Mike. Then i dont understand why they have made it.

Jane. Ok. As it has been discussed here several times before and has been bought from FHs store. I had excpected a little more help..........

I have just bought the Charting Companion, and it has made a plugin in my FH. But the only thing it seems to do is starting the Charting Companion in a separate window. But no data is sent into the Charting Companion - it just asks for a file. Of cause i can load it with a gedcom file - but then wha...

I have just received the newsletter and tried to see the Youtube video, but the sound was so bad that i gave up getting any relevant information. I have written to FH also.

Kind regards

At the moment i dont get any hints at all . Is that the situation now that MH dont support hint to FH any more?

Ok. Thanks

Hi Mike

The problem was from a Legacy made gedcom file that I only opened to make a reduced gedcom file for The Genealogy Reporter. There was no merge involved and the owner was not aware of the problem before i found it.

Kind regards

Hi Mike Removing the two persons associated with the unnamed person did the trick. Thanks. It was from a friends gedcom file. I did wonder. Why dont FH remove such associations when it checks a new gedcom file? Or tell me about it. It has some times also happened for me in my own tree. Most time i ...

Yes, but this is only a very temporary solution. Next time i open this part of the tree. The problem is back. I want to permanently to remove the unnamed person from the database.

Kind Regards

When I mark a box in a diagram it get a clear yellow color. Is it possible to change that? And if yes, where?

Kind regards

Klaus Yde

Ok - Thats the way. That I wouldnt have guessed

Kind regards Klaus Yde

Is there a way to make all boxes transparent so a background picture can be seen also inside the boxes? I have tried to mark the boxes with an X in the no fill box - but then the boxes get dak grey inside.

Kind regards

Klaus Yde

Is there any easy method to change date format in diagrams. For example to only numerical: 24-12-2017 or change the english month names to another language: may to maj et cet

Kind regards

Klaus Yde

Thanks. Found it

I have just made a simple generation chart for my kids with sundry colors. Is it possible to define other colors for the different generations? I can do it with "format" but would like to make a custom diagram with more muted colors.

Thanks for the suggestions. The solution i found was using "box states" Align with other boxes in same row - and I would guess using the right mouse button command also ;-) By the way - if you use the alignment box in the general tab as suggested in the first response and change it - all the Icon sh...

Some times spouse boxes do this (see attached picture) and I am not able to realign them. I have redrawn and loaded a new saved chart. Tried to make boxes same height et cet - but I am not able to realign them. If I start from scratch again - they are nicely realigned - but then I will have lost sev...

Thanks - I am checking and will try the plugin.

Kind regards

I looked under: Edit>Record Flags...... And there were only Living and Private - and not the eight other Flags I had made.

OK - Thanks.

By the way - It was a Full Backup I restored on my Laptop.

Kind regards

Klaus Yde

I has started using Flags and corresponding Icons. Se below. But when I loaded a backup on my laptop all my flags and icons were gone. I loaded my small collection of home-made icons in the icon folder - but still no icons under the boxes in my diagrams :cry: . And when I checked all my flags were g...

Hi Mike Thanks for the quick answer and being pedantic ;-) - it is sometime necessary for newbies as me. I can see that I was on the right path. My error was that I missed last % in my attempts. Where to read more? Understanding Data References All versions mostly Understanding Functions All versio...

Thanks - got it working. I was trying in this window to make a custom query but was not able to find a field to copy - to the list. But if I understand You - I have to make an expression in the box at the bottom ?? I have tried to make such an expression - but couldn't get it working - what should I...
