Hi Paul,

We will look at this weird behaviour.

There's something wierd about this. I deleted all events that were linked to the second place 'Harpurhey' (the one that showed up in red in the places list) and it disappeared from the places list as expected.

I recreated an event for one of the individuals and selected 'Harpurhey' from the drop-down list. Opening the places list I see there is only one 'Harpurhey' listed but this individuals event isn't linked to it - instead it is linked to an unknown place at the top of the places list. I think the screenshots might explain it better!

I'm guessing that because the lat/long co-ords for Harpurhey are showing in black rather than blue in the places list, it is not considered a valid place and new events are therefore being linked to the 'unknown' place.

Can someone explain this please or tell me what I'm doing wrong, it's very confusing!

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

I'm afraid there is no such of list.

In that case, is there some other way to see what has changed - maybe add a very brief summary to the update dialog??

I can confirm this works as expected (even from context menu ) - many thanks!

Great, thanks, works perfectly.

Where can I find the changelog for Ancestris daily version BTW?

Great! Many thanks (I was running it from the context menu which bypasses the options)

Just to note: There is no option to choose output format, ie the only options are .svg or 'all files' in the file selector. If I force .pdf in the filename I end up with output.pdf.svg

EDIT svg is the only output option for this report, ps is the only option for the other charts

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  )

Ah I see, having just Aries open the context menu is always "..for indi" as expected. Again, not a major problem but worth improving if possible

Cheers

Regardless of the dynnamic tree, the context meny for an entity works fine in Aries. Right-clicking between sex box and ID number.

I must be doing something wrong since it doesn't always appear - see attached. This person has a spouse and marriage event but there's no 'navigate' option.

EDIT I've just noticed, sometimes the context menu is 'Actions for Name' other times it's 'Actions for Individuals' (with navigation option) but I can't figure out why these two different menus appear when clicking in the same area.

EDIT2: If I select or double-click someone in the entity table it always shows 'actions for name'. If I make that person active in dynamic tree it shows 'actions for indi'. However, if I navigate back and forward using the navigation arrows it always shows '...for indi' if it has already done so. Seems like a bug?

Switching to spouse: the most direct way you have is the right-click (on the aries editor somewhere between sex menu list and sosa number: Navigate to > Spouse,  or else you can use the navigator view.

I've just noticed that this option isn't always available. I can only seem to get it to appear in the context menu if the individual is active in the dynamic tree. Is that expected?

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?
