OK, unticked the extra options boxes for namedlists and root record. The root output was still there, so created another named list just to make sure they are being removed now, and yes, the named records are gone, but the root item remains. Included a snippet of the FH Export 'rules' showing that t...

Impressed with your dogged persistence in debugging. The output looks really good. 1.jpg Only thing noticed (like earlier) is that the extra test/data coming out for the first individual with (research) notes. I've got it down to only one now. Initially there were about 14 such items in the gedcom, ...

Simply unable to get the MI or HI codes in the gedcom again. Totally confusing. I even re-downloaded 2.5.2 from you link, and retried. Reloaded FH as well, deleted old gecoms, etc. So, unable to do the test you suggested of inserting CONC's. One note, assume you noticed the number suffix in of the M...

I thought I did as you indicated on the proper tabs, but anything is possible, and will give it another go. Will also see what Legacy does with CONC as well.

Ron

Well, somewhat baffled, but bottom line is that none of the options worked,--within Legacy that is. There the notes still became part of 'general' notes. I did have one output that had the 'MI' and HI' in it. I believe the very first iteration, with the 0 note box checked,..I think. But Legacy still...

Thanks for the efforts, Mike. The Place record removal removed the ZZ items. However, having downloading the new plugin, got the same result with either the box checked or unchecked for placing note record 0~ record into note records. Neither file had any MI or HI characters in the gedcom. Am I miss...

Something just noticed in the LFT export with Plugin; there were 3000 'ABBR' ZZ Place recs created for my locations. These carry over to Legacy when imported there. The snapshot is from the editor I use RJ TextEd .BTW...would like to have this excellent application added to your editor resources, bu...

Thank you for documenting how to print/save records which was missing from the Knowledge Base link I was referred to earlier. I had just figured it out before you posted the revised link.

Ron

OK, I think I got it. Used the query and selected the named list, and now I can save the contents. Need to review now how to get the data fields desired.

Thanks!

Ron

Sorry, but I'm still missing something. I created a 'named list' with the records in the window which was filtered, but what's next to capture the rows to a text file.

Ron

Can I capture or print, from any of the tabs, a filtered records window result to either a text file (like a listing) which I can then use for other purposes (spreadsheet,etc)? Just wish to capture the rows as they appear in the records window, ...not as a print image though. I looked through the Kn...

OK, understood, I think. Since multiple occurrences of , e.g., 'MI5' , or just '5's, FH regards it as duplicated Note ID's and assigns it's own sequenced Note record ID. For now, am putting this on the back burner. Not sure about the CHAN/DATE in LFT. I do appreciate that you checked into this. I'm ...

Were you saying they're not unique? LegacyFT is prefixing the Individual ID with MI or HI, so they ARE unique. If the FH import cannot do this, then one would have to do it somewhere in FH. I know which notes they are by the leading text (research) or (medical). Perhaps as a learning experience, wil...

The GEDCOM relevant data: 04.jpg I checked the rest of the Gedcom, and consistently the MI is followed by (Medical):and the text, while HI is followed by (Research): and the text. Legacy is trying to ID it. I suppose FH would handle like TNG, which doesn't recognize it, and puts them in as regular n...

Mike, The first 3 snips (this reply=the max 3 images) are from the source in Legacy, and the last (next reply) is what appears in the Legacy GEDCOM. It puts parens around the 'research' and 'medical' . But also, in the next message, see the 'HI' and 'MI' codes. Are they Identifiying by the tabs? 01....

OK, just thought, as supplement to this post, I'd also show what it looks like with the subsidiary notes flag checked after import within Legacy itself. I agree Legacy doesn't know what to do with the sub note records. You can see the sub record ID itself is taken as part of the note and then the du...

I guess this might be considered an FYI as to the default options in the plugin. With the gedcom export to Legacy FT, noticed within Legacy duplication of many Ind notes. Inspected the gedcom and found the following. 2.jpg This was using the default for 'other options' tab. 1.jpg So unchecked the in...

A generally positive comment from a newcomer to Family Historian 6.1.4. The convenience and feature rich functions of FH enabled a speedy migration for me. On Feb 19th downloaded the trial, purchased the next day on Feb 20th. And tonight, Feb 25, have completed testing and am ready to go live. This ...

Will review filter rules,..just a bit unfortunate it's not a full character filter. I picked those characters back in LegacyFT because less distracting to the viewer, yet provided a good key for TNG collection separation. TNG's filter handles this fine. Strange, the '-' (dash,hyphen) is found OK eve...

Another question, possibly a bug? In the Records window, Media tab, using the 'filter' box. Seems to work fine for numeric and text in titles, but '{" or '}' do not. I have these in many of my titles. It is a keycharacter (instead of a keyword) which I used in Legacy FT which then was used within TN...

Fantastic! Thanks to both of you!

Ron

A simple question with a 'yes' or 'no' answer (I hope). In the Records Window, Notes tab, all the notes are nicely displayed, along with how many times they've been linked. Is there a way within FH to know where or to what the Note is linked, similar to the Media tab?

Thanks,

Ron

FH 6.1.4

So because the title is the same, they are handled differently? How would I edit the second note? I will review the knowledge base link. That could be an issue for me. I skimmed through the recommended reading, and other topics there. I could have missed it, but I didn't see anything relative to med...

media notes.jpg Using FH 6.1.4, imported Gedcom 5.5 std from LegacyFT. Puzzled as to handling of media notes, when an individual has multiple media and notes. In the imaged example, in LegacyFT, both document/media had titles and notes associated with them. Yet one has the individual's name attache...

Mike, Thanks for pointing out the TNG export option in your plugin. If you can believe it, totally missed it the first go-around. Thanks too for pointing out the keyword removal. Except for a few differences in where some notes appear in TNG now compared to my Legacy exports, results are really very...
