I love the Genopro interface and tree generator.
I'm deciding whether to purchase the newest Genopro (I've got the ancient free beta) or go with a free alternative like GRAMPS.
I'm just not sure whether or not Genopro adheres to universal GED standards. If I thought I would be safe sharing .ged files with users of other programs then I would prefer to use Genopro.
Any advice?

If you want the complete story, better do a search in this forum with GEDCOM as keyword.

In short, and as far as I know, GenoPro Supports two "formats" of GEDCOM.  One which I would like to call the "standard" version, the other the "GenoPro" version.

The "standard" version adheres to the GEDCOM 5.5 standard.  It must be generated using a special report type called GEDCOM.  My personal experience is that a lot of other genealogy programs do not fully adhere to the 5.5 standard.  At the best they just ignore expressions they cannot parse, but a lot of them simply crash.

The "GenoPro" version contains, next to the standard stuff, special GEDCOM markers to be able to store GenoPro specific stuff like color, screen positions, relations etc.  Components that are unknown to the GEDCOM 5.5 standard but can be defined anyhow.  Such a GEDCOM version will not be understood by other genealogy programs, unless you run it through a standardising filter first.

Hope this helps.
