Family Historian User Group

Doesn't the Plugin Store have a search capability? "Family" wouldn't have to come first in the name.

I agree that the = prefix for each spouse is very helpful.

It's handy that the current plugin name begins with "Q" thus allowing the use of the keyboard shortcut Alt T Q.

Incidentally, the current version 0.5 still has "0.4" in its Title.

Brilliant job, Mike! The use of bold, and of coordinated colours, works really well.

Have you seen this article: how_to:family_historian_licence_problems|– Family Historian Licence Problems and related pages?

Thanks, Mike, that all makes sense.

I think it may be best to disable & hide both Minimize & Maximize buttons.

Very impressive, Mike, and I'm sure it will be very useful. Does the window have to be modal ? There is a bit of a problem if the window is minimized: the main FH window also disappears, and apparently cannot be restored by using alt+tab , but only by clicking on its icon in the Windows taskbar . Th...

I prefer the extra details provided with this Snapshot version, but it cannot fit more than 12 children into the pop-up window on my 1600×900 screen; and I don't think there is any way to scroll the contents of the fhMessageBox window.

As it says in the Developer Guide mentioned above, in the FH Tools menu, if you select Plugins… and click on the More >> button then on the How to Write Plugins button you should be able to find find what you need.

From Wikipedia: The UTF-8 representation of the BOM is the byte sequence 0xEF,0xBB,0xBF. A text editor or web browser misinterpreting the text as ISO-8859-1 or CP1252 will display the characters  for this. The Unicode Standard permits the BOM in UTF-8, but does not require or recommend its use .

All three standard Narrative reports have a tick-box Option for Inc. Alternate Names in version 6.2.

Browser is Chrome and it usually asks whether to save the password. It didn't ask when I input the password as described above, presumably because it is already saved.

Sorry if this is totally irrelevant, but I did notice a slight problem just with logging in to the forums. When I first accessed FHUG after the changes (when I was away for over 6 weeks), I could log in easily, because as previously my username and password had been remembered. But when I logged out...

The tab for the spouse already shows the spouse's Given Name Used.

As it says in FH's Help:

The All Relatives tree shows Ancestors, Descendants, Descendants of Ancestors (e.g. cousins), and spouses of any of these.

It does not show Ancestors of Descendants' spouses.

There is an old (March 2012) Plugin Address Summary Report which provides counts of Address field values, with or without the associated Place field value.

Using Windows 7 and Chrome, I just see a blank white space where the video should be, and right-clicking brings up "Movie not loaded...". They can be found by searching within youtube.com, and they work OK there.

Have you tried searching for loop in FH Help?

Well done, Mike! Many thanks.

You could customize the Standard Query "Source Records - All" and Add a new Column with Heading: e.g. RecordId, Expression: =RecordId() and Sort: Ascending.

It would be even better if any such list of partial matches was presented in descending order of frequency of existing use.

There is a Standard Query "Ancestors" which you could customize by adding a column for Surname; you could also remove any columns you don't want. One or more columns in the Result Set can be copied and then pasted into a spreadsheet if required.

In Preferences (via the Tools menu) select Internet Data Matches. There you can use Settings… to Disable whichever Provider you don't want.

Will V6.2 be added as an option for Profile in the User Control Panel?

In Windows 7 the background colour for the Records window can be altered using the Window Color and Appearance dialog via Personalization in the Windows Control Panel . Such a change also affects various parts of the Property box as well as parts of other FH windows. Hope this helps. Of course any s...

In order to help "see the wood for the trees", I created an All Relatives diagram for the couple Max Arthur Lambert FINDON and Edna Helen (Jacky) SHELLY having un ticked the option Check for duplicates . I then manually hid all the boxes for individuals who were not a direct ancestor of Elsie Lowenn...
