also make sure you select them on the report options sources tab

So, if I do add a definition for them and assign a custom group, only then they will get written away to either the ProgramData CP FH Fact Types folders, and will be available to all projects, or into the specific Project Fact Types if made exclusive to that project. I did log a ticket some time ago...

Thanks, Mike. Running the UDF List plugin has told me lots of stories, and I can now see where a lot of the Fact Types and UDFs come from! Most of the UDFs (over 226000 of them) are showing dates and times going back to 2001 to 2003 time frames all with variants of CHAN. During that time I was using...

Mike, Clicking the Help & Advice button in the Plugin, and then the Export Gedcom File Basic Options Tab followed by The GEDCOM Export Mode advice describes the features offered for each target product and how to use the GEDCOM and Media files. takes me to: https://pluginstore.family-historian.co.uk...

Any Facts that say <none> and <undefined> are custom Facts in your Project that have been imported but have no Fact Set definition. So you need to Edit... them to add a definition. Imports and Merges do NOT create Fact Types. Only you can create Fact Types by hand or download from the FHUG KB. But ...

I cannot remember if there is a built in method, query or plugin that I can run to give me a list of All the Fact Types that are and are NOT being used in the current gedcom, ie a usage count of zero? Object of the exercise is to delete them, as I have found lots of very similar named Fact types in ...

I have not gone to v13 of TNG yet on any of my websites yet- been too busy - so haven't picked up that change, not that it will affect me. With two other upgrades of software to contend with at the same time, throwing a third into the mix could make it difficult to determine which was the cause

RonK, Just had a look at the gedimport_people script called by the import functions and it has : function getIndividualRecord( $personID, $prevlevel ) { global $link, $people_table, $children_table, $events_table, $families_table, $tree, $admtext, $citations_table, $assoc_table, $pciteevents; global...

Mike and RonK
Before you go changing anything, I have been importing gedcoms from FH for over 15 years with 'replace all' You can set TNG to I or anything else. see

Helen,

Just tried you XPF workaround - still get 379 blank pages! the .oxpf file size was 125k

@Helen, It is a bit of a pity that v7 was launched when it was without warning, as I for one, was still building up a list of items to check and query. I have since logged calls covering some of these, and others have been logged according to the threads in this FHUG. Quite a few are semi-critical t...

For me, the RTF file route and then to PDF does not work. As soon as we go to .rtf, it will be assumed that the output will be on paper, and I cannot get a link to click on paper :D I tested with a small report which I had entered website hyperlinks into the notes. If I save it as an html page, the ...

Ahhh! That explains why I cannot get any of the hyperlinks carefully constructed within the new editor to work from a generated pdf file. Never dreamt that the whole page was made into one image by the fh&nova7 combination!
Well spotted. I think I may have to consider going back to v6!

Version 7. Is this an undocumented feature or have I done something wrong? After importing my v627 project into v7 I have noticed an anomaly! This may have been there in v6, but I cannot check that now. On import I had a single female person as part of the tree where I had a whole record source indi...

Have you had a look at ORA, Online Repository Assistant (https://www.ora-extension.com/en/contents.htm) ? I have been using if for over 6 months now on v6 and now v7 and has saved me hours of transcribing records off genealogy websites. Not free but at $24 pa well worth it in my opinion. Effectively...

Exporting a gedcom to TNG strategy - ideas? I ran three projects under v6.2.7, each of differing size and content, and exported a gedcom from each project to import into my three different websites running under TNG. My process was to 1. do any pre-export tasks in each project 2. Save and exit with ...

Thanks, Mike. That is what I suspected. Makes it more difficult to automate processes!

Using the built in File->Import/Export->Export->Gedcom, ( Alt+FIEG) it opens with a set of pre-defined options and tick boxes. Is there anyway that I can save 'my' selections as the default, instead of having to change them each time I run it?

Same applies to the Split Tree Helper dialog?

Along time ago, I made a decision to go with the 'lumper' strategy based on the good old model of a gedcom can have many Repositories; each Repository can have many Sources; and each Source can have many Citations. So for example I have the The National Archives as the repostitory for the 1841, 51, ...

@russellf97. If you are doing a copy and paste from the Search on the GRO website, that result reference you get back is actually formatted text in a table, not unformatted text. On the GRO, the GRO Reference is shown in italics, which is formatted.

I am still using flags, and flags in diagram/charts to show and icon in v7. Where does it say we cannot use flags?

Mezentia, I have had a similar situation when upgrading from v6 to v7, and have had to customise my generic source and citation panes to match almost what I had in v6. I have been using a browser extension ORA (Online Repository Assistant), not free but at $2 per month is worth it, which reads all t...

This has been discussed many times before, and I was only trying to explain that FH did not have a shortcut for today's date because the GEDCOM definition for Citation Entry Date is not intended for today's date, so being 100% GEDCOM compatible Calico Pie saw no need for it. I don't think that is s...

What are the map settings under Tools->Preferences->Map Window. Mine is set to OpenStreetMap and is ok.
