Family Tree Maker opdateret

jan 272011
 

familytreemakerversion 19.2.1.241 (2011-01-22)

Family Tree Maker fortæller ikke (så vidt jeg ved) om versionshistorie på deres webside, jeg har ikke selv programmet (og modtager derfor ingen meddelelser igennem det) og udgaven i Mac App Store er stadig den gamle – men ifølge MacGenealogy.org blev programmet for få dage siden opdateret fra version 19.2.0.202 til version 19.2.1.141 (mærkelige numre!)

  • Numerous stability fixes were made
  • Child sort order is shown correctly in reports
  • Added support for GEDCOM 5.5.1
  • Numerous other fixes and enhancements

MacFamilyTree opdateret

jan 222011
 

mft6version 6.0.11 (2011-01-10)

Obs: Programmet er opdateret 10. januar, og det er den dato der står i versionshistorien. Det er dog først blevet frigivet i dag, den 22. januar.
Versionen i Mac App Store er stadig 6.0.10 – opdateringen skal jo først godkendes af Apple før den bliver frigivet her.
Nu også opdateret i Mac App Store.
26. januar: Samtidig med at jeg ser den næste opdatering til version 6.0.12, bemærker jeg at datoen for version 6.0.11 nu er rettet til 22. januar i versionshistorien.

  • Problems uploading to MacFamilyTree.com fixed
  • General Web Export fixes
  • Localization updates

Arkivalieronline uden log ind

jan 202011
 

statensarkiverStatens Arkiver skriver:

Det er nu muligt at se kirkebøger og folketællinger på Arkivalieronline uden at logge ind som bruger først.

Statens Arkiver har fjernet log ind til Arkivalieronline. Det betyder, at du som bruger kan gå direkte ind på websitet og straks begynde at se i folketællinger og kirkebøger.

Brugerne vil heller ikke længere blive udsat for timeout, mens de er i gang med at benytte kirkebøger og folketællinger.

Der skal stadig benyttes log ind, når du skal bestille arkivalier i arkivdatabasen Daisy eller se dine personlige sider på www.sa.dk.

Book Saver

jan 132011
 

Det her er vist mere realistisk til hjemmebrug end både Book Flipping Scanning og de professionelle scannere nævnt i et tidligere indlæg.

Book Saver
ION præsenterede på årets CES (elektronikmesse) en prototype af deres Book Saver bogscanner som fra juni måned skal kunne købes til $149.

Fra Pressemeddelelsen:

Book Saver allows everyone to easily transfer their favorite stories directly to convenient SD cards. Once converted, the books can be quickly transferred to a computer or e-reader.

Book Saver has two cameras that take separate images in rapid succession of each page within an open book. Both cameras of Book Saver also have a flash for allowing the page to be fully illuminated during the scanning process. Book Saver’s cradle, where the book is placed during the scanning process, is also angled as to not require the user to hold pages down to get a flat, even surface. Furthermore, while similar devices require up to seven seconds per one page, Book Saver takes only one second per two pages!

Se video og flere billeder.

(Via Eastman’s Online Genealogy Newsletter som jeg ikke vil give det svar der fiskes efter til spørgsmålet “Which would you rather carry with you, or move to you new home? Two hundred or more books, with bookshelves, or two hundred or more books on a jump drive?”)

Mac App Store åbnet med tilbud på MacFamilyTree

jan 062011
 

appleI dag åbnede Apples Mac App Store, hvis mening med deres egne ord er at gøre det “nemmere end nogensinde at få de programmer, du vil have på din Mac. Ikke flere æsker, ikke flere diske, ikke flere tidskrævende installeringer. Klik en gang for at hente og installere et nyt program på din Mac.” – og så selvfølgelig også at give dem mere kontrol og tjene flere penge.

For at bruge butikken skal din Mac opdateres til den nye version 10.6.6 af Snow Leopard-styresystemet.

I den amerikanske version af butikken kan man nu købe Family Tree Maker som download ($99,99*). Hidtil har programmet kun kunnet købes på cd. Foreløbig(?) fås programmet ikke i den danske butik.

Det gør til gengæld MacFamilyTree (MacStamtræ) som her i den første uge indtil den 13. 16. januar kan købes med 50% introduktionsrabat, dvs. til $24,99 eller 149 kroner.

