Hi Forum

Does anyone know why key age dates would not be shown for an individual? Please see the attached screen shot.

I have run the Tool Re-Order Out of Sequence Data. And the Validate Function and restarted the program but still no Dates?

Many Thanks.

Hi Mike

I guessed as much - I'll keep the session 'live' until I've finished. Thanks for the prompt reply.

Hi Forum Does the Merge/Compare function remember where you got to when managing the Action Buttons? In other words if I close the Merge/Compare session will it lose all of my decisions? Is there a way to preserve what I have done so far or must everything be handled in one session? Many Thanks David

Thank you Nick

That answers my question and is basically what Mike was saying earlier.

Sorry to have called you in on this one.

David

Thank You Mike and John.

I will take a look at that KB article and follow your recommendations.

David

Hi John

Ah - I see, I suspected as much.

I guess AS has no real way of knowing how long the resulting file name could become before the Commit to FH is actioned.

Hopefully Nick Walker will comment soon.

David

Okay Mike/Anne

I'll take a closer look at this additional setting.

Many Thanks.

Hi John That nailed it - Thank You. Just need to find the root cause for this issue. It would appear AS and/or Windows allows for the creation first time around of the media file names even though they are too long. And afterwards Windows won't handle them when using Project Copy or Restore because ...

Update This could be a Windows issue. I'm using Win 10. I tried to copy the complete version of the media folder contents into the restored project media folder to get the missing media to where it should be and then rebuild the links. Windows objected claiming some files names were to long and prev...

Hi Forum I tried a restore of the Project that has no reported Media Problems reported a) using the Repair Media Plug-In and b) using the External Links Auto Repair feature. Not good news - when I run the Repair Media Plug-In over the restored Project (Renamed of course) it reports 58 missing Media ...

One clear issue is that it is not copy media files correctly. The base Project has no issues with media, this was all checked yesterday with the help of Mike Tate and his guidance on media folder paths. When I make the same checks for the newly copied Project the media repair Plug-In reports many is...

Hi Forum I want to copy a project so I can play around with the Merge/Compare function, and to keep a Pre-Merge version of the database (as well as a Backup). When I copy a Project - I get the error message Copy Failed. The system cannot find the path specified. See screen shot. When I answer with O...

Hi Mike

Please see the screen attached. The 'No Off-Spring Bar' is colour Yellow. Therefore the two other married couples should also have this bar - correct?

David

Hi Mike

One question please - why does the 'No Off-Spring Bar' not show for married couples with no Children?

David

Thank you Mike

And thank you everyone for your contributions.

BR

David

Thank you All. Mike's suggestion was still helpful even though it was in the wrong direction. It's handy to see that 'No Off-Spring Bar' without having to open up that particular Individual to view if there are any descendants. And the use of a Flag for the other Direction is an excellent idea. Much...

Hi Forum

Can I ask if anyone has a special technique for marking 'End of Line' Individuals. Meaning further Research is exhausted or has reached a practical end point. And can be visible in Diagrams?

Looking for Inspiration...

Hi Mike

Spot On as usual and Good Catch. That solved the problem. The Plug-In now states no problems found after changing media to Media

Hi Mike

Capture3 shown here is my Windows 10 Folder structure.

Hi Mike The second column reports paths such as 'media\Baptism\Baptism blah blah' or 'media\Birth\Birth blah blah' See screen shot > Capture. Double clicking the first record shows this > See screen shot Capture1 A view in External File Links shows this > See screen shot Capture2. There are no Netwo...

Hi Mike Okay - I understand this a little better now. When I use the Auto Repair Link from within Tools External File Links. I get the message No Bad Links Found. So all must be good. And I see Project Data Folder in my Media Path. I got confused earlier as the Plug-in reported 480 records with the ...

Hi Mike

No - I didn't say or infer that. I said the Plug-In does not support this. I used it this morning and it found 480 records missing - due I suspect to these media records existing in sub folders below the Media folder.

David

Hi Mike

I have the opposite to Nigel's setup - I create Media in subfolders within the Media folder. Such as Media/Census and Media/Baptism, etc.
This is a legitimate setup allowed by AS.

The Plug-In doesn't allow for this...

Hi Mike

Got it now. Many Thanks. Yes I see it can also switch the focus person to that displayed.

David

Hi Mike

Forgive me but what button is this? The button that I think you mean (right of the Witness button) is greyed out even when I select a Census record? See attached screen shot.
