Hi Will, At this point, Behold only will generate the report for viewing. It really doesn't have the whole report in memory, but just the page you are looking at and a few on either side. Yes, it does allow you to edit right on the report, but that is not saved anywhere. Even so, Behold should NOT be hanging ...

It should be F10 to view the log file. All it should do is bring up Notepad to view your file. Maybe Notepad is not set up on your computer. If you type Notepad in the Windows Run box, does it come up? If not, the default program can be changed from the Menu: File -> Text Viewer. I'm considering changing ...

Brett: Sometimes the simplest things just aren't obvious when you've been programming for awhile. Why I did it that way: frankly I can't remember. But now that you put this in front of my face, yes, this is the way I should do it. However, Tamura's review has already led me to think I should reinstitute the ...

That's exactly it. Most people don't want to fiddle. They want the defaults to work and for it to be automatic. But you can't do both: Show the married name for some people AND not show the married name for other people - unless you have something to specify which ones. I could have the option to not show ...

Yes. I am aware of that. I'm not sure yet what the best solution is. There are several possibilities. Probably the best would be to have a custom GEDCOM tag to indicate that this person never took on their spouse's married name. This could easily be implemented in Behold, but because Behold does not yet edit ...

I want to completely redo the Print Preview display. It is what is supplied with RichView and it is somewhat non-standard and is missing a lot of things people are used to. I do want to get version 1 out with as high a priority as possible, so I'm leaving this for version 1.1.

I got your screen shot. The component I use must not be displaying correctly on Vista. That will be tougher for me to track down as I develop on XP. But I'll add it to my bug list to fix during the beta.

Thanks for pointing that out. That's because I load save the country at time of registration into the User database. I'll change that so the country becomes dynamic so fixes to the IP list will also fix the display in the User list.

Actually the GEDCOM file is loaded into memory. The Add GEDCOM(s) command will actually merge the currently loaded files. The original files never get locked or changed in any way, at least until version 2. So Behold's use of "open" and "close" is not really correct, but it is what people are used to seeing. So ...

There. A whole bunch of IP addresses were missing from the database. I found a great way to get all the Australia IPs at: http://www.ipaddresslocation.org/ip_ranges/get_ranges.php so I was able to at least add Australia into the missing group. I'm sure in not too long someone from China will find they're ...
