Ahnenblattportal

Greetings to all from Canada! Although I have not continued with the English Help file (there doesn't seem to be much need or interest), I still track updates to Ahnenblatt and download them from the German site. The English site (www.ahnenblatt.com) caused me some concern in the past (re: versions ...

Update - March 11, 2017
The "Inselfinder 2" plugin has been updated to 0.4.5 and now responds properly to comma or semi-colon separators (delimiters). Thanks Marc! I have not tested any of his other plugins, or plugins by different authors - English users be cautious ...

Hello to all! I received an email request from an English user of Ahnenblatt (Robert Kieser) asking how to get the Island Finder plugin to work. He got an immediate .NET error every time. I tested it out and also received the error. In Ahnenblatt v2.88 , Dirk made the "list separator" depe...

I am working on my family , and have a couple on my wife's side who have 2 adopted children. I have no information on their birth parents, so I have just added them normally as children, but with a "Note" that they are adopted. Without reading the note, it appears that they are birth child...

Dirk, Thank you VERY much for your detailed comments - this is very helpful! In the near future, my small language tool (program) will be able to, among other things, directly compare the existence of language sections and variables with the EXE resources. Decoding the resources is not that difficul...

Marco, Yes, I'm sure you're right. But Dirk is probably quite busy with "merging families", etc., not to mention work, wife, family, money, house, car and many other things that take time away from programming! So I did not ask him directly... I'm 99% sure of my assumptions, since I have b...

Greetings from (dark and dreary) Canada, I just have a few comments and questions about language files; hopefully, someone knowledgeable can confirm my assumptions. My apologies ahead of time for being "long winded". As you know, I am still working on the English Help file, and an updated ...

Small bug: found during testing while working on Help file. Ahnenblatt v2.95a Adding an "Island" or isolated person, by using File/New (or from toolbar) does NOT trigger the file changed mechanism, as is shown in the title bar ("*" normally added, but not for isolated person). Cl...

start a program from within a zip-file, with a lot of strange problems as a side-effect Yes, Marcus, that sounds like it may be the culprit. Evanhoe's description of "nothing happens(no response)" fits what you suggest; Ahnenblatt cannot find any language files, since they haven't been un...

Evanhoe, First of all, welcome to the (English) forum! We are a small group - the German section of the forum is much larger - but hopefully we can be of use. I'm not sure what happened, but somehow your posting got duplicated (triplicated!) - perhaps our administrator can delete the other 2 posting...

Marcus, David has kindly sent me 2 images which cause the "index" error. The images appear to be fine, when viewed in Windows, but adding them to Ahnenblatt (to a person's data) causes the error (original image gets trashed, only 1 image can be added, error when trying to click OK/checkmar...

David, Thanks for the reply - glad my trick worked! That confirms my theory . If you get a moment, could you send me a couple of those bogus images (if you kept them), that will save me the trouble of finding some at my end. I would like to have a look at the tags/format also. You can just attach th...

davlind, Welcome to the Ahnenblatt English forum! Not much activity here (compared to the German forum), but we "struggle along". I see by your flag, you are in Australia - I have a son there! I hope you have discovered my English manual (a work in progress). You have raised an issue which...

Anyone..., Re: v2.95a (installed and portable) I have noticed the following behaviours: installed version always displays (Navigator) Latitude and Longitude for places that have them, and includes Lat and Long in created lists (unless turned off by Hide option), while portable version never seems to...
