| Exclude
other
applications
extensions
to Gedcom |
The GEDCOM format permits applications to extend it,
and add their own custom fields. Tick this option if you
wish other applications extensions to be excluded.
|
| Exclude
fields that
are not valid
for
GEDCOM
5.5 |
By default, Family Historian will load as much data from
a
GEDCOM file as it can. It can even load GEDCOM tags
which are not valid for GEDCOM 5.5. If you wish it to
ignore invalid GEDCOM tags, check this option. |
| Accept dates
in numeric
format |
Some applications sometimes specify dates in GEDCOM
using a numeric format - e.g. 3/12/1998. This is not valid
GEDCOM. In the U.S.A. this date would probably be the
12th March, 1998. In the U.K. it would be December 3rd,
1998. If you want Family Historian to interpret these
numeric dates as dates, check this option, and choose
one of the 4 choices which govern how Family Historian
will interpret numeric dates. For example, if you choose
dd/mm/yyyy, Family Historian will interpret 3/12/1998 as
3rd December, 1998. If you choose mm/dd/yyyy, Family
Historian will interpret it as 12th March, 1998. |
| Output
Family
records
before
Individual
records |
In GEDCOM, all records apart from the header and trailer,
can be saved in any order. However, some applications
expect Individual records to be saved before Family
records, and some may expect the reverse. Family
Historian outputs Individual records before Family records
by default, but you can output them in the reverse order if
you wish. In general, you are recommended to leave this
option unchecked unless you have a good reason to do
otherwise. |
| Re-output
the Current
File’s
Header
Record |
In general when Family Historian saves a GEDCOM file,
it writes its own details in the header record. However, if
you wish to use Family Historian to edit data belonging to
another application, it may occasionally be advantageous
to preserve the original header record.
This option is deliberately not saved persistently, and
consequently will always revert to the default (unchecked)
at the start of each new session.
|
| Enable
Autosave |
If you enable this option, Family Historian will
automatically save any changes you make, every few
minutes - you specify how many. |
| Use ANSI
Character
Set |
ANSI is the standard Windows character set. Unless you
have good reason to do otherwise, you should leave this
option checked. |
