- I rebooted and reran the report: same message.

- I uninstalled Genopro and Genoprobeta 15d, ran my registry cleaner to clean the leftovers, reinstalled both Genopros, rebooted and reran the report: same message:

If you look at closely at the red message, you'll see that the 2 dots before \pictures seem strange. Maybe a string concatenation problem within the path.

Anyway for your info, the report looks OK and the image in question is present within the individual frame. Thanks.

This error is regarding, I suppose, my last processed Pict. However I'm glad to report that the subject Pict is successfully appearing in the Report, along with the other Picts.
I reiterate that this error is probably due to a wrong path concatenation, i.e. the presence of this 'French\..\' as highlighted in red in the above screenshot.
For info
1) the entry in my FR (and ES) Rep Config file is: <Parameters _PathPictures="../pictures/" />. Are the 2 dots not compatible?
and
2) my Dirs are set up as follows:

Can the problem be corrected?
Thank you Genopro,
JC

The _PathPictures is designed to be a sub-directory of the report.  It cannot start with a double dot to indicate a sibling folder.  What you can do however is to specify a full path such as

<Parameters _PathPictures="C:\Documents and Settings\Jean-Claude\My Documents\GenoPro Reports\Guasp Family\pictures\" />

However, today I ran a FR Rep on Harry Potter's and noticed that all Picts are absent. Nae wonder because they're not in 'Guasp Family\pictures'.

So for this reason, I maintain that a Relative path, e.g. '..\pictures' should be supported because I got the initial error again today, after changing back to '..\pictures'.

Thank you,

JC

You are right, the pictures will be on your local machine and not available on the web.  The whole concept of report parameters configuration settings will be revised for GenoPro Gamma.  The _PathPictures is will be probably be moved to the Options dialog.  This is the screenshot of a suggestion from Ron last month.  I don't want to change anything to GenoPro 2007 because of the high risk of breaking something, however GenoPro Gamma will be the best place to improve the product.  One thing is the report parameters must be easily accessible and saved from GenoPro - no more need to edit Config.xml.  I am sure you have seen the conversation Wrong language for Configuration Setting popup menu where I outlined some of the ideas to handle report parameters.

There are still several questions unanswered. One feature I am considering is having a Parameter Theme.  The Parameter Theme would save the parameter configuration setting under a name.  You would have a drop-down list to pick which parameter theme you want to use before generating a report.  Under this approach, you could have as many themes as you wish, including the picture path, size of thumbnails and so on, all saved under a name.  Since each theme would be stored on a separate XML file, you could even send the .xml theme to another user, so he/she can generate a report exactly as you did on your machine.  If you create a theme for publishing online, then you could specify an URL for the _PathPictures.

The Parameter Theme would be handled by GenoPro and would not affect the code in the report skin template.

I have been using:

<Parameters _PathPictures="../pictures/" />

since V1.9 and it's been axactly what I wanted. My folders are arranged like this:

Each name represents a family tree and the pictures folder contains all the pictures in a common folder. This was just what I wanted because a lot of the pictures are common to a number of the trees.

If you make any changes, please don't break it!

Thanks
