Doesn't look like it - and I would dearly love to be able to have some form of this feature. My thought is an expansion of the hyperlink concept. At the moment, if I get a tree from someone as a GEDCOM, and it branches off of a tree I already have, with (ideally) one point of overlap. I would like to be able to select that overlap person on the 2 genomaps, and "declare" it to be a hyperlink. that should kick up a panel if there is a problem with data merging e.g. conflicting dates, etc. that could then be dealt with. Any data not conflicting would simply merge, e.g. field empty in one record but not in the other. What I have to do at the moment is actually delete a person in one map, and recreate them with a hyperlink from the second. And I lose any relationships that this person had on the second map by doing this.

Merging files is not at all that easy.  E.g., empty fields do not mean that the value is missing, it might have been deleted because it was wrong.  Simply merging files would re-introduce the wrong value over and over again.  You really need to timestamp each field in order to find out what the latest "correct" value is and this feature is probably not foreseen in GenoPro.

Export two version of your GenoPro files to XML and use MS Word to merge and compare them.  You will soon find out how difficult it is to define the correct logic of operation.

I can only second appleshaw's comment.  Make sure you carry the latest version of the GenoGram with you.  Otherwise you are only looking for problems.

Perhaps you will be able to do something of this nature by taking advantage of the upcoming collaboration module.  Dan?

As I recall, long time ago there was a talk about XML tool for comparison and merge of files... I think it was of MS...

Lookup somewhere in third-party tools...
