ENGLISH / Exception with Geneanet Export Action

« on: May 24, 2022, 04:16:44 »

Things are going very well with Ancestris, and I appreciate your help. I just got a new computer today which runs Windows 11. I have ancestris running with seemingly no problem. But the geneanet export does not seem to be working, and I don't know why.  I also notice that even though I have Automatic backup set to "4" I do not see any back up files.  Below is a copy of the exception log.  Do you have any tips on what I might try? Thank you.

ENGLISH / Notes Attached to Place

« on: May 11, 2022, 13:22:51 »

Hello: I'm not sure, but I seem to have a series of notes attached to a particular place, so when I give a place of birth, for example, a series of about 8 notes appears every time I use that place for another person or another event.  Consequently, The same notes appear on different individuals about 646 times which is every time I use that place. I've gone through the places list and instructions, but I just can't figure this out. I don't see notes attached anywhere in the list of places.  I think I did this when I upgraded to GEDCOM 5.5.1 last month.  Any ideas?

ENGLISH / Places number of jurisdictions and hierarchy format differs

« on: April 20, 2022, 17:00:24 »

Greetings:
I used a GCODCOM 5.5 file and had Ancestris update it to 5.5.1. For the most part, it all went well. I am working through 2746 Validations of Gedcom compliance and anomalies.  The error for 950 of those reads: "Place's hierarchy format differs from that of GEDCOM Places number of jurisdictions differs from declared format (8 vs 1)."  I attached a screenshot of one such entry.  I can not figure out what is different from this entry than entries that do not have those errors. The error free entries look the same to me as the entries with these errors. Does anyone have any ideas?  Thank you. --Doug

ENGLISH / Show indifidual or family in dynamic tree from editor

« on: April 12, 2022, 06:01:14 »

When I am using anyone of the 3 editors is there a way to have the dynamic tree jump to the person or family I have opened in the editor.  I see how to right click in the GEDCOM editor to make the family or person the root in the dynamic tree which is very handy, but I don't necessarily want to make them a root, I just want to jump to them. If there is not a way to do that, is there a way to make a person a root in the dynamic tree from the Aires or Cygnus editors? --Thank you.

ENGLISH / Defaut app by file type

« on: April 11, 2022, 13:05:11 »

Hello,
I've recently changed over to Ancestris from GenealogyJ and am using Windows 10.  I am slowly figuring everything out (very slowly). When I set all GEDCOM files on my computer to open with Ancestris by using Select Settings  > Apps > Default apps, I chose ancestris64.exe which shows the generic icon for ancestris (brown box). If I did this correctly, how can I get Windows to display the correct logo, the white ball with the feather? If I did not set the the file typ correctly, can you please tell me how to do it correctly. Thank you.
