Any changes you have made in PGV will update the gedcom file, and that new master gedcom file can be opened in third party programs like Gramps....

Given the problems we have had KEEPING access to Sourceforge over the last few years, you must have been replying to messages to restore your account at times.

Sergey ... I'm in much the same position with a number of legacy websites which are working perfectly on PHP5.2 and PHP5.3. Moving their code to even PHP5.4 takes time and often results in strange niggles, so we have resorted to ensuring that any identified security problems with the PHP are addressed and leaving alone. In the case of PGV, I've only moved the old data to a new copy of PGV on the PHP7 server. I'm not sure the SVN copy of PGV will work on a legacy version of PHP but experiance tells...

My first question would be have you added images which you have then deleated as that is normally where the gaps come from. There is little reason to change then numbers, but '34' is probably stored as the next number anyway. There are a number of places where the database stores numbers and simply changing the gedcom record will not update them, so you are safer leaving them alone. I have sorted this type of problem in the past, but invariably after a few months it's as bad again so as long as the...
