Exhibits vs. Gedcom export

Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

I use external exhibits and seems that those are not experted during Gedcom export?

Am I right and is there a way to export exhibits? Or am I possibly doing something wrong?

 

I use also Second Site which only supports external ones so cant change that.

A GEDCOM file is a text file and contains the exhibit records (links, captions), not the exhibit files. Those have to be transferred separately.

 

The GEDCOM specs do support embedding hex-encoded exhibit files but I'm aware of only one program that supports this.

Thank You Jim!

 

Are you aware of any iPAD genealogy app which can import TMG data direct or import any of TMG export formats.

I know many which can import GEDCOM but as you mention, only part of the data is transferred.

The only app that uses TMG data directly is GedStar Pro for Android. There is nothing comparable for IOS that I know of.

 

The best solution for IOS is to use a Second Site website. There are discussions of how to load a SS website on the iPad on the mail list.

Here's a different method.
