![]() dmg file and Double-click it to mount the disk (note: your browser may do this for you automatically). The preferred is to download the macOS Intel 5.1.3. There are 3 distinctly different options for installing Gramps on a Mac: You’re welcome to any help I can provide. And the installation of Gramps on a Mac has become much more simple.Īnd, if you have the files from the 2019 MacBook, it should be straightforward to get Gramps 5.1.3 installed and those 570 people back into Gramps. OS X El Capitan is version 10.11, so your system will be compatible. The current Gramps v5.1.3 MacOS release is listed as compatible with Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5) and newer. We cannot form a partnership with FamilySearch because: 1) the project doesn’t exist as a corporate entity with the legal right to sign an agreement and, 2) even if we do incorporate, the FamilySearch agreement isn’t compatible with our software’s GNU general public license.) As the linked article describes, the process is awkward and painful. Some of those partners have free evaluation versions that can do this data scraping and then export the data as a GEDCOM. Instead, they rely on ‘partner’ products to scrape their tree data. It has no option to generate a GEDCOM data transfer file. The really bad news: FamilySearch does not have a feature to export data. (Even if you do have those files, importing those older files mean reconstructing all the extra data you’ve entered into FamilySearch for the last couple of years.) If you have the files from the crashed MacBook Pro, there are more possibilities … but all the options are painful. Now, you want to transfer the FamilySearch data to Gramps on an iMac 20. ![]() You have been entering your family genealogical data in FamilySearch’s communal Tree since 2019 after losing a 570 person Gramps Tree due to a MacBook Pro unrecoverable system crash. Is this an accurate restatement of your question: So in a way, the inclusion of media refs in the GEDCOM could be seen as a stupid mistake.Ok. The main issue here is, that there is no easy way to download pictures from Geneanet, because there is no official tool for that, at least not that I know of. Years ago, I did help desk work for the Dutch police, and when I was on duty, and received a call from a colleague who was working in the field, my first question was: What did you do? And I asked that, because in the majority of cases, it was the user who triggered something. And it’s a one street for Ancestry users too, unless they’re smart enough to rely on RootsMagic. But OTOH, the fact that there is no official tool to download them, should be a sign that this is a one way street, for normal people at least. I used that myself, and they even have a version for Linux, which is nice. The thing is, that they have a tool to upload images, because that’s probably what users asked for. And I bet that their software team is quite small, so I do understand them. ![]() And I got blamed for not accepting the system as is. I’ve been a paying customer, and asked for changes that I thought were simple. I know what you’re saying, but you don’t know Geneanet like I know them. And I have no idea where I can tell Gramps about the username and password needed for Geneanet, which are obviously not needed anyway, because Discourse CAN retrieve the picture without problems. ![]() This suggests that although I am connected to the internet, by telepathy, I assume, and my PC is too, Gramps is not convinced that we are, with we meaning me and my PC. And when I run Gramps in terminal, there are no clues in logs either, so I’m stuck. Gramps however just warns me that I need to be connected to the internet, which I obviously am, because I wouldn’t be able to type this otherwise, and then tells me that there were errors. And with some testing, I found out that, when you download a GEDCOM file from the site, as exported by GeneWeb, you wil have nice paths like this one:Īnd as you can see, Discourse immediately uses that path to retrieve the picture from my tree. Today, I met a fellow genealogist on-line, who wanted to download pictures from his tree on Geneanet. ![]()
