Yes - I uninstalled the 32 bit version and ran the new 64-bit installer and it installed and ran the application correctly.

Thanks,
Simon

Hi Nick, Yes - to confirm, I am running the ARM developer version of Windows 11 Pro, using Parallels Desktop 17 on an M1 iMac. I tried the new versions of the install files v7.4.2. The 64 bit install ran but when it finished, and tried to run the application, it came up with an error message saying ...

Thanks for this thread. I have also just upgraded my iMac to an M1 based product. Using parallels and Windows 11 VM I was able to install FH 7 but I can't install AS due to the installation error.
Guess I'm adding sources manually for a while.

Thanks Mike - by importing the exported gedcom and media into Heredis for Windows and then dragging that entire folder across to Heredis in iTunes - it worked! Thanks Malcolm for the suggestion of GedView. I did pay the £5 and try it but I couldn't see any media associated with each person. I didn't...

I did read the help and advice. I chose not to tick the folder structure option as I thought if the images were in the same export folder, it would be easier to port to another device. The problem seems to be that the Gedcom includes the root file structure for the export folder. If the folder moves...

I tried GEDexplorer but I don't really like the interface. However, I think it explained to me why the media isn't working. The image links include the root file structure (.temp/C:/familytree/...) and the images are on a USB drive (or iCloud storage, I tried both). Would it be possible to export th...

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 se...

Has anyone got Heredis to work with media file (photos)? I've tried importing the GEDCOM into the app and going via the Trial Windows version and then across to the iPad but although the information is there, all the photos are blank and "missing".

Thanks Tatewise.

The expression example you gave should work for my BMD needs. So I guess, I'm now happy with the Ancestral Sources removal of flag support

I have created "expressions" for the census date events so removed the need for those flags. It would be nice if they could be grouped in the Boxes Condition as the flags are though to make it tidier. However, what about BMD certificates? I also use flags and icons for those. Can an expression be us...

I do use the flags and icons in diagrams and find it useful for Ancestral Sources to set this for all individuals mentioned in the Census returns. I guess there are other ways to add but I would miss the feature.
Can it be made optional?

So is V6 limited to mapping "Places" and not "Addresses"?

I'm trying to tidy up my Place records and was going to move all the street addresses to the "Addresses" field, but if they are no longer mapped, it doesn't seem like the best option.

I see that some are duplicates so I guess they can also be merged with similar named places that do have links associated. Not sure if that is any better than deleting them.

If media was linked - would that appear as a number in the link column or are those links simply individuals?

Thanks,
Simon

I have a related question - the Place Records that have 0 links next to them - can I delete these as they are no longer used?

I seem to have a few of these with similar place names to others that do have links. Perhaps these were typos that were stored for some reason?

Thanks,
Simon

I've just had a message regarding Associated Individuals - witnesses on a marriage certificate.
I think an error has crept in as it mentioned version 6 of Ancestral Sources but I think it means version 6 of Family Historian.

Thank you - understood

A previous forum topic has discussed this but it is locked so I cannot revive the thread. With standard "Ancestors By Generation" reports, the Sources sections includes images but this results in the numbered source title being on one page while the image is on the next page. I've tried the Format H...

Thanks Mike. I will give those tips a try and have added my vote for the feature. I think it would definitely help with creating diagrams that are strife with family politics.

I'm struggling to create the diagrams I need. One I'm trying to create for my son of his ancestors, I want to include both wives of his grandfather - obviously one natural and one step-family. I've tried to associate two sets of parents to my wife to try and get this included but that didn't work. W...

So, Windows 8 RT is the operating system on the Microsoft Surface tablet. As there is no sign of an iPad version of Family Historian, are there any plans for a version for this tablet? It seems a shame given how useful and universal tablets are getting, that there isn't a tablet version yet of FH fo...

It would be really handy to have an iPhone/iPad version for use on the move that could syncronise with the project on the main PC when you got home. Some other iPhone apps exist but not one that works well with FH without complex import/export. (as discussed in the General forum) http://www.fhug.org...

Is an Ipad version something that can be legitimately added to the 'Wish List' or it that just for new features?

I love using my Ipad and you can buy applications which allow you to transfer files across, but not all file types are supported. I'll have a try with the CD or website version but the website should work. I have noticed this application for those who use Reunion software http://www.leisterpro.com/i...

Thanks Simon hopefully it's a easy one to fix and resolve.

[grin]

No, the pdf looks the same as the report inside the FH software. It seems to be related to the number of source images, but I'm sure others have more than 100 census and certificate images in their tree.

Cheers,
Simon
