    I don't know if this is important but if you look at the error report (Capture.jpg) below the first 2 and the last 2 are the same.

    Yes it is an artefact of a change in v3.6.1.0 when I marked facts before birth and after death as error facts so they didn't show up in the census reports etc. I could change the error display so they only show once. I wasn't sure if showing them just once was a good thing or not though?

    V3.7.0.0 installed and two issues noticed immediately.

    1. The saved column information (positions, widths, row sort order) has been lost. Also the last column (Ahnentafel) is very narrow and poses difficulty in moving to the left.
    2. Many new Orange boxes have appeared when there is no LC entry recorded.

    Saved column info is lost as there are LOTS of new columns for the other census years hidden to only show selected country. So unfortuantely it had to ignore saved column widths etc as the column numbers had all changed and the risk of getting it wrong was too high hence a revert to default.

    Last column too narrow I'll look at.

    Many new orange boxes is odd I suspect it could be an artefact of country handling. Have you got an example GEDCOM please? In particular I need the CENS PLAC fact that goes with the Lost Cousins fact year however since this is showing as missing that might not be that obvious in which case the individual would be useful. You can send by PM if you'd rather not post details in forum.

    I will try to sort out some appropriate GEDCOM entries and send to you but in the meantime please note that all ORANGE boxes are for LC years (1841, 1881, 1911) and were all previously RED with no corresponding LC entry/fact.

    Try the following GEDCOM file. It should show 2 ORANGE boxes which were previously RED.

    Alexander, Bryman is correct. I've sent you my latest gedcom

    Here's a comparison between 3.6 beta 5 and 3.7 for all types on the same gedcom file.

    Thanks guys, it was checking the country and saying orange if it was UK rather than saying Orange if it was UK AND a valid Lost Cousins fact. So it was orange if you had any UK fact for that person.

    Interesting as to why it affected the "all individuals", dropped it by 34.
     
  11. Alexander Bisset

    There's an extra filter added due to the introduction of countries, anyone known to have been out of country (eg: UK) for ALL census is now filtered out too. So if for example you have someone born in US, Canada, Continental Europe etc, with no UK facts they will be filtered out of the UK census report as unlikely to appear on a UK census. This logic then works well for US based trees so it filters the UK report to just those UK based entries and the US report to just those US based entries etc.

    When I first created the countries I noted when looking at the report it was strange to see lots of entries where EVERY entry was "likely to be out of country" I thought it best to filter these and the result is a more usable report.

    BTW v3.7.0.1 now released with the fix for the excess vitamin C from the oranges.

    Yes, I have it, won't be catching scurvy for a while!!

    Here's the detail for 3.7.1, and I guess the missing 34 people are out of the country now. Yellows and Oranges now look fixed.

    Alexander Bisset Administrator Staff Member

    Note the increase of "all green" was a bug fix where it was only previously showing ones that were all green with no Lost Cousins greens ie: there are two green status - census not LC year (code=3), census and LC fact for year (code=4). It was only showing ones where it was all code=3, it now shows ones code=3 or 4.

    Thank you, it does make my figures look better :)

    Hmmm, what about a small summary report on the main Tab? Using the all individuals as the root then I would have

    Capture.PNG

    Maybe have a little tickbox to choose what country you want the report to display?

    But if I have 3005 individuals, why do I have 3453 some greens? I can't have more than "all" can I? :confused:
     
  15. Alexander Bisset

    It's because it added those with a code 3 and those with a code 4 together, some people have both thus seem to be appearing twice. I've added a distinct check. You can confirm you have duplicates by sorting by ID.

    It was showing the top list then adding the second group to the end and not sorting again so you just got two lists added together. Distinct will filter out records that appear twice I've also reapplied the default sort on filtering. So that the two groups are properly sorted.

    In your file "some green" has 2258 unique records and "all green" has 871 unique records.

    Done a bit more research. There are duplicate entries in the "some green" report.

    Oh dear. I'm sure my ancestor never dreamed of causing so much trouble when he went abroad to serve King and Country. :(

    The entry in the 1911 UK Census is now being recognised although he was serving in South Africa but now the LC flag is ignored yielding YELLOW instead of GREEN. Presumably, another hiccup regarding country of residence? (using v3.7.0.1)
     
  18. Alexander Bisset

    Alexander Bisset Administrator Staff Member

    Yes this is what I said the reason for the higher count was the duplicate values.
     
  19. Alexander Bisset

    Alexander Bisset Administrator Staff Member

    Yup it was checking what country the Lost Cousins fact was when it should have checked what country the corresponding census fact was. Fixed for v3.7.0.2.

    Someone remind me next time to stick out a beta version before releasing a new feature like this. :(
