Pocket Genealogist Version 2.80
Pocket Genealogist 2.80 is now available. This release adds a couple of very nice and much requested enhancements. This is a free upgrade for current users.
Major Changes:
(1) "Basic" now supports data entry.
(2) There is a new Ancestor and Descendant Tree View. "Basic" will allow display up to 3 generations at a time, "Advanced" up to 255.
(3) There is a new Backup/Restore function for your databases with the "Advanced" level.
(4) Both "Mounted" and "Object Store" memory databases are now supported. The old default was "Object Store" but the new default is "Mounted". The user guide has more details but in a nutshell if you have a large database or want to use the most memory efficient and fastest format, use "Object Store". However, you can't use the new backup function unless the database is "mounted".
Other Changes:
(1) The color selection screen for the "3-gen" display has been reworked to be more representative of the actual display.
(2) The "Edit", "Master Lists" menu now includes Source Type, To Do Category, Parent Relationships, Child Relationships, and Child Statuses.
(3) There is now an option of specifying the "port" that is used during synchronization. This may be helpful for those using a firewall program.
(4) Better support of PC-Ahnen 2004 GEDCOM imports.
You can get the downloads here including a new 2.80 User Guide.
