Nothing that springs to mind. Storing marker sets in external files would be fine with me.

I've added a request to the wish list.

Hello I have only recently discovered the usefulness of the Mapping feature and I use it increasingly. I use many different marker sets for different purposes, but it is frustrating to me, that I cannot save the mark sets, but must start all over when I have to use a particular map and set again. I ...

To bad, but thanks for trying Mike.

yes, definitly something for the wish list!

Hello,

I can't work out how to save a marker set - is this possible?

I realize i can save the map including markes as a jpg, but i want to save the marker sets themselves to allow for later modification without having to start all over.

Regards
Erik

Ahaaa ... magic !

Thanks Helen

Hello, In all my custom source templates i have a 'flags' field. This was a later addition to my source templates with the result that the flags field number (indeks) varies from template to template. Initally not a problem, but now i want to add a 'flags' column to my Source Records list view. Had ...

Hello ColeValleyGirl,

No, I hadn't actaully seen this function. It works just perfectly.

What should we all do without helpful persons like yourself?

Thanks a lot!

Erik

Hello, I’m writing a plugin to maintain custom Flags on a group of individuals, but I’ve come to the point where I need some help, plz. I’ve started with three scenarios when adding a new flag: 1. The individual has no flags i.e. no Flags item/attribute in the property page and the INDI record has n...

aha.. it was all my Templated Sources that had the problem, as i hadn't defined any formats for Bibliography and Footnotes. Works perfectly now.

Thanks Mike - again!!!

Hello, For a Descendant Outline report, in the Sources list some are shown with only "(no text)" (please see attachment). If I examin the the sources behind the index numbers with "no text" I can't se any difference, what so ever, compared with the ones that have the propper descriptions in the list...

I was refring to Source Record:Text from source. I don't use the Citation-specifik Details. All my citation-specifik details goes into Source Record:Text from source. What I realize now is, that in fact i don't use Citations at all, but only Source Records. Anyway, it still works for me, but thanks ...

Mike, In the different Facts case, you may very well be right, that Copy/Paste of the Citation is quicker then citing an existing source. I had overlooked that feature, and have actually never user it. Now that I'm acustomed to use citing an existing source, and have the Source record id at hand in ...

Thanks for clarifying Mike. Actually, I don’t have a one-to-many relationship between Source and Citation, but rather a one-to-one relationship, which I accept is contrary to the basic design idea, and common logic for that matter. The disadvantage obviously is, that I need to repeat the source info...

Hello, The more I work with FH, the more impressed I get by its user interface, workflows, features and flexibility. Custom source templates and Autotext is extremely helpful and time saving for data entry. In an attempt to optimize data entry even further, I’ve been looking at Automatic Source Cita...

Ok, thanks anyway

Hi,

Is it possible to initialize a source property with a default value when created?

ENUM property: if populated with several values in "Prompt", can one of the values be set as default, i.e. preselected?
TEXT property: can it be initialized with a default text?

Regards
Erik

You are truly awesome Mike! At first it worked as expected, but if an Address had first been entered, and the deleted, the Place did not reappear. I expect that an Address entity is created when a text is entered, and when deleted still exists, but with an empty value. So I replaced the Exists funct...

Hi, I'm struggeling a bit with application of Place and Address. I'm not sure what the case is for UK, but In DK many records were previously organised occording to church paris, shire and county (not just church records, but also cencuses, land records etc). So my current use of Place is: town - pa...

Thanks Joop

Thanks Helen. FH i quite a versatile tool !!!

Thanks both for your reply. @Joop Good to hear :) Sure, I would appreciate a copy of your plugin. I see some info on lua.org, but is there a deveopment environment available? @ColeValleyGirl Ahaaa ... the custom query builder actually shows the full monhy of available data, and how to reference them...

Hi Joop, When I asked the question, I was basically blank on the topic of source templates, and I was ‘learning by doing’ – actually continuously failing in achieving what I wanted. At one point I wanted to restore all the sources I have messed up back to the generic template and start over. Since t...

I can't reproduce your problem. I presume you first save the chart in FH to a .jpg and then insert this into word. How does the .jpg looks like if you open this as a picture?

Thanks Mike
