    1. [BK] Re: more thoughts on Locations: perhaps a non-location generic Event?
    2. John Steed
    3. To J P Gilliver The event called "Event" expects a location. You can make your own custom fact (with a description) by picking from the top menu Add, Custom Fact for Individual. You just can not use the exact spelling of any existing event or fact, so you can not have a fact called Event but you can have a fact called Awarded or something else. I am sorry I can not make different colors on the grid. However, when viewing the grid, Events have the word IN before the location. Facts do not have the word IN before the Description.

Again from looking through my list of Locations, I found Awarded outstanding citizen award Awarded M. B. E. among the "Location"s. Fortunately, I knew where these were (my grandmother was quite a character), but it makes me wonder: could we please have a generic "Event" type that _doesn't_ treat what's in that column as a location? For this case, adding an "Awarded" or "Award" or "Honour" (or "Medal", but that doesn't cover where there is no actual medal) would suffice, but I don't want to be so specific - people will still want to add events that don't fit into any existing event type, but have the details of the event visible from the edit screen. (I could have - and have, for the above - moved the description into the Notes for that event, but then they're not visible on the edit screen, which IMO is not ideal. I find it difficult to remember which event types consider that column to be a location: it's obvious for some, like Born, but not for others (I found "American citizen" in my Location list - it had come from a "Naturalization" event, IIRR). Ideally, the text or background of that column would be in a different colour when it is (or isn't) a location, but that's not going to happen with the current creaky graphics engine (see discussion a few months back about colour-coding the source column to indicate minimum quality).

    3. To Jim Dell I guess you did not pick the option to search for only one location name. That is on the "Other Options" tab. Or else, perhaps you had a bad location that was just a couple letters long, like TH In that case finding all locations with TH would give you a lot. Here is a hint for cases like that: If you ever get a strange case of a location that is only 1 or 2 letters long, and you are trying to find who has that location, then before you use the Locations with Events routine to find it, go first to "File, Locations, Change Location Globally." Then type the bad location name and put that on the top line. So if the location is just two letters TH then put that on the top line. Then on the bottom line, change it to something that no other location has, like XYZ Then the routine will change the one bad location with common letters to a new name with uncommon letters. After that is done, you can use the Locations with Events and search for only location XYZ and it should find it easily.

However, _finding_ it wasn't easy.

    3. To J P Gilliver It is complicated to program a way to move the source and event notes, from an Event to a Fact. The source needs to be changed to point to a different record number in a different file, and some other things need to be changed also. Yes, I can program it if you give me enough time. I try to think of how common the problem is for users, and if it is a common problem, I spend the time to make a solution. If it is a rare problem for users, then I spend my time working on other things. I get lots of requests for new features, new reports, or ways to make things better. Most of those requests do not come from this BK mailing list, so you only see a few of them. I appreciate the suggestions, it helps make the program better. Your suggestion is on my list.

As described in my previous thread, I'd entered someone's Occupation, but as Ordination, in error. I changed the event type no problem - but (and not until quitting the person or doing certain other actions), I got a pop-up saying something like "event type has been changed from X to Y - link to source will be discarded", with options of only Cancel and OK; if Cancel is selected, the type change is also cancelled. Why does this happen? Surely entering the wrong event type isn't an uncommon action (especially events starting with the same letter, such as in English Ordination/Occupation, or Born/Baptised/Buried); I can't think why correcting the event type should make me want to discard the source. (In the meantime, here's how I've found to achieve such a change without having to retype the source, in case it helps others: if you get the popup, select cancel; click on the S for source, then View selected source [Alt-W], which puts it into the top of the recent sources list. Now change the event type, and click S again; you can then add recent source and page [Alt-N] or just recent source [Alt-V].

    3. To J P Gilliver If there is a strange location name, and you want to find what event has that location, then go to Lists, "Locations with Events". Then set the option for "Show all events" Then on the "Other Options" tab pick "Show only locations containing:" and type the location such as: Collier Then click Preview.

    1. [BK] more thoughts on Locations: perhaps a non-location generic Event?
    2. J. P. Gilliver (John)
    3. Again from looking through my list of Locations, I found Awarded outstanding citizen award Awarded M. B. E. among the "Location"s. Fortunately, I knew where these were (my grandmother was quite a character), but it makes me wonder: could we please have a generic "Event" type that _doesn't_ treat what's in that column as a location? For this case, adding an "Awarded" or "Award" or "Honour" (or "Medal", but that doesn't cover where there is no actual medal) would suffice, but I don't want to be so specific - people will still want to add events that don't fit into any existing event type, but have the details of the event visible from the edit screen. (I could have - and have, for the above - moved the description into the Notes for that event, but then they're not visible on the edit screen, which IMO is not ideal. I find it difficult to remember which event types consider that column to be a location: it's obvious for some, like Born, but not for others (I found "American citizen" in my Location list - it had come from a "Naturalization" event, IIRR). Ideally, the text or background of that column would be in a different colour when it is (or isn't) a location, but that's not going to happen with the current creaky graphics engine (see discussion a few months back about colour-coding the source column to indicate minimum quality).

    1. [BK] changing event type loses source: why?
    2. J. P. Gilliver (John)
    3. As described in my previous thread, I'd entered someone's Occupation, but as Ordination, in error. I changed the event type no problem - but (and not until quitting the person or doing certain other actions), I got a pop-up saying something like "event type has been changed from X to Y - link to source will be discarded", with options of only Cancel and OK; if Cancel is selected, the type change is also cancelled. Why does this happen? Surely entering the wrong event type isn't an uncommon action (especially events starting with the same letter, such as in English Ordination/Occupation, or Born/Baptised/Buried); I can't think why correcting the event type should make me want to discard the source. (In the meantime, here's how I've found to achieve such a change without having to retype the source, in case it helps others: if you get the popup, select cancel; click on the S for source, then View selected source [Alt-W], which puts it into the top of the recent sources list. Now change the event type, and click S again; you can then add recent source and page [Alt-N] or just recent source [Alt-V]. S then Alt-W is a good way in general of copying an existing source, as it copies it to the top of the "recent sources" list [complete with Page if any].)

