GenoPro Support Forum

Lets say that I want to display my children in my wifes tree. I then select them and create a new group. I then go to my wife's tree and create there an hyperlink to this group. GenoPro then need to display this group, the same way it displays the hyperlinked individual.

I never thought about a solution like this before.  At first your solution appear more complex than the generic hyperlink mechanism... however I need to think about it a few more days to give a more accurate answer.

Bookmarks will be added for Beta 16.  Those bookmarks will be able to track one or a group of individuals, or a location x,y in a GenoMap.  I want to integrate those bookmarks with the display so the user can click on an hyperlink to jump to the bookmark target.

Dan, I am not sure weather you explained somewhere how the hyperlink mechanism is working in GenoPro. What I thought is that GenoPro will create a group from the family you want to copy, and then create an hyperlink to this group in the same way the individual hyperlink is working today.

The big question is can GenoPro do that???

I think that this is the right way to do it. decide in which tree the tree will "continue" and hyperlinked between the connecting individual in case there is no other soulution.

But it is up to anyone to decide how he/she want to maintain the family tree.

I'm fully aware of it, and I have to deal with extra caution with  those individuals, not to exclude someone, or not to input data in "dummy" in stead of item I'm having data in...

Some of my suggestions were based on such use. As i.e. having an option of copy of an person, without additional entry, something like person(s) that are now used as hyperlinks, but without hyperlink...

With future version, report will be very impressive and small family tree (per marriage for example) will be likely included via 3rd party script or build-in GenoPro.

I'm keeping one bigger main tree related strictly to my direct ancestors and their spouses and direct descendents. Parts of family related to them are kept in separate genomaps and there I have their families and only copies of individuals that are present in "main" tree. Persons that are present two times (besides persons that act as hyperlinks) are marked not to be present in report... ...so I'm updating only their copies on "main" tree.

It's a bit complicated but if it can help to anyone...

Indeed.  The original conversation is Internal Hyperlinked Families.  Hyperlinking a family is one thing, however mirroring a portion of a tree is a bit more complex. The solution I am thinking is a built-in generic architecture to hyperlink any display object to get a behavior similar to the hyperlinked individual.

  I think you already described your solution, namely, to have pedigree links and families also hyperlinked. 

  My 2 cents on this idea is to have a set of people plus their links copied in a special manner so that each item is linked to the original.  This linking will also appear in a grey, rather than black color (or some other indicator), to show that the individuals and links cannot be modified in this genomap, only in the original.  When the original is modified, this should propagate to the linked items.  This is also true if the original is deleted - the linked item should be deleted.  Perhaps a warning should appear if an original is about to be modified - so that the user understands that this will also modify the copy.

  All attempts at modifying the individual or link from the copy will result in a simple message explaining that the original should be modified.  The only legal thing that will be allowed in the copies is to move them physically around the new GenoMap.
