Sources not appearing - Categorized in: Report a Problem

Am I missing a magic bullet to have the sources appear? They don't appear when I click on the "Sources" in the Table of Contents and where there is supposed to be a source in the individual's summary, I get the @S036@ source identifier.

I just noticed that this is going to be implemented in version 0.93 - I can wait until then.

If you would like additional GEDCOM test files, I could give you a couple of generations of one of my lines that use sources. I use PAF, so the GEDCOM implementation should be fairly standard.

I converted from FTM, whose GEDCOM left a LOT to be desired, especially the handling of sources and occupations (they tend to put the occupation in the location tag for some reason).

I like how quickly you read in and process a GEDCOM file, very fast. Have you thought of maybe implementing a GEDCOM "pre-processor" (Like you need MORE work)? You could set it up with a checklist of things to change in the GEDCOM (like "Remove PAF Notes Indicators (PAF)", "Include blank lines in Notes (ALL)" and "Move Occupation location to description (FTM)" that people could just go down the list and check off what options they want? That would gie the user a little more control over GEDCOM processing and not force BEHOLD to try to come up with an impossible method of trying to keep users of all programs happy. That way, if the user doesn't select any options at all, the GEDCOM file is processed according to the GEDCOM specs.

Just a thought from a fellow programmer who wouldn't even attempt to write anyhting like BEHOLD.

I'm sending it now.
