ENGLISH / Font and GUI element size

« on: October 03, 2019, 15:56:59 »

How do I change the font size and interface elements (on Linux)? In GenJ it was an option if I recall correctly but it seems to have disappeared.

If you look at this image from a widescreen monitor you'll see that tabs and other elements are extremely small - most of the window is occupied by blank space (ok I know the particular tab is maximized but still). Just increasing font size would be a great help!

ENGLISH / Import forces 4 levels of place name heirarchy

...not a problem in itself except that place names can end up displayed as things like ", Manchester, Lancashire, England" or worse yet ", , ,India" if I know someone was born in that country but have no more detail.

It looks ugly. Isn't it possible to remove leading commas for display purposes?

"Root Person"?

Thanks for that, a font size of 14 is more than big enough for me on a wide-screen display and it doesn't cause any issues that I can see.

So you should have another conf file in .ancestris/trunk/etc

Yes, I can confirm that the font size is changed when the option is added to that file. However, as you suspected, it messes up the interface in places:

Go to the ancestris/etc directory, open the ancestris.conf file and add to the line "default_options" the parameter : "--fontsize 24" (the value 24 is given as example, you can choose the one you want, the default value is 11).
Restart Ancestris and you should see the difference.
Warning : I don't have tested extensively this option. It could lead to cut texts and random effect on windows display.

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't seem to work, whatever font size I choose. The relevant line in my ancestris.conf reads:

Code: [Select]

default_options="--branding ancestris -J-Xms96m --J-Xmx4g --laf Nimbus --fontsize 18"

I've tried to find a solution to this too but without success, hopefully an answer will be forthcoming. The font is not only small but isn't smoothed so is unpleasant to look at. Seems odd that we can set output font but not interface font.

ENGLISH / Inconsistent commas?

« on: May 31, 2019, 20:35:47 »

In this image there's a comma after the individual's given names, 'Walter John', but in the grid view there isn't. Furthermore, for a person with a single given name, commas don't appear in the person's details or in the grid. It seems a bit inconsistent; I can see why it would be used for Family Name, Given Name but not Given Names, Family Name when they are already in separate edit boxes.

Hope that explanation is clear!

Ancestris open all files in memory.
If the files are large, you can have troubles with your memory.

Edited ancestris.conf to allow up to 4gb but it doesn't make any difference. Switching between any view and Aries editor is fine except when Aries has gallery tab open - that results in a long delay.

OK I think the issue with titles not appearing in the grid is because (in my *.ged) in some cases TITL is subordinate to FORM but in others it is the same level - probably a result of using different software over the years.

ENGLISH / Label not translated in Cygnus editor

'Heure' displayed regardless of language selected:



(and why are the edit boxes smaller than the dropdown box and buttons? Looks a bit odd!)

ENGLISH / Object (Image) titles not displayed in editor

« on: May 31, 2019, 13:46:11 »

For some reason, titles aren't being displayed in the editor even though they are present in the *.ged. This is the latest 'daily version' on Linux.





It's also almost impossible to resize columns in the grid to view the file path etc - the headers are incredibly unresponsive.

EDIT: I've also noticed that switching to the Aries editor tab when its gallery tab is selected from any other view causes a long delay. Switching between other tabs or to the Aries editor when its 'events' or some other tab is selected, does suffer from the delay. Switching between multimedia objects in the gallery view grid (with a single click) also causes a delay.

The path to the image also looks wrong in this grid - my files are shown as '/home/paul/desktop/../family-history-media/.... but /family-history/media is in my /home folder - I'm guessing that the first part of the displayed path is where the Ancestris folder is located and is being used to build a relative link to the image. The images themselves display correctly.

I have a lot of linked images, I wonder if all this path calculation is the cause of the delays?
