Hi – Am just taking up this big family project again and would love to have a mentor. Anyone interested in taking on this monumental task? It is just having someone there who can listen and guide… it helps with the confidence for those of us who are not really “techie”… thanks.

I wanted to download this update from your site today and Windows defender wouldn’t let me instal it due to Trojan:Win32/Fethar.B!cl – are you aware of this and have you resolved this issue?

Just upgraded to 4.2.3-1 and tried to generate a narrated website. Surnames and places are sorted alpha, but individuals are sorted by ID order.

So sorry you have Windows, but isn’t Gramps a Linux application. I don’t run Windows. I know my research is safe on Ubuntu.

If you are still interested re above queries – Windows 10 – Have you tried to right-click on download link for the file. Then select ‘save link as’. Hopefully, you can then chose the folder where you want to save it.
If you have a problem installing it, when the notification comes up that it will not install, there should be a button on the message. When you click on this you get the option to install it anyway. You may have to be signed on as Administrator, or right-click on the install file and select run as Administrator.
Windows Defender is not the best option for safety, it gives a lot of false positives. You can see how difficult it is to get MS to fix these – https://github.com/gluck/il-repack/issues/152 For this reason I do not use this. I use a very good free security suite – have done for years.

I installed the latest GRAMPS and the latest Graphviz, however when I try and run reports I get a black box flash up followed by one that says “Error from external program” File does not exist. I’m using Windows 10 64 bit.
