Product Description:

ohmiGene is a complete program for the management of your genealogical data.

Available in French and English, ohmiGene works under MacOS X (PowerPC or MacIntel, including Leopard) and Windows.

ohmiGene is a 'clean' program : it works exclusively in the folder which contains it.

A database created on Mac works on PC, and vice versa.

An USB key, containing a working folder with the programs ohmiGene (PPC), ohmiGene X (MacIntel) and ohmiGene.exe (Windows) can be connected on any computer : ohmiGene is immediately operational

Data are saved in the database with the encoding UTF8 : languages as the cyrillic can be used.

ohmiGene is THE program, working with a database, which respects more the GEDCOM format (import-export).

If any context concerning the submission of a file to the church LDS is absent, almost totality of the other contexts are correctly handled (import, manipulation and export...): individual records ou family records, evnts, attributes ... without forgetting the relations (tag ASSO), the multiple identities, neither the possible doubles (tag ALIA) ... contexts often ignored by many software !

SOME CHARACTERISTICS
  • The majority of the current features are present: individual or family card, websites, quick lists, trees, fan chart ...
  • The majority of the contexts support an unlimited number of associated documents, notes (format RTF), sources and sakouveux ...
  • The possibility of easily creating lists of persons, according to a multitude of criteria. These lists can be the object of tasks in series (marks, sources...), printed or exported ...
  • Etc. .
A COMPLETE MANAGEMENT OF THE GENEALOGY
  • Modules allowing to manage the surnames, the mess of places, the sources, the documents associated, the names of the events, the sakouveux ...
  • A powerful module TO TRACK THE DOUBLES before merging them, if necessary.
  • Without forgetting a module providing some statistics, a module allowing to convert dates in various calendars (Julien, Gregorian, Chinese, Indian, Islamic, Jewish and French), a possible connection with Google Maps, etc. .
In project, if there is a request: the possibility of managing the homosexual unions.

This program has a really amateurish look-and-feel, to the point that it's unpleasant to use.

There's no attempt to follow the Mac HIG. Menus are not in the menubar but are crammed together in a corner of a window. The icons are truly ghastly, apparently scribbled by a four-year-old, cluttered, ugly, and non-explanatory. Even the text associated with (some of) the icons is often unclear (how is a "person" option different from an "individual"?) Many icons have no explanatory text, and I can't even guess what they are supposed to do; mouse-overs don't bring up tooltips. More random garish icons are scattered across the fields, to the point where they overlay text and render it unreadable.

The author is French and obviously speaks little or no English; the translation is apparently either with the aid of a dictionary or machine-translation and the result is about as incoherent as you'd expect. Again, a very amateurish attitude.

Doesn't import any GedCom files I've tried -- apparently they are the wrong version. The author apparently has made no attempt at backward-compatibility or is completely inflexible.

There are many other offputting touches -- windows don't resize, for example.

It is quite possible that this is a powerful, capable, and reliable genealogy program. However, I can't imagine trusting any data to this interface. If the author is serious about trying to sell his "Pro" version (which as far as I can see has the same interface as this free version) I strongly suggest he completely re-does the interface, following Apple's standard HIG and hiring people as necessary to make a competent translation and to produce professional-looking icons.

Because it didn't import GedCom files I didn't really try it out, so I will be relatively generous in the ratings.
