Yep, I played with the =ExistsText already, and sine it looks I've found one really deep into this scripting, a question. For ease of reading I used Birth: ^- =TextIf(%INDI.BIRT.DATE:DAY% < 10,'0',)%INDI.BIRT.DATE:DAY%. ^- =TextIf(%INDI.BIRT.DATE:MONTH_NUMBER% <  10,'0',)%INDI.BIRT.DATE:MONTH_NUMBER...

The =TextIf solved the issue ... mostly. I wanted a '0' instead of the ' ' but that gave me dates like this 0.0.1645 in case no day nor month being available. But your hint was a good one I could play with and see if functions offer to compensate the missing date formats I miss since FH 3.x thanks a...

Again playing with some diagram display options since FH is best in working from within diagrams. I want to archive the following: Create line going like this: 'Birth:' left aligned birthdate rightaligned with a given indent grouped w. prev. birthplac leftaligned with a given indent grouped w. prev....

You're sure that 'Program Files' is a good idea to have that hard-coded ? On a Win7 x64 'Program Files' is for the true x64 Programs, whereras FH sit's in 'Program Files (x86)' which is a common installation folder for aged software built in the past centuries ;-) And my FH did auto-install in 'Prog...

Hi Jane, well besides assuming you're the one with the upcoming hint, that's what I did prior to the current setup. Unfortunately I wanted to have the type of relation prior to the information to which person the relation get's linked, means I do need INDI.ASSO.RELA before INDI.ASSO That's why I tri...

I run out of ideas ... perhaps someone could give a hint. In the diagram options I got: Line1 as %INDI.ASSO[1+].RELA% of no data text enabled and text is 'relation type missing' start on new line enabled Line2 %INDI.ASSO[1+]>% start on new line enabled group with previous line enabled Line3 [=Record...

well not in my case. Just tried to install the v4 on a brand new Win7 x64 and it simply refuses everything. I do wonder since I did install it on XP x86 without problems when it hit the market. And since not having purchased an update but the full v4 version, I really wonder why my new windows doesn...

Or this was a nice one reinstall ... normally an installer realising something's already there allow to either repair or uninstall. ;-) But while on that topic, why the hell did it try to also install the PDF addon ? I did already wonder if there's any benefit against any other PDF printer driver. A...

Didn't want to start a new topic, but I also run into a problem installing / registering v4. What I got. Well, FH since .. don't ask me, but I think it's 3 CDs in total by now. And each time I had to set up my system from scratch I had to go through the hole lot, sort of a Cd shifters job, since the...

and another one Jane didn't point out, but perhaps that's demo-limited only (hopefully). If one finetuned various tabs (half an hour or such like), then presses v3 compatability ... the button seems to do what it's named. It not only restores the details tabs as known (good idea) but also reverted a...

Thanks for pointing me to that one. Reminds me to not post lots of issues yet before having read the new features in the help sections completely. That's on the ToDo list for summer holidays. family + beach + watching kids build sandcastles + .... latop + v4 CD (hopefully arrives till then). And hop...

The issue is that I digged that far into the past that only churchrecords are available and against documents from other sources where birth and death is mentioned, these mainly do contain christening and burial information with dates, thus the visible fields on the indi-windows remain emtpy whereas...

Hi Simon, the issue seems to be more complicated, since I did run into issues to be done with the new implementation. In the past there was no DOC type, and there isn't one now in v4, but word documents seem to be imported being of type DOC now against having been type OLE. In the past I linked medi...

When in a diagram raising the Individual window by double-clicking onto a box, then going to sources, selecting a source, pressing go to source, then selecting the multimedia tab, containing 4 media entries, 2 of them being jpgs, 2 of them being of type OLE (word document), I run into the following ...

TCGR (thanks to Jane pointing me onto that, it's quite good in combination with FH, mainly because it adresses the problem that FH isn't localized whereas the localized programs aren't of the same quality but FH), thus the combination of FH & TCGR is ideal for me. Home coded util to dig FamilySeach....

Got a bunch of documents dated 1709-1790 of pretty poor quality, all written in Suetterlin writing. p and z are for example characters which aren't easy to read especially if in combination with n and e. A good example I run into this problem is the words 'Schenzz' or 'Schnepp'. Using soundex codes ...

just a follow up ... I run into the very same update problem when for example adding a source citization, this time I used a split window, so that I could see the diagram besides the records windows, last one being at TAB sources. If I add an existing birth source to an individual from within the di...

Got an update problem when entering data in diagram mode. What I do: I double click an individual, select the ALL tab, select the root entry, contect mouseclick, and ADD NOTE and then ADD LINK TO NEW NOTE RECORD. The cursor sits at the Text awaiting my input, and if I did that I expected that if I c...

Working with associations might be easier if there would be an option which auto-creates a reverting association. starting point 0 @I1@ INDI 0 @I2@ INDI if turning I1 into 0 @I1@ INDI 1 ASSO @I2@ 2 RELA witness then I2 should turned into 0 @I2@ INDI 1 ASSO @I1@ with no RELA data since that could dif...

Ability to have loops within loops in textshemes. At the moment the above could only be solved doing %INDI.ASSO[1+].SOUR[1]>% %INDI.ASSO[1+].SOUR[2]>% %INDI.ASSO[1+].SOUR[3]>% .... %INDI.ASSO[1+].SOUR[999]>% and I'm aware it's tricky to get implemented since one must also be possible to define which...

Hi Jane, just wanted to come back to you with a small note about your idea to have a look at 'TCGR'. Bought it straight, after having played with it for an hour. Not only because it nearly did what I was looking for but also because the author did respond within some minutes since I asked if he coul...

Thanks Jane, this information helps a lot. I'll have another try, while I got stuck with another I don't get. For reseach purpuses I added the following lines to my boxes which works fine. Source: %INDI.SOUR[1+]>ABBR% %INDI.SOUR[1+].PAGE% with 'start on new line' set. This gives me a list of sources...

I know I could tick that but the problem I run into is that some other persons now do get 2 lines indicating the very same marriage. What I didn't get yet, is the following. If one did marry 2 times. Will I need to use %INDI.FAMS[1].MARR[1] for the first and %INDI.FAMS[2].MARR[2] for the second ? or...

I want to have multiple marriages being listed in the diagram boxes, but the line should only appear if there's a second marriage. Marr.:%FAM.MARR.DATE:ABBREV3% %FAM.MARR.PLAC:SHORT% mit =AgeAt(%INDI%,%INDI.FAMS>MARR.DATE%) Yrs. now I already worked out that I should better use &INDI.FAMS.MARR again...

I'll have a look at that one then. Thanks for letting me know.
