Yes of course I would be happy to try all of those different parameters, I will start by reducing the output size in steps of 100 and let you know. I will note the results and timings. I will try to complete the various tests by tomorrow evening if I can. Would you like me to list them here, or send...

I have tried V4.4.4 as requested. I now get 2 errors instead of 3. I don't see a before-and-after usage counts in the result set (I am missing where it is?), but I do get this: "-9" "0" "Media Object" "Media Conversion ( TNG )" "0 @S292@ SOUR" "116461" "Collect Garbage Memory" "Usage=16912.323242188...

Hello Mike. After a number of tests, the plugin seems to fail on three files. I replaced those files with similar size and dimension files, and they worked but it then fell over on three other files. Interestingly they are at similar line numbers as logged in your results window. Running the plugin ...

Afternoon Mike. Yes, I'm running a standard Windows 10 machine. To get the file directory listing I just did a DIR > file.txt command in Command Prompt so I could copy and paste the results into the reply window here. It outputs in the old DOS-style format, but the results are effectively the same. ...

In answer to your question about the LUA files, this is the content of that directory: Directory of C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Historian\Plugins 02/04/2021 23:28 <DIR> . 02/04/2021 23:28 <DIR> .. 24/03/2021 00:51 9,854 Add Media URL Shortcut.fh_lua 10/03/2021 14:30 160,345 Ancestral Sources Da...

Hi Mike, unfortunately this hasn't changed anything for me; I still get the same errors and probably about the same amount - about 100 errors for about 1,500 media items. Re-running the plugin creates the skipped files successfully. The same error messages are generated as previously, i.e., insuffic...

Adrian, please update your Profile on the right of your postings to identify Family Historian V7 as what you use. Apologies - I have now done this. I have run the Export a number of times with a number of Media output configurations. My ideal output size is 1200 x 1200 maximum so I went with that. ...

Hi Mike, Many thanks for the response. In regards to the other discussion, I have experimented a little and now when the Export finishes, I just use the dialogue to open the GEDCOM file in Notepad and then do a Search-and-Replace-All to change _KEYS to _TYPE and this does exactly what I need it to d...

This is probably a question for Mike Tate, but any help is appreciated :D When running the Export plugin with settings for TNG output, and the Media files settings on the Basic Options set for Max Height to 1000 and Max Width set to 1000, Use JPEG set UNTICKED and Apply Settings Above to All Images ...

Thanks for your patience Mike. The below attachment shows what the Media Records currently look like: Capture.JPG And this is how I want them to look like: Capture2.JPG For the sake of clarity, it is only the Media Record Title that I want to change. At the moment I don't have any repeat names that ...

Hi Mike, Thanks as always for your considered reply, and apologies for my badly worded question. I thought the way to go would be to write a plugin, and I might give it a go, but as a one-off exercise I'm not sure there would be sufficient pay-off rather than sitting down and doing manual changes fo...

Could anyone please help me get started with some amendments I wish to carry out in FH6? I have about 200 media records which are consistently named "THUMB.Ix" where x is the Record ID of the individual the thumbnail relates to. Each file is linked to the appropriate person. I wish to rename all the...

Yes, that's right, I'm using the TNG mode to export, although I have tweaked the options a fair amount to suit the output I prefer. Having the choice to do so is very useful. I have opted to set the option to leave the _KEYS tag as-is, and then do a quick Replace All in Notepad to change them to _TY...

Hi Mike, Thank you for taking the time to reply, I appreciate your guidance. I'm exporting to TNG. I have been doing this for some years - in fact, just uploading FH's raw GEDCOM - and in general it has been successful. I briefly changed over to GedSite as I thought this would be simpler to maintain...

Hi, I've started using the Export Gedcom File plugin, and finding it very useful. I would like to ask if there are some tweaks I can make in the options, which I might have missed. 1. In EXTRA OPTIONS, under the Media Keywords %d _KEYS options, one of the options is "Move to Note & _TYPE (TNG)". I w...

Thank you all for your suggestions, and a huge thank you to David for converting the file for me.

Thanks Jane, I'll try that later.

Sorry Dave, I am having some trouble sending it, it was stuck in my outbox. I've just realised it's 87MB and I'm not sure the email servers like that much

Many thanks Dave, I have emailed it to you. Not sure which version but suspect it is fairly recent. It is actually FTW not FTM as I suggested.

Thanks
Adrian

I have been given a copy of a cousin's family tree, but it is in FTM (Family Tree Maker) format and I do not have the software. I will not have the opportunity to ask for a GEDCOM export instead for a number of months, and there does not appear to be a free trial of FTM I could download. Is there so...

Hi, did you see Jon's comment?

>> In FH to get a combined diagram, select you and your partner and then choose the appropriate diagram.

Best wishes

Hi Peter, I tend to only record the entries I am most sure about, usually from a birth certificate for example. If I don't have this available, I use a date from another source but mark this as 'Calculated', etc.. I have found census ages to be too inaccurate to be listed as a supplementary date of ...

I know this is a very long shot, but you have got the 'Num Lock' key selected haven't you?

Thanks Jane. Same as you, I would expect the zoom to reset, but not the scaling.

I've done a search to see if this has been asked before, and something similar has, but it didn't appear to have been resolved. When I open a new diagram on screen, it appears much larger than I want it so I use the minus key to make it smaller. Because I am in and out of Gedcom Census, I have to ke...
