Edit:
Select All: by clicking on this option all the entities of all the diagrams present in the central panel will be highlighted (i.e. they will be sorrounded by a blue, dotted line).
Select Related: if you select one entity and then choose this option, all the entities somehow related to the one selected will be hightlighted.
Expand Selection: if you select one entity and then choose this option, only the entities immediately related to the one selected will be highlighted.
Deselect All: this option is for deselecting the entities, or the relations between entities, which were previously selected.
Recalculate the Diagram: see paragraph 4.
Diagram Options:
Snap To Grid: this option is checked by default. It allows you to move the entities only to certain directions, as if an imaginary grid was there, and the lines could be placed only on the grid. If unchecked, you can move the entities as you want, with no "grid restriction".
Highlight Selected Relations: if this option is checked, when you select one entity, the relations that this one has with other, immediately close, entities will be highlighted in blue.
Show Diagram Border: if this option is checked, you can see the border of the diagram (a grey line).
Show Sanguin Lines: if this option is unchecked, the sanguine lines connecting one entity to the other disappear.
Show Labels: if this option is unchecked, the labels (names, for example) added to the individuals when creating the diagram disappear.
Show Kin Type Labels: if this option is unchecked, the kin type definitions next to the labels ("EfM" for example) disappear.
Show Id Labels: see paragraph 3.
Show Date Labels: when you create individuals you can also enter, besides name and gender, a date of birth and of death. You may decide not to show such dates; if you want them hidden you have to leave this option unchecked.
Show Archive Links: this option is valid for the Gedcom imports that have resources (and for the diagram type Archive Data Linker). In both cases, the entities that are placed into the diagram will carry a label of the type: "archive ref.: 1, 2, etc.". Such label disappears if this option is unchecked.
Settings: by selecting this option a dialog window will open, through which you will be able to customize your diagram. Such options are:
Kin Terms:
Panels:
Active Plugins: this option becomes visible only whether, and when, there are, effectively, plugins. Otherwise you will only see <no plugins found>.
Archive Linker: see paragraph 5
Diagram Tree: this option is checked by default. It is a tab located on the left of the KinOath page you are working on. It is made of two trees:
Attached: it contains all the permanent entities of the diagram.
Search Results: it contains the temporary entities of the diagram, i.e. the ones that are released from the diagram when this is saved, and which come out when searched for in a query.
However, the temporary entities under Search Results, can be made permanent. To do so: select the entity you want to attach to the diagram > right click > Attach to diagram. The entity will go under Attached.
Kin Terms: this tab can be selected only when working on a Kin Terms Diagram, and it is the one seen above in Section 2.3.
Kin Type Strings: this tab automatically appears in the Freeform (Section 2.2) and in the Query Diagram Section 2.4).
Search Entities: see Section 2.1.
Plugins: This menu simply shows you which plugins are active on the application in that ongoing session. If no plugins are present, then you will only see: <no plugins found>. This structure provides KinOath Kinship Archiver with even more flexibility, and makes it possible for third parties to develop new application features.
Window: The options of this menu vary according to how many windows of KinOath have been opened. Indeed, it simply consists of a list of the options that have been selected and opened: sample diagrams, new diagrams, etc. Each window has its corresponding menu option checked.
Help:
About: by selecting this option a dialog window will open, briefly describing the program.
Internal Help: it opens the instructions manual onto a new page of the application.
KinOath Website: it redirects you to the web page of the application (http://tla.mpi.nl/tools/tla-tools/kinoath).
KinOath Online Manual: it links you to the online version of the manual, located on the TLA webpage (http://www.mpi.nl/corpus/html/kinoath/index.html).
KinOath Forum (Website): by selecting this option you will be redirected to the following page: http://tla.mpi.nl/forums/software/kinoath, a discussion board page where you can start discussions about topics relevant to KinOath Kinship Archiver.
View Error Log: by selecting this option a page in NotePad will open, containing the possible errors encountered while using the program.
Reindex all files: this option may turn out useful when, for example, your data have been modified on a file hosting service (such as Dropbox), or on an old version of the application, and you have to synchronize these modified files with the ones present on the disk. It may not be necessary, though, to manually select this option, because the files will be reindexed automatically.
Check for Updates: this option allows you to search for more recent versions of KinOath Kinship Archiver.
