The family tree I am working on has become very complex and it has proved best to separate the various constituent families into individual GenoMaps.  When generating a report in respect of an individual GenoMap, the report correctly lists under "Most Popular Family Names" only those names used in the relevant GenoMap but under "Most Popular Places" it lists all places used throughout the whole document Family Tree whether used in that individual GenoMap or not.  I suspect that this is a bug in the Report Generator.  Is there a fix?

The algorithm to delete unused object (places, pictures, sources & citations) needs to be completely redone. At the moment GenoPro considers an object as orphan (stray) if it has no references, however there are cases of a circular references where those objects should be deleted but are not deleted. This is often the case when generating a report for a single GenoMap.

For instance, an object such as a place having a picture is not be deleted if the place includes its picture. If both the place and the pictures are not used anywhere, those objects should be deleted, however the current code does not handle this scenario. I don't want to touch this code now because the impacts of creating a bug can be quite serious. A small bug in the code could delete valid pictures, places, sources. I will revise this code on the next "Beta" (aka Gamma).
