Is it possible, for individuals who have been married more than once, to have different photos next to them in their Focus Window? So it is a photo that is more representative of them at that time.

Goes live on FMP at midnight tonight, the 5th of January

Thanks Mike,
I pretty sure that I hadn't customised that Property pane, as I said, 'Repositories' were a new feature to me.
However I went through the process in your link and sure enough, no old versions,
So I deleted and restored the fields and that did work, thanks again

When I created a repository record, its Property window has Email : & Website: greyed out and they are without text boxes.
Have I missed a setting that enables them?

Of course you are right, I really wanted to comment on the 'convention' as much as anything.

They are media file names.

Also Jane's Plug-In might be copying in the wrong direction, not sure from PKF's post

I did a similar media renaming process a while ago when I realised my 'convention' had been a bit random. I chose "1855 DCert Fred Bloggs Place" as my new 'standard' as it seemed faster to lookup the media record I wanted as I had fewer in a particular year (1855), than of particular type (DCert). I...

Sorry, please ignore this, the Font settings changes did the trick!

Mike, I have a high res' screen issue with your Plugin, it is the with text on the Options tab.
Resolution 3840 x 2160, 250% Scale.
Do you need any more details ?

There are also a useful selection of Plugins in the Store that can help with Media Moves/Changes/Finds/Links, worth exploring.

Sorry yes, they did also say 'passing the problem to the developers'.
I did let them have a copy of the 'faulty' photo so they will be able to tell if is FH or the EXIF data.

Must be a known issue as CP came back the same day with a suggestion to Open and Save the photo with Irfranview to clear the orientation settings. Worked immediately.

I had turned off the Auto Rotate setting so turning it back on, placing the troublesome photo at the top of list then creating a Link to Face frame, I found another issue. The Link to Face frame displays as blank in the Focus Window, just a white rectangle. Shutdown FH and then re-opened it and the ...

Yes, I had the same thought

I have failed to amend the EXIF data to correct the problem.
I intend to re-scan it in the correct orientation but I will see if it has the same issue in Reports before I do.

Thanks Lorna, that explains it, sort of. I had scanned the original and it was incorrectly orientated so I used Photoshop to correct it then move it to my Media>Photos folder. It seems the imbedded data still has the original orientation as turning off auto-rotate in Preferences its goes back to the...

No I hadn't. The steps I took were; Link photos to Individual. Amend the photo sequence to make one of them first. Create the 'Link to Face' frame and confirm it is in 'prime' position. Open the Booklet and choose Full Rebuild. Paged through and found the problem. I have subsequently closed FH and r...

I had a quick look to see if this had been reported before but couldn't see it. I believe with Booklet's default settings, an individuals photo that is positioned first in their Property window is the one used in a Booklet. And, if that is a 'Link to Face' image, that will be used. I have just added...

Lorna, I made a mistake in my last post, the page numbers that didn't correlate were those from the Status bar of MSWord. Also, it was pages from the rtf file I was printing, not a pdf, I just used pdf printing to make paperless test prints to determine the correct page numbers

Just a quick follow up. Printing the complete Booklet after the above tweaks was fine. However I printed it two-sided which was not what I wanted for the Waterfall, I wanted that to be joined pages that could be opened as if one, so individual page prints. Went back and printed just those and had to...

CP have responded to say they know the issue and there is a work around as the Images are all there, just stacked on top of each other.
I was working in MSWord and so inserted 3 pages after the Waterfall image, then dragged the visible image to the third inserted page, and then so on for the others.

Yes v7.0.7, so will do.

Has this been reported to CP, I know there have been some booklet/printing issues that have?
I have 4 x A4 page Waterfall Chart in my Booklet which saves to pdf (Nova and Acrobat Distiller) fine but looses pages 1, 2 and 3 when it is saved to rtf.

Thanks Mike, now working through the results.

Some guidance please. I want to be able to find: All Individuals that have as one of their Facts, a Census Record with Media (an Image of the original record) but without Text from Source. I want to add the missing Text. I have dug around the various parts of Individual>Events>Census, but not been a...

I did it first manually in the Source editor just to prove the concept but using Excel is the way to do it, much quicker.
Copy and Paste FH into Excel, transpose, then Copy and Paste back to FH.
