This is a cosmetic issue - I was curious to know whether the spacing of the gridlines can be changed. I have a large tree which I developed on GenoPro 1.9x with a manual layout designed around a 100 x 100 grid spacing. I recently had to migrate this to a new computer and started using the new version, and it just doesn't look good with 50 x 50 as in the latest version and it's harder to manage.

Also there used to be a "snap to nearest 10" function when moving around people and marriages - does this still exist? I couldn't find it.

By the way, this probably belongs in another part of the forum, but might there be a market for a functional program without the clutter? Most of the v2 changes seem to be basically irrelevant for a large tree where most of the genealogy is pre-1950 - the range of options for every component greatly exceeds both what is plausible and the information likely to be available. I have no intention of using your program as a social networking tool, an address book or a family medical history - I want to do genealogy! I would rather pay for a 1.9x that runs efficiently for large trees on an up-to-date PC.

If you wish to use an earlier version of GenoPro they are available for download here.

The grid has been changed to snap at 5 pixel rather than 10 for enhanced precision.  Moving 10 units was sometimes too much spacing to make good looking genograms / family trees.

I wish the change from 10-px to 5-px snappiung was an option. It's not very customer-friendly to change something without giving the option to retain the previous setting. I have large genograms that all use the 10-px snapping, and now when I add new individuals or links, it's harder to align them with the pre-existing objects because of the grid size change.
