Thank you Lorna. Yes it would have been clearer as to how best to help you had we been given the full picture of the issue you had identified between the two versions.

@Mike I would have and do agree fully with your comment re regression testing, however it would have helped if you had mentioned the underlying issue in your first post. I'm also struggling to think of a user that would enter facts in the way you describe and lacking such basic data.

Hi Mike, FYI - I reported an issue to CP when using Automatic Source Citations. If you entered an Alternative name when ASC is expected to work, no Citation for the Alt Name was created. This has been fixed in 7.0.10. I'm sure there are many more issues with ASC and what it addresses yet to be disco...

Agreed mine is working now.

I have raised a ticket with FMP (thanks Jane).

Yes I found the same issue of Individuals having their Updated Time Stamp 'updated' when inserting Individual Record Links into Research Notes, Source Records (TFS) and other places where Individual Record Links are allowed. I see the argument both ways - but I would lean towards a change in Record ...

Hi Mark, yes I agree I was literally messing around and trying to better understand the behaviour of the Plug-In in that situation. Also, I'm not yet fully conversant with RM8 and Treeshare capabilities so apologies for time wasting. I'll read again the scope the and process flow and keep within the...

Hi Mark it was created in RM8 using treeshare and downloaded from Ancestry. It was a birth index EG GRO flavour.

Hi Mark I have had a run through of your plug-in and hit an issue when using the compare feature. The compare identified a Fact in RM8 that did not exist in FH7. This was deliberate. The plug-in presented me with an option to Delete that RM data. I chose YES and then received a String Error of some ...

Thank you Mark. I'll begin testing with this Plug-in tomorrow.

Thank you Mark. That sounds good and gives me time to finish my last few Re-Key's in my tree under FH7.

Best wishes

Hi Mark
I have read this over and don't have any further comments apart from when can we test the new Plug-In?

Thank you.

Hi Mark This sounds very promising - I need to read the post a few times over before any comments. But certainly I am an interested party. I made some progress with the tools you recommended yesterday: firstly creating the UID's in FH7 and then running your formatting Plug-In choosing option 3. Then...

Thanks for the Tip Mark. I'll give that FH Feature a go along with the other goodies you mentioned earlier.

Thanks again Mark. That sounds very promising I'll keep an eye out for new posts on this subject.
Meanwhile I will have a play around with those links to groups and tools you provided.

Cheers and Thanks once again.

Thank you Mark. I see, that's a pity. I was hoping to see the new FH 7 feature to generate UID's per Individual exported using Mike Tates's Export Gedcom Plug-In into RM (7 or 8) and then check the result in RM. And then ponder how this could be useful keeping thing in a manual sync. I have some SQL...

Just began to digest this post. Can anyone tell me where the UID is stored against an individual in Roots Magic 7 and or 8 please? I see settings in RM8 for REFN, RIN and FSID as to how to display the ID Number but can't find any mention of UID.

Thank you.

Thank you Mike
That sounds good re preserving the Plug-In settings globally. I'll check out that thread.
Thanks for your help with this post. I'll experiment with those Max settings to find the best compromise.

Apologies once again for the confusion on my part...

Best wishes

Hi Mike I have now managed to upload the FTM2019 tree data to Ancestry. However, the media files are not as sharp as they are when viewed in FH. Can that be improved by increasing the Max Size values on the Basic Settings Page? Any significant consequences to this other than larger files and longer ...

Hi Mike Okay, yes I think I changed the Media Conversion to default after you noticed the Export mode had changed. To which I still don't know why that happened. Attached is the settings for the Plug-In export I have run just now: I have made the necessary pre-checks found in the Plug-In help file b...

Morning Mike Apologies for the confusion and wasted time. Let's reset and try again please. The main difference in the last export from yesterday, the one which removed the Address details was due to me opening the exported Gedcom in FH and choosing yes to validate the file. I will read the export n...

Hi Mike I think we need to hit the reset button on this. At 13:42 I said I would try again the export. You are clearly under the impression I have not changed anything since this mornings run, when in fact I have. I have not changed any data, but I have made additional extracts since we started this...

Hi Mike I have found the two 1841 Census Images for Ann Doughty. See attached. Yes - I am importing the latest and greatest Gedcom file from the same export folder and yes it has the date and timestamp of when I last ran the Plug-in I now see the linked media but for some reason the image count per ...

Hi Mike - Many thanks for your input. I'll play around with those key settings and see if I can get it to work correctly in FTM. I did look in the help and advice but became confused. Strange - I'm not sure why the Export Type changed. I haven't made any new exports since I started this post. I'll s...

Yes Mike I'm sure I'm importing the Gedcom into FTM.

Thanks
