Hello, all, Can one search for people lacking a certain tag? For example, men without a military service tag or people born before 1900 or 1920 who do not have a died tag? Is that possible? As ever, thanks. Sam

The simplest would be to run a List of People report with a filter based on the ADOPTED Flag like: ADOPTED =Equals Y END This assumes that you have either set the Flag manually or that you added an Adoption Tag which automatically sets the Flag.

Thanks, Thana. I will try that. But I know that I can't find the right border of the the Name column no matter how far I drag it to the right. I know what you mean about column lines being on top of each other and will explore that when I get home. Have a great day!

Kaye, Are your columns set too wide? I have the Arrow, Birth, Death, Siblings, Sex and Spouse. There is a line between each of these. You may have compressed the lines on top of each other and lost the column. Editing the heading works the same as other headings. If you hover over the line a cross appears and you can move the line - you may be able to separate them if they are compressed. Thana

Kaye - I have not found any way yet to change the visible fields in the sibling window either. It just always has had the full set of info like the child window for me and I have found no place to add or delete columns. OTOH, thanks to your input, with Terry and Linda chipping in, we can now get the desired spouse to appear in the sibling window. So easy when you know how! Thanks to all.

Bruce, The results are not random. As Linda says, the spouse that appears in the Children and Siblings windows is the "last viewed spouse." But this term has a very specific meaning. It means the last spouse in the Family or Tree views. To change which spouse it is, make the person with multiple spouses the focus of either the Family or Tree view in the Details window. Then click the Next button at the lower left corner of that window until the desired spouse is displayed. When you return to your regular view that spouse will appear in the Children or Sibling window. If you are wondering, no, I don't know how it gets set initially if you haven't used the Tree or Family view. I'd guess it has to do with the order in which the spouses were added to the Project.

My understanding is that the most recently viewed spouse is the one shown in that window. So if you've been looking at/working with spouse 3 most recently - then you'll see spouse 3 listed - but if you then view or work with spouse 1, then next time you'll see spouse 1 listed.

In TMG V 9.05, we would like to control which of several spouses is shown in the Siblings window on a standard focus person's page. Our results seem to be almost random, but do not change once they appear. Standard maintenance tasks change nothing. If the sibling is set as the focus person, all spouses appear properly with full chronology, and as such we have not yet resorted to use of a Sort Date as suggested in one of Terry Reigel's many fine tips. For us, this is only an on-screen issue as we have not progressed to the point of using any reporting features so far, and screen shots are the only output at this time. As an example, we cannot make my Brother-in-law's current spouse show up in the spouse location when we have my wife set as the focus person and he shows up as a sibling. Similarly, we have a cousin who has had 3 wives, and only the middle one will show up as a spouse in the sibling window. In all cases, looking at these and other relatives as the focus person shows full and correct data for their various marriages. Although the listed spouse does not seem to change for a given sibling, we have seen first, last, or intermediate spouses being listed in the sibling window. Setting a particular spouse to primary appears to have no effect. Is there a way to control this? Bruce Lightfoot

It was designed for photographic images where some loss in precise detail would be masked by the brain and optical system. To put it in very rough perspective: JPEG is the computer storage equivalent of the Impressionist School in counter to the Realist School. In return for the loss of fine detail, JPEG produces smaller files which can be transferred faster over the Internet. Currently, there are three common formats for Internet images: JPEG for small files of photographic subjects (continuous variation in shading, etc.); Compuserve GIF (limited color palette -- 256 distinct colors can be defined for a GIF file; GIF files are useful for drawings in which only a few colors are used and no shading is needed; within that limit, no details are lost); PNG (created back when GIF was laden down with an onerous Compuserve license; designed to be "the" network graphics format as could handle full-color photos yet retain all details). Some special cases may have SVG (a vector drawing format). BMP doesn't even come into consideration -- among other things, the name means different things to different people (Amiga IFF images were normally ILBM -> InterLeaved BitMap; UNIX world originally used BitMap to mean a single bit-depth [B/W] image often used to define masks for windows. For long term storage of images which may need editing at some point the common recommendation is to use TIFF formats (there are variations, some compressed, some not). For presentation on-line, one then batch converts the TIFF files into JPEG. I tend to keep my masters in PhotoShop PSD --> with the knowledge that I have at least one computer on which I could batch convert to TIFF should I suddenly learn that PhotoShop and PSD will become extinct. -- bieber.genealogy@earthlink.net Dennis Lee Bieber HTTP://home.earthlink.net/~bieber.genealogy/

Ann, You said: > I understand that many TMG users create different formats in different > folders but I'm trying to avoid, or at least minimise, multiple formats for the > same exhibits. Others posted responses why they use "multiple formats for the same exhibits" as noted in your original post. For example, as others posted, I save the original scan in highres, lossless TIF format for the purpose to go back to later on and a second edited copy. Others noted that they create further copies for use for TMG and SS. Not said, but worth explaining a bit further, is that copies for TMG and SS may be two separate images, because there is an option to use an alternative SS images folder... if you choose to do so. For general printing purposes (withour getting to deep in the weeds) for printing "one to one" size, that an image of 220 - 300 dpi works well and for website, general monitor viewing than an image of approx. 95 dpi works well. So, hopefully, you see that if you save images as TMG exhibits where they may be printed (or not?) you may consider saving a copy in TMG Exhibits as 220-300 dpi (or for sending out to relatives that may want to "print." On the other hand, a website (on internet or CD/DVD) works well with lower dpi (so, for 6,000 exhibits, saving huge storage requirements) 95 dpi. So, for an example of the above use for TMG and SS, I have an original "TIF" scan (large size) and another edited "TIF" size copy. Then, I make a copy of the edited "TIF" for TMG as a "jpg" downsized to 300 dpi. Then, I put a copy in SS alternative image folder and downsize it to 95 dpi. For a real-life example of above, one of my TMG death certificate exhibits is 4.3 MB and the SS version is 220 KB. The difference when doing the math is that the SS version is approx. 20 times smaller. Where you mentioned having 6,000 exhibits, there is an obvious advantage in using in your words, " different formats in different folders.

