[image] emyoulation: Supporting that Themes option is another wishlist item for FTV. What do you think this option should affect in FTV? In general, I think these kinds of settings should not affect other parts of the interface, as they are rather specific. But I agree that there may be peop…

[image] Brinycoolie: You have done so much already I feel bad even asking for this! Thanks, but: No, definitely don’t! I’m happy for any ideas, and I think this one definitely makes sense. In general, the timeline is still not ideal. Ranges/spans are not visualized as such, and sometimes the…

[image] emyoulation: That sample doesn’t actually contain any GEDCOM-L dialect tags … even though the header identifies as that version. That is not correct. In line 42 there is SEX X. That is no valid GEDCOM 5.5.1. It is GEDCOM 7 or GEDCOM-L and that is the reason that this is indicated in …

Thanks! That’s my fault for believing the analysis from an AI! Sorry for the misinformation
