I have 2 questions related to the interactive tree and was waiting to upgrade to 4.2.4 before asking the questions.
The first question is an issue that has always been present. I think I may have mentioned it a while back, but it is still there. If you expand a few of the boxes on the interactive tree that have photos with them, then click on the + or - in the control box on the left, all of the pictures become very tiny. The only way to restore is to refresh the tree and begin again.
The second is more cosmetic. I like to use the interactive tree to see which individuals I need to find photos for. To do this, I need to find whoever my starting individual is, then open the interactive tree, and then expand each box individually to see who has a photo and who does not. I would like to have it so when I open the interactive tree, all of the boxes are in the expanded mode instead of the non-expanded. Is there an easy way to change this behavior?
Thanks,
Doc

Why would you not use the pedigree or descendants displays to locate possible candidates for profile photos? There they are readily displayed and there is no need for expanding or contracting. Obviously, there is a cut-off for photos, the early 1800's, so find an ancestor (Patriarch) for each branch, display a descendancy chart with 8 or 9 generations and the missing candidates will be evident. I would think this a much better solution than the interactive tree. -Stephen

Thanks, the descendants does work well for this. I guess I just like the formatted layout of the interactive tree, but for what I am trying to accomplish the descendants tree will do.
