Family Historian User Group

All done - thanks so much for your help!

Ok - got it. Thanks for the full picture.

I will try this evening after work....

Teresa

Thanks for the detailed instructions. Sorry for not giving the full path. All you've said makes sense. And, yes - all the new V7 projects have different names from the V6 ones except the FH Sample project. Out of curiosity, why do those V6 projects have to have been converted before I can move the V...

I want them in the Family Historian project folder where they belong. And yes, all the ones I've created since updating to v7 are in the wrong spot (for some reason, I put them in the RM8 Beta folder - don't even ask :roll: ). All my older projects from V6, are where they belong. See the screen capt...

Nothing says MyProj, but it is in my Project Window when I open FH 7.

Not sure what I've done. *sigh*

There are definitely subfolders.

Several of my projects are in the wrong folder.

Do I try moving even if it doesn't say MyProj?

Thanks for your patience.

Teresa

So, I did a stupid thing, and accidentally placed a FH project into a folder for another piece of software. Before it gets too big, I want to move it. How do I move it safely without causing a disaster?

Thanks in advance.

Teresa

It definitely has its uses - specifically to navigate elsewhere in the record set. I often like the check the first images in any given set as they'll often reveal very specific details about it to include in my citations (Parish registers, census returns etc.) However, it needs to function as it do...

I imagine they will implement the change. I sent my comments via both FB and the Contact page at FMP. Received responses both times - the second had the amended one that acknowledged many people were commenting on the need for that one tweak. I'm just surprised no-one raised it during testing. Were ...

I<SNIP> However on a different topic on FMP. Shropshire are offering their members 15% off membership to FMP so I turned off auto renew in order to apply the offer code. A few hours later I received an email from FMP offering 15% off if I turned on auto renew. I telephoned to check that I would rec...

Already done. I sent them feedback via Facebook and received a shorter version of your response. I will also send a comment to them via the website.

The reply I got from FMP
<snip>
So, if others find the "filmstrip" irritating let FMP know.

Good to know there's a solution. And my dad's side is from that area of Poland as well...I hadn't thought of using a macro to input it to save me the time copying and pasting the diacritics. Calico Pie immediately suggested that my macro was outputting ANSI characters rather than UTF8 text. They wer...

Will do - I'm generally not shy about asking for help

Teresa,

You are welcome! If you have any other questions, be sure and ask.

Bill

Thanks, Bill, for the quick response! I figured there had to be a way :) Teresa Click on File > Project Window... . When the window opens listing the existing projects, select the project you wish to copy, click on More Tasks... , and then select Copy Project... from the drop down menu. Bill

A stupid question here, but, I don't want to mess anything up. In his intro to using Ancestral Sources, Nick says: "It is highly recommended that you work with a copy of your project/file until you are sure of how to use Ancestral Sources and have decided on the settings you require." How do I make ...

It appears that they've moved it to the bottom right. Very odd. Overall, I don't mind the new viewer - once they allow us to minimize the film strip (which is handy for navigation), it will be just fine for me. fhtess65, Not all images have the facility, and those that don't, don't show the toggle b...

They appear to have moved it to the bottom of the page - see screen capture. You have to click on Linked transcripts, toggle and then click to view...extra steps for sure. OTOH, we can now more easily move around the record set with the film strip - though it would be nice to minimize it. I passed t...

This is what I see - which one is it? I can't find it...

Just went to get you a snip of the button but FMP is down for maintenance. I think it was the 3rd or 4th button from the left at along the top.

And I'm still at 7.0.0, which the program tells me is the most recent version. Interesting. Not that I'm too concerned, I just find it curious. Teresa Didn't know there was one. Interesting that FH7 doesn't indicate that updates are available, mine says 7.0.1 is the latest version. Perhaps CP are st...

I tried as you suggested, and while it said it had been updated, yet again, when I tried to cite with it, the {Type} field wasn't there. Not sure if this is user error (still entirely possible) or a minor bug. From memory you need to synch the changes (Tools > Source Template Definitions, select the...

Hi Helen, I realize now I had found how to Save, but it didn't (and still doesn't) appear to have "taken"... I'm attaching a screen capture of the modified template (adding {Type} field at the beginning of the Footnote). Below the template, is a screencap of the citation window, showing that the {Ty...

Ah - thanks for the info I'll wait for my email...

CP seem to be notifying people who have reported bugs and asking them to test the fixes
They haven't started a 'real' rollout yet.

I haven't had an email from CP. I checked for updates via the Help menu and got the message I have the most recent version (7.0.0)...is it being rolled out gradually?

In RootsMagic, when I create a citation template, if I find something that needs tweaking, I can edit it and the change(s) show up right away. I have tried editing a couple of the templates I've created in FH7, only there doesn't seem to be a way to save them, so I have to create a brand new one and...

Helen - I just tried out the Birth Entry and really like it! I find AS too time consuming (and, at times, confusing) for me and prefer to stay in FH only, so your plugin is fantastic Thanks so much. Looking forward to the others.

Got it - thanks! I had no idea what the icon meant!

Appreciate the help as always

Teresa
