Hello everybody, I have been using various versions of Geno-Pro for over 20 years and I have one enduring gripe which I would love to see addressed - THE GRID. I raised the issue back when I was beta-testing version 2 and it annoys me just as much now as it did back then.
My family tree is large, complex and extensive and I have to work very hard to try and maintain some form of order. Like virtually everyone else on the planet I have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 ... well, I'm adopted so it is a little bit more complicated as I have two trees - but they are both like this. Grid spacings of 10 steps just do not map onto powers of 2 so my relatives very quickly move away from the grid intersections where I like to place them. Not only that but, when creating and navigating extensive genograms the uniformity of grid lines makes it hard to keep generations 'in-line' as it were. What I would dearly love to see would be a grid based on 8 by 8 that is like graph paper - with heavier (or different coloured) lines at regular intervals. For graph paper it is fine lines for every 2mm or so then medium for every fifth (10mm) and sometimes darker for every tenth. So, the same principle but based around 8 steps between major divisions. Is this even a remote possibility? Thank-you MIke Reed <>< I have produced a small grid like this manually on a blank genogram but it is tedious and time consuming to start with and then endlessly extending it without changing the position of any line is a fuss too.

Hi, good morning. I recently purchased a new license for my GenoPro, which can be seen below. However, I cannot open my main work file even using this new license. When I try to open it, the message is "Unable to decompress data - the compression format is unknown or its data is corrupted". I am attaching the file to this email. Could you please help me open it?Thank you in advance for your attention.

Is it it possible to read an old .gno file with GenoPro 2020? The old .gno file has more than 100 entries and it was created with version 1.91b.

Normally I find that Genopro2007 will open files created using v.1.9. Most files from v.2 Beta versions need to be exported to xml.
As you have an xml file you should be able to open it. However you will need to choose this format in the File Open dialog.
If this does not work then open the xml file in Notepad, or even a Word Processor (as Ascii text) and about the fourth line should specify the version of Genopro used to create your files. If it was something like 2.0.1.3 you will need to get that program from the archive, load your file and export as xml
Hope this gets you back into your Family History

Your GenoPro Gold registration is valid for GenoPro 2007, and, in any case, the unregistered version of GenoPro 2007 is not crippled except when saving trees with more than 25 individuals.
Can you open your .gno file in GenoPro Gold? If not, then your .gno file may be corrupted. If you have an .xml verison of the file, then this can be opened in GenoPro 2007 - just specify an .xml file in the Open dialogue from the File menu.

I am in the same boat. I have a .gno file and the attendant .xml file where were created when I had the GenoPro Gold software I purchased under oleinick@earthlink.net. Unfortunately, when I try to open it using the GenoPro 2007 software I just downloaded it gives me an error after trying to open the .gno file: "Cannot import text file because its format is unknown to GenoPro. Please supply a valid XML or Gedcom file." The .xml file has the same file name as the .gno file and is in the same directory, so it should find it. Perhaps the shareware version of GenoPro 2007 doesn't have all the bells and whistles built in? Any ideas would be appreciated. If I am entitled to an updated version, I would also appreciate that. Error log is belowOpening file 'C:\...\My Documents\My Geneology\Family Tree Gold.gno'...
Reading file 'C:\...\My Documents\My Geneology\Family Tree Gold.gno'...
Cannot import text file because its format is unknown to GenoPro. Please supply a valid XML or Gedcom file.

GenoPro 2007 will open old files with no problem and if you check the web site it will tell you about W98. If you bought v.1 then you do not need to pay again for the later version.
It is a greatly expanded program with many more features, including the ability to publish your reports (free) on the GenoPro website so that other members of the family can see it
