Gedcom
Census 6 has been released.
New features:
• For those who like to attach images to your sources, you no
longer have to link them at the end of the process, it can be done
at any time.
• As well as creating estimated birth events for those with no
birth record, Gedcom Census will now add birth date or birth place
to existing birth events if this information is missing.
• 1911 UK census entries can now be made.
• Census country can be quickly changed on the main screen without
the need to go into the options screen.
• Added another reference code to the Title Template option for
method 1: {KEYPERSON} will fill in the name of the first person
selected for the census. This may lead to some users no longer
needing to use the “Other Info” field.
• In the narrative description of an individual that is displayed
at the bottom of the main screen, Gedcom Census will now estimate
the age of the individual for before, after, between, from and to
dates as well as the standard dates previously dealt with.
• There is now an option to limit the number of backups of files
kept by Gedcom Census to an amount chosen by the user.
• The user now has the choice to select all the individuals first
and then enter their ages. Previously it was not possible to select
an individual until the previously chosen individual had their age
entered.
• There is now an option to cancel the loading of large GEDCOM
file.
• Gedcom Census no longer defaults to saving log files and backups
to the Gedcom Census installation folder (e.g. C:\Program
Files\Gedcom Census). Unless a different location is specified
within the options, the log and backup are saved to a folder in the
user documents (My Documents) called ‘Gedcom Census Backups and
Log’. This should help to ensure that Gedcom Census always works
with standard (non admin) user accounts and avoids the virtual
store being used in Vista.
• It is now possible to miss out the space after the comma when
typing the name of an individual into the “Find Individual” screen.
• If changes have been manually made to the “Full Text” field when
using recording method 1, then the user is now warned if these
edits will be lost due to a field change following the rules of the
full text template.
• Gedcom Census will now remember whether you previously had “Show
All” ticked and retain this setting between sessions.
• There are also various changes to the interface throughout the
program.
Bug fixes:
• When using auto-text, Gedcom Census would assume that the head
of household was married even if there were no marriage events for
the individual in question. This has now been fixed.
• If changes were made to the file outside of Gedcom Census then
any birth details entered before the reload were lost and had to be
re-entered. This has now been fixed so that these birth details are
retained.
• Gedcom Census didn’t handle people with names that had text after
the surname, e.g. Mary /Smith/ Bloggs.
• Fixed a problem where flag check would cause a crash if a census
event had a blank date.
