Karl, please report your setup to Calico Pie to see if they can offer a solution: http://www.calico-pie.com/osticket/open.php

Otherwise, continue using FH Version 6.2.7 as long as you like.

Thank you!

I also have this problem. For security reasons I do not trust the internet and keep my tree and other research on a laptop that has no access to the outside world. I download to my desktop and after checking, transfer any files to the laptop on memory stick etc. I am working on two computers. One f...

What a pity. Installation is only possible online. A former user of FH6 is booted out. Bye-Bye.

For those people who wish to use FH without Internet, it would be great to have a small (low resolution) world map in the maps-window.
The grid may be poor. For manually added coordinates a marker should be shown on the map. Marker dragging should work.

Please add a possibility to save main workspace window view.
I am using FH always with the same view and it is annoying to adjust the view every time when starting .

See also my post: Workspace (12516)

Refering to my post in the "General usage"-forum list Sources for: <whole record> (12515)

I want to suggest an extended view of the Sources display in the Property-box, see attachment.

Karl

that sounds very good.
Thanks for your reply

Karl

Yes I know this plugin.
Anyway, here a suggestion for improvement of the source-window: see attachment.
Would'nt it be nice to see the overview without plugin?

Karl

Record-Links:
Menu: View/Record Links...
(or Shortcut: Alt+V L)

Karl

So far I understand.
Other genealogical programs show a list of all assigned sources as an overview. (example Legacy).
This is very convenient to see if there are sources in one glance.
In FH6 I must look at the dropdown-list to see whether there are sources.

How can I save my preferred workspace-view in FH6? Every time when starting I must manually adjust my view. This is tedious. At the left side I have the Records-window. In the middle the Focus-window and the Map-window. At the right side the Property-box. One wish for a future version of FH: Why not...

I have a question concerning the source box (FH6). In the dropdown list you can select <whole record>. What does this mean? I hoped to see all existing sources for an individual. But the source list says: "No Sources" although my individual has 2 sources for alternative names. Do I understand someth...

Hi Mike, in the Map-WIndow you can select OpenStreetMap or OSM Roads for viewing maps. And it is possible offline! After trying a little I found the way. You need a second PC with internet and installed FH6. There open the FH6 Map-Window, view and scroll online within OpenStreetMaps. Close FH6 and m...

Hi,

FH6 is running on Windows 8.1 without internet (because of security reasons). Is it possible to use OpenStreetMap offline? I can download map-data via an other PC. Or is there a simple world map for those people without internet?

Thanks,
Karl
