Handle DEAT/MARR/DIV Y

2008-05-17T19:42:19Z

Patrick Texier requested that info page displays when person has DEAT Y, or MARR Y, or DIV Y

I just implemented a revision to birth & death display which handles this for death, but marriage is a separate section of code (& currently ignores DIV).

Improve "const correctness"

2005-07-11T21:00:23Z

Would you like to apply the advices from the article
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Const_correctness" to
your sources?
I suggest to add the key word "const" to the type
specifiers for parameters like the following.
- ttl (function "ask_for_indiseq")

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/lifelines/lifelines/src/liflines/llinesi.h?rev=1.67&view=markup

- ttl, prmpt, basedir (function "ask_for_db_filename")

Shared libraries

2005-07-07T18:26:19Z

One more modification request that would make it easier for an OpenBSD port/packages: use shared versions of libiconv and libintl instead of statically linking them. Thanks.

Install location for man pages

2005-07-07T18:24:47Z

I am working on a port to submit into the OpenBSD ports/package tree. Would it be possible to modify the installation procedure so the the man pages are actually installed to the locations specified by the configure script?

Make !x GEDCOM indentation configurable

2005-06-20T17:19:33Z

Make !x GEDCOM indentation configurable

When displaying in a Gedcom-like format (for example, in
response to !x), LifeLines uses a 6-space indentation
for each level. I am writing to request that this
amount of indentation in a future release be changed so
that it not be any predetermined amount, but that it
become instead a configurable quantity (with 6 as a
reasonable default).

Provide a way to delete a source record

2005-01-03T05:02:48Z

As far as I know there is currently no way to delete a
source record, right?
I believe it may even be so stated in the
documentation. I think it would be useful to be able
to do that.

confirm box before swapping families

2005-01-03T02:30:17Z

RFE on mailing circa August 2004 by Jens Arvidsson:

When using the "Swap two families" command, the current
LL behaviour is (provided the person is a spouse in two
families) to automatically switch the families, no
questions asked (a message is shown in the message
panel though). I think that it would be useful to be
prompted before the switch is done, since it is fairly
easy to invoke the command by mistake and then miss the
message (I sometimes do this when I really mean to
press "!x").
