Just noticed that the installation had reinstated the default Standard Facts and removed my Custom Facts and edited Standard Facts (the Sentence templates have been edited). I've just had to re-import them again from a previously exported copy. I'm glad I upgraded the copy of FH on my secondary lapt...

I understand why it has been made much easier to link Media to a Citation (for the benefit of FTM users who are used to linking Media to Citations). I doubt many FTM users actually manually added media to Source citations, its more to do with how the TreeSync facility in FTM works with the Ancestry...

6.1.2 resets the custom project location to the default one rather than a custom one whereas 6.1 and 6.1.1 preserved the custom location.

My custom project location didn't change to the default one.

However, Timeline Facts was reinstated to default, I had previously cleared them all.

Thanks Mike and Stewart. I tried that this morning with the plugin as I thought that would be how it worked, but it didn't seem to want to delete. That said, after two hours sleep my brain may not have been functioning correctly when I read the alert. So I just clicked cancel and reverted to manuall...

I've 1765 x UDFs of either FAM.CHIL._FREL or FAM.CHIL._MREL which appear to have imported from some older software and I'd like to remove them as not needed. I've deleted some but its a bit tedious. Is there any way of deleting them without having to manually delete the entry from the All Tab under ...

The problem could be caused by a corrupt windows login profile, its the sort of thing that could be affected if there are issues. The colour style on the Control Panel window is a bit strange, it looks more like a very old version of windows rather than Win7.

Yes, the New Source Record dialog is a continuing disappointment. Although it looks very similar to the Source record Property Box - Main tab, the fields lack most of the features. None of them have the [...] edit box, and Type does not auto-complete. I cannot understand why it does not use the sam...

Strange, I disabled My Heritage on the original installation and it hasn't been re-enabled when I upgrade to v6.1 as I've checked it.

Has the field order in "New Source Record" window changed please? I can't remember what the order was previously but there has been a change. Under 'Numerous other enhancements and bug fixes' one of the items listed is The “New Source” dialog now has a dropdown list of Source Types . Yes I'd notice...

Has the field order in "New Source Record" window changed please?

I'm sure Type used to be the third field but now its showing as the second.

Of course, I could be completely wrong about this ...

Thanks Mike, that fixed it. :D Have to admit I'd flicked through your post but as most of it didn't apply to me, I'd obviously missed the first point. I don't remember ever unticking that in preferences previously. I've only recently started using Source Records anyway, previously didn't bother. The...

FH 6.01 Source Records view.JPG Is it a deliberate change that any newly created Census Source Records are now showing with the Short Title, when previously they appeared under their Full Title please? Those created prior to the upgrade are still showing with the Full Title. I have also created a s...

The page describing the fixes etc. says that the following standard fact definitions have been updated: Birth, Adoption and Census Teach me not to click on the item, I'd assumed they were just a list. :roll: That said, as I'd already customised the standard Birth and Census Facts, my amendments hav...

I've just upgraded on Win7 Pro with AVG software and all seems to be working OK. That said, does anyone know which three standard fact definitions have been updated please? Mike Tate says: The new features are all fully documented in Upgrade to 6.1 under ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES IN VERSION 6.1. Ju...

if you had to alter the details of a "citation" for some reason - how easily can you find the text, and how many copies of that text do you have to alter (one per "fact")? With Mike's " Where Used Record Links " Plugin, its now very easy to find out where a particular citation is used for multiple ...

Very useful plugin, thanks Mike. Makes life a lot easier than having to run View > Record Links multiple times .

Agreed, but so does evey Fact , with or without any details, providing there is a Sentence Template defined for the Fact . I don't see how that impacts the Focus Window . Note that the Birth Event can have other fields, such as Address , or Age , or Note , but still won't appear in Focus Window , a...

In answer to jclifford 's points: Having said all that, I have reviewed how the Focus Window boxes handle Birth , Baptism & Christening events. If the Birth event exists but has no Date and no Place then it is never shown, I agree it doesn't show on the Focus Window, but it does show in Narrative R...

I think you've hit the nail on the head with your comment about blank death events, that would cause the different view in the middle view of the focus middle. Perhaps to clarify what Mike has said in images, this is what happens. If you see below, in a similar scenario to what I suspect you have, I...

Thanks Mike, knew there would probably be an easy way. All sorted.

Is it possible to create a query that will show which individual records include a specific Custom Fact please? I've amended the sentence format for some Custom Facts to use the =GetLabelledText() function and need to revisit and amend where the Custom Facts have been added to specific individual re...

Thanks Mike, thought that might be the case. I'll have a look at creating a custom fact.

Just a thought, but is there any way of changing the auto-generate sentence please so that rather than saying "has few details recorded", it could say something like "little is known about them" (or something similar) as that would better reflect the actual situation? The auto-sentence as it stands ...

Yes the second husband issue is now resolved OK, just the anomalies with the auto-generate sentences which are a bit annoying. Mind you, I know I posted another reply just after my previous one and its disappeared. :? Definitely clicked the post button because I then returned to the thread to check ...

Thanks Mike, yes I'd unticked the Auto-Generate option on the Ancestors Report. However, this was because it had previously added "has few details recorded" to individuals I'd not got birth/baptism or death/burial, even if a marriage fact was included. The latter is probably a minority and I could p...
