It has been suggested ( 21942|Unblocking the Wish List process ) that this (combined with 20743|Field codes for Source Template Definitions ) be reduced to a request to "permit citation level fields in Bibliography". This wouldn't include the 'Extended Bibliography' which we've discussed here (to di...

That's a 'Short Footnote'. In the Report Options, on the Sources Tab, untick 'Use Short Footnotes for Citations to Already-Cited Sources' and you'll use the full footnote for every citation.

What about: When saving a new diagram as either a Custom Diagram Type or a Family Historian Chart FH should display the Diagram Types or Charts which already exist so that the user can choose to replace an existing one or create a new one without having to remember which names have already been used...

I'm not ignoring this discussion, but need to consider how best to use the material being generated.

Mike, I reported weird synchronisation behaviour at 21004|Unexpected conflicted copy in OneDrive , and have subsequently seen the ' modified by another application ' error message occasionally. I only currently have FH installed on a single PC, and I don't open multiple copies of it at the same time.

None of the other forum moderators get involved with the detailed management and oversight of the process. For some years, there was a volunteer who took care of the wish list ( 5596|Sprucing Up The Wishlist is relevant -- history does repeat itself). When they ceased to be able to do so, Mike T st...

Is anyone doing a review of the wish list itself? IMO, that's a lower priority. CP will know what they've implemented and not implemented, so won't be confused by items that should have been marked done, and it's more important that we get new items onto th elist for their consideration. I will say...

Not sure why you ask about converting to JPEG files because if they are 'scanned family documents' then they are already in JPEG or some similar image format.

Or PDFs.

However, it isn't a priority for me right now.

One way of discovering GEDCOM characteristics is to export a GEDCOM from The Genealogist and review its contents.

Bit chicken and egg... I haven't got a tree there because I haven't worked out hw to upload it. So I've nothing to export.

However, it isn't a priority for me right now.

I've looked at The Genealogist online Help and could not find anything about uploading GEDCOM files.

https://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/resear ... /treeview/ but it isn't particularly helpful.

BTW: Should this be in the Exporting forum or remain here?

Yes, exporting. I'll move it.

Just to avoid confusion, I posted my version of this in the plugin Store on the 19 January under the title ' Add GRO Index Entries '. As you appear to have written an alternative, it makes sense that my version is withdrawn from the store after your version is added. I assume you can make this happ...

Conincidentally, I encountered this challenge yesterday and was intending to ask the same question.

I will look into this option as well - I'm assuming they want it in electronic form only?

Details here.

It depends what steps you have taken to preserve it. Ancestry have free accounts that support family trees, so any tree on Ancestry will probably remain there as long as Ancestry exists. Same for FindMyPast. I have a tree on Ancestry, FMP and MyHeritage and hope people will find my work helpful even...

Done.

Comments on the Wish List itself don't get flagged to anyone, so are easily missed.

Please download and run DELETE OLD FH6 PLUGIN MODULE FILES to clean out the old FH6 modules and try again.

Go for it... maybe ask the OP to refine, and only seek volunteers when it's clear at the end what is left to handle?

Helen - so what’s your proposal? If we shouldn’t reject items because the original proposer can’t work up the support case, nobody else has chipped in to refine it, and it’s not the moderator’s role either, what do we do with them? Kicking them into the long grass isn’t a solution... Welcome to the...

Let’s take it case by case once we see how many items are in each bucket. The aim will be to focus moderator time where it can be best employed - helping work up a credible and well-supported proposal. But that isn't necessarily a moderator skillset or responsibility; the only part of this process ...

Thank you. I'm happy with that, with a few caveats. 1. We must recognise that not everybody will have the skill to work up a proposal, and not having that skill doesn't make a wish invalid. How will we deal with that situation? 2. We ought to be clear about what an 'finished' proposal consists of e....

Wish list entry 594 has been created for this.

How about setting a deadline, say two months from now, by when outstanding requests are either tidied up or closed? Because a lot of the outstanding requests will take longer than that to tidy up. There's a bunch that overlap -- or at least, ought to be considered together to formulate a number of ...

If the current moderators are unable to maintain the list along with all their other selfless commitments to FH, don't we either need a different process or more delegation...?

Difficult to delegate without volunteers to be delegated to

I notice this still isn't marked as completed in the wish list - is there some aspect of the request I've missed that is still outstanding?

Yes. The necessary moderator time.
