Re: "Shires" and "Counties"

A lot of what is called "London", is actually in the city of Westminster. London is often referred to as "The Square Mile" , a reference to it's original size.

I have been using the plugin on a regular basis since it's release, and have had my Project on dropbox for over a year, with never a problem.
i will keep an eye on what happens.

Re: Duplicate Media Plugin Error

That's what I had done Mike, as that is what I had done when the error occurred.
I have done some very extensive renaming of media files, and cleared the cache on purpose.
I did a 3rd run, clearing the cache again, overnight. Again completed successfully..

Re: Complicated diagram - legality viewpoint

Just to lighten the conversation.

What is the difference between illegal and unlawful?

Illegal is a sick bird. LOL

Unlawful is the correct term., meaning against the law.
Murder is legally described as "The unlawful killing of....."

Re: FT Analyzer

I have also been in contact with codeplex about 1939 register support.
I have sent them a small gedcom to help sort out the errors.
All my 1939 entries were done using AS so have exact date.
i am still waiting to hear back from Levva.

Just use

It will reorder all dated facts.

Re: Repeat census entries

I did ask Nick, very early on, would it be possible, instead of having the tick box on the plugin, to have two save options in AS.
One would be save & exit, the other would be save & continue.
I am forever forgetting to set the correct option when I run the plugin.

Re: Source types

If you use AS to enter your data, it should automatically create the census source with the type "Census"

Re: TMG to FH import of Flags

Mike,
Thanks for the clarification.
I was on V4 when I last seriously looked at flag names, so the character limit may have been lower then.
I have greatly reduced my use of flags, and now tend to use them mainly to show "Not in 1911" etc to show that I have looked very hard, but not found.
John
