Closed Issue: Linking new people to existing people [420]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:44 GMT

I have a GED file I imported and the ivsualization is good, but the relationship to a previous husband did not come through. I tried to link the people manually and the system is not linking to an existing person.

Closed Issue: App crashes when clicked on Photo & Stories [425]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:43 GMT

When opening up the Windsor.family file and selecting Prince Charles then click on Photos & Stories the app crashes. The same thing will occur with various people. I've been able to reproduce on 2 different machines.

Closed Feature: Localized versions [427]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:43 GMT

Dear,

Does Vertigo intends to localize this application? If so, I'd love to see it localized to brazilian portuguese. By the way, if help on translation is needed, do not hesitate on counting on me. I know a bit about Winforms and localization, but I am new to WPF. Even so, drop me a line and let me know how I can help.

Closed Issue: GedcomImport logic problem in ImportChildren method [621]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:42 GMT

BUG REPORT:

There are at least two errors in the way that spouse relationships are adding during GEDCOM import. Specifically, cases where only one parent is known have problems. Also, I have cases where a person with multiple spouses with multiple children do not import properly.

In the ImportChildren method, there is some flawed logic. I grabbed the FamilyShow code to help me generate the XML for a seperate purpose and encountered this problem. I do not know the code to fix FamilyShow, but here is my modification that worked for my purpose. Please look at this method.

By the way, GREAT PROGRAM. This is honestly one of the coolest applications I've seen in a long time. Thank you several time over for putting this together.

Here is the code i modified in GedcomImport.cs in the ImportChildren method, changes are at the end:

foreach (string child in children)
{
// Get the Person object for the child.
Person childPerson = people.Find(child);

// Calling RelationshipHelper.AddChild hooks up all of the
// child relationships for the husband and wife. Also hooks up
// the sibling relationships.
if (husbandPerson != null && wifePerson != null && childPerson != null)
{
RelationshipHelper.AddChild(people, husbandPerson, childPerson);
RelationshipHelper.AddChild(people, wifePerson, childPerson);
}

if (husbandPerson == null && wifePerson != null && childPerson != null)
RelationshipHelper.AddChild(people, wifePerson, childPerson);

if (husbandPerson != null && wifePerson == null && childPerson != null)
RelationshipHelper.AddChild(people, husbandPerson, childPerson);

Closed Feature: Not possible to add existing people to other families [714]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:42 GMT

It is not currently possible to add currently defined people as spouse/parent to oother families.

Suppose we have created a family (father X1 and all the kids including i.e. D1). Now D1 is a spouse of another person in another family, it is not possible to define this or make this relationship. The same is true for parents.

Closed Issue: Change parents - crash [949]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:42 GMT

There is a bug, which sometimes results in a crash.
It's very easy to reproduce:
1) Create Mom and Dad
2) Create a Son
3) Try to create a Mother for this Son.

Closed Issue: Family.Show has stopped working [1160]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:41 GMT

"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

I downloaded family show v2 and started developing our family tree last night. Today, I tried to continue expanding the tree, but the tree view is missing. I can see all of the family members list and the expanded view.
When I select any of the family members to try and bring out the tree view, I get the above error.

I am able to view the tree for the sample windsor.family.

Any ideas?

Closed Issue: Problem with GEDECOM file generated by Family.Show [1854]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:41 GMT

Thank you for your work, your software is very nice, very funny and very easy to use! So I used it to generate a.ged file. But when importing the ged file (generated using FamilyShow->Export) into other softwares (I tried phpGedView), all the persons can be seen but the links to their family are lost. It seems links in INDIvidual records -> FAMily records are missing. I added them handly and it was fixed.
My opinion is that 1 or 2 lines are missing in individal record (FAMS and FAMC tags)
1 FAMS @F2@
1 FAMC @F1@.

I don't know your tools, so I'm afraid I can't help. May be in the future...

Thanks

How do you print off a hard copy document?

Closed Issue: Relationship date [3277]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:40 GMT

Hello,
I installed your software, and everything works fine except the date of the relationships (as you can see in the image).
Is there any font that is necessary to install? Why do I have this issue?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I'm running Windows XP SP2

Closed Issue: system hangs processor [4999]

logicchild — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:40 GMT

I have updated my family tree up to 94 people and the system will just hang, using my processor but taking 30 seconds to a minute to move onto the next action. Typing entries is almost impossibly slow. The Windsor file still opens up fine. What issues could exist that would cause the program to hang?

Closed Feature: Usability improvement: combine open/import and save/export [5634]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:40 GMT

I really like Family.Show! It demonstrates well that complexity and simplicity can walk hand in hand.
The menu good be simplified even more, by leaving out the GedCom menu and adding the GedCom file format to the file type dropdownlist in the Open... and Save... dialog windows.
The menu option "What is GedCom?" could be left out, or moved to a help menu, but I think the power of the App is that it's so self-explanatory, that it doesn't need a Help menu.
The video-cast on the Vertigo site explains it all.

Keep up the good work!

Closed Issue: Family sort order sorts on birth year, not on birth date [5639]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:40 GMT

When I click on the "Birth" column header in the Family list on the right side of Family.Show, the sort order changes to that column, but as you can see on the attached image, it's not sorted on the full birth date, which gives strange results in the Age column (as you can see on the image). Could the sorting mechanism use the full birth date? Probably Death date has the exact same issue.

Closed Feature: Print Diagrams [5720]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:39 GMT

Add menu item to allow user to Print Diagrams and, perhaps, other visuals and information from Family.Show

Closed Issue: Use RelativePath were possible to enable sending *.family files without creating a dummy FullyQualifiedPath [6014]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:39 GMT

I wanted to send my family tree to my sister. After testing to see if the 'RelativePath' reference in the XML would actually be used, I discovered it wasn't.
If the FullyQualifiedPath isn't set on my sisters machine, to exactly the same as my user directory, she won't be able to see any images (ie in the 'Images' folder).

I created a patch for this, which needs rework in terms of design, but it works. I can copy/paste my Family.Show folder to anywhere on my hard drive, including xxx.family one level outside that folder.
Then I can browse and open that file and have Family.Show be able to find the photos (using the RelativePath).

Closed Issue: Twins & Up [6306]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:39 GMT

It seems that the DOB (month and day) for twins causes the second one added to show a ?/?. It would be nice if there was a special link for them and allowing the order of delivery.

Closed Issue: Incorrect Age Displayed [6486]

elyoh — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:35:38 GMT

The ages in the list view on the right continue even for deceased people. It should show their age up to the point they died.

When I try to import the GEDCOM file created by the latest version of Family.Show (Nov) into Ancestry.com's Family Tree maker 2009 it throws the Error
