Will there be other changes to the skins before the final version of GenoPro 2.0 ?

I have noticed that there is a white background for all the names in the SVG in the Beta 20 that wasn't there in 19g and I can change this to transparent for each genomap only one at a time but I have 79 genomaps so far and this will take ages to change them all unless there is a way of selecting the whole file or if this was possible using the "Automatic/Default" tab in the "File" "Properties" menu.

I have to do this as I have color coded the boxes for each generation and the white background for the text doesn't look right for me.

By genome - Tuesday, November 28, 2006
I think that the white background for individual's top & bottom labels when that individual has a border is a bug. The Report Generator seems to set the label fill to white as default and this is reflected in the SVG, even though the .xml file does have this setting. This is different from what is shown within GenoPro. It would be better if a transparent background was assumed by the Report Generator when a coloured border is present, without the user having to explicitly set the transparent option in Display poperties. This would match with what is observed within GenoPro itself.

I think this is possibly one for Dan to sort out.

This is true.  I was somewhat lazy/hurry to release Beta 20.  The idea behind of a background color for the top and bottom label was to simulate a background color when an indiviual is over a closed figure/shape or a social entity.

Perhaps GenoPro should automatically tick the "transparent text" when there is a border.

By genome - Tuesday, November 28, 2006
I've just noticed that GenoPro 'ignores' the background label colour when there is a border. If this is intentional then I can fix the SVG issue by drawing the label background first before the border thus making the SVG match the GenoPro rendering.

I am working on a fix.  When there is a border, GenoPro will automatically tick the "transparency" for the text.  The fix will work nicely, and hopefully you won't have to change anything.

Thanks for this next fix, I only noticed it as I always color my boxes. Tongue

I can't however get Ron's "gnoxmlutil.vbs" to work with Beta 20 as it seems to run as usual to add the marriages labels etc but changes nothing ! Ron, have you got a newer version of your super tool ? Unsure

I noticed that your "gnoxml2ged.vbs" is included in the Accessories of GenoPro and wondered if the latest version of your "gnoxmlutil.vbs" could be included as well. Wink

UPDATE

I just found Ron's message about this problem on his web site and so have reinstalled Beta19g in another folder in order to use the "gnoxmlutil.vbs" and will continue like this untill it is included in GenoPro as Ron promissed it will be done soon. Tongue

All these changes?

When I try to update my report, it is all wrong, error after error, then it stops. (I'm using a customized report).

Guess, I'll have to remake the entire report.

A question for Dan:
Can the Report Generator can still support "old" tags in order to avoid all those errors?

Just a thought: Can the Report Generator can internaly? For example - the first change you indicate is: GenoMap.boundary_rect -> GenoMap.BoundaryRect can the Report Generator internaly recognise the "old" tag - GenoMap.boundary_rect - and regard it as the new tag - GenoMap.BoundaryRect?

Can the Report Generator can still support "old" tags in order to avoid all those errors?

GenoPro does imports "old" tags, however those tags have been explicitly removed from the report generator to avoid problems down the road.  For instance, the tag boundary_rect was renamed to BoundaryRect.  GenoPro will support boundary_rect until version 3.0, however the tag boundary_rect will be completely removed for GenoPro 3.0.  Supporting boundary_rect means your report won't work on GenoPro version 3.0.

It is better to know which tags are no longer supported, than finding in year 2008 or 2009 that your skin is no longer working.  Some people will spend hundred of hours customizing their skin, and some will distribute their custom skin to others.  We want people to upgrade, and having legacy tags from early betas will bring trouble and frustration when GenoPro 3.0 is out.

Using a text editor such as Notepad should take less than one hour.  I can help you renaming those tags.

I may have missed this in a post - and can not find it through Search.
Previously reports had a grey mottled background but now they are a plain pale yellow. Not a major problem, but I would like to know how the change happened. It appears in both original & Customised reports

Previously reports had a grey mottled background but now they are a plain pale yellow.

In your customized report, locate the subfolder named Images.  You should see a file named Background.jpg and Background.jpg.bak or Background.bak.jpg.  Just rename the .bak file to Background.jpg and you will have your old background.  I have received many suggestions for background images/textures.  I may create a page for this where users can download the background image of their choice.

By appleshaw - Friday, December 1, 2006
Thanks for that. It took me some time to sort it out, because I had to clear the cache in FireFox before it noticed that a different file with the same name was being used.

Perhaps GenoPro should automatically tick the "transparent text" when there is a border.

It appears that this.....

is the result on all of my 750 genomaps.

I think it an undesirable result and can see no way of fixing it other than entering 750 genomaps and manually changing the setting from "transparent text for labels". Is there any better way? Shouldn't this default be available under "file properties"?

By GenoProSupport - Saturday, December 2, 2006
Please send me your file and I will take a look at it.  I wonder why you got so many of those transparent text.
By Poolzone - Saturday, December 2, 2006
Please send me your file

I would like to , but you have removed "edit attachments" from your email, your PM does not work, and "send file" continually reports that I have not received a response from the server...ie been disconnected, which is not true.

Perhaps you can advise a system that will work, thanks.

By GenoProSupport - Saturday, December 2, 2006
I got your file.  I wonder why you got this transparency because a normal "upgrade path" would make the text appear normal.  Here what to do:

1. Go to the Table Layout (Ctrl+T).
2. Press Ctrl+A to select all rows. This will select all the individuals of all the GenoMaps.
3. Press Enter to bring the properties of all selected objects, or click on the Properties icon.
4. In the Display tab, uncheck the checkbox Transparent text for labels.
5. Voilà.  The transparency will removed from the 10,000+ individuals from your family tree.

Done!  Thank you.

I have no idea how this came about. The following three things have happened that might contribute to it

1.Updated to v2beta20b   2.Added one member   3. Accidentally loaded old version of file from backups, and then closed same.

I assume it has something to do with the last item.

1. Now this asks two more questions.......why the errors on "send file"?

2. Why do we not get this same dialog for all members when we press enter on the Genomap? Without your help I would have never found it.

Thank you for your assistance. As always you are prompt, courteous and knowledgeable.

By Poolzone - Saturday, December 2, 2006
Note to self.......make a cup of coffee, double check the results of the Fix.......make double sure, and then report.

Unfortunately the Fix for All individuals did not work.  The fix only affected the Genomap which was in view, although all members were selected in the Table.  I have however found the following.

Ctr T = select table

Ctr A = select all rows in table

Enter = select all ON CURRENT GENOMAP ONLY   

I right clicked on selected table row and proceeded, with desired result.

All fixed now, Thanks.

1.Updated to v2beta20b   2.Added one member   3. Accidentally loaded old version of file from backups, and then closed same.

This is probably something like that, because when GenoPro imports from a version prior Beta20b, it automatically adds the transparency if a border is present.

I assume it has something to do with the last item.

1. Now this asks two more questions.......why the errors on "send file"?

I don't know why the error OkFileExist appear.  This "error" means there is already a filename to the account, and the user has the option to overwrite/update or send the file under a different filename.

I forwarded your email to my brother.  He looked at the logs and everything appear correct.  I tried to reproduce the error but was unable to.  The important thing is I got the file you sent me.

2. Why do we not get this same dialog for all members when we press enter on the Genomap? Without your help I would have never found it.

The Enter key is a shortcut to bring the properties of the selected object(s).

Beta 20d is the final beta, unless there is a MAJOR BUG.  No more tag changes!
