I also use PHPGedView and I notice that the date of the imported GEDCOM generated from KKPro is never set correctly - only the year is displayed. Could this issue be related? - I've never managed to work out the reason.

Well, I certainly think that it's a good idea to make notes in a separate spreadsheet so that you can review the relevance of the data collected at home later. But I still would like to have available my complete set of genealogical data to guide my research when at the office. I usually prepare for...

I was thinking of buying a netbook as a means of taking my complete set of genealogical data to Record Offices and recording stuff while there. Does anyone have experience of running KKPro with such a small display (typically about 10 inches)? Netbooks are generally less capable than laptops, having...

I still have some problems with how best to use layers. I find them most useful in defining family groups, say from one parish or locality. That said, I don't like the inability to navigate outside the selected layer. For my purposes, it would be more useful if instead of defined layers, it were pos...

That looked really interesting but when I visited the site I got a McAfee Site Advisor red warning with the explanation "When we tested this site we found links to softdll.com, which we found to be a distributor of downloads some people consider adware, spyware or other potentially unwanted programs...

Well, that was a misunderstanding on my part - I thought it referred to the process of converting data from the KKPro2 format to the KKPro3 format. I haven't done any merging yet. That's a relief - I didn't fancy checking the 600 families and 2500 people for source errors.

I've just been prompted to download the latest bugfix release for KKPro3 which is 3.0.4, and I note that it is intended to fix the problem of wrongly-associated sources in imported databases. Can you tell me how extensive the problem is? I have imported a database from KKPro2 and have done some work...

I think the idea of 'clans' or groups of families is much more in line with what layers actually does and may be better named as such. One of the problem I have met in working with these 'layers/groups' is that they have definite edges. Thus if you select a child in a family on the edge of a layer/g...

I find no logic in the idea of layers applied to a genealogical chart. Essentially it seems to have just two dimensions to my mind. I would be interested in the thoughts of others, but I have only used layers to highlight a temporary selection of families while working on them. For example, using 's...

I find that the option for the display the marriage date in family rectangles is a useful guide to navigation around a large database. However, I've noticed that nothing is displayed if the marriage date is filled with a text string. That's not surprising, but a problem for me since I use text to re...

Whoops! Sorry, cancel that - senior moment. I forgot to create a parent family - it all works properly

I seem to have a problem in getting a second marriage to register correctly on the main display, as follows. I have the Person Details window open and right-click in the marriages box, intending to add a second marriage to a previous marriage. The Family Details box appears and I fill in details of ...

When I use the 'select person to edit' window, I can select a person and go to the Person Details form as normal. However, when I use the 'show relationship' tool which opens this same window, I get an error message which says 'Table 1: Field 'Description' not found' when trying to select the first ...

Another minor issue, where behaviour seems to have changed between V2 and V3, is that when you open successively the 'Select Person/Family to edit' window, KKPro no longer remembers where you were, but instead returns to the top of the list. I would prefer it to remember where I was - many times my ...

When I paste text into the Notes window on the family entry form and then immediately open the large Edit window the pasted text does not appear. To get the text to appear, I have to click the accept button. In V2, as I recall, the pasted text was immediately visible for editing. This is only a mino...
