Warnings from GEDCOM Validator

Open m-kosina opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

When I run GEDCOM Validator from https://chronoplexsoftware.com/gedcomvalidator/updates/index.php, the following types of warnings are displayed for my ged file (only 1 for each of them)

Code Description Parent record

W463 30 character limit for file path - not enough, obsolete. The change is not allowed. W486 The value 'png' was not in the standard, but added to GEDKeeper, so it won't be fixed.

I need examples of all problem lines. Preferably with one preceding and following lines.

W491 When inserting a large note - probably even 3-4 kb in size - it makes sense to suggest converting it to a multimedia object of a text file. However, since Assuming the media files are immutable, one would need to caution that converting the note to a media object only makes sense when the note is not going to change further.
