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 get it to s...

Excellent, that is a better solution. If only all product developers were so accommodating!

Yes, just need it to recognise rich text now

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, 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.

Dave

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

%INDI.~SPOU[1]>FAMS[1]>MARR[1].DATE%

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...

I have just installed FH v7.0.1.3 and it invoked an unannounced PC Restart which could have destroyed work in progress!

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...

Installing v7.0.1.3 did not require a reboot, so that's an improvement, I suppose.

Same here, but I think that was fixed in v7.012

I do hope that they actually go on to do a review, I will be interested to see how the reporting comes out in any review.

I too received the email from CP and the link to 7.0.1.1. In view of the previous comments about installation problems I think I'll wait a while for further feedback before trying to install. In my case the email told me that two of the bugs I have reported have been fixed: 18321|Diagram text schem...

I also received an email saying that the issue I reported had been fixed. I downloaded the update and ran it on my main and my laptop, in both cases, I was forced into a reboot without warning, luckily, the blue screen was brought up, and I had the option to force close and reboot anyway , or return...

As a matter of interest, which pdf program do you use? and how accurate is it running OCR on the image? NitroPDF. Seems pretty accurate. But no individual would buy it now -- they've gone the way of so many good programme -- towards the commercial marketplace. Thanks, I have the adobe suite so have...

PDF generation creates a PDF faultlessly (albeit as an image) because I suspect of the 64Gb of memory I have; and then my PDF program converts the image to text etc. So no help to CP as the memory issue is obvious once you twig that FH is producing images. And I don't use the facility at all -- I d...

The updated Export Gedcom File V4.1.2 (18578) excludes Sort Dates from FTM if you would like to try it.
