Are you hoping for an automatic way to make those various counts?

Yes, I am Lorna.

Yes, use Diagram or right-click Insert into Diagram > Text Box . Use the cross-hair cursor to draw the box outline. It can be repositioned and resized as usual. Right-click in the box and choose Format . You can then enter any text you like, in any font, and adjust the box characteristics. Remember...

I'd like to be able to add counts to my diagrams, primarily people and family counts. This includes the number of individuals at a generational and a diagram level. Different counts may include direct descendants (or ancestors depending on chart type), spouses/partners as well as overall totals. Ide...

The Tools > Language Pack features offer translation of words and phrases in several contexts: Attribute Values of Attribute facts Place names held in Place records Miscellaneous ~ words in Reports, etc Citation Text Maybe you have not found the Help and Samples regarding Language Pack Plugins. i.e...

I found it helpful to review the other Language Packs and their associated Plugins to see how they used the features. I've briefly looked at the French language pack, I may need to have a closer look. The Fact Definition Language Variant... features only apply to Narrative Reports and not other Rep...

Thanks Jane for the quick response... The main issues are: There must always be a definite article before every Greek proper name There must be a gender-independent preposition before place names For best results you might need to use a combination of the two. If you don't use a Translation plugin a...

Reposting FB post as advised... I'm in the process of creating a Greek translation pack for FH. I've looked at the associated help files and think that I have a good grasp on how it works. Having worked on translating a single Publish report, I am a little confused as the report translation appears ...

Hi Mike,

Please find attached details relating a FB post asking questions of the community and reply from developer (Darrin Lythgoe) as well a screenshot of the TNG media edit screen and a copy of the exported GEDCOM file..


Hope this helps!

TNG has supported media frames for the last 2 major releases, that I am aware of. It has been enhanced again with the recent V13 release. Like you however, I do not think that the GEDCOM standard has any mechanism for their inclusion in the file. I had Multimedia Conversion mode set to FILE~REL , I ...

Apologies for the confusion, I copied part of a FB question I posted and omitted some key points... I've successfully exported/imported GEDCOMs for TNG. I've started using frame links in FH i.e. linking regions on media to individuals and would like to know if that data (box co-ordinates) are export...

I'm using the Export Gedcom File plugin to TNG (which supports frame links) and during a recent import they were not added to media. Are they exported from FH?

Thanks, I was going to post the same issue!

Thank you both.... That is an excellent start!

I've started looking at the functions outlined in the application helpfile and how they can be used, but I am having problems locating the list of fields used with them e.g. %indi% , %ind.deat.date% etc. I'm aware they are available on the query window but is there a comprehensive list in a document...

Hi, When I run the Import FromAncestry or FTM plugin I get the following error: fhSetValueAsDate(ptrItem,datItem) failed INDI.MAR.DATE in record ID 152 The only reference in the log is the following: Record Type=Individual. Gedcom Id=P152. Record Number=152. l.2428 - INFO ONLY: Loaded uncategorised ...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll review the suggested reading and formulate a process for exporting and importing/merging.

Much appreciated...

I manage a community tree for a small Greek island. I've recently been given a quite detailed GEDCOM export from someone and I'd like to join the 2 trees. I've been bitten in the past by naively importing the entire GEDCOM , my eye twitches just at the thought. I started analysing differences and en...
