Hi Jane,

I use your FH Conversion but always use the Split Tree Helper first to remove any unwanted data from a copy of my main Gedcom. So the only option I would need is to convert and resize images.

As an aside Jane as you asked about testing the plugin rating and commenting.  I posted a rating and comment, hit submit, the page refreshed with the comment but without the rating.  I hit F5 to refresh and ended up with 2 identical comments.  The rating was shown this time though.  I should probabl...

That change works fine now Jane.  I can see the plugin being really useful to me. [smile]

When prompting whether to replace text, you get the buttons 'OK' and 'Cancel'.  Is it possible to have a 'Skip' button so that you can keep some searches and change others?

I tried a few options and it's just directly related to the number of pictures shown in the diagram. I excluded a lot of pictures and the memory usage of FH went down to 1GB from 1.8GB.

Regards,
Stuart

Thank you Jane, I'll give that a go.

Hi, I'm using the latest patched FH4 on Windows 7 (64bit). I have many (2000+) multimedia files and I'm coming across quite a few errors when trying to display pictures in FH. These include mainly 'Unable to load object. Out of memory'. I noticed that in Windows Task Manager FH is using 1.9GB of my ...

Hi, I don't wish to link to existing events. When I create a new census entry using AS method 1, it creates the multimedia entry, links a new source record to the multimedia and links the source to the census event. I would like to link the multimedia directly to the census event. I'll try method 2 ...

Thanks for the quick reply. The forum entry I refer to was back in May '09. ' The next entirely new version that will be released later this year will have support for event images (I've already written that bit!) but you'll have to wait for that I'm afraid. ' I must have misunderstood your meaning....

Hi Nick, First, thank you for a super program.  I've only been using it for a couple of hours but I'm sure it will be a permanent feature on my start menu from now on. I read on the Gedcom Census forum that you are working on attaching images to events as an option.  Is there an option for linking a...

Ok, this is a windows option itself, not FH, but I haven't yet found the right combination of colours.

Hi, Is there any way to change the record window background colour?  The reason I ask is that when I am in the properties dialog with the record window shown in the background, I cannot see the individual record I am on highlighted.  When in the record window, the record is highlighted blue, but whe...

Hi,
Solved the problem!  There was something wrong with the way that Windows was associating .ged files with FH.  Under File Types in Explorer, I reset the default and saving works ok now.  I think that FH automatically associated .ged and I may have done it manually also, causing a problem.

The file I am using is not a shortcut. I have just noticed something else: If I click on the file to open FH, i.e. the non-working option, and then choose exit, the Save popup appears but asks if I want to save my filename, but it has appended a double quote ('). For example, my file is called 'My F...

No, I didn't install the demo.  I saw an excellent review of FH in a computer magazine and went straight out and bought it!  So far I'm very pleased with it.

Hi, I recently bought FH 2.1 and upgraded to 2.2. I have a GEDCOM file that I exported from another application and this works fine in FH, but I have noticed the following. I have associated .GED files with FH in Windows XP.  If I double click my .GED file, FH opens with the file, but I am unable to...

Hi Mike, It looks like the 1901 site uses compressed tiffs in LZW format and I have the same problem with FH displaying these. I think the Scottish site doesn't use compression. You will need to save the tiffs in a different format. I use tiffs compressed in ZIP format. I'm not sure what image softw...
