That sounds like a bug - I will check it out. Here's how it is supposed to work:

- if the timeline entry is an action (comment, rating, whatever) on an ITEM, then the link from the timeline should be a link to that item's detail page.

- if the timeline entry is a status update, then the link is the detail page for that specific timeline entry where users can comment on that specific entry.

So it sounds like something is being overlooked in the first case here and I will check that out.

Thanks!

Yeah this is probably doable - it would just need an additional key to save what comment the comment was "in response" to. Definitely can add it to the to-do list as an option.

Thanks!

Gedcom Didn't Sync

Hmm - that really should not have happened - I will see if I can replicate that here.

For now, there's really only 2 ways to handle it:

- manually remove the duplicates
- delete the tree, create the tree, then re-import

I will let you know if I can spot the issue here.

Hope this helps!

Media Export

Genosis


Actually you would:

1) Export the Benson GEDCOM
2) Upload any media files from the Benson tree to the Media Archive
3) Import the Benson GEDCOM to the main tree

Note that I'm going to be adding the ability for you to "copy" (not merge) an existing tree into another tree - I've got other work that's ahead of it in my queue, but in the next couple weeks I should be able to develop that, and that would make it much easier for you.

Hope this helps!

Research Tab Question

Genosis


No problem - I actually use the research drop down all the time - it's pretty good for running quick searches on Ancestry and FamilySearch, as well as having a quick search into the census's.

Media Export

Genosis


So the important thing to know is that a GEDCOM file is simply a text file - there's no way to "include" any other files (images, whatever) inside the GEDCOM file - all it can do is have links to media files.

So that's what when you import a GEDCOM file you have to separately upload the media files using Genosis's import media archive - that makes it so when an import is going on, Genosis can grab the actual media file the GEDCOM is referencing.

Genosis doesn't have a media export function, since the assumption is that all the media is already on your PC and you upload it to Genosis - not the other way around.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Research Tab Question

Genosis


Basically it's just a "helper" - you need to be already logged in to Ancestry.com in another tab in your browser - then when you click on it will generate and create the search for you.

Ancestry.com does not have an API, so there's no way to "share" your login with other users.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Researcher Gedcoms

Genosis


No - she'd just need to email it you and you would import it - the tree import/export and creation is restricted to "master" users (which your account is). You could make her a "master" admin as well by modifying her user account (Admin -> Users -> User Accounts -> Tools -> User Browser) but then she'd have unlimited access to all areas of your system.

Hope this helps!
