GEDCOM export
Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 3:08 pm
Hi Nick,
The GEDCOM help file says:-
"File:
This is the normal setting and should be used for transferring data to any system not mentioned below.
Kith and Kin Pro:
Use this setting if the GEDCOM file will be imported back into Kith and Kin Pro. This allows the program to include special data which can only be read by Kith and Kin Pro."
I am exporting a GEDCOM file which includes notes, to be imported to a none Kith&KinPro database. If I select [File:] as the Receiving System, notes are exported without the description field. If I select [Kith and Kin Pro:] as the Receiving System, notes are exported which include the description field. Is this a GEDCOM feature or is it a change in release 3 of Kith&KinPro ? What is so special about the description field of a note for GEDCOM not to include it? If it cannot be included with the note, could the help file be more specific about what is the "special data" that is not included.
