Seasons Greetings to all FHUG users, I must have read the Autotext / Template / DEA manual xxx times recently and I seem to be going around in circles. I am trying to enhance my knowledge on setting up a Template Source for a USA Divorce document. I have the media document, and I want to select a te...

I have been guilty in the past of loading new media images and not standardising the titles, the same with the media files jpg names. It is that I was referring to when I meant preparing the data better before I run the Gedcom process (nothing to do with the Gedcom process in particular). When I loo...

Thanks for the Plugin update Mike, it worked a treat. I certainly wouldn't have been able to do the mod to the Plugin without your help. All updated little by little and checked accordingly. It also flushed out a few idiosyncrasies which I have dealt with. How you remember/know how to set up the lua...

Thanks Mike for your reply. My main issue is Baptisms, Burials and Marriages. At the moment I have no identifier in the filenames for the Baptism and Burial categories. Nearly all of these have been produced through AS so there is some standardization already. But I don't wish to have the whole stri...

I have searched and found this little gem. Screenshot 2022-12-07 160731.jpg I have used the following to see what it does and yes it does convert the Media Name to the actual File Name. My question is, I have the following Baptism below: Screenshot 2022-12-07 161059.jpg How do I edit the Plugin to p...

Ok it's been a little while regarding the Gedcom transfer from FH7 to TNG 13.1 . I will try to highlight the steps that I carried out to try to achieve a smooth transfer. I am sure that what I list below is already known by certain FH7/TNG users, so I apologize for highlighting things that some user...

Hello Tatewise and Sheepdip. Thanks again for the input. One thing that my TNG update has shown is that the TNG system doesn't cope well with lumped sources, I have only really found this out when doing this current update. The last time I updated was about two years ago when using FH6 and as I am a...

Ok, the guy from TNG went on to my system last night and he confirmed that "none of you media is linked to anyone"...which is good to find out. His last line was "I'm guessing that the links were not present in your Gedcom file". This morning I have deleted my tree again off TNG and cleared out agai...

Hello again and thank you for your input. OK, I have cleaned out my tree from TNG and the only old links that are left in TNG according to the also very helpful guy that wrote the TNG software are the media links. I removed the old GEDCOM file from the gedcommlh directory in TNG. I went back into FH...

Thank you Tatewise and Sheepdip for your input and help on this, sorry for the delayed reply but I have been away for a few days. I carried out the Gedcom TNG export (1st cut) today and all the Gedcom file and the jpegs went into the appropriate folder. I set up a new tree in TNG and imported the FH...

Hello Tatewise and Sheepdip11, Many thanks for your input........ I have to admit that this transfer between FH7 and TNG is getting me down. I have included screenshots of where and how my media data is collated in folders in FH7 and I have also given a shot of my ftp screen so that you can see both...

Thanks for your update Mike, I'll take a look at your suggestions. One question though at the moment.....If I run a FH7 TNG export gedcom and I do not select process Multimedia, i.e. it just produces the Gedcom file, and then I FTP the images across as a manual separate process to the correct direct...

Hello, I use the TNG website to display my FH database, the last time I did an export from FH6 to TNG was about 2 years ago. As I have family event coming up and many changes to my FH data (including upgrading to FH Ver 7), I thought I go through the process of utililising Mike T's plugin and run an...

I have started to look at converting England Census Sources for 1841, all of these have been created through older versions of AS. It gives me the opportunity to tighten up my links and references at the same time (as I have been a bit lazy in the past). A couple of things come to mind...... When I ...

Thank you very much for your efforts on AS Nick, quite frankly over the years that I have been using AS to help structure the input of all the main events in my database, it has been a godsend. I assume that one can just do the conversion from text to RTF as a separate process to converting from Gen...

Hello again Mike These are my current Box Diagram Expressions relating to Marriage and Relationships. I do have Marriage Icons with numbers i.e. Mr1-Mr4, I did actually put them in and it just replaced the two Mr icons showing against Louisa with Mr2 and Mr4, a bit like the relationship Icons R2 and...

Ok Mike, I seemed to have grasped the wrong end of the stick by using Edit Text Scheme. I have re-entered the information as before and I now have this: Marriage example3.jpg My original icon of Mr shows twice for Louisa which is correct. If we could either get the two Mr icons to show one Mr2 and t...

Hello again Mike, Having tried to implement your previous instructions, I hope that I haven't made too many errors!! I have removed the following from the diagram boxes: =ContainsText(%CUR~FAMS>MARR.SOUR>%,"Certificate Marriage",STD) =IsTrue(Exists(%CUR~FAMS>MARR.DATE%) and Not(ContainsText(%CUR~FAM...

Thanks Mike for your very quick response! I have made a screenshot of the pecking order, but is there a way of giving you the full list as the box with the info doesn't expand? Marriage example 2.jpg I tried changing the status of the Marriage from Never Married to Unmarried but it didn't seem to ch...

Hello again and sorry to prolong the pain! I made a decision to keep my Marriage Cert and Marriage Record expressions in the Diagram Boxes as they were (so far that is). I have been re-designing (or trying to re-design some icons) via various other very frustrating drawing / paint programs over the ...

Hello and thank you both for the input and information. I have changed the label to 'Never Married' instead of 'Unmarried' in the Diagram Box and I am happy with that. I would like to display all Marriage icons for both the individual concerned and the spouses, a bit like satyricon has achieved but ...

Fascinating thread...... so I tried it out with success!! Thanks. Two questions come from this though on my part. 1) I have an ancestor who was married twice and had a child in between the marriages, so in effect, unmarried. So now I have the two marriage dates showing in the Diagram box, plus anoth...

Hello and thanks for the replies. For what it is worth, I have stumbled upon the answer as to why Irfan 4.6 wasn't picking up my files when using /Multipage Images/Create Multipage PDF. I selected Options / Properties & Settings, Selected Plugins in the L/H Window and then PDF Options (bottom right)...

Thanks Lorna, I have already been there a few times and downloaded the newest plugins but when I come to use the option I can add the pdf files but when I select Create it says it can't find the two files that I have added. I have tried this with other pdfs same result. I personally think that this ...

Just picked up on this. That's something else that Irfanview can do. Use Options > Multipage images > Create multipage PDF. (You may need to download the Irfanview plugin for that if you haven't already got it). [/b] I have IrfanView 4.6 up to date and am trying to use the option above, but it doesn...
