The calendar button in date fields usage is unclear. It seems that clicking on it toggles the date requirements. 1 click for year, month, and day. Another click and the date requirement is year and month, and another click for year only. That seems to be the behavior we see, but I'm not sure if that's intended.

If that is the intended behavior, is there a way to show where the requirement is at the time? Each click resets the field, so sometimes you just have to keep clicking until you find the right one.

First a big kudos for a well executed project idea. Family tree chart is something many people need but there are few good tools available.

My comments about the project:

1. The fields for each person is quite limited. In addition to names and birth/death dates, there should also be fields for: gender, occupation, schools, city/country, and probably other user-specific fields. Usually for a family history, there are many snippets of information.

2. The printing of the family tree should not be under Export, it is not obvious. Also there should be some options to allow the report to include the fields we want to include.

3. Most people only maintain a few family tree charts, perhaps one on each side of the spouse. For a multi-generation chart, it is easier to keep each nuclear family as one database, and allow a node to hyperlink to another nuclear family. In my own chart of five generation and up to 10 sibilings at each generation, it is total chaos to try to chart it.

4. Perhaps it is possible to include a sample family tree database in a new installation? It will make it easier to learn how to use this tool.

When adding an individual, if the individual is the top level, meaning, they are no parents for the person yet, show a parent element for mother and father.

I wish to run the software for on my system 32 bit Windows 7. But it is not allowed to run.

I think will be good fo UX if app will automatically open directory with exported dataset/image.

Could you add license of the project to the repository?

Hi, thanks for your amazing unique app! Can you please add better right-to-left language support and better fonts for Arabic/Persian languages? I could help you pick a font and even add a translation for Persian users.

I'm not sure what this would take. Looks like there's code to do this already but it will likely have to match your format

To me this is confusing. the "Child of Former Pa.." should be clear via the line who their parents are.
Also, seems off to have the lines drawn up from "current partner" to parents when it really ought to be from "jace me"

Gedcom import doesn't work
