.ged file opening issue

[polciri]

 

Hello,

I don’t know wether this is the right place for my question.. but with my best whishes to all of you for 2021, can you please consider what I am facing :

 

• Using GrampsAIO64-4.2.8-1 on PC, which provides my .ged file
• On PC, the file is not hidden ,has not write/read protected
• Tryng to import that file with « Family Gem » that runs on  my tablet (.ged file has been transfered on tablet first)
• The app returns EACCESS Error  (permission denied)

 

Thank you for any view/help

B.R.

Hi Paolo,

The steps you described are correct.

Maybe you need to grant Family Gem the "storage" permission?

Settings > Apps > Family Gem > Permissions > Storage

Another solution is to put the .ged file into the app "external" storage:
/Android/data/app.familygem/files/

Family Gem can always read from there.

Anyway I refactored the GEDCOM import process to be more reliable.