* inkl. 6 måneders adgang til Ancestry.com.

Opdatering:
Perioden med introduktionsrabat på MacFamilyTree er blevet forlænget til 16. januar.

Iøvrigt er jeg – som jeg måske svagt antydede allerede – ikke den store fan af Mac App Store-ideen. Her er nogle få af grundene til det.

Kirkebøgerne er tilbage

jan 062011
 

statensarkiverSå skulle alle de kirkebøger der sidste år blev fjernet fra Arkivalieronline for at blive renset for personnumre være tilbage på nettet. I går blev de sidste(?) lidt flere end 200 kirkebøger lagt ud, primært fra Storkøbenhavn, men også fra Ålborg-området og enkelte andre jyske sogne samt fra Ansgar sogn i Odense. Tak til alle der har hjulpet med! 🙂

Jeg håber nu at kontrollen generelt er udført bedre end med den kirkebog jeg fik fat i efter at en tidligere portion bøger kom tilbage. I den var 29 numre blevet sløret, men jeg fandt yderligere 10 uslørede numre! Det indberettede jeg naturligvis, og efter et par dage blev bogen igen fjernet. Nu er den så kommet tilbage online, men jeg kan konstatere at ingen af de 10 numre endnu er blevet sløret. Hvad mon egentlig meningen er???

Opdatering:
Mail fra AO den 10. januar:

Kære Jens Peter Lieberkind
Der er desværre sket en fejl, som vil blive rette i dag.

Tjah, indtil videre er den pågældende kirkebog i hvert fald blevet fjernet endnu en gang.

En anden god nyhed fra Arkivalieronline i sidste uge overså jeg i første omgang: Folketællingen fra 1801 er blevet omscannet og er nu tilgængelig i en forbedret læsekvalitet. Dejligt! 🙂

TNG opdateret

TNGversion 8.1.0 (2011-01-04)

  • Albums: Users who were assigned to a tree could not edit an album even if they had appropriate rights (fixed).
  • Events: Users with Editor rights were not able to delete custom events in some cases (fixed).
  • Export: Note lines that consist only of an ID (eg, “@NI123@”) will no longer be escaped with double at signs.
  • Export: The PHON, EMAIL and WWW values were being exported with the CTRY tag by mistake (fixed).
  • Export: Exported files will now end with a line ending character (after the TRLR marker).
  • General: The inclusion of the standard style sheets has been moved out of the meta and custom meta files.
  • Import: Longitude and latitude values can now be imported from a regular PLAC instance (eg, “2 PLAC…/3 MAP/4 LONG…/4 LATI…”).

  • Media: The Image Map feature was broken in v8 (fixed).
  • Notes: Long notes in the “general notes” sections on the individual page will now be shown with a scrollable area in the “Personal Information” block. The General Settings can be used to change this back to the way it was previously if desired.
  • Notes & Citations: These are now sortable (using drag and drop). Unfortunately the sorting does not survive if the data is re-imported.
  • Pedigree: The text-only chart had “holes” in the lines when the individuals on the chart had no vital information listed (fixed).
  • People: The preview window for individual data was not always displaying spouses in the correct order (fixed).
  • People: The parent-child relationship indicators will now use internal values, to allow them to be translated to other languages when displayed.
  • People: Modifiers (like “Aft” or “Bef”) in the “birth-death” dates under a person’s name at the top of the page were not working in any language besides English (fixed).
  • People: When children were listed on the Edit Person page, their birth dates were not displayed (fixed).
  • People: The “exact match” search in the Admin/People area was not working (fixed).
  • Relationship: An extra prefix message ($text[‘ggreat’]) was added to support languages in which “great” is different for aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces (vs. grandparents).
  • Relationship: If no relationships are found between person 1 and person 2, the two individuals will now be swapped and the process will be run again.
  • Relationship: If the relationship between two people passed through a family with only one spouse, no relationship was returned (fixed).
  • Repositories: The Edit link on the public repository page was broken (fixed).
  • Security: The “globalization” of all GET & POST variables has been moved to a new file called “processvars.php”, and that has been moved up so it gets called before the configuration files is read.
  • Templates: Templates may now be swapped without uploading any files or losing any customizations.
  • Users: A new user’s username & password were not being removed from the “approved” message if that was selected in the General Settings (fixed).
