Some questions

[JNG]

First, let me say "thanks for making a nice little utility program".  I have over 100,000 people in my Gedcom file and it loaded fine (although it took a while [as you would expect loading a 62MG gedcom]).

Second, some questions:

1. In the descendant chart, why are some of the spouse surnames in a reddish font rather than black?  (Is it because that person does not have a "marriage record" in my file?)

2. In the descendant chart, why are some people's entire entry highlighted in yellow?  (Is it because that person appears somewhere else in the printout?)

3. I bought the upgrade.  But when I print to PDF, the file is "waternarked" with the name of the program.  Is that supposed to happen?

Again, this will be a really handy program for me.  It was well worth the $8.99 I spent to unlock the full version.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks.

Yes; persons with no marriage record (as opposed to an existing marriage
record with no date or place) appear by default in red, but you can
change this in the "color" pane. Either uncheck "use color to indicate
person's conjugal status", or change the color for "no marriage" to
black.

Yes, these are called implexes. By default, the descendants of these
people are only shown once, because these duplicate branches can
considerably increase the length of large family trees. You can disable
the yellow highlight by unchecking "highlight implexes" in the implexes
pane, and you can also disable "automatically collapse duplicate
branches" if you wish.

My guess would be that you inadvertently bought the basic package
instead of the extended one. Which product appears in your Mac App Store
receipt? What happens if you open again the "purchase additional
features" item, in the application menu?

Thanks for the responses and thanks again for developing such a helpful program. It’s exactly what I needed to help me with a major project on my database.

I really like the options discussed in items 1 and 2 below. They will be helpful to me as a I try to clean up my database. Feature 1 especially will help me know which people I need to add marriage records to.

And, the program is working fine now. I tried to restore the purchase and got an error that said to delete the app and download it again. After doing that, no more watermarking. So all is well.

Thanks.
