Because of several hard drive crashes that I recently encountered, the only file I had available to use was anFTM file. I ran the import through and after over 12 hours (started around 3pm in the afternoon and left it run overnight and it had completed by the time I got up around 10 - really 9 with DST switch) it did pull in my 8425 people.
I then started working on the master place list. I knew there would be things to clean up as it was where I did most of the clean up when I sent from TMG to FTM (do it sometimes for some reporting options). Since the file I imported was TMG then FTM then back into TMG I did expect clean up. There are 2155 places in my Master Place list. Clean up is going well and I really like the fact that I now have dates (at least years) to associate with the places since I do have many that have gone through name changes or other changes, though it will take time for me to begin entering them.
I am running into a few issues.
First are what I will refer to as screen refresh issues.
Second are edit window open issues.
These two may be related so I will describe what happens.
As I go through the list to edit a place to correct where the values ended up, there are times when the edit window does not open at all with a double click and even clicking the edit button on the side. I have to either do it multiple times or do something else first - click on another place or do something else like Sort before I will get the edit. The other thing that will occur is that when the edit window does open, it may not display the place that I was on, but the information from the last location i was editing. Being cautious I just cancel out of the editing, click on a couple of other places, then click on the desired one and again edit that place and everything is fine.
Well, I thought I had another issues, but am currently not able to replicate it. The issue was clicking on events and having nothing show up.
