I think I get it now Thanks a lot In my "Genealogy" folder, I have some 50 or 60 files with the "Primary name" and multiple extensions They must be files stretching back for years from the 4 or 5 previous versions of Bruce's programs that I have used I will now sort them by date, and move all the old ones into another temporary folder And see if RM6 still works (which it should) (I had not realized that RM4 replaced all those separate files with a single .rmgc file) Thanks again for all the help And the RM app seems to work fine Frost Prioleau On Tue, Dec 18, 2012 at 4:59 AM, Tom Holden <ve3meo@gmail.com> wrote: > Those other files having the same primary name but different extensions > are from RootsMagic 3 or earlier.

Those other files having the same primary name but different extensions are from RootsMagic 3 or earlier. RM4 replaced them with the single .rmgc file. Your Windows is set to hide the extensions of file types associated with an application.

Well - success! The file I copied to Dropbox had no extension, and was labeled "RootsMagic File" Among about 30 files with the same name, it had today's date; so I picked it It seems to work, as I get the RootsMagic presentation on my IPhone The other files had extensions like .CDX, .DBF, FPT, but had older dates I should probably delete all these, but thought they were in active use Thanks so much for your help Frost On Mon, Dec 17, 2012 at 8:18 PM, Tom Holden <ve3meo@gmail.com> wrote: > Using Win7, you could type the filename with extension, e.g., > myfamily.rmgc, > into the "Search programs and files" box adjacent to the Start button.

Using Win7, you could type the filename with extension, e.g., myfamily.rmgc, into the "Search programs and files" box adjacent to the Start button. It should find it after a while in Windows Explorer; hopefully you do not have two or more with the same name. Alternatively, you can click on Start > Computer to open Windows Explorer and starting with the drive letter you saw at the top of the RM window, follow the full path to the folder where the .rmgc file is stored and browse that folder to select the file. Ctrl-C to copy the file, find your Dropbox folder using Win Explorer, and paste the file into it (select and Ctrl-V). Or use right-click functionality to Copy and Paste.

The database file that RM opens and works on as does the RM app is the one with the .rmgc extension. The .rmgb backup file is a compressed ZIP file containing the .rmgc file; the RM app cannot unZIP it. So find your database file, not your backup file, and place it in DropBox or on your RM app in iTunes. there is nothing wrong with your install.

Your RM6 normally saves its file as an .rmgc file. That's the file you open with the iOS app. It's not a backup file.

Thanks I'm still not getting it How can you drag the operating file to Dropbox? It is fractured into multiple files Do we not drag over the single Backup file?

Okay, I've successfully installed the RootsMagic App for my iPod touch. It seems to work fine except when youselect someone to view their details, they are the first person listed under their siblings. For instance, my husband is listed as his own sibling. -- *Anne Kruszka Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, today is a gift.

Some time ago I mentioned on the list that RM6 had not yet managed to correct the problem I was having with displaying, or showing in a list, a large number of descendants. Well, I'm very happy to state that the latest update, 6.0.0.3, has corrected that problem! Incidentally,in case anyone is interested, the database I'm working with has 41,437 individuals and their spouses (25,253 direct) as descendants of my ancestor, Thomas Hoffpauir. -- Charlie Hoffpauir http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~charlieh/ Message board: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=surnames.hoffpauir Mail list: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/h/hoffpauir.html DNA project: <http://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?Group=Hoffpauir>

I no longer see the' Primary' selection either on the photos that display or that which does not. In other words I can see no difference, between the information on the windows screens which show for these photos, for this difference in display of personal info near the top of the screen Regards Jim Wem -----Original Message----- From: rootsmagic-users-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:rootsmagic-users-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Tom Holden Sent: 13 December 2012 16:25 To: rootsmagic-users@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [RMagic] Photo display It must be tagged to the Person, in addition to any fact or whatever, and that Person tag must be set as Primary.

I'm rather new to RM but if I understand the question 1. Highlight the desired photo 2. Click Tag Media 3.

Publisher is the tool for creating a book. Publish Online is the tool for creating and uploading a website so I changed the subject heading. You choose in the Publish Online settings whether to upload a GEDCOM to the website. If you do, then your website will have a link to download the GEDCOM. If you don't choose that setting, no GEDCOM and no link.

Does the RM6 Publisher allow the creator to restrict GEDCOM download?  I looked at the sample web site and there is a tab to download a GED.  I partially went through the process to create the webpages, but I did not see a way to select whether a GED download was allowed.   -- Randy Jones

I am unable to display a jpeg photograph of my g daughter on a RM window with her other details near the top of the screen even though I can get to it from the edit screen. I am using RM6.
