Yes, getting there!

It was finding that there was Sources Property window that was my last step when I did succeed.
Thanks for the tips, I will work through them, after I have taken a reminder screenshot.

Lorna, I previously tried several times to arrange the windows so as to create a new Source from the starting point of your image clip, it has taken me until now to manage it! :) Is there some way I can save the setup so when I reopen FH it will start that way? I also noticed that because the Media ...

Thanks Mike I will try that.

Slowly working through my Media and adding them to Source records but I am having trouble keeping several windows open at the same time to transfer the data. The sequence is as follows. Select all the Media in my Certificates folder. Run Where Used Record Links 1.3 Sort the output on Data Ref Where ...

I have not set any Presets so it is the default list.

Thanks for letting me know of the change. I am afraid it is no better with my setup.

Sorry about posting in the wrong section.
Just a personal point of view, but I believe it would be good if it worked both ways.

Sorry if this is a naïve question but it occurred to me while I was making existing photos of certificates and documents in FH sources, why can't there be an option when first adding a photo or document to create a source record at the same time? Or perhaps it does and and it is yet another thing I ...

Thanks Jane, JIT !!

Thanks Mike, I will make the alterations you suggest. I suppose Search and Replace could strip out the offending characters, I might have a play with it. (after a backup of course!) Yes the other Media types are under the folder names as listed, but so far only the Certificates folder Titles have be...

That is a very generous offer and I would not put you under pressure, when you can find the time. :D :D As an example the Certificate Titles are in the form: "1892 Marr Rec (or D/C, Baptism, B/C, Census) Name(s).jpeg", not too long. If the / presents a problem I could replace or delete them. I will ...

I composed my last post before rushing out and I should have said I had explored Search and Replace , not Find and Replace, sorry. All the FH links, file > media > records are still working, all I have done to date is changed the Media Record Titles of all my Certificates to my new convention. What ...

Tinkered with Find and Replace but I am not sure it might be the easiest way to accomplish what I want. For example. I had already altered all my Media Certificate media names to my new convention and now want their filenames to match. Is that the best way to do it? I am yet to go through my Media P...

Scaling is 250%, it's a high res 15" screen. I will play around a bit more but I kind of expected it was un-fixable.
My CAD program is even worse.

Not really much better I am afraid.

I think the answer to this question might be the Title of it! Is there anything I can do correct the slight image registration in the lower part of this Plugin window? The 'Lock' tick box is half obscured and the buttons along the bottom run out into window edge. Not a major problem but I thought I ...

Thanks Mike.
I will try the

Any change it makes to the Media record File Link is simultaneously made to the actual file name and folder path.

solution first and see how I get on.

I am trying to be a bit more systematic in my file naming but I have a legacy of many (~100) photos that were added to FH by myself and other family members before I settled on a convention. I know if I change one, FH 'looses' it and puts up a crossed box, and I can then go and reset its path and re...

Thanks all for your comments, having started this thread I could perhaps end it. FH is generally simple to use but, both complex and comprehensive. My take on this, having done it, is that it is very easy to start entering family data, creating useful family records that can be visualised into docum...

Yes, you are quite right I had not picked up on all the detail, too busy sorting out my other data.

Thanks Helen, I will have to do some restructuring.

I am try to rationalise my data and getting Sources correctly attached to individuals and families. Of the 4 main ones, Birth, Marriage, Death and Census where is their recommended 'position'. These would be my guess', are they correct? Marriage and Census attach to Family. Birth and Death to the in...

Thanks Mike, I will give your suggestion a try.

I have read around the topic of Sources and realise it is a large subject with several application methods possible. Perhaps my approach is too simplistic but a large number of my Media entries are going to be Sources so would it be possible to have the option of creating a Source when adding Media,...
