Custom geography was not loading if no "working directory" was provided in the short cut - fixed.
Place name cleanup FIND box now will initiate the search if ENTER is pressed.
Custom geography... county's are now be removed from the list if deleted.
Added Houston's Clayton library - analysis for several thousand volumes in their genealogy collection.
Added more Ancestry.com - several thousand additional databases now being analyzed for.
Added the ability to let users add geography to GenSmarts (not records yet... just geography)
TMG users can now use CTRL-I to "hot key" back and forth between GenSmarts and TMG. CTRL-V will paste the record id of the person you're looking at in GenSmarts.
Fixed a bug that was preventing a couple of the TOOLS...SETTINGS...SUBSCRIPTIONS TAB items from being saved.
Fixed a bug that was causing the USA county lookup to only work 80% or so of the time, depending on the style of your place names.
Enhanced ategory (B) Data Cleanup/Place Name issues... to now also provide known city names in the explanation, if we've got 'em.
A double click on a person in the My Genealogy File tab, now takes you to the To Do list tab, with the search criteria set to display suggestions for only the parents, spouses, and children of the person selected. Previously, the Query tab was populated and the display shifted there on a double click to allow experimentation with different data. The Query tab is still populated in the same way, though you'll have to manually shift the display if that's your destination.
A RESET button was added next to the To Do List <=SEARCH box, to make it easy to clear the search criteria.
For category (B) Data Cleanup/Place Name issues... where GenSmarts doesn't recognize a county within a state... we now will provide suggestions of actual county names if their names are close to what we see from your file.
Our first cut at supporting direct reading of Ancestral Quest (.AQ) and Ancestry Family Tree (.AFT) files. We've tested with the current versions of each of these... older version are a bit of an unknown until we get some user feedback...
The right mouse button didn't work on the suggestions generated via KIOSK mode or the QUERY tab. Fixed.
A new button on the My Genealogy File tab which will generate an email (or simply copy to the clipboard) the background info of the people selected in the list. Try it and hit the HELP button for a little more explanation.
People of unknown sex should now show up in generated text as "he/she"
Changed the Welcome Wizard so that it defaults less often to having you open the sample file.
For those that had their internet settings as "Modem/Always Ask To Go Online"... no update check was being done if YES was choosen when asked.
Kiosk mode was getting a "list out of bounds" error.
You can now "exclude" place names from the data cleanup place names list. They don't really go away, but rather show up with an "X" in the display so you have a visual indicator that you've dealt with this place name. Future versions will give you some display options around this. To use this, select a line in the data cleanup/place names tab that has a place name (you can't exclude "missing" place names yet), right click with your mouse and select the EXCLUDE option. Note the change in the display, which will "stick" between GenSmarts runs. See the help text for more info - it's the last item in the FAQ section.
Also... added a couple of INI file options. In the ANALYSIS section, you can use:
MaxYearForMissingPlaceName=1900
to specify the threshold for when GenSmarts will include a note in the data cleanup place names list for a "missing" item that you likely know.
and you can use:
MinYearForPlaceNameCleanup=1700
to specify the threshold for when GenSmarts will consider adding items to the data cleanup list. Places associated with events older than this won't be shown in the data cleanup list.
The values 1700 and 1900 can be any years, you'd like of course. You won't find them in GenSmarts.ini file, but you can add these lines in the Analysis section if you want to change the defaults (currently 1700 and 1900 as shown).
The mouse wheel (for those of you that have one) will now work if you simply have the mouse over what you want to scoll - you don't have to click to select it first.
A new feature for TMG V5 users - you can now filter the TO DO list using TMG flags, both default and custom in the TO DO list SEARCH box. Percent signs are use to mark the beginning and ending of each 'flag phrase'. Here's some examples of this, using a couple of the default flags:
%SEX=F% {only displays suggesitons for people with a sex flag of "F"}
%SEX=-M% +census {only displays suggestions containing the phrase CENSUS and then only for people who don't have a SEX flag of M}
%LIVING=+Y+?% %SEX=M% +birth {only displays suggestions containing the phrase birth for males who are or might be living}
Since this works for custom TMG 5 flags as well, you can do things like define a "GenSmarts" flag if you want, to mark the people you want to focus on with GenSmarts. Then a TO DO List SEARCH box phrase of %GenSmarts=Y% shrinks the To Do list to just those people's suggestions.
Fixed a Gedcom import bug that was dropping the first census event
GenSmarts now ignore curly bracket phrases in place names e.g. "Chicago, IL {my home town}"
Added an GenSmarts.INI file option in the Analysis section - specify the following line in the ANALYSIS section if you don't want GenSmarts to always try to do a global state lookup if no country is recognized:
alwaysTryStateLookup=FALSE
Take a place name like "Ontario, CA" - that will always resolve to California with alwaysTryStateLookup=TRUE (the default), because there's no recognized country/country abbreviation, but it gets a hit on CA for California. With the alwaysTryStateLookup=FALSE setting, this will resolve to an unknown if the default country isn't the USA (or unspecified).Despite the fact that the word STATE appears in the option name, it's not a US centric option - it applies equally to the first sub-country geographic division (e.g. COUNTY for ENGLAND)
We're still working on cleaning up and verifying the Ancestry.com data referenced in Version 1.0.4.13 below, as well as adding in Houston's Clayton library. It'll be a few more days yet until that's done, and... rather than include our working copy of all that data (which is a bit messy at the moment), we simply reverted back to the same data that was in 1.0.4.10. That way, this version should be a quite usable improvement to 1.0.4.10, and in a few days when we get the data from Ancestry.com and Clayton cleaned up we'll put both pieces back together again.
(TMG only) Any event that relates to a Gedcom BIRT type is now considered by GenSmarts to be a Birth event. Same for Death/DEAT, and Marraige/MARR.
(TMG/RootsMagic/Legacy) Bug fixed in the ADO level detection mechanism (see forum xxx) for description.
Inclusion/exclusion in the TO DO list search box, so you can do things like "-CENSUS" to remove all the suggestions with the word CENSUS in them. This is the same capability that was added in 1.0.4.13 below.
Removed new Ancestry.com entries from 1.0.4.13 for the time being, as per above comment.
Version 1.0.4.13 adds over 1000 additional Ancestry.com databases to what GenSmarts analyzes for. A few other changes as well... see below for a complete description.
Added over 1000 additional Ancestry.com databases to what GenSmarts analyzes for.

Kiosk mode is new - see TOOLS...SETTINGS...DISPLAY this is usefull if you don't have a file to load (e.g. in a library setting). It doesn't take affect until you set it, close, and restart GenSmarts
Fixed a bug that was causing duplicate spouse deaths to sometimes show up in the chronology.
