Family Historian User Group

If you spend too long typing a reply then FHUG times out and you lose the message. I suggest you type your long message into a plain text editor such as Windows Notepad. Then use Copy & Paste to enter it into the topic Reply box. Sorry, I naturally assumed you were talking about an FH Project rather...

Sorry, but you have not tried all my suggestions. The later ones preserve the Display Text. Especially the last paragraph.

No, there is nothing in your screenshots that needs changing. To check that it is just the one Project that has the problem, try running the plugin on any other Project. You don't need to perform an Export. Just Run and Close the plugin. One file that could be affecting the plugin is its saved setti...

In response to user requests, my plugins now only check if there is a later version at most once a month. That process can take a while (or fail) depending on the Plugin Store servers. So that might explain the unexpected long time 'running' for the old plugin. You didn't say how long you waited or ...

I don't understand. If I highlight/select a web link in a rich text Note box and press the Delete key then it gets deleted. That is very similar to selectively deleting anything else in a rich text Note box. Alternatively, you can hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys while opening the Note to get a plain...

Wow! I presume you realise that is quite a muddle that needs extensive tidying. I do NOT propose going through each file and folder individually. Instead, I will provide some guidelines for you to follow. In all that follows, I'll refer to the Desktop C:\Users\Edward\ but the advice equally applies ...

Anne, first please update your FHUG Profile shown on the right of your posting to say Family Historian: V7. Click on your username Crosspatch82, navigate to Edit Profile, set Family Historian to V7 and scroll down to SUBMIT. I presume that on your new computer, the FH V7 File > Project Window lists ...

Thanks Mike! Since I have your ear :D would it be possible to add an option to enable/disable the "doAssess" function in your Export GEDFILE plugin (for TNG)? I'm still using it to convert FH to TNG, but since I plan to start using the advanced settings for citation assessments, I'd like to carry t...

Helen is correct. It is an annoying omission from the Header data references.

Sorry about that Joan. Can you be a bit more specific about how the plugin froze. It provides progress bar details of what record it is processing which gives a clue to where the problem may lie. A screenshot would probably help me. When did the plugin last run successfully? Have there been signific...

Kathy, I suggest you ask Calico Pie for the list of values which must exist in their program documentation for FH.

I have moved this thread to the Reports, Books & Websites forum as it is nothing to do with Diagrams & Charts.

Edward, as usual, a screenshot would be clearer than your descriptions which I'm not sure I understand.
Since we are cleaning up possible junk files I need to be sure what I'm suggesting you delete.

BTW: Please ignore Victor's comments that are not relevant to our discussion.

Bill, as you have explained regarding your setup, there are many configuration options in OneDrive. Typically, the OneDrive folder will be located within your default My Documents folder. Is it possible that you have moved your My Documents folder from C:\Users\Bill\Documents to D:\My Documents Then...

Edward, by some combination of settings you have successfully synced your PC. Use the same method as before in File Explorer to delete the rogue Rowland Family-Rowland file on one PC. It should automatically be removed from the other PC via OneDrive sync. To ensure your Projects are available, even ...

It is not possible to change the value of any field shown in any Query, apart from deleting values. That is the definition of a Query. It is simply to query the database but not alter it. Each Records Window tab is effectively the same as the All tab of the Property Box. Since the Place Status is no...

Bill, I cannot be certain without asking the other poster Edward, but I suspect he has created that folder himself.
As Peter explains, it is not a default folder name.
There are many abnormal settings in Edward's postings which complicate providing advice.

I've just spotted another change that is important to correct. Compare the Choose folders screenshots for Desktop on Wed 28th Jun 2023 18:09 and Sun 2nd Jul 2023 20:42. The Location on your PC at the bottom has changed! C:\Users\Edward\OneDrive on Wed 28th Jun 2023 18:09 is correct. C:\Users\Edward\...

That does not answer many of my questions. Compare your Laptop latest Project Window screenshot with Tue 27th Jun 2023 14:34. Where have the Bowen Family and the Sharon Gibbons Tree projects gone from the Laptop? Did you delete them? If so then tell me. Why has the Rowland Family project Last Update...

Edward, I get the feeling you are only telling us part of the story. Where have the Bowen Family and the Sharon Gibbons Tree projects gone from the Laptop? Why has the Rowland Family project Last Updated date gone back to 18/05/2023? Those -DESKTOP-088HJVQ files are caused by sync problems between L...

I've tried several ideas without success. Certainly never seen that no entry symbol there before. Without more clues about when it does and does not appear it is difficult to investigate. It looks like the Fact Rejected Flag symbol but cannot imagine why it would appear in the Add Fact list. I can o...

There are many examples in all the standard fact Sentence Templates.

See also FHUG KB Narrative Report Fact Sentence Templates.

You will have to help us understand the RM template concepts and the Roles involved. There seem to be at least two alternative sentence choices separated by a vertical bar | symbol. One is for the household of the father and one for the household of the mother. It is not obvious to me how that choic...

What you describe is very different from the FH V7 default fact Summary Template description. So I wonder if that fact is in the RootsMagic Import fact set. Also, it is possible that you are seeing a Fact Witness description. Its Summary Template is found via the Fact Definition dialogue Roles... bu...

IMO Mark should update the plugin to cope with those symbols rather than users having to edit their Projects. Well done, Mike - I think that is the most pointless post I've seen for a long time. When users find bugs, authors update their scripts to correct them - why did you think I wouldn't bother...
