I give up. I've looked and looked but I can't find the option to set the option for query windows (locked/unlocked) back to the default in FH6 (unlocked). If I'm not careful, I end up with a bazillion query windows.

Help please!

I didn't know that the same tag could be defined in different tag sets (well, I guess I never thought about it). Your solution to use the sentence template together with multiple fact sets is interesting. My intuition tells me that it could be useful in other situations. BTW, I'm actually working wi...

One of the snippets was assigned to 2 categories.

At some point, I'll go back through and see if there are others than can go in more than one category.

Middle of the night moments... Both my husband and I have them.

Couldn't sleep, so I got up and assigned (I hope), everything to categories.

This is a summary of my work (the 'x' in column 1 indicates that I checked it):
Now, I can go back to bed...

I don't have a problem to do the work, but it'll have to wait until tomorrow morning (it's almost 19:00 here).

Is there someway to verify that all snippets are categorized, short of going through them manually and checking?

I assigned categories to one page full of snippets.

One thing that I notice in the display (kb->downloads>snippets) is that snippets that have not been assigned to a category do not show up anywhere.

No, not the sentence. I mean the text that I define for the fact type Summary Template

I can see the categories now, but can't assign them -- I get a 'forbidden' icon.

Tried it from both 'edit' and 'quick edit'

What, in addition to everything else you do, you're not a mind reader?

OK, that works great. I've never used that feature before.

Only one problem, I'd like to be able to specify the output for GetDisplayText (similar to what I'm able to do in the property box). Can it be done?

Shosh

I don't see any snippet categories. I am trying both 'quick edit' and 'edit.'

No pressure...

But then the column is no longer clickable.

Is there anyway to control the text displayed for a %FACT% Column in query results? For example, I have a To Do fact. I've added the fact to an individual with the value "Add 1911 census." In the query results, this appears as "Add 1911 census." I would like to see "To Do: Add 1911 census." Thanks, ...

I have no objections

Before I write my own function -- it there something like the built-in function MediaCount() which works for facts?

Thanks,
Shosh

OK, so if I understand what you're saying, since we have a very specific way of doing things, I will probably need to write my own data assistant. I'm hoping that I can make use of some of the newly available tools to make things simpler. I'm seeing a lot of sleepless nights in my future :) as I des...

Absolutely

I can assign them.

This is a quick and dirty first attempt to get a discussion going.

I created a pdf version, but it's apparently too big... So here's the Word version.

I will think about it.

I agree with you. I am hesitant to put something in the plugins directory other than a plugin.

Hi, I just read the KB article "Plugin Structure, Version Control and File Naming Advice." I'm amazed that I never noticed it before. Version Control for plugins. Imagine that! So, of course, I have downloaded and installed Git for Windows. Do I understand correctly that I should setup the repositor...

Am I mistaken, but didn't there used to be a listing for the snippets according to category? Or am I making it up in my head because that's what I would like to see?

Hi Helen, I downloaded both plugins and have started studying them. Soon after starting to use Family Historian (TMG refugee), I wrote a plugin (which my husband named 'Sourcery') which manages just about all his data entry. It's data-driven, via templates defined for each data source he uses. Among...

I use PSPad editor. There are a number of articles in the Knowledge Base about various aspects of using it.
