What’s Left for 1.1 - Blog entry by lkessler - 21 Oct 2013
Well, I got a few things out of the way and my slate has now been cleared until RootsTech in February. So now I can concentrate again on getting Version 1.1 of Behold out before the end of the year. These are major changes that I’m making for 1.1. I think they are necessary and innovative, but it’s a ...

Random Tidbits - Blog comment by lkessler - 20 Oct 2013
Keith,
I didn't mean to belittle the significance of the shutdown. But other than Susan Kitchens who was mad because NASA closed up, I don't recall any other genealogy bloggers mention the shutdown. For the genealogists at least, it just seemed to be business as usual, and that's what I was referring ...

Features Creep, Part 2 - Blog comment by lkessler - 18 Oct 2013
If I could figure out a good way of enabling plug-ins in Behold, I'll definitely do that. I'm keeping my eyes open for ways to do that in Delphi and the way Behold is programmed.
What may be more possible is that the future database Behold will use will likely by SQLite (same database as RootsMagic, but the ...

Random Tidbits - Blog entry by lkessler - 17 Oct 2013
Haven’t had a blog post in over a month. Better post one. Missed Behold target release dates (again). Better update them. I guess I’ve been very busy with Life, the Universe and Everything. My 8 page Software Reviews article has been published in the Family Tree Tracker magazine. I’m speaking on Saturday ...

Missed target releases - Forum post by lkessler in Questions and Answers - 26 Sep 2013
Will,
Thanks for asking. I'll have to blog something soon. Life has been very busy for me recently with a lot of personal and family stuff going on that has slowed me down (including building a fence). An article I wrote for an Australian genealogy magazine on genealogy software will be published next month, ...

Features Creep, Part 2 - Blog entry by lkessler - 8 Sep 2013
I’m pleased I was able with my last post to goad James Tanner into responding: Respond? Who Me? Of Course. I do respect his writings. He writes how he thinks and always makes great points and does not demand that everybody agree with him. I thought he did a fabulous job as a last-minute fill-in keynote ...

Features Creep is NOT the Problem - Blog entry by lkessler - 7 Sep 2013
James Tanner, in his blog post Genealogy Programs and Features Creep discusses a problem with computer programs, operating systems, smartphones, cars, and for that matter, every commercial product in our society. He gives many examples of the problem and each time incorrectly identifies the problem as ...

GEDCOM 5.5EL - Forum post by lkessler in Questions and Answers - 5 Sep 2013
Klemens,
Thank you for the link to those files. I've now added them to my test suite for Behold.
The _LOC records that are at level 0 should not be giving Undefined Records. I have tested only a few GEDCOM 5.5EL files since I haven't been able to find very many of them. And those were extremely simple ones. For ...

UTF-8 with BOM does not display right - Forum post by lkessler in Report a Problem - 5 Sep 2013
Klemens,
Yes, I can replicate the problem. Thank you for pointing it out.
I did some debugging and I think I've found the mistake I made.
It was bit dumb on my part. This was my checking code:
else if GedcomCharsetUsed = 'UTF-8' then begin
CharConvert := ConvertUTF8;
