Importer un GEDCOM
Sommaire
Import
Importer un gedcom est utilisé dans deux circonstances. En premier lieu pour ajouter/transférer un nouveau fichier GEDCOM ou alors pour mettre à jour un fichier GEDCOM existant avec GEDCOM qui porte le même nom. In this way you are able to "download" your GEDCOM file work on it with an external software program and then import your changed file back into the system.
Before beginning the import process you should create a copy of the GEDCOM file you are working on in index directory (location of GEDCOM files for phpGedView). You then need to copy the new version of the GEDCOM file to the index directory. It should be named EXACTLY as the old file was named (Capitalisation is important in some operating systems).
Once this is done you can then go to your browser and click on the import link. A screen similar to the one below will then be displayed
In this example the fact that you are importing an already existing GEDCOM is shown to you. You will also be presented with the option to delete the data relating to this GEDCOM from your database - essentially providing you with a clearn install of that file.
You will next be presented with further options regarding the import process.
The time limit defaults to 60 seconds. This may not be long enough for large gedcom files. You may increase this time. Setting this to 0 indicates no time limit is to be used. This may hang some systems so use with caution.
When you click on "Continue" the import process will begin and an image similar to below will be displayed showing a representation of the % of the file imported and the % of the time used.
If you selected the option to import married names this will then automatically start once the gedcom file importation has been completed.
After the importation process is finished you will be given an overview of the results.
