There's no size limit on array sizes, if that's what you mean. But every program runs into trouble at some point simply due to memory requirements to load in a large number of individuals or due to taking an extraordinarily long amount of time. Tamura Jones wrote a program that creates bigger and bigger GEDCOM ...

It's two years later and just prior to Version 1.0 release, and I was revisiting some of the Behold forum posts. This one caught me. Why wasn't I using the default text viewer? At the time of Brett's post, Behold always loaded text files using notepad. After his post, I added an ability to specify the text ...

Jerry, It will soon be technically possible, since the next version of my programming language Delphi will allow for Android development. But it won't be soon. I need to get to Version 2 of Behold (with editing) first before I consider other platforms. Once Version 2 is out, I'll look again at all the ...

David: I'm sorry if you were somehow misled into thinking that Behold was currently a full genealogy editor. I wish I was there already, but that's planned for Version 2. Currently, Behold is only a viewer. The next step will be Version 1.1 which will save to GEDCOM and to its own project file. Then will come ...

I've now added the ability to show just Descendants of the selected families into version 0.99.18 of Behold. There is a "D" button on the toolbar to quickly select this option.

That's sadly funny. 5 years of development, and Behold can't do that. On the Organize -> Numbering page, in the "Order Individuals / Within Families" drop down box, I can add an option that says "Only Descendants". This shouldn't be too difficult to implement, since that is the same as "Up to Ancestors" but ...

Thanks. I confirm this problem and it does happen when 125% is set. I'll try to fix it.

What version did you have? A couple of the older versions had a bug in the update procedure. Try simply going to the Behold Download page and simply reinstall the program right on top of your current version. Louis

I believe that version had a bug in the update routine. Just go to the Behold Download page and re-install the new version right on top of the old one. Louis
