  1. Thanks Michael! Good to know ... will probably follow up with Darren on the TNG side at some point about this.
  2. So I guess if it is not standardized, then confusion will abound! To answer Jim's question, the TNG software requires me to massage the GPS as follows: If TMG outputs this line: 2 PLAC Our Lady of Calvary Cemetery, 134 Forest Street, Yarmouth, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, Canada, , , 43.831944,-66.102222 Then I need keep that line (but strip off the lat/long info at the end) and add new lines before the closing "0 TRLR" line: below is what the output would look like. Note that if a place's "2 PLAC" line occurs multiple times (e.g. I have several people listed as buried in the same cemetery), then the lines I add at the end should only add one entry per unique "2 PLAC" entry". 2 PLAC Our Lady of Calvary Cemetery, 134 Forest Street, Yarmouth, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, Canada ... 0 PLAC Our Lady of Calvary Cemetery, 134 Forest Street, Yarmouth, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, Canada 1 MAP 2 LATI 43.831944 2 LONG -66.102222
  3. The good thing is the massaged format (as required by TNG) maintains the decimal format that TMG is exporting. I'm assuming one of TMG and TNG is not quite compliant to the GEDCOM standard given that I have to do this massaging!!
  4. OK, thanks. I will update my perl script to handle the new decimal format (need to massage that data for certain other GEDCOM consumers I use). -S
  5. My TMG used to output GEDCOM files with latitude/longitude information in this format: "433201N0654342W" (i.e. a contiguous string representation of the form <DD><MM><SS><N|S><DD><MM><SS><E|W>) But now, regardless of how I set the display format for places in the preferences, the GEDCOM output comes out as: "43.831944,-66.102222" (i.e. simple decimal notation). Is there a way to change the output format? When did this change? Regards,...
  6. Missed Exhibits in backup?

    For the benefit of others: OK - answered my own question: downloaded John Cardinal's TMG utility and ran an exhibit report with it (missing exhibits only) - this let me identify the source record that had the missing exhibit. (Just deleted it as it already also had the NOT missing PDF version!).
  7. With v8.08 I backup my project and get an error about a missing exhibit, and the last backup log indicates this (running on a Mac under Parallels; all TMG files are on the Parallels C drive): ********************* * Missed Exhibits * ********************* text >\\psf\Home\Downloads\EMAIL-WILMOT-Richard (Rick) and family.txt ******************************************** * Not found one exhibit file. ******************************************** How can I figure out what the issue is and the resolution? I do have one exhibit with a name similar to the text file name above: it is a PDF exhibit with this file: "EMAIL-WILMOT-Richard (Rick) and family.pdf" - it is an external exhibit and exists with my other exhibits in "C:\Users\<username>\GENEALOGY DB\Exhibits" (including some other PDF exhibits). (So I don't think it is related to the fact that I have a PDF file, am I pointing to a text version somewhere?) Thanks in advance.
  8. Error Updating to 8.08

    Thanks for the link ... that is the 8.08 version, just what I needed - that installed fine (since no uprgade required!). The link should be on the web site still I think! Regards...
  9. Error Updating to 8.08

    Updating from 8.06 to 8.08 resulted in an error and the automatic installer program rollback procedure resulted in the complete removal of the TMG application (it did NOT revert to the original v8.06). Re-installing 8.06, opening the sample DB, and executing the upgrade process again results in the same error (regardless of whether I close TMG before starting the upgrade or not). Any suggestions to work around this bug and get v8.08 successfully installed? Anyone know the secret link to where I can just download v8.08 (since v9 is out, I assume it is NOT available anymore). Thanks in advance.

  10. Just following up in case someone with the answer missed my original post. -Colin
  11. Is there a reason I can't put images in as footnotes or endnotes in an ahnentafel report? Those options are grayed out and so I choose embedded ... but embedded leaves the images coming out on top with no context preceding them: you have to go AFTER all the pictures to see the text for the person associated with those exhibit(s), which doesn't make sense to me. -Colin
  12. Need help with Win8 upgrade issue

    Thanks Terry, looks like I am good (registered to me). At least until time for next update!! -Colin
  13. Need help with Win8 upgrade issue

    I think Virginia has hit at the gist of my issue: C:Program Files (x86)The Master Genealogist v8 The above directory remains (empty, except for a "pdf" subfolder with an "install.log" file), and I cannot delete it. The error message when trying is that "Access is denied." I've tried some obvious and not-so-obvious things, but it does not work. So I tried some more! I did start by changing the folder owner from SYSTEM to myself (colin) (right click folder, click Properties, click Security tab, click Advanced button, click "Change" link beside owner name, add my name "colin", then click OK) ...but when I tried to propagate that ownership change down to all child objects (i.e. subfolder & file) via the checkbox to do this ("Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permission entries from this object"), I get this error: An error occurred while supplying security information to: C:Program Files (x86)The Master Genealogist v8pdf Failed to enumerate objects in container. Access is denied." But then if I change the owner of each object in the directory tree one at a time and also give full permissions (to my own "colin" account), starting from the bottom, i.e. starting from the "install.log file, then following with "pdf" directory, then ending with "The Master Genealogist v8" directory, that seemed to work ... it seemed to successfully change ownership and permission. Next, trying to delete the "The Master Genealogist v8", I still run into issues! However, if do it bottom up, i.e. if I first delete install.log, then delete pdf directory, then delete "C:Program Files (x86)The Master Genealogist v8"...THAT finally worked! OH MY GOD! How bad can Win8 really be? I mean...REALLY? How messed up! Anyways, after all the above, I am finally allowed to install the demo 8.04 TMG OK! Running the install program, all seems OK, and now I am running TMG 8.04! Yahoo. There may be other remnants of the original install (although I didn't see any under my home dir, FYI), but they didn't cause a problem. Now, I probably had a remnant somewhere with my serial number, because the demo 8.04 didn't ask me for it: how can I tell if I have a fully functional unlocked non-demo install??? -Colin
  14. New Win8 Release Preview installed as a VM under Parallels 8 on Mac OS X 10.7.5. Installed 8.0 and registered OK (with just sample database). Downloaded latest version 8.04 from within the program, but the install failed with an error message I noticed in another thread here: "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected" In the end that failed upgrade left TMG8 uninstalled completely (at least, no program left to run...some remnants exist). So I downloaded the demo and tried to install that...it failed (just hangs after selecting language and then getting to INSTALL button). Hmmm ... is there any hope? There is still a TMG V8 program folder under C:\Program Files (x86), but I have no way of deleting that directory. Any advice gladly accepted! -Colin
  15. Terry - thanks for your detailed reply. Cause of Death - just want to add it for interesting cases. So I will take your advice and use the Memo of the Death tag. However, because I prefer to write the memo as a standalone sentence, or paragraph, I would make the sentence end as <. [M]> (i.e. period not comma) (I assume that is not a problem). PDFs: Is an RTF file considered "true text"? I had assumed not, but am not sure. Mostly I want to use PDFs for reference (but sometimes one would be worthy of use in a report). Good to know SS can display PDFs (limitations of PDFs duly noted). I still like to attach PDFs for reference because it makes it easy to find the PDF associated with the tag. Regards, Colin
