This looks like an extremely useful addition. I'd be very interested to know more.

That's terrific Mike. Thanks very much. Will let you know how I get on.

Michael

Thanks Mike, for keeping me up to date.

Hi Mike

I've done that & got the message :no media file data found for Multimedia Record Id 914 ASID 3. I've checked the record in question but there seems to be nothing wrong with it. I don't know what the ASID 3 means or how to check that.

Regards

Michael

Many thanks for your reply. I look forward to the updated plugin in due course.

Hi Mike

I'm afraid I spoke too soon. I'd only tested it with a portion of my database, but now I have tried it with the full file I get another error message right at the end of the process: 'plugin failed to complete
.....Convert File Links.fh_lua:209: No Object Data Found

Hi Mike

Brilliant! That's sorted everything. Thank you so much for all your help. I wouldn't have had a clue where to start!

Best Wishes

Hi Mike

Sorry, but still get the same error. It hasn't got as far as the .wav files so don't know of that's fixed or not. There is a pdf file which gets the 'won't load' error message.

Thanks

Michael

Hi Mike

I made the changes as you suggested but still get the same error message re frame too near edge. Now what?

Michael

I've done as you suggested & that has certainly cured the cut-out problem. However I still get the warning about the frames being too near the edge of the photo. I've tried moving the frame as I did last time, but I still get the error message. Any ideas?

Hello Jane Now Christmas & New Year are over I can get back to looking at this problem. The updated file made a big difference & although there are still a handful of photographs which get error messages. I also have some sound files (.wav), all of which get error messages (presumably because they a...

Right. I've done that & can now see which images cause the error. What do I do about some images not being the cut-outs though?

Jane. I've managed to solve the displaying of photos. You were right. I hadn't replaced the Windows backslash with the Mac one. I've run the updated plug-in but still have a problem with frames near the edge of the photo. There are not nearly as many as the last time, but enough to make it frustrati...

Hi Jane You were right. I've altered some of the frames & it has converted correctly. However I'm now having trouble displaying the photos in Family Tree Maker for Mac. I've altered the file paths so it will link up properly but the program says it still can't find the file. If I manually find it, i...

How do I find out which image it stopped on? And how do I check the frames?

Hi. I've just run the updated plug-in but now get a different error message:
lua5/im_process.lua:158: bad argument #2 to 'ProcessCrop' (destiny image size must be smaller than source image height-ymin).
What does that mean?

Thank you Jane. I look forward to the updated file.

I've tried to run the Convert File Links plugin but keep getting the error message: 'Convert File Links.fh_lua:175: attempt to call global 'fhGetItemText' (a nil value). No changes have been made to data records.' I am using Windows XP on a Macbook Pro via Parallels. My GEDCOM files are all in my do...

Many thanks for your reply. I'll have a look at the Parallels site.
Michael

Many thanks for that. It's a great help.Can you tell me a bit more about Parallels please?
As far as I know there isn't anywhere to send a first post. I don't think you need to. Welcome aboard!

Hi
I'm seriously thinking of getting one of the new Macbook Airs. As this thread hasn't been active since last year, can anyone tell me the pros & cons of running FH on the new Leopard OX either using a Windows emulator or BootCamp?
Many thanks
Michael

I also would like to see the ability to change the numbering system. This can be done in the outline reports & it would be nice to have that in the narrative ones as well.

It would be extremely useful to have an index for the narrative reports. In fact for a long report covering several generations I think this is essential. All the other programs I have used have this feature & as FH is so good it would be great to have it included.

ID:1294

Although there is a 'related how' query it would be extremely useful if there was an automatic relationship tag on the property dialogue to show how someone is related to a root person (usually me). Many other programs have this feature & it is one thing I really miss in FH. This could also be used ...

Thanks Bob, that's solved the problem.
