User Reviews

  • I really like this plugin. After years of looking at GEDCOMs in all the same color, this really helps. One thing. I do have trouble seeing one of the colors. The overview says the colors are user configurable, but I can't figure out how to do that. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Bill
  • Very happy with version 0.5.0.170 that works fine with Notepad++ (v8.4.2). José Constant
