Question For future use Gedcom 7

For future use Gedcom 7 in webtrees I appreciate two options:
* a check if the gedcom file to import doesn't have extended ASCII (ë,í, etc.). When exporting and re-importing this will result in duplicate � characters, which will expand the gedcom files larger and larger.
* a place for saving the Gedcom tag TAG and the associed URL

Best regards,
Marianne

* a check if the gedcom file to import doesn't have extended ASCII (ë,í, etc.). When exporting and re-importing this will result in duplicate � characters, which will expand the gedcom files larger and larger.

GEDCOM 7 files do not contain a HEAD:CHAR field.

Until webtrees 2.1.16, a missing HEAD:CHAR (and encoding set to "automatic") was assumed to be ASCII (for compatibility with GEDCOM 5.5.1).
Since webtrees 2.1.17, a missing HEAD:CHAR (and encoding set to "automatic") is assumed to be UTF8.

So, 2.1.17 should now import GEDCOM 7 files without needed to select the encoding in the import page.

* a place for saving the Gedcom tag TAG and the associed URL

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you give an example?

I guess it is about the definition of Gedcom 7 extension tags, which can be defined within a schema in the head:
If I import a Gedcom 7 file in webtrees 2.1.16, HEAD:SCHMA:TAG is currently shown as follows in the header:



Therefore, HEAD:SCHMA:TAG probably needs to be added to the Gedcom7 custom tag definiton.

Thanks @Jefferson49 for the additional text, Greg asked.
The HEAD:SCHMA is not exported when exporting a Gedcom nor downloading a Gedcom using the module DownloadGedcomWithURL

Yes, this is currently not implemented in the Gedcom 7 export of DownloadGedcomWithURL.

Additional comment: It is possible to include all extension tags of GEDCOM-L in HEAD:SCHMA, if "Use GEDCOM-L" is activated in the control panel, see screenshot.
