Handpicked Software

GEDitCOM is the customizable genealogy application for the Macintosh (including Mac OS X) for editing and viewing GEDCOM genealogy files. Using the GEDitCOM customization features, you can design your own genealogy user interface. Or, if you prefer, you can use the Default Format that comes with GEDitCOM.

What’s New:
Version 3.80b1:

• Many internal changes were done (regarding resources) that address two issues. First, GEDitCOM can now fully be run by users without administrative privilidges. Second, the internal changes may evenutally lead to a universal binary version of GEDitCOM (more on this subject later).
• A new command for export styles permitted addition of a new export style (called “Fix INDI to FAM Links”) that can repair files downloaded from Ancestry.com that are lacking all the required individual links. The new export style is in the download, but may move to a downable export style once this version is complete.
• Fixed bugs dealing with scrolling in dialog boxes when more than 32767 individuals and not allowing detaching of association links to non-individual records.
• Besides the above changes, you can look for other changes in the What’s New help topic accessible through the help menu.
• Send bug reports to bugs@geditcom.com.
• Even if you do not find any bugs, please still send email to bugs@geditcom.com to state all looks OK. For such emails, please give information about your Macintosh. It is important to verify that GEDitCOM works in various MacOS’s 8.6 and above. (Note that Apple is not fully supporting Carbon application features for 8.1 to 8.5, but most should work).
• If you have suggestions, send them along.
• Some things will change before the final version is released. You should replace any beta versions you download with the final release when that is available and you should not delete your older versions until after that time.
