    Hi,

    If gedcom switching is allowed (Config) is there any way to only have the gedcom’s that a user has access to (User Privileges) show on their Welcome screen?  I have switching allowed and users with access to only one gedcom see a list of all gedcom’s.  Maybe I’m doing something wrong.

    In addition it appears that a user with access to only one gedcom can see multimedia from other gedcom’s that they don’t have access to.  Again maybe I’m doing something wrong.

    Cheers,

    Phred the 2nd..

    About your multimedia qustion:

    That's a known bug.  I'll see about fixing that when I have some time.

    Thanks for that.

    IMHO, a user’s Welcome page should only show gedcoms they can access.  Showing all gedcoms is kind of a security issue in that it gives, those prone to such activities, a challenge to find a way to gain access to the forbidden fruit.  Just my opinion.

    Again, thanks to all the developers for their hard work.
