  1. The reason this issue is still out there is that it can't be replicated. One beta tester got the issue on his notebook and now can't get it any more.

     

    I need one or two people who get the issue on a regular basis to help me. Contact me directly and I will sent you download instructions and detailed instructions to test this. The download will be about 6.5 Mb.

     

    Basically, you will be using a Tmg.exe build which will create a log file when the 'structure version missing' message occurs.

     

    Write me by clicking on the link below:

    Update: Could each of you please send me the PJC file from the project giving the 'structure version missing' message so that I can check the file.

    I am using 6.09 and get this error every few times I open TMG. I am willing to help you if necessary. I will email you the contents of my log file in the first instance.

  2. What is the best way to avoid confusion when using a laptop on a field trip and returning to a desk top? I recently decided to put my project file on a 1 G flash drive and added the date of transfer to the file name before a trip. When I use the flash drive in my lap top how can I avoid multiple versions of the file or losing data when I return the updated file to the desk top computer?

    I also use the Backup/Restore method. Backup, with whatever complexity you choose (full customisations or not etc) on your PC, copy .sqz to flash drive or CD etc, restore the .sqz on your laptop.

    This feature puts in a date for me too using the 'generate file name' tick box, so I get <project_name> yyyy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss.sqz

    When I return I do the reverse.

    It all works a treat and avoid any mistakes of missing a file or 2.

  3. I inadvertantly have two copies of the same project (I worked on my PC an laptop) that have slightly differing content.

     

    By this, I mean that my master copy (on the PC) has 8 individuals that are not in the laptop version.

    The laptop version has several indviduals the PC version doesn't.

     

    What is the best way to 'merge' these indvidual in. If I for example restored the laptop project on to the PC, how would I first 'save' or 'export' the 8 people to bring them back after the restore.

     

    I'd thought of another dataset and exporting that, but I only really have GEDCOM as an option there.

     

    Other suggestions welcomed, is there a more eloquent method.

    Thanks

    Neil
