ENGLISH / Recording Education Records

« on: March 06, 2025, 14:02:58 »

What is the best / correct way to record the education record for a person?

There are several people for whom I know multiple education institutions e.g. primary school, high school, university etc.

Ancestris only seems to allow you it create one EDUC record (event) (at least when using the Aries editor). How canI enter multiple education events especially when different schools possibly in different places have been attended? Sometimes there may be multiple schools at the same education stage e.g. 2 high schools if the child / parents moved during the period.

ENGLISH / Media files - relative path

« on: June 21, 2024, 20:46:20 »

How do you add a media file to source and have it store a relative path, as you recommend in the documentation so you can move / share files on usb drive etc?

I have set the "preferences>editing>medias>Force media paths to be relative rather than absolute" option. I have closed and re-open Ancestris but still when I add a new media files using the Gallery tab on a source in the Aries editor it always stores the absolute file path / file name. This happened in v12 and still happens in v13

Is there some other setting / option I should be enabling as well?

ENGLISH / v13 - high CPU usage?

« on: June 21, 2024, 20:09:24 »

I have just updated to the latest release of v13 and updated my java from jre8 to jre21 (as required for v13).

Now when I run v13 I have v. high CPU usage with the fan running constantly.

Windows 10 task manager show Ancestris using 65-70% CPU and over 600Mb of memory with "very high" power usage. All other processes are showing less 2% usage. As soon as I close Ancestris everything drops back to normal and the fan stops.

Is anyone else noticing increase resource utilisation with the new version?
