (e.g. symbol for Residence is not displayed). In the 'Lineage of ancestry by generation' report all symbols display as expected. Am I perhaps missing something or something could be done about it?

Thanks,
