Hi, link rot is pretty much out of our control, so thank you for noticing and fixing them :) --[[User:Sam888|Sam888]] ([[User talk:Sam888|talk]]) 00:15, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

I'd like to have an offline conversation with you and our webmaster, Sam.  Updates to MediaWiki images tend to take a day to validate.  Before that they show up incorrectly in the GUI. But I also have seen an inordinate number of upload PNGs saved in GIMP which fail to validate.
  
Thanks, will try my best to find them 👍 --[[User:CallMeDave|CallMeDave]] ([[User talk:CallMeDave|talk]]) 22:53, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for beginning to attack the GEDCOM import/export documentation.
 
 
 
The other day, had a new user ask if Gramps actually supported GEDCOM import. My first reaction was to think "OBVIOUSLY it does, RTFM!" It seemed like this would be a quickly handled question where I could just (kindly) point them at the appropriate subsection of the Import page.
 
 
 
No such luck.
 
 
 
I started searching and there wasn't an obvious page with the step-by-step process for the ideal problem-free import & a "clearing house" or "portal" page to troubleshooting GEDCOM idiosyncracies. Worse, bits & pieces of the critical information was scattered everywhere.
 
 
 
Like the Download page, the basic import page has grown so convoluted (and choked with caveats & tech detail) that it has become scary for the new user.
 
 
 
I've never needed to use the GEDCOM. So thanks for working on it.

Updated images not posting correctly

Hi CallMeDave (Could you eMail emyoulation at yahoo dot com and tell me which Dave you are? Several people have confused with Dave Scheipers.)

I'd like to have an offline conversation with you and our webmaster, Sam. Updates to MediaWiki images tend to take a day to validate. Before that they show up incorrectly in the GUI. But I also have seen an inordinate number of upload PNGs saved in GIMP which fail to validate.
