Descendancy Narrative report problem
Jim Byram replied to Charles J. Vella's topic in The Master Genealogist v9
You have 50 subjects? If that's the case, you should get 50 reports based on those 50 people, each report starting on a new page. -
Cannot add new tag or person
Jim Byram replied to Charles J. Vella's topic in The Master Genealogist v9
I'll check your project if you send me a backup; however, I don't think that it's the project. Run the TMG installer as administrator and select [Repair]. If that has no effect, I think that some third party application is interfering with TMG. -
It's not clear what your problem is. Have you used Windows Explorer to determine whether your project is in the TMG9 projects folder? Exactly what are you doing when you say "all my information has disappeared"?

Run File / Maintenance / Reindex and see if that resolves the issue.

TMG project opens but “not responding”
Jim Byram replied to Ann Shepherd's topic in The Master Genealogist v9
Ann, I'll check the project if you wish. Make a backup with nothing but the project files and put the backup somewhere I can download it. (I'm assuming that the backup will be too large to email.) You can contact me by email by clicking on the link below... Jim Byram -
There are two user items in Second Site that apply to using the data in the DNA Log. I believe that both use Y-DNA results. Check the SS help to see a description of these user items. Progeny Genealogy has an add-on for Charting Companion used to create a DNA Matrix chart. Perhaps the output from that to be added to a SS site as a user item..

If you run Validate File Integrity, the 'Last VFI.log' file will have information about any missing exhibits. You can also use TMG Utility and the exhibits feature to identify missing exhibits. (Exhibits / Verify Exhibit Paths)

There is some issue with the Configuration_files folder. Right-click on the folder and select Properties and unselect Read-only. This should make sure that the folder contents are not read-only. (Note that the folder will always show Read-only selected when you check Properties. That's normal.) Now check your report. You might also need to reset the report to defaults to refresh the settings file and re-select your settings.

TMG9 Installed - Missing comdlg32.ocx
Jim Byram replied to Ronn's topic in The Master Genealogist v9
Run the TMG9 installer and select [Repair]. You might also need to open Control Panel / Programs and Features , click 'Turn Windows features on or off' and make sure that 'Media features' is selected. -
You'll want to save the chart as a PDF. http://www.whollygenes.com/forums201/index.php?/topic/14684-printing-large-charts-to-pdf/&tab=comments#comment-59391

Error: Alias 'FILE_N is not found. 1667 OPENDATASETS
Jim Byram replied to lfbrockm's topic in The Master Genealogist v8
Lauren, I may or may not be able to recover your projects. You need to contact me directly. I'll need to know how your projects are stored. Are all projects in one folder or is each project stored in its own folder? You can contact me by email by clicking on the link below... Jim Byram -
Using Boot Camp? If so, open the Boot Camp Control Panel. Select the Keyboard tab. Make sure that the 'Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys' box is selected.

I'm up to date on Win10 on several computers and have no issue with screen preview. Do you have a default printer assigned on the notebook?
-
I'd check to make sure that .RTF also has a file association. I can see how the report output function requires a file association for any file type being output. I don't understand how the .DOC and .DOCX file associations would affect preview but a missing .RTF file association would most likely break preview. Also make sure that there is a default printer.

I have no idea what you are trying to do or the context. To add a .PDF file as an exhibit... Make sure that the PDF file is in the folder selected by the Exhibits path in Preferences. Open the Exhibit Log from any of the appropriate contexts (person, event, source, reporitory). Right-click into the exhibit log and select 'Add new exhibit (other)'. Select the .PDF file from the 'Insert new exhibit' dialog and click [Open]. That's it. Keep in mind that PDF exhibits will not output in reports.

Master Style List for U. K.
Jim Byram replied to tmalek's topic in The Master Genealogist UK Edition
First, a warning... The list reports in TMG use the US default style labels for the place levels. The UK default style labels can be on a different style level for a comparable place entity. This means that list reports will be broken when using the US and UK styles in the same data set. For example, the list reports use the city entity on level 3. The UK style uses the city entity on level 4. So searching for a city, you won't get the city for any place using a UK style. The levels for the default UK style are: Addressee, Detail, Village/Area, Town/City, County/Region, Country, Postal, Phone, Coordinates, Temple. Bottom line... If most of the places in your data set use the US place style, it's best to adopt a consistent scheme to use the UK place entities with the US place style. You could make a new style for UK places to have appropriate level labels while keeping the place entities at the same levels as the US place style. This means having two UK entities at the same level separated by a comma. Example level 3 would be "Village/Area, Town/City". There is a limit for how long a place level label can be and display properly in the label field on a tag entry screen. -
Is the program unlocked?

There is no such report. I'd use the List of People report and build a spreadsheet with columns the for names and ID# for both projects. Sort by the names for each pair of columns.Then work down the columns and insert blank cells where there is a difference to align the names. Once you get to the end, you'll have gaps showing where there are differences.
-
Yes. That's correct. The point of the exercise was to make sure that the files in the folders are not read-only. The folder always displays as read-only. We've seen circumstances where the files are marked read-only for no obvious reason.
-
You mean that you are using 'Printer' as the report destination and the Microsoft Print to PDF driver as the printer, right? I've experienced that it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't and have no idea why.

This is the first paid upgrade for Second Site since February 2016, more than two years and a dozen releases ago. It's been about four years since TMG was discontinued, and as expected the TMG user base has shrunk. That means the Second Site user base has also shrunk. I am still using TMG, and so I am willing and able to keep supporting Second Site. However, I need your support. If you want Second Site to remain available, you should purchase this upgrade. The newsletter link is here: https://www.secondsite7.com/ssn082.htm You can download the installer here: https://www.secondsite7.com/downloads.htm?v=7.00 The upgrade price for Second Site 6 customers is $15.00 USD. New customers and customers whose most-recent license is for Second Site 5 or previous must purchase the full-price license for Second Site 7 for $35.00 USD. There is no difference between the installer programs for the full version license and the upgrade license. The only difference is the cost of the license. Customers who purchased the full version of Second Site 6 on or after April 1, 2018 qualify for a free license for Second Site 7. That license has already been sent via email. Contact me if you think you qualify but you have not received your Second Site 7 license information. To purchase a license for Second Site 7, start on the Second Site home page: https://www.secondsite7.com Click one of the links in the "How to Buy Second Site" box in the upper-right of that page. Installation You do not have to use the right-click, "Run as Administrator" method to start the installer for v7.00. You may be warned that the installer is not from a trusted source.

You might try resetting the report configuration. This looks more like a printer issue. You are not trying to use the Wholly Genes PDF printer driver, right?

File / Maintenance / Initialize Repeat Files If that doesn't work, go to the Repeat_files folder and delete all of the files in the folder. The files will be recreated the next time that TMG is run. You might also need to select your TMG data folder in File Explorer, right-click, select Properties, unselect the Read-only check box, click [OK], click [OK]. That will make sure that the files in the TMG data tree are not marked read-only.

RUG has download links for the older TMG installers... http://www.rootsusers.org/install.html

So you did have a damaged layout file. You should know which layout file you had been using. Delete that file and you can move any others back to the TMG data folder they came from.
