the confusing part is, you are still able to click the location button, but as the file is going to be linked to, it is redundant, maybe the location button would be better greyed out or made inactive when the link only option is selected. That could be awkward if a user were to move a linked file ...

Yes, I store my images in various locations on my computer, mainly as I use 3 other genealogy programs (long story), and they all link to the same images. If I had them all in their own media folders, that would be a lot of duplication. When using drag and drop, if I select don't copy - Link only, t...

I think it must be me, I have shut down and rebooted my computer and now it is fine, god knows, I must be getting senile lol

Yes, I think it is since the last update, because I have just updated my desktop to 7018 and now it does it too. fwiw, I use a program called Beyond Compare to back up all my files and settings, have done so for years.

Hi All, Maybe I am going round the twist, but for the life of me, I cannot workout what has happened. I recently bought a new laptop, so I deactivated the licence on my old one then activated it on my new laptop, no issues there, but now, whenever I add media to a record, individual or family using ...

Brilliant, the file name and folder column's are a great help to me, It makes life much easier as I have images filed in various folders that make my life easier :-)

Thank You :-)

Yes, I agree, It would be even better still if the user was prompted for a directory to save it to

That's correct Neil, but nobody can find the exe that gets downloaded / installed as Mike has said. I, and others, like to have a local copy of the install file to fall back on if there are any problems with a subsequent release. In my case, when I click update, FH creates a folder called downloads...

Hi, I have used Heredis for years, I have been using version 2022 for several months now and have no issues importing a GedCom from FH 7, Whilst I do not have an iPad I use the android option of Heredis. I use Mike Tate's Export Gedcom plugin to achieve this, first into Heredis PC and then from that...

You can get it from the Family Historian store for £19.99

I am not sure if this will qualify you for a free upgrade to version 8, maybe Progeny can clarify this. I sent a message and my issue was resolved

I bought FTM 2019 in 2019 so it does not affect me anyway. I just wonder why after two years of hearing nothing from them why they decide to plug it now, maybe there is a new version in the pipeline.

Thinking about how long FTM 2019 has been out, maybe it is worth waiting for a new version?

Hi Mike, Yes, I followed the Export Gedcom File plugin help. The media does appear in the Heredis for Windows application. However, I'm struggling to get it across to the iOS app. Using Heredis for Windows 2022 and the equivalent 22 app, I tried the "Share on Local Network" but couldn't g...

Yes, just need it to recognise rich text now

tatewise wrote: ↑27 Apr 2021 18:56 If you want Charting Companion to include those then you must use the Export Gedcom File plugin as explained earlier.

I have received a reply from Pierre Clouthier at Progeny Software, with a download link to version 8 of Charting Companion, which does recognise custom attributes.

Dave.

Dave, the issue seems to primarily involve custom attributes. Custom events will be OK. So if your Project has no custom attributes or they are irrelevant to the Charting Companion charts then they will work. Agreed, I have the custom Attribute "Eye Colour" in FH7 and it is ignored by CC....

I have charting Companion Version 7.2.40 and it works just fine with my FH7 Gedcom file. I do not however, use any DNA refs.

Regards,

Dave

Pleased to say that since installing 7.0.3. I can now generate reports that also allow me to select and search text

Well I complained and this is the response I received, so it would seem the more complaints the better. They make no mention of the function to select and go to specific page numbers. Which was my original request and no more. Dear David, Thank you for your e-mail. The option to turn off the page n...

Try

I used simplewebhosting.co.uk until a couple of years ago, it offered password protections where users would email me from my website and ask for a username and password, but I stopped using it when I found several users passing my work off as their own. They did offer a good service at the time, no...

Has anyone reported this problem to CP?

I had this issue when installing v1011 and reported it back to CP

I have always used the format Town/Village, County, COUNTRY. I rarely have errors in mapping using that system.

With a 3840x2160 resolution, everything is going to be really small. see here

I have never had an issue with any reports in FH V6, but in V7 it is an absolute shambles, its not even consistent, sometimes I get a report with no text or images, just headers and footers, sometimes missing images, it gives up halfway through generating 1000 or so pages and crashes, if I refresh t...
