Mike, I'll just note that I can enter data into the Standardized field of the place record with no problem. I checked the Place property box file (PB-_PLAC.fhdata) and it is default and fine. I have FH v7.0.21 installed and have experienced no problems with the installation. Update... Apparently, th...

I told David how to 'uncustomize' the Places / Edit property box. He says that he didn't add the second Customized field. Regarding the property box reached from the Maps option. If I type anything into the Standardized field, it is immediately erased as though I hit the Backspace key. (type xxx, th...

David, The default place record / place / edit screen 'Standardized' field works fine. As suggested above, you need to remove the extra non-standard 'Standardized' field at the bottom of the screen (your screenshot above). Sorry. I didn't notice the extra field when I first looked at your post. Jim

David,

Use: Tools / Work with data / Places

Select a place, click [Edit], and enter the standardized place in the appropriate field.

Both the .HTML and .PDF files are in the Assets list for the latest version.

I haven't found a place to change the target folder.

However... It just takes one extra click in the Save as window to save in the Downloads folder.

Again, this issue has nothing to do with Family Historian. I sent John an email offlist so that I can send a fix for this issue to him. Here's the fix. I needed to find the website again. <g> https://www.urtech.ca/2021/11/solved-core-isolation-memory-integrity-incompatible-drivers-wdcsam64_prewin8-s...

The field already exists. There is a NOTE tag allowed in the Header record. When you view the Header record in the Property Box, the field is named 'File Description'. I use this to detail the contents of each of my GEDCOM files. Displaying this text when doing a mouse-over of the project name in th...

A bit late to the party; however, yes. I'm also using FH v7.0.11.

Local sentence definitions are working for me.

For example... In my sister's Death sentence, I changed the global "died" to "was found deceased" and that is output in the Individual Narrative.

Property Box (individual) / Facts tab / facts list Is there a way to make each fact in the Facts tab list display using two rows rather than one? That's why showing the note for each tag worked in TMG. You could control how many rows each tag in the list used. I had it set to two rows so more of a n...

Linda,

Occupation is a standard GEDCOM attribute. The standard Occupation tag type in TMG should be set to export as OCCU. FH7 will import those tags as attributes.

We've talked about this but I don't recall why you would have a custom Occupation tag type in TMG.

Jim

I'm seeing a similar thing for a different fact type. I'm using a test TMG data set imported to FH7 to look at source import in GedSite from FH7. The TMG import created a project-specific TMG fact set. My global custom fact set has the fact type as an attribute. The TMG project fact type set has the...

The 2-principal TMG import issue could be resolved with a plug-in and this is a much simpler solution than messing with the current TMG import code. The user would need to create an appropriate family fact type. The user backs up and runs the plug-in. 1) Enter the names of the fact type (individual)...

Mike, Thanks for the quote. I filed this support request... Could these rules be followed for the TMG import? 1) Every Tag with 2 Principal Persons as spouses/partners becomes a Family Fact (Event/Attribute) 2) Every Tag with 2 Principal Persons not spouses/partners becomes an Individual Fact of 1st...

Mike, John Cardinal is doing the same with custom 2-principal events with his TMG to GEDCOM application. The reason is that TMG allows 2-principal non-family events (the principals are not married or the parents of a child). Making the 2nd principal a witness allows all 2-principal events to be expo...

To support what Linda said... I wrote... > I'm pretty sure that all 2-principal _custom_ events are importing as described in the previous paragraph whether they have witnesses or not. I need to investigate this further. All TMG custom events with 2 principals, Residence events with 2 principals, Ce...

Mike, From my testing, TMG residence events with 2 principals and no witnesses are importing as individual events with the 2nd principal as a witness with the role 'Principal 2'. I'm pretty sure that all 2-principal _custom_ events are importing as described in the previous paragraph whether they ha...

Mike, Linda's first issue is a fundamental change in the FH7 import from TMG. FH6 imported family events with 2 principals as family events with 2 principals. FH7 imports family events with 2 principals as individual events with the 2nd principal as a witness with the role 'Principal 2'. We're tryin...

Thanks, MIke.

Your fix and an additional '.' did the job

I did peruse the sentence template help page but didn't go far enough down. My bad.

So I have three issues to report to CP for the TMG import.

Jim

FH v7.0.2.0 I created a simple test in TMG. For each witness to a census event, I added a note for each witness. The census event has a note. The witnesses and witness notes were imported and show in the Witnesses window. All have the role "Witness". The import created a local sentence for each witn...

v7.0.2.0 - Added a fact definition for the “Residence (family)” fact (new in GEDCOM 5.5.1).

This fixes the import of family resident tags from the RootsMagic GEDCOM.

Mike, I understand that FH7 should support 1 RESI tags in the family records section. This was just a fix for now while I'm working through the other issues in the RM GEDCOM regarding the FH import. I would prefer to retain the family Residence tags as family tags. At the moment, the RM8 GEDCOM does...
