Gedcom exports

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I maintain my database in TMG v6.05, but export to gedcom and publish to the web using PhpGedView ( http://www.phpgedview.net/ )

 

I have two requests for gedcom exports:

 

1) When exporting a list of sources for a particular tag, please have them export in the order that they appear on the Tag Entry screen. Currently I believe they export in the order that the sources were added.

 

2) When exporting source details, please use the proper case in the complete filenames. Currently everything is in upper case, which causes problems when uploading to unix webservers. (PhpGedView has a great feature where you tell it how much of the path you are replicating on the webserver, so the case of the entire path is important)

 

Thanks!

Woohoo! The paths export perfectly in v6.07, thanks!

 

If I can add a 3rd item with gedcom exports... I have noticed that if a source has an image attached, whatever is entered in the "Supplimental" tab is exported into the NOTE portion of the source. However, if there is no image attached, then the Supplimental tab is not exported.

 

Thanks :)

There should be no relation between the two. The note field on the Supplemental tab should always be exported to a NOTE tag subordinate to the source. I just tested this and it made no difference to whether the note field was exported as to whether a source was linked to the source or not. ???

Aha! OK, I figured it out. I had inadvertently started the comment with a line of dashes, which caused the whole comment to be suppressed on export. It had nothing to do with attached images; thanks for getting me to double check my assumptions :)
