Are there any reports that list the findagrave memorial number? Or are there any plans to add it to reports? Picked up version 7 because it included findagrave, but don't find it in reports. Don't know if I've added it unless I check each person for it. thank you Gin ----- Original Message ----- From http://www.bkwin.net/changes7.htm: the FindAGrave button was added at version 7.2.7, around 2017-5-16/17, so you should have it in version 7.3. For me, no it doesn't just appear if I search for it (I never have): it's in the Edit screen, on the Event/Fact tab. It - a button and a box you can put the number in - is about level with the "Male" of the Male/Female/Unknown buttons, but over to the right. If you click the button for someone where the box is empty (which it is unless you've put something in it), it still opens the FindAGrave site in your browser, just not on any particular memorial.

To J P Gilliver If you see what you want on the list of pictures, tap the down arrow key and select the file with its extension. Then press Enter to select it. I will change the default to .jpg in the next update. The program has a list of picture file types, and it was defaulting to the .tga one if you did not give an extension. But I will change the order of the list so it defaults to .jpg in the future. John Steed ________________________________ From: Dale H.

And JS has added a global "change path" function for picture and media files; while that's very clunky compared to accepting - and using - _relative_ paths, it does at least make it _possible_ to move/copy a database (or just its pictures and media files) to a different location.

(And what I'm asking about is true whatever directory/folder you're looking in.) To demonstrate: 1. Put a picture file - it can be of your cat if you want! - in whatever folder you like, including the default one. But ensure the part of the filename before the dot (period) is unique in that folder. Let's say the picture file is called "cat.jpg". 2. In BK, click "Add Picture". The file selection window opens. If you didn't put it in the default folder for your database, navigate to the folder you did put it in. 3. Still in the file selection window, ensuring the cursor is in the filename box, press the following four keys in sequence: C, A, T, Enter. When you type C, all the files in the folder whose name begins with C will appear in a drop-down list. When you then type A, that list will be reduced to only the files whose name begins with CA. When you then type T, the drop-down list should just show the one file, cat.jpg. When you press the Enter key, the file selection window will disappear, and the filename CAT.TGA (prepended with the correct path) will appear in the BK grid of filenames. 4. Switch to another person in BK, then come back to the person you tried to attach cat.jpg to (and select the Pictures tab if not on it, and use the long thin ">" button if necessary to bring the file into view, if you already have more than four [or whatever] pictures attached to that person]). You will get a message "file ...cat.TGA not found". I was just asking if there's somewhere I can change the default picture filetype from .TGA (a filetype I am unfamiliar with). > >-----Original Message----- >From: J. P.

Subject: [BK] Re: Converted from 6.6 to 7.3, have questions Well, I solved one problem, found the answer reading the archives. Now I have the Findagrave button and box on my Edit screen. The screen has to be 1024 x 768 or the button won't show, and I normally use a smaller screen size.

Today, I upgraded from BK 6.6 to 7.3 on my Windows 8.1 Pro laptop. Everything seemed to go well, but I can't find some items I expected. I had created my own unique Findagrave event called FAG and added the Memorial #. It isn't in 7.3 to choose from Add Event from the Edit page. When I type F multiple times when adding an Event, FindaGrave doesn't show up as a choice. I do see it in the Alphabetical Report list as FindaGrave Memorial. The memorial # is still showing up on the people where I had added it in 6.6 as my custom field FAG. I had created my own unique Misc event to add miscellaneous notes to myself "in my face", like "may be wrong parents". I had created my own unique DNA event, and see that DNA is a new event type in 7.3, along with the Y-DNA, mtDNA, and atDNA which is great, but will my custom DNA come forward and populate into the new DNA event in 7.3? It appears that it did, at least, I still show the DNA line on my father's screen. Is there an easy way to find the custom events I added to 6.6? I may have found it, not sure. On custom Reports, Alphabetical, on Fields to Include, my custom events seem to be #268-279. Do I need to add these custom events to 7.3 and re-convert my 6.6 database? I expected a Findagrave button "somewhere" on 7.3 and a way to add my Findagrave memorial number on the edit screen, but I don't see an event nor a button. Do these items only show up after I search the memorial # from the Find screen? So I tried the Word Search, and put a known relative's FindaGrave memorial # in the FindAGrave box, then clicked Make List to Edit, then did it again clicking Create Report, and the response both times was No match found. So I have no clue how to use this box. Any help appreciated.

For marriage after 1900 wifes in Scandinavian did adopt the Familyname of her husband and not always and they did alkso changed names And in census before 1910 a person might have many different name, so all those names are entered to Alternatiive names. If not the search for persons becomes a masssssss. :) --- hilsen/regards Otto -#- Den 10.02.2019 16:23, skrev Jim Dell via BK: > (So database compare is another thing, to go with searches, that it might > break, even if the nickname is in the middle.) > > Not really BK-specific, but it sounds like nickname - or generic alternative > name - is something that really needs adding to gedcom. > Though I get the impression that the standard is now somewhat fossilised, > and unlikely to develop much if at all, in the near future anyway. > -- > J.

I always put the birth name in the name Field and all other in the Alternative names. We also telle the users to do the same and the Helpfile <F1> has the recommodation as well.

Thanks Jimmy. Hadn't thought of that. I will bear it in mind before making changes. I only need to do this with maybe a dozen entries to easily differentiate between them without having to check alternative names. Don't usually like having nicknames in the names field.

(So database compare is another thing, to go with searches, that it might break, even if the nickname is in the middle.) Not really BK-specific, but it sounds like nickname - or generic alternative name - is something that really needs adding to gedcom. Though I get the impression that the standard is now somewhat fossilised, and unlikely to develop much if at all, in the near future anyway. -- J. P. Gilliver.
