Using ZipGenius 6 I have no problem. Is there a problem with the installation of WinZip 9?

Hello Howard53
Thank you for your kind comment. I've downloaded and unzipped succesfully other zip-files earlier ie. I've got this version installed a long time.

I have tried the links to the latest Narrative report and they point to HTM files in the forum, not ZIP files.
This would cause WinZip to give the 'not a valid archive' message.
I hope I am not being thick, but this whole question of photos/thumbnails not appearing in reports seems to have become exraordinarily complicated.
If you disable thumbnails in the HTM dropdown window during the report process the pictures come up OK. it could be useful for this to be the default setting or for it to retain the settings with the GNO file or the Narrative Report Skin.
I am now going in search of the 'irfanview' program.
Genopro is still the best, but choice can lead to confusion. :-)

OK is someone watching?
I checked the download links again and they point to zip files now.
Or was it the hand of Microsoft messing with us.
I shall now go and play ZIP files

In reply to Jarmo's email may be of use to others.
Hi JarmoThanks for your care. I downloaded it and unzipped it, found the skins directory and put it there. After that, no progress.GenoPro desn't seem to keep its other skins in the same place and the format of a modified skin, with its sub directories looked so different that I thought I must have got it wrong and gave up. I did have success in locating and installing both IrfanView and Inkscape which got it all working on default values, phew!! thanks again Tony P.S.Creation of Thumbnails with Irfanview, speeds up the web experience of our large family tree very well.

It is a shame that after downloading the latest skin you did not use it. GenoPro holds its default Report skins compressed within the GenoPro.exe file, and so are not immediately visible as a set of files. If you click the 'New Skin' button on the GenoPro 'Generate Report' button then GenoPro will unpack its compressed version of a skin intoi a set of folders and files in the 'skins' folder. They are in the same format as the modified skin you downloaded. Both intertnal skins within GenoPro.exe and external skins in the skins folder appear into the drop down list of the Generate Report dialogue.
The problem with thumbnails without Irfanview installed is bug that was only detected after GenoPro 2.0.1.6 was released but a corection was issued soon afterwards via this forum.
Unfortunately as yet GenoPro Inc. have not incorporated the revised skin in GenoPro itself  despite several requests. Hence the many posts on this forum with problems such as yours.
The latest release of the skin will save any changes to Config Params for subsequent runs.
The only problem with downloading skins I am aware of is that a you must be logged into the forum with a proper user id, not as a guest and not with the 'numbers only' user id allocated by GenoPro.

Unfortunately as yet GenoPro Inc. have not incorporated the revised skin in GenoPro itself despite several requests. Hence the many posts on this forum with problems such as yours.
Let me explain why the new skins are not incorporated into the latest version of GenoPro. The problem is I am unable to rebuild GenoPro 2.0.1.6. I do have full backups of the C++ code, however other things (such as toolbar icons, graphics, documents) are incrementally backed up, and the order of icons in the toolbars have changed many times. In December 2007, I released my first demo of GenoPro Gamma. In my configuration file, I was using #define CONFIG_GENOPRO_GAMMA and used #ifdef CONFIG_GENOPRO_GAMMA to distinguish the new code for GenoPro Gamma, so I can exclude it if I need to recompile GenoPro 2007. The following versions of GenoPro have been released between GenoPro 2007 2.0.1.2 and 2.0.1.6: 17-Nov-2007 2.0.1.2 Improvements to the phrase editor16-Dec-2007 2.0.1.3 Fixed a printing issue 16-Jan-2008 2.0.1.4 Out of sync: Translation of GenoPro 08-Apr-2008 2.0.1.5 Out of sync: new localized languages and improvements to the report generator 14-Sep-2008 2.0.1.6 Out of sync: improvement to the social entity. This version is the last of the GenoPro 2007 series. 13-Mar-2010 2.0.1.6(b) Recompilation of the setup program to fix a compatibility issue on Windows 7. 09-Dec-2007 2.1.0.0 Early demo of GenoPro Gamma 15-Feb-2008 2.2.0.0 New code for drawing individuals with Monica's legend07-Mar-2008 2.2.0.1 Special version for Monica McGoldrick with the horizontal and vertical lines within the gender symbol16-Apr-2008 2.3.0.0 Added ArrowStyle to the polygon/shape 20-Apr-2008 2.3.0.1 Fixed some issues with the polygon and other drawing stuff. 07-May-2008 2.0.1.5 Silent update of 2.0.1.5 - This is probably final build for GenoPro 2007 because it is very complicated to rebuild this old version. 22-May-2008 2.4.0.0 Special version for Monica McGoldrick with reference date per GenoMap 16-Jun-2008 3.g1 First "Gamma" version 16-Aug-2008 3.g2 Code for the "External Storage" to store a genogram in a third party database 14-Sep-2008 2.0.1.6 Improvement to the social entity. This version is the last of the GenoPro 2007 series. 29-Oct-2008 2.4.0.1 Build for Monica with draft dialogs
