If you don't already have it, download BBEdit - it has a free version that will do what you need. Open your GEDCOM file using BBEdit, and then press Command F to invoke the Find/Find & Replace dialogue box Here's the Find string to copy and paste 1 ([_A-Za-z]+) @N([0-9]+)@ Here's the Replace string to copy and paste 1 \1\r2 NOTE @N\2@ Make the entries as shown in each box, and make sure to check the Grep box Press Find - it will find the first occurrence that matches that Find string. Click Replace and watch it change 1 line into 2 lines. Do that a few times to convince yourself it knows what it's doing, and then click the Replace All button. In the blink of an eye the entire file will be changed. Roger

Thanks, Stores, for your reply. I appreciate your suggestions. This issue is not a big deal for me. I would just like to understand why the function does not work for me. Thus, I'm not inclined to go to all that trouble to re-set IDs, especially since that might have the effect of altering text reference notes I have made in my public site between unlinked individuals, and it would also alter search bot indexing that has already occurred. I DO enter edits manually, not via an updated GEDCOM import. My TNG report allowed me to identify the IDs not currently being used that are of a lower ID number than my highest ID number, so I am manually reusing them as opportunities arise. I will eventually use them all up, then there will no longer be an issue.

Cees, I note from your website that you are a Mac user and recommend BBedit. why can't you use Kiwi's dialogue to alter gedcoms? Or is it you wish an automatic script/macro approach? I can't help, since I am Windows user of Notepad++ and it's macros not available on Mac.

It was the cache. Clearing cache made the changes in the css file show up.

Hi Kiwi, Thanks for you explanation, but how do you accomplish in the Reunion GedCom export file the change into: 1 Variable12 NOTE @Nvariable2@ Do you have a script to change all the @Nxx@ variables in the Reunion GedCom export ?? PS: I use Visual Code Studio as my editor for all my PHP, GedCom, ect files.

I am afraid i can not help you with why your "Reuse deleted IDs function is not working correctly". My only guess here is have you actually tried adding a person directly into TNG, not via import, as that is when the function in TNG would actually happen, and not via the import phase. I can offer an option with respect to identifying and reusing ID's. When you export your tree to a gedcom, i believe most, if not all genealogy programs, fill in the missing ID's by taking ID's from the end so that a new gedcom will be continuous ID's, at least that was my understanding many years back when this became a problem for me. With that in mind, i found and still use today a program called FamilyInsight which is now a free program offered here. https://ohanasoftware.wixsite.com/familyinsight This program can be used as a stand alone program or from with in other programs like PAF which is my primary genealogy program. This program makes it easy to see the last ID used, and renumber ID's, by selecting the option to reuse or set a persons ID (RIN) to the lowest possible, meaning a deleted persons ID. Generally, when i delete a person in PAF, i open this and i fill that ID in, so as not to mess up any links to images and other documents linked to people in TNG.

This discussion has been helpful, except for the fact that no suggestion has been offered as to why my Re-use deleted IDs function is not working correctly. After merging some individuals following a new GEDCOM import where I appended all records, I have found that when I go to People >> Add New Person, what is automatically entered in the Person ID: window is an individual ID number as if I never appended additional individuals with a new GEDCOM, nor does identify those IDs in my original data set that are not longer being used because of a merge of individuals I have made subsequent to appending the new information. I have created a report that identifies all of the unused IDs, and have found some 70 that are unused that are lower in number than the one that automatically is being selected. I have also optimized the People data table, and it has had no effect on this issue.

Andreas, I'm happy that it worked for you. I did that once but I had almost all my places in the same "mail" format, like (in principle): Xxxx, Yyyy, Zzzz = Address ("15 A-Street, East, Tngtown") Yyyy, Zzzz = Area ("East, Tngtown") Zzzz = City ("Tngtown") Of course I had to update all places that didn't conform to that format before I batch converted them. And there were errors in the result so don't expect it to be a simple task. Good luck, Erik

Highlight tree 3. Hold down the control key and highlight tree 6 - that should select them both Roger

I just installed the watermark mod, and really like it. Is there a way to turn off the option to allow users to request an unwatermarked copy of the photo they are viewing? I would prefer to not to give users the option.

Leif If the trees are not adjacent in the list, select one at a time and save/stay until finished (then save/exit). Does this not work?

How to "Apply rights to multiple trees"
Leif Sweden replied to NicoM's topic in Questions and Answers
manofmull "Highlight one tree, press "shift" on keyboard and select the tree next to it, so both are highlighted (save/exit)" I have 10 trees but can´t do as you say. I want a user to get access to 2 of those trees (tree 3 and 6) and then it is not possible to use your suggestion. Leif Sweden -
Thank you Manofmull and Ron. Following your advice, my problem could be solved. Regards Nico

Has anyone created a report that seperates First Name & Middle name or a report so that I could search for a middle Name and the occurrences of the same? Thank you, Willquill

Hi Erik, thank you very much for your help! Your hint regarding the file "google_marker.php" solved the problem After copying the file into the directory "stammbaum", all pins appeared! And after updating the mod "Place Map", this page is working too. The only problem is, that I have to add now the placelevels for all towns. Is it possible, to do it with a batch-function? Andreas
-
OK....thanks for the explanation. Makes sense now.

Because at least in Reunion, you can have up to 100 different notes fields, each with its own GEDCOM tag, so I have about 15 different ones in my family file. So looking for any string after the 1, before the @Nxx, captures whatever is the GEDCOM tag used for a note. It captures that in variable 1. It captures the xx from @Nxx@ in variable 2. Then writes them out in the new format of 1 Variable1 2 NOTE @Nvariable2@ Roger

In the user edit, if you tick the box 'apply rights to multiple trees', then a dropdown of trees will be available for you to select multiple trees
-
Nico See the pic for an example. If you have say three trees and you want the user to have rights to two of them. Highlight one tree, press "shift" on keyboard and select the tree next to it, so both are highlighted (save/exit) If the trees are not adjacent, select one at a time and save/stay until finished. The user will still be able to see all trees but have rights to the two or more selected.
-
Yea, Roger, I over simplified, forgetting that the @Nnn@ could vary the value of 'nn'. Yes, Notepad++ does permit regular expression replacement as well, as you can see by the tick box, though I have not had need to use it much, so haven't checked that option. Q. why does your expression look for variations and not only look for 'MIL'? I thought that was a constant. Or is it because any record with the trailing 'N' enclosed by '@'s would be found regardless of the first string?

Hello, I have created one new user and several trees which I want to link to that one user. I know that in "Admin Home" there is a Point "Access Limits" where one should be abe to select several trees from the list of all trees. But, impossible to do so. I can always only select the name of one tree. Could you please tell me how to proceed in order to select several trees at a time. Thank you Nico
