Ahnenblattportal

Johny, I don't believe that Ahnenblatt has that feature. However, you could do a work-around by utilizing an archive (ie. zip) utility, such as the excellent freeware 7-Zip , which allows you to encrypt and zip files easily. Whenever you unzip the database file, for example, it will prompt for a pas...

I don't see any content in the main panel One of two things might be happening: Windows will block CHM files (for "your protection"! ha!) that were not created on your computer. Find the file in Windows Explorer, right click on it and select Properties , then click Unblock . This issue is...

To English users (there are a few, anyway...), I have posted a small update - current language and help files - to my site at: http://members.shaw.ca/Mathemagician/ The site contains the Language file (in zip format) the Help file (in zip format) an installer for both (together) The language and hel...

I have added a few more to the list (see first message in this thread) - some that are actually wrong. The scary thing is that I went back and looked at the v2.86 English.lng file (Dirk's, not mine) and they were wrong THEN! For at least one, I tested the behaviour and KNOW that mine is correct (All...

Marcus, I have struggled with my own Language file for some time - the language files are based on the resources, embedded in "Ahnblatt.exe". It's a little confusing (some are not touched, some are...) but I think I have "a handle" (programmer's joke?) on how to deal with this is...

Dirk, The Partners tab has been reworked (different data order), but the "In" edit boxes (TTntLookupEdit - Places) are not all located the same. The first 2 (EheIn01 and EheIn02) are set to "Left = 104", but EheIn03 and EhehIn04 are set to 102 and 101, respectively. This is a ver...

By accident, I'm sure (they were present in v2.93, I think), the heading translations for Tools/Options (left panel of dialog) were deleted from ALL language files. This was already reported on the German portion of the forum ( here ), and Dirk was supposed to post a newer release - a newer release ...

Thanks Marcus for the comments! I hadn't really looked at MyGeoPosition (wasn't in v2.93) when I was testing (did the testing on v2.93 first, then v2.94 later), but looking at it now, I see that the website copies X,Y. This works, as noted in my first message. But Dirk has also allowed for pasting i...

Greetings, I could not find anything on the forums, re: pasting geographic coordinates from the clipboard to the "Other" tab of Places Management (new to v2.93), however, experimentation has yielded the following: A. Clipboard: ±123.456,±65.4321 Pastes as Latitude,Longitude - sign controls...

Dirk, Excellent! The Delphi computations are undoubtedly now correct for DEC -> DMS (ver. 2.94), but there is a small glitch in the display of the result. Seconds are being displayed to 0.1", but are being truncated , rather than rounded (to the nearest 1/10 of a second). For example, 49.123552...

Dirk,

Ah, yes!! I see! I think I must not have had enough coffee that day...

In English, that is usually referred to as a "Splash Screen". I will change my language file and manual.

Dirk,

Great! I think this type of rounding error would probably come back, but only with certain values. No doubt the logic you have used is correct (works in Places Management, at least), but the INT routine (at least with Delphi/Pascal) is troublesome.

Dirk, I noticed in the Navigator text for Joseph Becker (in the Demo.ahn file), the latitude - expressed as a decimal degrees - is incorrect (30' is always 0.5 degrees). In the Places Management dialog, the number is correct (if I remember), but displays wrongly in the Navigator. I am assuming the p...

Hi all! I am back working on the English help, after a long rest from it. Instead of maintaining the single list of bugs in this forum, I am just going to "post them as I find them". I hope that's ok; I will make the subject clear, I hope, for quick spotting by Dirk or ? Bug - the Welcome ...
