[quote]Every thing links, except when I try to open a .gno file. It asks if I want to open or save. I choose open.

There should be a checkbox at the bottom of the message box to always open this type of document. See http://www.genopro.com/internet/[/quote]

OK, I see. I unchecked the box. Opened IE and entered my URL. Got to my page. Went to Living Tree. Clicked on DirectDescendents link>Frances

FOXFIRE opens and the GenoPro Icon is placed on my task par. I clcik on GenoPro. And Frances-5 opens. The photo links are correct. No photos. When I click on the open new file icon on the GenoPro taskbar, It shows I am looking in my C drive.

So, while it may not function correctly for me, if my relatives use IE, it should work for them.

If you use IE, it should work for you too Smile.


This is the problem, it does not. I go to tmy site using Internet Explorer. Every thing links, except when I try to open a .gno file. It asks if I want to open or save. I choose open. It places GenoPro on the task bar. When I click on the GenoPro icon, it opens the .gno file NOT in IE, but in FoxFire. And here is where I get the phantom Frances-3.gno files.

GenoPro was designed to work with Internet Explorer in a browser. The other browsers, such as Netscape and Opera do not support ActiveX, so they open the .gno file as a standalone file. When a .gno file is opened as a standalone file, it is first downloaded by the browser to a cache/temp folder, and then opened as if you double-clicked on the downloaded file. As a result, the original URL cannot be known to GenoPro. GenoPro uses some special code to fetch the original URL from Internet Explorer (say http://bellsouthpwp.net/e/f/efudd43/) and uses this URL to concatenate the full path to get the pictures.


I think what you are saying is, if my relatives use IE they will not face the problems I do. IE will not open .gno as a standalone file. It seeks the file from the ISP server, then provides an option to either save or open the file. If open is selected, it opens the .gno from the ISP server in GenoPro.

So, while it may not function correctly for me, if my relatives use IE, it should work for them.

Right?????

I don't know about FireFox; I have not used it yet. My guess is FireFox does not support ActiveX, as Netscape and Opera for security reasons. With ActiveX, anyone can add those "Browser Helper Objects" (BHO) which is the nest for trojans, spyware and viruses. ActiveX is a cool feature, but is a real security nightmare.

The HBOs can add extra toolbar buttons to the browser and do other stuff such as monitoring your surfing activity. For instance, a Pop-Up Blocker is an HBO, the Google toolbar is an HBO (for searching and also blocking pop-ups), Acrobat Reader is another HBO. Since an HBO can do almost anything, it is difficult to know if the code is malicious. A list of all "known" HBOs can be found at http://www.sysinfo.org/bholist.php and at http://computercops.biz/bhotb-all.html .

Thanks for your reply. I learned that if I unchecked the Preserve Full Path box, it would write the relative path for me. I did that for all the images on all the .gno files.
Thanks

Now I am getting a different problem. Will this ever end???

My default browser is FoxFire. I load all the .gno files and .html pages via Internet Explorer.
I have been testing via Internet Explorer.

However, when I go to a place like Living Tree>DirectDescendents>Frances, it downloads Frances-3.gno and displays it in a FoxFire window. I do not have a Frances-3.gno file There is a of Frances-2 and a Frances-1 in a temp folder, but they do not reside either in my main Family Tree folder on my C drive nor in the ISP servers.

Frances-3 looks like the real Frances.gno but the photos are not linked. If I try to open a new .gno from the GenoPro toolbar, it brings me to my C-drive. Somehow, I left Internet Explorer, and am viewing .gno files from my hard drive. IE is still opened. But the Frances.gno file is not the one that is opened. It is Frances-3.gno which is NOT on my c-drive, yet it claims to be. It is as if files are getting additional numbers each time a file is opened.

When you go to my site, you do not seem to have this problem. Do you?

What is causing this???? Your guidance is greatly appreciated.

I then relinked all of them using an absolute link. http://bellsouthpwp.net/e/f/efudd43/relativephotos/sam.jpg
No joy.

The link does not work (file not found), so GenoPro cannot locate the picture http://bellsouthpwp.net/e/f/efudd43/relativephotos/sam.jpg.

I opened the file http://bellsouthpwp.net/e/f/efudd43/ralph.gno and found you have several links to "C:\Documents and Settings\Micro Edwards.MICRO-4C44C87B1\My Documents\FamilyTree\RelativePhotos\". This will work on your computer but not on others because users do not have the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\Micro Edwards.MICRO-4C44C87B1\My Documents\FamilyTree\RelativePhotos\" on their machine.

I renamed the path to "RelativePhotos\MaryEllen.jpg.bmp" and the picture appeared (see screen shot below). What you have to do is rename all paths "C:\Documents and Settings\Micro Edwards.MICRO-4C44C87B1\My Documents\FamilyTree\RelativePhotos\" to "RelativePhotos\". GenoPro will automatically create the full URL by concatenating "http://bellsouthpwp.net/e/f/efudd43/" and "RelativePhotos/MaryEllen.jpg.bmp" to produce the full path "http://bellsouthpwp.net/e/f/efudd43/RelativePhotos/MaryEllen.jpg.bmp"

I see you put some absolute hyperlinks (http://bellsouthpwp.net/e/f/efudd43/Theresachildren.gno) rather than relative hyperlinks (DirectDescendents.gno). The relative hyperlink should work. I tested it on both version 1.91b and the latest Beta and they work.


I am really lost. I kept the absolute links and they seem to be working for linking one .gno file to another.

I sent out e-mails telling them the URL, and got back questions as to where the photos are located.

When I set up each photo to a particular person, I just "browsed" to the image I wanted. It found them on the C Drive. I can see all the photos. But my relatives can not.

I then relinked all of them using an absolute link. http://bellsouthpwp.net/e/f/efudd43/relativephotos/sam.jpg
No joy.

Your help area indicates I can type .\sam.jpg Again no joy. (I uploaded the images to the same area on the ISP server as the .gno files-That is why I left off the "relativephotos" in the .\sam.jpg)

WHat am I doing wrong????
