*Please be aware that the upgrade to version 4 will
only work for users who have the FULL version 3.
Written for the UK by a leading UK software designer. A new concept in
genealogy programs that allows you to enter your family by drawing a tree.
Full support is given for sources, notes, facts and linked multimedia
elements. For researchers it provides support for Queries and Reports.
New features in version 4 include:
- A new hub component window called the 'Focus Window', with views
for spouses & children, parents & siblings, ancestors and descendants.
It is designed to make adding relatives and moving around a family tree,
completely intuitive and easy.
- The main 'Property Box' (for data entry) has been reworked so that
it too is now easier than ever to use. Users can configure its appearance,
customize it, move it, resize it, or 'dock' it to the side of the application
window.
- Project management capability has been added. The program automatically
looks after all your project files for you (including picture files
and other multimedia, saved charts and more) in a dedicated folder on
your hard disk.
- Multi-level undo/redo lets you make changes in confidence, knowing
that if you make a mistake you can easily undo it (this is the most
voted-for feature on users' wish lists).
- Full support for same sex relationships has been added.
- Support for multimedia, and especially pictures, has been significantly
enhanced. Thumbnail views have been added to make browsing pictures
easy. You can now link pictures to events and attributes. Adding pictures
and multimedia is easier than ever, as is browsing all the pictures
in your project - thanks to extensive filtering options, including keyword
filtering, in the Multimedia Window. Support for pictures has been improved
in reports, and there is an all-new multimedia report.
- Charts, reports and queries can all now be saved in PDF format. With
charts, you also have the option of saving the entire chart as a one-page
PDF file.
- Extensive power-user features have been added, giving power-users
much greater scope to extend and customize the program than ever before.
Ordinary users can also benefit through the ability to download program
extensions written by power users, from Family Historian user websites
(e.g. www.fhug.org.uk).
- Enhancements to charts and diagrams.
- Improved support for website generation and for family tree CD creation.
