After creating the person you can go to the "Description of personality" by double-clicking the left button on the right person or right click and select the menu "Details about this person."

  Filling the field of person, you can use a shorter key input operations copy and paste selected blocks of text (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-v, Ctrl-x).
  If name name is entered as 'Surname1 (Surname2)', then Surname2 be considered maiden name. Accordingly, if Surname1 missing, then it will be deemed that the person is no marriage surname. And later exporting to HTML-file that person falls to the group.
  Near field responsible for the settlements is adding buttons settlement with base communities (picture of the globe with a "+") and editing database settlements (picture of the globe with a pencil).
  Base settlements enables tie given locality of reference on the World Wide Web. Binding locality of reference provides the ability to use these links when exporting to HTML pedigree of this site. Usually you can use the links to the settlements in wikimapia.org or other similar resources.
  Reference should introduce himself or paste them from your browser by viewing certain place on the map.
  Example: for Kiev link will http://wikimapia.org/#lat=50.4303928&lon=30.5200195&z=10&l=0&m=b
  Button to add the city to select the desired settlement with existing ones.
  Edit button allows you to add to the database a new location, and also edit content base.
  When editing notes in the Description of person, you can insert a link to existing individuals in the pedigree (chain icon with smiley) or external reference as the Internet (chain icon labeled www), and the local files (icon chain). There is also a button off display links in the Description of the person (this can be useful when you need to proofread the text and links interfere. These links will be used for export pedigree in HTML format. Added All local documents, links to people with your pedigree or links to external objects will be reflected in the descriptions of entities created website. far there are limitations: one reference to a paragraph of text.
  In the gallery you can add and delete pictures, make them signatures. If the left mouse button to click on an image from the gallery, you can see it in the original size. Re-click on an open photograph or pressing "Enter", "Escape" closes this window.
  Above open a photo may be displayed (if available) icon reduce the size of photos up to window height. After converting the icon to change the icon that allows you to restore the original display size photos.

  After creating the gallery or the introduction of certain changes triggered autosave project.
  When you create a portrait of a person, you can select the area photographs that will fit portrait person.

~b          Saving and loading data.

  Data is stored in its own format. Rid of folder ".rodovid/projects/".
  Himself data file contains only descriptions of persons, their family relationships and portraits of people.
  Galleries, base settlements, file description, and future options that will be introduced in future versions are stored in the directory of the project.
  For a complete transfer of information necessary to carry pedigree file with the appropriate folder.
  To simplify this operation is a function of archiving project. This is essentially the creation of tar-archive. So if you want you can unzip program like Rodovid and third-party archivers.
  Packing and unpacking archives on slow PC insufficient for a particular archive RAM may slow the process. Increased memory usage when working with the archive depends on the number of photos used in the project.
  Packaging is done only for open pedigree. Extracting archive automatically in a folder with pedigrees. After unpacking the archive, unpacked pedigree can download the program.
  Export in GEDCOM genealogy files allows you to store data in GEDCOM format the data in the code page UTF-8 with retaining links to pictures that are in the galleries of each individual.
  Import data from a GEDCOM file allows you to download files that are saved in the GEDCOM, and the data presented in the code page UTF-8. This implies that the GEDCOM file and photo files are in one folder. Photo files are searched relative location of GEDCOM-file.
  If you want to import files from other code pages (windows 1251, etc.), it is necessary to encode GEDCOM file in UTF-8 format and change in GEDCOM file code page in the line that starts with the tag CHAR.
  As an example: if you have a CHAR ANSI, it must be changed to CHAR UTF-8.
  Since the file GEDCOM file paths photographs indicated as an absolute path to a file, then transfer the pedigree from one PC to another, the path to file changes. Therefore, during the file transfer photos advisable to retain maximum similarity path to the file in the new locations of photos. This is especially true when transferring data from Windows to OS Linux/GNU or vice versa. In these cases, will have to remove (or add) the drive letter (for example, C :). This can be done manually with a text editor by using the replacement of one of the photos on the way to another (depending on where you moved the files). This method is suitable for more complex situations where files are located in different folders, and you can not build in one folder. For situations when all the files are in one folder, you can do this automatically when you import the file. After selecting a GEDCOM file to import window will change routes. In the first box you can enter what we change. In the second box - what are changing.
  Example:
  Suppose we have a file GEDCOM (the Windows version), the following ways: E:\DOX\Drevo\Levk\file1.jpg. A portable OS in Linux/GNU all the files in the directory /home/user/.rodovid/projects/, where is the file according GEDCOM, which we import. And there will lie files like Levk\file1.jpg. So we moved Levk folder from one PC to another.
  Then in the first row (which we change) we write "E:\DOX\Drevo\", and the second line (which we change), we did not write.
  If you do not have to change the import, simply click confirmation replacement.
  After importing GEDCOM file first picture in the gallery each person (if any), automatically becomes the main photo for this person and will be displayed on the desktop application.
  When exporting to HTML format, you can choose what we export and what settings. It can be pictures, documents, family tree of every person. If exports are persons who have no names, instead of missing names will be substituted surname in default (see section Preferences). If pedigree there are people with the same name (for example there are 2 people with the name 'Vasily Vasilenko'). Then the first of them to distinguish them, adds its ID. His name on the created site will appear as 'Vasily Vasilenko ID 123'. In the pedigree file name does not change.
  You can save a tree pedigree as a drawing command "Export -> As picture" in the "File" menu. It is mandatory to specify the file extension (jpg, png, bmp, gif, fif, tiff, jpeg, ps). After this expansion and will set the format of the resulting file. Using the action "Export -> As picture" hidden lines (if any) will be displayed in the figure as unconcealed.
  You can insert a branch of an existing family tree format. Rid of outdoor pedigree "Paste pedigree" in the "File" menu. Pedigree will inserted in place desktop that currently is selected by the user. After opening branches pedigree, it will slip closer to existing trees, if will be more than 100 pixels. Also in the case of overlapping trees on each other, will their alignment. Once downloaded, the branch will be seen as a group and it can be moved more accurately you need in place.
  Export to CSV spreadsheet file allows you to get file as a table of data that can be treated in LibreOffice Calc, Excel or other tabular editor that understands the format CSV.

Maybe even include photos, which are included in the gallery of the person.
