The RootsTech 2014 Call for Presentations is now accepting presentation proposals until July 8. From those proposals, speakers will be selected to present at RootsTech 2014 from February 6-8 in Salt Lake City. I really enjoyed RootsTech 2012 when I went. They did not accept me as a speaker for that, but I was ...

Source Based Document Organization - Blog comment by lkessler - 11 Jun 2013
Sue,
That is a very technical and detailed blog post. Almost too detailed for me to figure out. :-)
But I understand what you're saying and I very much agree. Store from whence it came.

Source Based Document Organization - Blog entry by lkessler - 9 Jun 2013
You may have noted my thinking that source-based data entry is the best way to enter your genealogy data … even though there are few if any programs that currently support doing it that way. What I have also believed and may have posted elsewhere, but have never blogged about until now, is that you should ...

UI improvements - Forum post by lkessler in Feature Suggestions - 2 Jun 2013
hsm: Fixed up your typos for you. I wish I could allow 5 minute edits into posts. I have attempted to add that to my forums adapting some AJAX plugins, but I haven't been able to get any to work smoothly yet.

5.5.1 compliant GEDCOM file - Forum post by lkessler in General Discussion - 2 Jun 2013
Yes, the difficulty in checking GEDCOM is that what is valid in one version is not necessary in another. And the specs are not unambiguous and miss things in their specifications.
The bigger problem occurs when a program writes GEDCOM 5.5 and says it is 5.5.1 or vice versa.

UI improvements - Forum post by lkessler in Feature Suggestions - 1 Jun 2013
hsm:
1. To load the last file, I always click on the Open icon drop down and select the first file listed. I personally find that easy and quick.
2. Well Behold does have a Reload command under the Organize menu, which is the icon with the "R" in it. But I set it up so that it is inactive until you reorganize ...

Thanks for that info, hsm. After I add full GEDCOM checking to Behold, it should catch these errors and more.

Behold Version 1.0.5.1 - Blog entry by lkessler - 26 May 2013
I made a few small fixes to version 1.0.5 that I released a few days ago. Most of you won’t notice anything different. Note that if you already installed version 1.0.5 and use “Check Online for New Version” on the File Menu, it will not find version 1.0.5.1. That is unfortunately a remnant from the beta ...
