Minor bug in Default Format

[Jim Eggert]

In the Default format, in an Individual window, in the Individual pane or the All pane, in the Spouses section, the + sign before a child's name is supposed to indicate whether that child has descendants. But it only looks at the child's first marriage; if there are multiple marriages, the second and following marriages are ignored.

This is easily fixed by editing the Default format. In FAMS Editing (under Tag Editing), change

! set an expression to display this name and add "+" if there
! are ancestors
sub NameWithDescendants,#chil
cell LinkButton
RecordLink #chil
TextExpression @#chil.NAME
AppendedExpression altview
if @#chil.FAMS.CHIL!=""
Format "+%@"
endif
set font "Hyperlink Text"
set border no alignment left
sizetofit -1
help local("Click to view child's record")
endsub

to

! set an expression to display this name and prepend "+" if there
! are descendants
sub NameWithDescendants,#chil
cell LinkButton
RecordLink #chil
TextExpression @#chil.NAME
AppendedExpression altview
RepeatWith "#famly" from @#chil.FAMS
if @#famly.CHIL!=""
Format "+%@"
endif
EndRepeat
set font "Hyperlink Text"
set border no alignment left
sizetofit -1
help local("Click to view child's record")
endsub

Note there are two changes:
1. Comment changed to refer to descendants, not ancestors, and to use the cool word "prepend".
2. Put test for children inside a loop over families.

Hello all,

After a computer crash GedITcomII asks for it's registration key again.
Can this somehow be recovered from a backup, or should I use my innocent
blue eyes to ask John for a new registration key?

Regards,

Ronald Hellenbrand.

Jim,

I am close to posting a new version. If you want ot try a beta it is at

http://www.geditcom.com/GCBeta.html

i just updated for issue you mentioned in old email. I added another feature too when a child has not children, but does have a spouse, the name is preceded with a minus sign, so "+" indicate children in at least one marriage while "-" indicates no children but at least one documented spouse.
