I received a GED file from someone.

When importing this file to Genopro It was containing some custom Tags

I would like to copy some of the data to my project file Without any traces of the custom tags.

How can I delete all traces of the custom tags from the imported file, including the properties of the custom tags. I was able to delete the data from the custom tags, but not its properties.

At the moment, the best method is using Notepad to edit the .xml file directly.  At the begining, you will see a section containing the custom tags.  Just delete that section.

I tried this and deleted all the tag entries in notepad and saved but when I opened the xml file which created a new gno all the tags were still there!

Even after saving again nothing had changed.Unsure

I tried it again and discovered that GenoPro creates all the tags again when I open the saved xml file and I got this (please excuse the size)

I am perhaps doing something wrong but your sugbestion doesn't seem to work even though I am using the latest Beta 18e.

Dan you may delete this message after you have seen it as it takes up a lot of space.

At the moment, the best method is using Notepad to edit the .xml file directly.  At the begining, you will see a section containing the custom tags.  Just delete that section.

GenoPro will re-create the tags if there are data.  If you clear all the data, then edit the .xml to delete the custom tags, you won't see them when you re-open the .xml file using GenoPro.

To clear the data, use the Table Layout and right click on the column you want to erase.  Select the menu item Erase Column.

Thanks, I will give it a try.

I did try it and it worked but is a very laborious process as I had 56 family tags and 153 individual tags  95% of which I don't understand as they are just letters which must mean something to somebody but not to me. Sad

I have managed to reduce the family ones to 11 but haven't yet tackled the individual ones as it will take me days to delete each of the 153 columns for a tree with 20000 names ! Crazy

Sorry if I am misunderstanding, but wouldn't it be easier to delete the tags in the Tools/Tag Editor?  I had created many custom tags, around 25, and deleted them very quickly in the tag editor.  Again, sorry if I misunderstood and this isn't the problem.

If you look at my post above you will see I tried that but GenoPro re-created all the tags when it was re-opened.

When I deleted from the xml,  only the tags containing info were re-created when I re-open the xml and so remaking a gno file.

I am just wondering why there are so many tags, where they come from and what is the use of most of them which have strange names which mean nothing to me.

When I deleted my tags, I not only had to delete the individual labels in the bottom section ("Tags for Dialog Layout 'Custom Tags'") but also the "Dialog Layout" section above it.  When I first deleted them, I only deleted the top section and like you said, all the tags came back.  When I went back in and deleted both the top and bottom sections within the Individual tab on the Tag Editor, the data was gone for good.  Wish I could describe it better, but the Tag Editor (now this is all under the Individual tab, mind you) has two sections, and I deleted all the tags in both of those sections.

I didn't have to touch the xml file at all.  I have never tried to access the .xml file though, so I know nothing about that part of it.