I find image backups to be essential. This type of backup need not be done very often to be worthwhile, so long as one has data files backed up separately. I've used my image backups very rarely, but when I've needed them, the alternative would have been: Reformat C:, reinstall Windows, reinstall all applications, try to remember and reset all preferences. Hmm. 30-90 minutes to restore an image backup (including fixing whatever caused the problem, e.g. replacing a failed drive), or 30-90 DAYS before I get my settings right and can actually do work. Tough choice. Rick Van Dusen On 6/30/2015 8:07 AM, David A. Coats via wrote: : : Fortunately, I > had an image backup of my computer, and was able to restore the system > from that.

Thanks very much Lee and Bruce for these thoughts. You can imagine how big the task of creating jpgs from my bmp and tiff files would be, but the point about load speed is esp valuable. (I should have said that I'm not going to create a Second Site website. My plan is just to use Second Site to create a family journal on dvd (not in the cloud) and provide to family members.) The other issue I haven't calculated yet is whether my family journal will even fit on a dvd with all the exhibits. I suspect I will have to break it into parts and make a number of dvds, but will start doing some testing. Have a long way to go before it will be ready to finalise (18 months+) Bruce, what program do you use to create high quality jpg images? I'm scanning images at the moment so they're just being produced with the Canon software.

This can make slow the loading of a web page. >I understand that many TMG users create different formats in different >folders but I'm trying to avoid, or at least minimise, multiple formats >for the same exhibits. Most users keeping multiple formats keep the original file in a :master" folder. Then as a file is worked on to make a "use" file (for whatever purpose, the edited file is then stored in the normal TMG Exhibits folder (or comparable for some other program). I tend to keep all my original image files in one folder (with some sub-folders). Then, I copy the files to TMG (or wherever) in the edited and other (if desired ) format. >However my recollection is that John Cardinal has suggested using jpgs >for Second Site. Is this essential and what problems might I have if I >try to use bmps? Should I just scan as jpgs to start with and forget >the bmps? BMP (and other formats such as TIF) are what is called "lossless" formats. That is, repeated editing does not reduce the file resolution. JPG, GIF (and other) formats are "lossy" formats which tend to lose file resolution as they are edited. Most concerned users try to maintain their "master" files in a "lossless" format (again fairly large files) and work files in smaller "lossy" formats. As noted earlier, the larger image files in web pages tend to make loading a web page slower. For users with high speed broadband Internet connections, this is not usually that big a deal (depending on the number of images on the page maybe 30 seconds or more). But for someone on a dial-up connection (there are still some) or a smartphone (with limited data minutes), it can mean extra bucks for them. Now, that being said, if the intent is to allow the web page reader to download the image(s) with the intent of expanding the image to say 8x10, a small JPG or GIF file is not likely to be satisfactory as the expanded image will probably be somewhat blotchy looking at best. >To put this into context the Second Site output I am working towards >will be for around 6,000 people (all descendants of 1 couple) and the >exhibits will probably be around the same number. With that many exhibits, the web site will be fairly large in size and again slow to download. Also, most will not be interested in large high resolution images (the few that are can easily e-mail and ask for the few they wish -- assuming you wish to accommodate them). Lee Hoffman/KY

Wouldn't a utility like PICSIZER do this job more easily? It can change format of all the files in a folder with one command and store them in the same, or a different, folder, and can also change them to a uniform size if you want that. It's free. I've depended on it for years. ....Betty On 7/1/2015 9:08 AM, Lee Hoffman/KY via wrote: > At 7/1/2015 01:37, you wrote: >> Bruce, what program do you use to create high quality jpg images?

Hello all I'm scanning all the certificates and documents I obtained in the UK recently on a research trip and am wondering (again, still .) about the pros and cons of bmp versus jpg for TMG and Second Site. All my exhibits are external. Is there any downside to using bmps as TMG exhibits? (I have over 16,000 exhibits at the moment and growing fast) I understand that many TMG users create different formats in different folders but I'm trying to avoid, or at least minimise, multiple formats for the same exhibits. However my recollection is that John Cardinal has suggested using jpgs for Second Site. Is this essential and what problems might I have if I try to use bmps? Should I just scan as jpgs to start with and forget the bmps? To put this into context the Second Site output I am working towards will be for around 6,000 people (all descendants of 1 couple) and the exhibits will probably be around the same number. Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated Ann

Just to add a little different thought process. Never in my wildest dreams do I think I will ever use ALL my images (census, land records, tombstones or even all the pictures of people) as exhibits in TMG or in the SS Image Galleries. I scan everything as tiffs and keep in master files organized by family and type of image (except for Census' which are in their own category). When I want to use an image of any sort as an exhibit, I export or save it as a jpg to my Exhibit folder which holds all my TMG exhibits and/or in Image folders for SS Image Galleries. I have established the size and resolutions I want for each type of use and set them upon conversion to jpg. I happen to use Adobe Lightroom. I'm sure other programs will allow this also. I scan as tiffs in order to get the largest amount of detail and pixels so I can copy, edit, enhance or crop without losing quality. In LR you never actually change your original, so my master/negative stays intact and I make the jpg out of the processed image. I can crop in several different ways, enhance or edit and then the jpg goes into the Exhibit folder or SS Image Gallery folders at the size and resolution I want. I NEVER want to edit my original. I want it in a safe place like we used to keep film negatives so it can be used or edited over and over again without loss of quality.
