I have problem with Found Files not finding a database I just created.
I’m beginning a two or three week project to print off a family history for an upcoming family reunion. I’m going to be brave and do it with RM11 if I can, even though RM11 is brand new. If there is a problem, I can still print the report for the reunion with RM10. I have a lot of changes in the RM11 database already, but none of the changes affect the reunion.
Here’s the folder containing my RM11 databases. It’s in the OneDrive folder which I always keep paused when I’m using RM. jerryrm11.rmtree is my production database. peters_reunion_2025.rmtree is at this very instant an exact copy of my production database. I made the copy from Windows File Manager, not from RM. I will have to mangle up peters_reunion_2025.rmtree a bit before printing. After printing I will delete peters_reunion_2025.rmtree. My production database will not be touched by the mangling. So it’s not like I have to backup my production database, mangle it, print, and restore it. I do all the mangling in a copy.
Here is a copy of my RM11 folder options. My database folder is named RM11.
After I click on Open an Existing RootsMagic file, this is what I see. Why isn’t it showing me my RM11 databases under Found Files? I know how to find my files by clicking on Browse for File, but why should I have to do so?
Browsing for the file works just fine as shown below. But again, why do I have to do so? Why isn’t my new file in the Found Files list? It’s certainly an *.rmtree file, and it certainly is in the correct folder.
