Family Historian User Group

Thank you so much for your help Mike.

Hi Mike,
I've had another look at this, and my path is showing; Documents/Family Historian Projects/Family Historian/ Program Data (Fact Types and other folders including Plugins Text Schemes etc. are held within this folder.

Following on from my last post, can I just ask, if I selected File, Import/Export - Import Fact Set would this be in my Documents- Family Historian Projects- Family Historian Program Data - Fact Types - Custom & Standard and click on Custom and import from there, or: Family Historian Projects - ...

Many thanks for the information Mike. I'll have a look and see.

I have a question regarding the Back up and Restore Plugin. I only use the standard diagram and queries, a few plugins from the plugin store on the Tools tab, plus Custom and Kinsfolk fact sets, could I use the File, import fact sets option instead of the Backup and Restore plugin for future reinsta...

All is working well now, thanks again for you help Mike. Much appreciated.

Thanks Mike, please can you let me know what I should do next.

I chose Copy All Old Files and now FH is asking If I should delete this file, Is this correct? I don't know how I got into such a muddle with this, sorry.

Yes, I did create the plug in this afternoon, I couldn't find my back up folder so started again.

Hi Mike, Yes, I've had to do a complete re-install of Windows 10 because I've got a new hard drive. Many thanks for your help.

I've got into a bit of a fix re-installing the above on my laptop, and somewhat unsure as to the next step, I've done the first part of the restore - options - select Registry Data Keys and I'm not sure if I should choose Copy Old Backup File, Keep New Current File, Copy All Old Files or Keep All Ne...

Found it! my pop up window wasn't wide enough.....Thank you so much Mike

I've looked in the FH7 knowledge base for help with adding tables into a note or source, but I can't find how to go about ? I don't seem to have the icon. When I click on Add new generic source on the citation pane and select the source note under Citation-specific Details. I don't have the option t...

Thanks Mike, much appreciated, All good.

Thanks Mike, I didn't realise it was seen as a summary. I do only ever use one Text from Source field and it is always in the source record so it would be great if I could customise the citation tab, please could you let me know I can do this?

I've added a citation and source to FH7 and wondered if there was any way to shorten the title shown in the text from source, what I would really like is just the text in the box below and a short description in the section above and not the first line of the text if possible? I'm still finding my w...

Sorry, I've got no idea what that means, Maybe I'll just leave things as they are! Lol. Thanks anyway.

Thank you, I've looked at the two topics you mention, and tried to use the Customising V7 to use V6 (Simple style sources) but got stuck on:
' Set Height to Variable and adjust Weight ok but I didn't know what the weight to reflect the share of the vertical space meant.

I've downloaded a trial version of the above with a view to upgrading to FH7 and after playing around with it for a couple of days decided I don't really want to use the templates as all of my sources were manually added using the Add Text to source option on the Facts Tab. The only way I could find...

Oops Sorry! the Marriage allegation is my custom fact. Apologies for the confusion.

Thank you both for your help. I'm going to use the standard Marriage License fact and link my source to that.

I'm in the process of adding the above to FH. As I don't have the allegation and just the bond, the only Fact types I could see are for the Marriage Allegation or Marriage Contract. I don't really want to use a custom fact. I thought another way would be to just attach the bond as a source to the ma...

Thanks for explaining that Mike, does the job

After using the split tree helper I'm now using the above Plugin to scale down my family tree ready for exporting at some point. I'm a bit confused by the drop down lists for the Select Trim Place and address Fields mode for the columns, being 'delete all columns or keep last or keep last or 1, 2, 3...

Yes, I did think about doing that Mark, thank you. I'm going to spend some time going through it all over the next few days or so, before I decide whether or not to go ahead.

Thanks Mike, When I used the split tree helper, I was left with a number of facts that I didn't want to upload on Gedcom, but I chose the delete all facts option, I realised afterwards of course it that it also deleted all the dates of births, marr and deaths. So I had to start all over again! :P I ...