    1. [BK] Re: Location list - forward but not back ...
    2. Barry PYCROFT
    3. Ok, Thanks, John S. I have not stopped to think that the option Select Person Edit screen was not the Alphabetical / Numerical display feature. My bad. The select person works well, thank you. I can scroll through all 4000 names from end to end - forwards & backwards with SURNAME order displaying forename, surname & BK Num. So we change the limit from 4000 to 1000. The purpose would be speed given a certain focus, I guess; - according to the data in the database. Q.- How does one scroll through the next set of 4000 names? How does one know the last person is not reached? Or that there is more to come?. Perhaps the user should be more focussed by selecting the first letter of each family name group? ====== -------- / / -------- ===== Scrolling the list Numerical Names display and Alphabetical names display and Locations (display) is acceptable WITHIN a 1000 line page (list box). Being able to go to a previous page would be a boon. For instance, in [List>locations,.] if I accidentally press the <End> key, the list shows the final group up to 1000, (15 in my case), I have to exit and restart, beginning right from the menu. Would it be sensible to cache the pages as they are first entered then recall those previous pages as prior names are needed for the display.? Actually, the problem manifests itself worse when a range of names is split,; say page n shows lastly PYCROFT A* to PYCROFT John and the page n+1 continuing from PYCROFT John to row 1000*. Clearly if there is doubt about PYCROFT John, or one accidentally mis-keys the scrolling then a restart of the feature is required; beginning right from the menu. Like John P.G. I cannot understand why such a restriction should exist. I have several programs using my BK data (transferred via gedcom) and I can scroll from one end to the other; including on my Samsung phone. Perhaps John S. that one could alphabetically select the first letter of the displayed list? That could allow one to stat a list at D, then T, then back to E, perhaps? (by way of example).. A list box of 1000 rows could then be selected with a first row, thereby covering any inconvenient split. The main issue behind this requirement is the need to locate or find an item that might be mis-spelled, or have unknown sequence of characters. Eg. Some surnames are bounded by / & / or even ( & ), or other unknown expectation. Thanks ...

To Barry Pycroft (and J. P. Gilliver) The "Select Person" screen is not the same as the Alphabetical Display screen. If you go to the Edit screen, and click the Find F3 button and then search for the name ? ? or else type * * It will show everyone, and will list up to 4000 names at a time. So the option to show only 1000 names on the Select Person screen is for that screen, not the Alphabetical Display listing. On the Select Person screen, it can slow down if you have the option set to put names in birth year order, so that I why I added that option for 1000 names at a time. OK, for the List, Alphabetical Display screen, I will try to increase the number of names that show at one time. I will also see if I can make a way to go backwards up the list. The main problem is that the "listbox" has a limit of how much it can show at one time. If I try to load too much, it gets an error. Also the "listbox" is designed to put things in the order that I give them. So while I can read the database backwards alphabetically, it is not easy to put them in the correct order on the screen when reading backwards. However, I will work on it some more and see if I can find a solution. Remember, instead of using the Alphabetical Display to find someone, if you know the last name, you can use the Select Person screen, and type part of the name. For example, to view everyone with a last name starting with N go to the Select person screen and type ? N* That is faster than scrolling down the Alphabetical List to the N's John Steed ________________________________ From: Barry PYCROFT <barry@pycroft.co.nz> Sent: Monday, January 14, 2019 9:37 AM To: bk@rootsweb.com Subject: [BK] Re: Location list - forward but not back ...

The annoyance is not being able to go pages back - Z-to-A. One can go forward & back through a page of 1000, but not the preceding page. Now you have said the Locations does the same thing. Yes. I have found that occurs with me also. There is a setting in [Menu item <Options>Edit screen 1>] that says {< limit the Select person list to 1000 names at a time.>}.

    2. John Steed
    3. To Barry Pycroft (and J. P. Gilliver) The "Select Person" screen is not the same as the Alphabetical Display screen. If you go to the Edit screen, and click the Find F3 button and then search for the name ? ? or else type * * It will show everyone, and will list up to 4000 names at a time. So the option to show only 1000 names on the Select Person screen is for that screen, not the Alphabetical Display listing. On the Select Person screen, it can slow down if you have the option set to put names in birth year order, so that I why I added that option for 1000 names at a time. OK, for the List, Alphabetical Display screen, I will try to increase the number of names that show at one time. I will also see if I can make a way to go backwards up the list. The main problem is that the "listbox" has a limit of how much it can show at one time. If I try to load too much, it gets an error. Also the "listbox" is designed to put things in the order that I give them. So while I can read the database backwards alphabetically, it is not easy to put them in the correct order on the screen when reading backwards. However, I will work on it some more and see if I can find a solution. Remember, instead of using the Alphabetical Display to find someone, if you know the last name, you can use the Select Person screen, and type part of the name. For example, to view everyone with a last name starting with N go to the Select person screen and type ? N* That is faster than scrolling down the Alphabetical List to the N's John Steed ________________________________ From: Barry PYCROFT <barry@pycroft.co.nz> Sent: Monday, January 14, 2019 9:37 AM To: bk@rootsweb.com Subject: [BK] Re: Location list - forward but not back ...

    3. To Nick Higton From the main BK screen pick Other, Unlinked Branches. It will tell you one person in each branch. It might not be the root person, but go to Edit and find that person and go back from there.
