Known issues and current status for the redesign of the landscape and portrait pedigree views:

Clif Bergmann

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to check out the changes and send us feedback.

I can't view portraits/children/switch alternate spouses/parents!

• The pedigree view option "Marriages" will hide marriage information on the landscape pedigree view.
• Children drop-downs can be hidden by disabling the "Children" landscape pedigree view option.
• "Alternate Parents and Spouses" option is now a separate pedigree view option that must be enabled for the associated buttons to show.
• "Portraits" is a pedigree view option that disables rendering of portraits, even if you are on the portrait pedigree.

Requests:

• Add a pedigree view preference for each user to choose between the large person sidesheet and the traditional person card popup.
• Add a link to printing partners, like treeseek.com.
• Improve performance (feels slower/laggier than the old pedigree).
• More compact node display. By default. But also when not displaying portraits, and/or marriage information and children drop-downs, reduce the whitespace inside of nodes, and make the pedigree layout more compact, like the old one does.
