Personally I would be tempted to go down the Virtual Box or Vmware route rather than separate hardware, but it's up to you which way you want to go.

Don't forget no internet will also mean no automatic matching and it will be more complex if you want to copy in files downloaded from the internet.

One extra thought, certificates would normally be attached to sources or failing that events rather than direct to a person.

I assume you are actually talking about the media tab of the Property Box, you can't remove them and I have never heard anyone complain about them previously, remember the pref column is important when controlling your media order.

Is it possible your File Manager or AS is running in Admin mode, as you can't drag and drop between different levels.

Another option is to add the information to one of the Band members as a fact and then add the others as Witnesses.

Although not ideal you could use the sentence function to get back the sentence for the probate and include that in the diagram.

If you create a custom fact set fact for probate you can add the new lines into the sentence.

Yes, of course.

Simply select Add>Unrelated Individual from the menu to add the first of each family. It can also be useful to make a named list with the root of each group for quick access.

You are reading the wrong field.
BUT note that will give you a Date object and not a date point, to get a date point you will need to extract it from the Date object.

I doubt Witnessed events will appear in the Records Window or All tab, as that has always represented the Data as stored. Personally I am using Witnesses extensively, as they are easily the most flexible way to store a variety of links between people and the Property box makes it easy to see the wit...

You can't put functions other than those listed in the page header.

If you are using anything other than single Individual reports, remember the Page title will be the same for all pages of the report like Ancestors by generation regardless of which Ancestor it is currently reporting.

Just had a note from the Internet Archive to say they have made 1.4 millon digitised books available to borrow.

The National Emergency Library

You may simply be creating too big a book at one go for your PC, personally a "book" simply filled with Individual and Family Reports is probably not the way to make a usable book. Have you considered using Ancestor or descendant reports as a good starting point? Try turning off Source images if you...

Assuming "Fosters" is your Project name.
On the Project Window click on it once and then click the More Tasks button, there should be an option for Manage Snapshots there if you are using an up-to-date version of FH6.

Take the option and report what you can see there.

Be aware though that on the groups.io list every email with an attached image has to be manually approved by the list admins, so it may cause delays in posts appearing.

or you could customise it to remove lines better suited as witnesses.

With version 6, Executors and Beneficiaries should be entered as Witnesses, unless you have strong reasons not to.

This can be done using the Witness link on the Facts tab so you don't need to use a Property box tab which was done prior to Witnesses being available.

I do it this way as I don't always know how they all join up.

It still looks the same, if you want bigger icons just select them in the preferences. Personally I like the way FH looks and don't see a need to for new look. If you prefer style over substance you could try using Heredis instead. Most of the colours for FH are controlled by the windows theme colou...

Are you sure you are running the update one and not the report only version?

Those are not standard Family Historian facts and were probably calculated with the Plugin https://www.family-historian.co.uk/pluginstore/plugin-entry?id=18 You could try downloading , installing and running the plugin and see if the details are updated. There is a short video on how to install and ...

For most of the Lua 5.3 changes you can code around supporting both by checking the fh version. Any module code, which I know Mike makes heavy use of needs converting to the new table method, but thankfully that is backwards compatible to 5.1 The same level checking could be done for the included li...

Lorna,
Citations are not records, so I suspect it would be impracticable to select a citation from within the media window, how would you expect to select the citation you want to add a link to?

Opps, sorry I was looking at the wrong version.

It should also apply to Family records too according to the spec but better than nothing I suppose.

It does and you can set it in the all tab. You could write yourself a plugin to set them from the Living and or Private flag easily enough.

The pictures are selected by Priority which can be set on the Media tab for Record level pictures.
You can also omit pictures from reports, by ticking the exclude from reports on the media link.

You can't currently keep fact level pictures with the facts to which they apply.
