REVIEWS GEDITCOM II UPGRADE

Fortunately, no serious bugs are know in version 1.7, but some good ideas came in and this upgrade responds to some of them. Whenever a new version comes out (such as Version 1.7) some features do not make it or some great ideas arise due to user feedback on using that version.

REVIEWS GEDITCOM II UPDATE

This is another major update to GEDitCOM II that follows Version 1.7 (released at the start of last month), and the developer notes: If you have an older MacOC or have PowerPC processors, you may be able to find a prior version that supports them in the following links.This week, GEDitCOM II was upgraded to GEDitCOM II version 1.7, Build 2 (14 March 2012). The current GEDitCOM II requires MacOS 10.6 (or newer) and Intel processors. These limitations only apply to files with more than 25 individuals. The limitations of the free 'reader mode' are that you cannot save changes made to files or run scripts that save the file or use the scripting command that exports GEDCOM data to files. For those that have purchased a license, the advantage of a free reader mode is that they can send their GEDitCOM II files to friends or relatives and even if they do not own GEDitCOM II, they can use the free 'reader mode' to view the data (but they will need a Mac to run GEDitCOM II). Hopefully they will eventually see the value of GEDitCOM II and purchase a license. They can open any GEDCOM file, validate the data, an even run scripts to generate reports. This free reader mode is provided as a service to any genealogist in need of a powerful GEDCOM file inspection tool.

REVIEWS GEDITCOM II SOFTWARE

GEDitCOM II is provided as a free application for viewing GEDitCOM II files or for opening any GEDCOM file from other software and viewing that data. In additional, more specialized tutorials are available on this web site. To see a tutorial, start GEDitCOM II and choose the 'Quick Start Tutorial' command in the 'Help' menu. If you do not have any genealogy data yet, try the sample files that get installed along with GEDitCOM II (click buttons in startup screen to open them). Fortunately, most applications export in GEDCOM format well enough to get nearly all your data into GEDitCOM II. If any data is missing, it means the other genealogy application you used did not export it completely or correctly. GEDitCOM II will read 100% of any GEDCOM file you give it. Start GEDitCOM II and open the file you exported in step 2.Copy that exported file to the Mac on which you have installed GEDitCOM II.Find the option to 'Export' the data to a GEDCOM file and save that GEDCOM file.Start the other genealogy application and open your data file (Mac or PC).To import your own data, do the following: The best way to evaluate GEDitCOM II is to try it using your own genealogy data. Enter that code into the demo you already downloaded, which unlocks the full version. When you decide to buy, you purchase a license to get a permanent unlocking code. You can optionally drag them to a separate 'GEDitCOM Extras' folder (which for previous users will replace previous versions of those applications).

To add options to edit browser styles and to do date calculations, drag 'GEDitCOM Editor' and 'Date Calculator' to your 'Applications' folder as well. To install, simply drag GEDitCOM II to your 'Applications' folder (replacing any previously installed version). For very, very old systems and/or non-intel Macs, see possible Legacy downloads. It should work back to MacOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). This very old version is recommended for those with MacOS's older than Yosemite (10.10).
