I suspect it's lost a space but otherwise there's no extraneous full stop.... Yes, the current problem is that it loses a space. This is more obvious with some fonts than others. As I said in an earlier post: When {note} is used the extra full stop shown at the beginning of the note in the sentence...

As it happens, baptism is one of the cases where the issue arises for me! If I know (from other sources) that someone was probably born around 1810 in Farnham, Surrey, I will search for possible baptisms and might find two or more around the right time with the right name. I will then have a baptism...

Adrian wrote: Normally I let the {note} be added to the narrative sentence by whatever the option is - I don't code the {note} into the sentence because there are times that I want a narrative without notes - ancestor reports by generation, e.g. That’s fine if you sometimes want the narrative senten...

I will report both bugs. I agree the suppression of the narrative sentence should not automatically suppress the note in narrative reports. At present the {inline-note} option is better, but only if you remove the existing full stop from the end of the note, to avoid getting two full stops after the...

Has that been reported as a bug? I can't remember. But I will report it now, because I’ve just checked again and it’s no longer possible to get round it by supressing the sentence and letting the note take care of itself. If the sentence is supressed the note is also now supressed! (I’m sure that w...

In Tools> Work with Data > Places if you click columns you can specify how many columns you want your data to be displayed in. If a place name has more comma separated parts than the number of columns you have set, the excess parts will be 'lumped' in the final column. When you sart to enter a place...

Helen, I too always have always treated {note} as a sentence or set of sentences. (I'm entirely with you on this.) But if you have edited a fact sentence to be simply {note}, and nothing else, you now get a full stop at the beginning of the note! So even a whole sentence note has to be treated a {in...

Yes, as we have both said, all users have been affected by this change. When Carl said " it looks like I transferred to FH a little too early as the TMG import routine has now been further refined " I think he meant that he did his import from TMG before the import started using {inline-note} (in v7...

By " the screwed up syntax " are you referring to the {note} versus {inline-note} codes? If so, then that is nothing to do directly with TMG importing. It is a problem all users have suffered due to CP changing the way the {note} code is interpreted compared to previous FH versions. Many of us have...

The change Helen is referring to came in with FH v 7.0.17. This is from the release notes: There is a new template code, {inline-note} which can be used in sentence templates, if you want to insert a note into a sentence, without treating the note as the start of a new sentence. The code {note} stil...

Gowermick: That approach wouldn't suit everyone, as 'Residence' normally implies something more permanent than a stop-over point. And you could end up with a great many Residence facts when a single Travel fact could be used to summarise the journey and the mode(s) of transport. What about people wh...

I suspect a query based on flags doesn't work as the common ancestors are 'hard coded' into the DNA fact and so can be queried and returned in a result set. In this case the flags (if that is what the OP means by having ‘tagged’ people) are just being used to indicate people with a DNA match, so th...

Have you tried Tools> External File Links > Auto Repair Links ?
Click the Help button in the Work with External File Links window for details on what it does.

In case you are not aware, there is also an existing basic custom query which finds the MRCA for a selected pair of individuals. However it works with only two starting individuals, and in the results the MRCA (or two, if they are a couple) is/are displayed on separate row(s). So it’s not as versati...

I understand that the current plugin, "Lumped Source Splitter v1.2", was not meant to handle direct imports. I'm sure there will be an update at some point.... Gary, I notice that you have not yet responded to Mark (the plugin author) in this topic 21719|Using Lumped Source Splitter v1.2 on RM9 Imp...

This looks like the problem I reported to CP recently. They acknowledged that it is a bug and said it will be fixed in the next update. Meanwhile, they said The workaround for now is to tick the option "Wrap text round picture (side layout only)" on the Pictures tab of Diagram Options. The bug seems...

I'd report it straight to CP, as it's about somehing which is misleading rather than a request for a new feature.

Re-naming the item in the Tools menu and re-naming the dialogue box should be straightforward, although of course all references to it in the Help files would need updating too.

Yes, there are some inconsistencies and it can take a while to get your head round it all. There was a discussion about these issues in this topic late last year 21244|Saving Diagram Options as a result of which Mike raised a ticket with CP, listing some of the inconsistencies. So are custom diagram...

Hmm. Confused?

I notice that on the FH mailing list someone has just asked ChatGPT for a ruling on a question about Gedcom. Maybe you could try that! .

If you Right Click on the Column Headings bar you obtain the option to configure the Columns as you wish. I think the File Name and Folder columns need to be configured after the update to the version. See my earlier post which explained this. If you have never manually changed the display you can ...

You don't seem to be using the latest version of FH which is 7.0.19 because if you were the Media columns would include a separate Folder column and Filename column. Philip might be running the latest version. That change came in with v7.0.17.1 but the release notes make it clear that it is only th...

The OP said “Is there a chart that will allow me to show the family structure in the attached screenshot? I have tried the All Relatives Chart…” but didn’t say it had to be an All Relatives chart. The subsequent screenshots showed only the parents and children, as in a Descendants chart, so I assume...

Mike, FYI I have now found the topic where we touched on this issue previously.
The topic starts about something else, but the issue of hiding spouses without hiding their children comes in towards the end of the discussion.
Saving Customised Blank Diagrams (21216)

..... Is there a way to make a connecting link between the parent box and the child box which will remain attached to both even as other changes are made to the chart? No, unfortunately not. Both the trees (the main one and the single box tree) are dynamic so both have to be able to shift if addito...

Yes, your diagram shows that the child of interest has been linked twice, and that you have created a total of three partners for the wife. And there is even an expansion button below the line linking to the third partner, so the third partner also has a child or children. You said originally "I am ...
