Thanks, just added links to mine.

If you are running a Windows machine have a look at the free programme from Microsoft called Synctoy. It will backup / copy other files and folders that you want to once you have configured it. If you have a lot of data you maybe better off getting an external usb drive rather than a usb memory sti...

I have had the opposite experience with Teamviewer. On a trip to the UK I was away for 10 days and left it running on my PC at home accessed it 2 or 3 times every day without any issues whatsoever. I suspect it depends on exactly what you are doing. Did your computer switch to 'standby' (or whateve...

Yes it does.You can chop and change between Mac and Windows at the same time without issue. It is just a virtual machine within the Mac environment.

Jane,

I have put a little bit direct on the Knowledge base. I also made a post about the MAC this morning which you may want to copy across.

There have been several posts in the past about using FH on a MAC. My Windows laptop died a couple of months ago and went in the recycling bin. I decided to bit the bullet and try a Macbook Air due to its weight size etc. I was then presented with the problem of how to get FH running on it. I read t...

Jane I must say I like the new look of the forums and the site in general. Like anything new it takes a couple of days to get used to. Thank you for providing the site. It is not a small amount of work to do a major upgrade like this and keep the old site running at the same time. I congratulate you...

Nick

Can one or more of us help out with the template and or help file. I don't have a lot of time BUT I would be able to do some of it for you I am sure. If I can be of help please let me know.

Thanks Jane MUCH

Jane

Any chance of centring the forum in the browser window. On a wide screen monitor it looks most odd scrunched up to the left?

I have resurrected this old thread to see if anyone has tried getting FH to run under Wine on the MAC? Or is parallels still the best way to go?

I have just bought a MacBook Air and after looking at a couple of Mac family tree programmes I definitely need to get FH up and running on it.

Just a suggestion check that your printer driver is not set to print black only for pdf's.

Try using the Ancestral Sources plug-in to attach your new media to your person record. It may do what you want.

John thanks for that.

[oops]I was still using a very early version of the plugin that didn't have the option, I thought I had updated it from the Skydrive link but hadn't. Very [oops]

Mike

Is there any chance of having an option with this plugin to search on FMP.com instead of .co.uk. FMP insist that you log in to the appropriate domain so even though there are matches I can't access them from the link on the html page.

If not so be it.

More php memory needed on the server. This can be done with a custom php.ini file.

Thanks Mike that is what I was thinking of.

So the last updated individual query will do this?

I seem to remember that there is a way to see what date a record was added to FH V5.

Am I correct or did I dream it? If so can someone kindly tell me how I actually do this please?

TIA

Like the other responses as and when I find someone I add them and then research their line and tie it all together.

Jane & Simon, thanks for that much better than my rough and ready one.

The dark around the edges is something that happens with all fiche readers due to the lens and the bulb. There isn't much that you can do about it when you are taking the photo. I found that the best results were with the camera on a tripod to ensure that the camera lens was in the same plane as the...

No luck with a flat bed scanner. I have put mine on my fiche reader and then used my camera to photograph them and it has worked reasonably well. See small sample attached. I have read that other people have had some success with both a film slide scanner and also a usb microscope that connects dire...

If you want to send me a PM with your email address I will send you a rough and ready ePub conversion

PDF to ePub even with Calibre is a real challenge and even the Calibre author says don't start with a PDF if you want a reflowable document. Don't forget that a lot of eReaders like both Sony and Kindle can read PDF's natively. If you really want to do this conversion then my advice would be to conv...
