I understand that only a pointer to the photos location of the photo is actually stored in Reunion, but why can't the IPTC caption/description be read and inserted?
Many graphics applications such as Photo Mechanic, Photoshop CS and Elements, Lightroom, Bridge, Aperture, iPhoto Graphics Converter, iView Multimedia, Expressions, etc., allow for entering EXIF/IPTC Metadata, as well as read that data.
Currently one has to open the photo in one of these applications, copy the caption, then go to Reunion and paste it in the comments field? Doable, but inconvenient.
Can anyone explain why Reunion cannot read this information? ]]> Using Reunion 10 Chuck Mathews http://www.reuniontalk.com/showthread.php?t=7575 http://www.reuniontalk.com/showthread.php?t=7574&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 19:56:26 GMT Has anyone else found that some of the links in the User Manual for Reunion 10 do not work? i.e. I type an item to Search the manual and nothing... Has anyone else found that some of the links in the User Manual for Reunion 10 do not work? i.e. I type an item to Search the manual and nothing happens when clicking on Enter. Also at the bottom of Table Contents the links do not work. All links in the manual body of table of contents work just fine.

Secondly, can someone tell me how to ascertain number of people using a single source? Thanks!!

When I try to sync and choose "Get changes from device", it finds my iPad and family file but says in the description "does not belong to this family file". What could be the problem?

Should I delete the family file from the iPad and start all over?

I can see a person in the index, but when I open their card, it's blank.

I tried to re-add the info for the person as a test, now they're in the index twice. With two different changed dates.

Before I do something I will regret, anyone know what to do?

I'm testing out Reunion as a possible solution to help me migrate from Windows. The main Gedcom data import seems to be OK, but I'm having a problem with photos. The source program is a British product called Family Historian - it's really great but I desparately want to dump my Windows VM.

When looking in Reunion, the photos are of a greyed stock image with a red question mark. I assume this means it hasn't either imported or located the images. Unfortunately I can't see from any of the options where it thinks it is looking (the "Reveal in Finder" option is greyed out).

My images are in a number of different folders, based upon the family branch (Surname) and then the type of image (photo, certificate, census).

So for example for my direct branch I'd have the images stored as follows :

~/Documents/Genealogy/Adshead/Adshead Census/
~/Documents/Genealogy/Adshead/Adshead Images/
~/Documents/Genealogy/Adshead/Adshead Certificates/


I've tried resetting the default for multimedia to the root folder ~/Documents/Genealogy but this doesn't work.

Examining the Gedcom file with a text editor, I see this type of reference to the image :

1 _FILE \\.psf\.home\documents\geneaology\Adshead\Adshead Certificates\Adshead, John (I28) - Marriage Certificate.JPG

Just out of interest I changed all of the Windows directory references to Mac ending up with :

1 _FILE ~/Documents/geneaology/Adshead/Adshead Certificates/Adshead, John (I28) - Marriage Certificate.JPG

I then re-imported but that hasn't worked.

I'm sure the answer is obvious (or at least I hope so .... I've got a lot of images and I don't want to have to re-import each individually).

Can anyone help ?

Many thanks.

For the second time I find myself having to circuitously undo something that I entered prematurely or entered on the wrong couple. You can't click out of the page without getting all the now-unwanted children appearing as Unnamed. It's not a question of being "Done" entering them when I've entered them in error (thought I was on the record of the correct couple, when I wasn't, or a similar mistake on my part).

I have searched the manual but don't see how to do that. Information in the memo column is as important (often) as the date and place.

According to the manual entry (seen when I select "People Sidebar" on the Help menu) I'm supposed to be able to type names to find people in that sidebar. My preference setting is indeed set to update lists as I type. And yet, if I type "jacks" (as in the first few letters of my own last name), I get a list of 5 names which DO NOT begin with those letters.

I've encountered this multiple times. It is usually resolved by rebuilding the cache, but it's not reasonable to be require to do that every time I open my file!
