Delete (L)

This function allows you to delete a type of data present in your genealogy.

Description

Your genealogy information is stored in a Gedcom file.

In this file, each information is of a given type named Property. Example: Name, date of birth, place of marriage, etc.

You can also define your own properties. for example "_A_FAIRE" could designate an action to be carried out concerning the individual to whom this action relates. Your genealogy could thus be interspersed with data named "_A_FAIRE".

In both, this property has a code allowing it to be referenced: DATE for a date, NAME for a name, _A_FAIRE in the case of the action to be performed. This code is called a label. See the corresponding section for more details.

The Delete function allows you to delete this tag, everywhere in your genealogy, at once.

You can choose to delete any tag, and you can also choose to only delete it if its value is empty. For example, you can delete all empty dates and keep the dates entered.

 

Usage

Start this tool using the Edit / Delete menu.

The window shown above appears.

Enter the name of the label to delete.

Indicate whether the deletion should only be done for a certain type of entity.

And then check or not the box depending on whether you want to delete this label only if it is empty or even if it is filled in.

The deletion takes place as soon as you press the OK key. There is no alert.

If you want to go back, press the Undo button on the toolbar or hit Ctrl + Z.
