What might be a temprary alternative to Behold - Forum post by lkessler in General Discussion - 29 Nov 2014
Arnold,
That's a very good question.
Whatever program you use, I would suggest you pick one that will export to its GEDCOM every single item it allows you to enter on any of its forms. The test would be to put some dummy data into every possible input field (maybe use the name of the input field so you can ...

Date validation - case sensitive - Forum post by lkessler in Report a Problem - 29 Nov 2014
Arnold,
I think I've flip flopped again back to Tamura's view and your view. Despite my doubts about this, I think I'm going to have to allow any case in the line value without giving a warning message.
This is extra work for the programmer implementing GEDCOM, because the line value case must be retained for ...

Add version to behold-setup.exe - Forum post by arnold in Feature Suggestions - 28 Nov 2014
When trying to get a new version it would be helpful if you could add the version to behold-setup-xx.yy.exe
and/or into the setup executable properties so they will show when one hovers the mouse over the install file

Log file has problems with reporting problems with UTF-8 .ged - Forum post by arnold in Report a Problem - 28 Nov 2014
After about 4 days of fighting with the hardware (& likely the software - I hate MsMpEng.exe) I am sort of up again.
The problem is always that some (important) things were not backed up, because the only time you find out they should have been backed up is when they weren't :-(
Glad you were able to ...

Log file has problems with reporting problems with UTF-8 .ged - Forum post by lkessler in Report a Problem - 27 Nov 2014
Arnold,
I found the problem. When the BOM and the Character set used mismatch, I have to do a conversion. I did not do the conversion on the full input line, but just to the extracted parts of the line. So the input line was still incorrect when displayed in the error message. I've now fixed it so that the ...

Log file has problems with reporting problems with UTF-8 .ged - Forum post by lkessler in Report a Problem - 26 Nov 2014
Arnold,
Thank you for adding the PS. I find I can now recreate the problem as it does occur with a UTF-8 file that does not have a BOM. Now you don't have to send me anything. I'll work to fix it now.
Louis
p.s. I hate computer problems. I hope yours get solved without you losing anything significant.

Log file has problems with reporting problems with UTF-8 .ged - Forum post by arnold in Report a Problem - 26 Nov 2014
OK, I,ll do that - once I recover the use of my work machine which is suffering from disk malfunction :-(
It'll take me a day or two
PS: the gedcom does NOT have a BOM, even though it is UTF-8 encoded, in case that will help in the meantime

Log file has problems with reporting problems with UTF-8 .ged - Forum post by lkessler in Report a Problem - 25 Nov 2014
Thanks, Arnold, for reporting this. But I can't reproduce the problem. When I try copying your long line you show above into a UTF-8 GEDCOM file, it doesn't happen for me. The log file is fine.
That may be because when you copied the line to this forum, your browser converted it to Unicode and it became a ...

FWIW, the text in the main 'Everything window IS displayed properly.
