Thanks to all for your help. The link from cole valley girl describes the process I must have used to install v6 on my old tablet. Fortunately my records of reg keys are better than my memory so I will follow the process again. Many thanks

I originally purchased FH v3 on CD which I still have with key. I think, but not certain, that I purchased upgrades for each new version. I might have repurchased v6 and I have just forgotten. My tablet died last week. It did not have a cd reader but I had v6 FH installed on it. Now replaced with a ...

Got it. Thanks.

I am investigating whether the new research note can be used to replace the separate software I currently use for researching. I have created some research notes that are not attached to an individual by using menu (Add>Add Research Note). Once created I am trying to edit them by double clicking on ...

Thanks Mike. Adding http:// to the File records fixed it. It's a very impressive gedcom viewer. I read in their intro that they may have a commercial version in the future. If they allowed upload of images to their server and multiple images per individual I would certainly consider a paid subscript...

Hi Mike I used the option “Multimedia via Absolute Link Records” in your plug-in then did a global replace to convert the File records in gedcom from D:\path to file\image.jpg to URL domain/test2/images/image.jpg The images are in a folder on my domain at public_html/test2/images Upload to Zoompast ...

Thanks Mike. I tried before I posted but didn't work. I must have something wrong in the link. I will have another shot at it.

Hi, I discovered ZoomPast yesterday (Thanks Helen) and I am using your Export Gedcom Plug-In, Mike, to create a Gedcom file to upload into ZoomPast. Your help file explains ZoomPast cannot upload media from a PC as yet but can use URL’s to load images. One of your Media Conversion options is to use ...

Maybe Zoompast?

I had missed that, Helen. What a brilliant tree viewer. Best navigation I have ever seen. A great solution for anyone with a large tree.

Just to say I have now thoroughly tested it and it works a treat. Thanks again, Mike

Mike - It is an all or none situation. In general I want all source media excluded from reports but on certain occasions I want to include all source media in the report. I have just tested the Find/Replace option using the information you supplied, replacing all EXCLUDE ALL with EXCLUDE DGM and it ...

Thanks Mike. Too many source records to do it manually especially as I want to include the media on certain occasions and exclude them on other occasions. I will take a look at the find/replace option with your information on where the flag is located in the GEDCOM file.

ColeValleyGirl - I was assuming because each source record has the checkbox "Exclude from Reports" checked then every report would exclude source media. Are you saying I can set up a custom report that over-rides that setting? If so that would be a much simpler solution.

Hi, If I have media attached to a source record I usually set check boxes to exclude the media from reports and diagrams. On occasion I would like a report to include all the source media. So I am looking for a way of automating the process of checking/unchecking the Exclude from Reports check box. ...

I repeat that I think Calico Pie's response is encouraging. Many companies would have circumvented or blanked the issue. I think their response suggests that they are already reconsidering their implentation of this potentially useful funcionality and hopefully will rectify the main issue - living p...

I have received a reply from Calico Pie which I copy below: The main point to notice is that MyHeritage does not store any of the data or use it for anything other than matching. The information sent to MyHeritage (small bits of data) is not encrypted and does not exclude living people. No data is t...

I think if you examine my OP you will see there was no implication that was not possible to turn it off during install. I simply said this type of functionality should be on an opt-in rather than an opt-out basis.

Yes, I believe that point has been made earlier in the thread. As I said before I did not notice that option during the install. The existence of that option at install makes no difference to the issue. My point is that data transmission from a user machine should not require the end user to opt out...

Thanks Mike. I will give it 24 hours as it is the weekend and then do as you suggest.

Not assuming anything at all. I have simply asked for clarification on two issues. Are living persons details transmitted across the internet and if so is the data encypted. Given that I have obligations to protect my personal data and my living relatives which may be used as secondary verification ...

Surely if you disable it in Tools>Preferences you will achieve the same effect as it being off by default? When you first run the program I believe (according to their privacy notice) the program automatically transmits the data so by being on by default my data was transmitted before I could chang...

I think setting this facility on by default is unacceptable practice by the software supplier. It should be off by default with the user opting in via preferences. Some additional information on how this service works is essential. For example is matching carried out on individuals flagged as living...

John,

Thanks. I will have a look at GED-GEN before I decide.

Just to clarify - the £100/year is for hosting and support ie the hosting company installs webtrees, uploads your GEDCOM, and configures your set-up. Good option for those who want to avoid the hassle of doing it themselves.

Merenwen - I do not intend to implement the edit facilities on webtrees as I do not think any of my lot would use them. They do however want to view the data and I want an easy way to keep the data up to date. phpgedview is not being developed now but the main developers have moved onto webtrees. At...

Hi, Having now had the opportunity to study v5 'create a website' facility I have decided to go down the route of using external website generating software. I have looked at webtrees (Open Source successor to phpgedview) in some detail and am very impressed with the recent developments. It is being...
