Family Historian User Group

Every time I re-open Family Historian I have to re-establish the charts that I've created as visual aids to my work.

I know that I can save the charts but then I have to go through the steps to re-open them.

Is there a way that I can re-open right where I left off?

Maybe it could be considered for a future program update.

Can a plugin be made to give something like I photoshopped onto my tree?

that will work....thanks...jack

How can I label my generations?
I would like to have the generations numbered. So I know which one I am working on. Something similar to this jpg.

It was a small isolated town. the links are true.

Exactly what I wanted. Thanks...jack

Yes, I see that. How do I remove/control them?

Looking closer at my tree & at my wife's tree I find indications that I do not understand. Looking in the version 5 manual I cannot find an answer. What are these little ovals supposed to represent & where can I find a discussion about them? thanks...jack

well, the Jonesboro was a comment referring to the same number with Benjamin Foss but the procedure did work. Thank You.

I just went to one of my ancestors info to put the info in a separate database & found, again, that a piece of media was still there. I thought we had gotten rid of it. I went to the web & found this answer: https://www.fhug.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16570 to delete source records. I will delete ...

I guess I didn't explain correctly.
I did not do anything to the listings in the "File" column. I did remove the "media\tab x-xx" from the "Media Records" column.
After your comment I had to check. The links are all there. (Phew).

What I did do based on the earlier parts of this discussion was to go to the media records and remove the "media\tab x-xx" and then did a sort query as recommended by Lorna Craig. Printed it!
Now when I enter data I 1st check to see if I already have the record & then just link.

Well, there are possibly multiple sources/causes. 1. The GEDCOM that I've created over the years through my work. 2. Images from FHL films FHL libraries that I copied from films & scanned in (the Benjamin Foss & Hannah Miller page is one such an instance). 3. Pages copied from Ancestry 4. Pages copi...

This advice appears to have corrected my problem.
It also appears that I need to learn more about the program.
Do you have any recommended tutorials?
And, is this the problem I was having?

With only "include source record media" ticked I have all 5 items

OK. with both checked I have image 1 (all 5 facts) with both un-ticked I have image 2 (no facts) with "include citation I have image 3 (no facts) with "include source medium I have image 4 all 5 facts) If I un-tick "include source record media" in either Aaron Barney OR Benjamin Foss the media is re...

Can I completely remove the source & reinstall it tagging it to the appropriate people? Lots of work I know but I'll do it.

I just found another instance of similar actions. It is frustrating and I am sure that I am the problem here.
Thanks in advance...jack

thank you...jack

forgot to insert screen grab

All right.I have got the query made and it works fine. Now this brings up another problem. I went to another ancestor and she has media that does not apply. I do not want to delete the media completely as it is needed with other ancestors. How do I unlink it from just this person? I do have this iss...

reply to lornacraig...exactly what I wanted. Thank You...jack

when I go to "Records Window Icon via Tools > Preferences > Display and check the box "always show records icon in navigation bar"
Nothing seems to change. Also, what does the icon look like?

I wish to print my media list. It now has 800 entries. I downloaded the plugin for finding duplicate media and cleared a huge amount of duplicates. I now wish to print out the media list so I can refer to it before I assign media to an ancestor. If it is there I do not want to upload it again. I did...

The double entry solved the problem. Thanks...jack
