Gedcom file don't load in 2.99a

[Voyageur78s]

Hello

I have been using Ahnenblatt for a long time (10 years) with my Gedcom files.
I am in 2.98 and I used without problem the 3.0 b5

I want to install 2.99a and/or 3.0 b6 and don't load my files?

Hello Voyageur78s,

I want to install 2.99a and/or 3.0 b6 and don't load my files?

I'm not sure if I really understand what's on with your GEDCOM:
Have you already installed 2.99a and face problems loading your GEDCOM file, or are you just thinking of updating and not sure whether it will work or not?

To me, the GEDCOM header looks fine - but I'm not an expert.

If you are facing troubles while loading a GEDCOM file, could you tell, what's happening? Crash? Import summary saying anything?

Feel free to explain a bit.

Frido

By the way - the equivalent of AB 2.99a is Beta7 which is just out.

Hallo Frido, er soll mal beim Importieren / Öffnen der Datei (mit AB) die Fehler-/Import protokolle einschalten und prüfen.
AB kann definitiv ANSI lesen

[Fridolin]

Voyageur78s,

I didn't realize that you maybe even don't get the GEDCOM import prompt: You only get it, if you have Extras > Options > General: "GEDCOM report after import" checked!

I would like to know if you get an error message within.

Frido

EDIT: The only remarkable thing in your GEDCOM file might be the character set "ANSI" - as it is not part of the specification (GEDCOM 5.5). But Ahnenblatt should understand it anyhow (as Bernhard stresses above).

Hello

It has always worked until 2.98 and even 3.0b5
Since 2.99a or 3.0b6
Loading of the usual Gedcom file hangs and does not appear / load

And nothing changed on my Gedcom!

[Fridolin]

Tiens!

Maybe you want to send Dirk your GEDCOM file, so he can see what's on! He will handle it with respect and delete it after testing.

It looks as if it's not in the beginning that the import gets into troubles. Whatever it is...

For his eMail address see "?" > "Info" in the menu. Give him a hint to our thread, too: http://www.ahnenblattportal.de/viewtopi ... 5584#55584

[Gast]

Thank you
Yes I will do it.

Because if my Gedcom is not standard I must find what to change in it.

[Gast]

I think the anomaly comes from:
notes, sources or repositeries, I search by ittérations

[Gast]

Older versions supported an "anomaly" of my Gedcom, the mix of some notes and sources, this is no longer the case, so I changed my Gedcom output script (full respect 5.5) and it works (2.9a and 3.0 b7)

So it's ok and thank you for your answers.

[Fridolin]

What do you mean by repositories?

Do you mean image files that are integrated directly into the GEDCOM file? By a BLOB (binary large objects)?

Usually media files are stored separately and are packed aside to a GEDCOM file. In version 5.5, there was the possibility of inserting BLOBs into a GEDCOM file, but the support was already discontinued in version 5.5.1 - so I think, that Ahnenblatt wouldn't support such things. But, at least, it should cope with the existance (even if not imported).

im Netzt gibts Testprogramme für gedcom ....
evtl auch hier http://genwiki.genealogy.net/Kategorie:Hilfsprogramm

[Fridolin]

BTW, Voyageur78s,

there are GEDCOM test programs out there in the inter-wilderness. I never used one, but I know of one named GEDCOM Validator. Maybe you want to check your file.

And I'm reminded of a change Dirk just effected in 2.99 or 2.99a in GEDCOM import because a date (!) consisting of more than 2000 characters crashed the import dialog.
