I need to borrow Helen's crystal ball :D I thought it was out for repair! {individual} emigrated< from {%FACT.PLAC:SHORT%}>< on the {=GetlabelledText(%FACT.NOTE2%,"Line: " )} Line>< aboard the {=GetlabelledText(%FACT.NOTE2%,"Ship: ")}>< {date}>< {age}><, with {other=principal,Emigrant}> arriving< i...

Sorry, I did not make that clear at all, I'm seeing it in the Sentence box If I copy and paste that same note, and place it outside the [[ ]], then in the Sentence Box, the original note is still truncated but the more traditional {note} entry appears as expected in full.

I 've created an Auto-Create Note for my Emigration Fact. As a part of it, I had a "Note: " line, (I thought it would be easier inside the Auto Create Note rather than having a separate {note} entry afterwards) As far as I can see, this is being truncated at around 500 characters. I can't firm up on...

Many thanks

The Plugin Store lets us view Recently Updated plugins (as does the Home page). Does anyone know if this includes brand new Plugins? (Maybe better asked to CP?)

It checks every Individual, not just the latest addition.

Thanks, that was my question

I've started to look at what could be changed - so far managing to detect wronguns by changing line 55 from

Unfortunately this is beyond my ability, I'll let the experts look at this.

It says in the Plugin Store and in the Plugins window description box for this plugin that it: "tidies the capitalisation for Surnames recorded in the file in ALL CAPS ." i.e. As shown in the Name: boxes of the Property Box Main tab. So if none of your Individual records has their surname recorded ...

The "Clean up Surname Capitalisation" plugin says Process all Surnames, tidying the capitalisation for Surnames recorded in the file in ALL CAPS. Special Cases for Mac,Mc,de’ and O’ have been included more can be added in the capitalise function, also allows over-ride at runtime by prompting the con...

Another vote for single column

Magic, I suspected there might well be a work around.

I'll use that

When adding an Existing Source Citation to a fact using the Add Citation button, the Citation window always opens, and I have to close it immediately before proceeding. I realise it is a floating window and can be dragged elsewhere. Citation.jpg I have no need to view that window, as invariably, I h...

Thanks to all who put their time into helping others.

Merry Christmas

Certainly the bulk of my attention is on Sentence Templates, But I also have quite a few with Auto Create Notes, new (or different) Role texts etc as well. But even something as simple as trying to ensure consistency in Sentences for example what version of Place or date to use on all Facts, and ens...

Thanks for the suggestions. As I said before I am not fluent in the coding, and spaces, commas, full stops etc often end being done by trial and error. However, as you suggest, Exporting a Fact Set will be simpler than backups. That File > Import/Export > option is another part of the software that ...

Thanks for clarifying that. Now I know the details, I'm quite happy doing the manual alteration each time I run the plugin. So far I've never needed a Restore, but I realise I would need to unzip and rename first. I am surprised you need more than one FH Settings backup on the same day! My main use ...

Mike You may recall that quite a few months ago I contacted you (by email) about a problem I was having with the "Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings" plugin not retaining the saved Backup destination folder. Having had a bit of time recently, I played with the problem and I think I have pa...

Many thanks to both Mike & Lorna for the replies Lorna's response certainly solved the initial problem. Mike's reply then enabled me to educate myself and to go further and investigate the presets properly. I'm not sure I had ever seriously noticed or investigated them. By printing Mike's reply (an ...

Thanks,

I've printed that note out and will check tonight.

Much appreciated

As ever, really fast and even better, accurate support. Many thanks.

Looking for some help with the display of Charts (in this case Descendants) but it happens with all 4 main Chart types. My Root person is getting displayed with a grey fill (although it does not 100% fill the box). It is in the same colour as the drop shadow, and it makes the text almost unreadable ...

Reported to CP and nice prompt reply.

"Thank you we have logged the issue."

I've noticed a minor spacing issue on the Narrative Report "Descendants by Generation" and I'm wondering if it is a bug or an error on my part. I spotted it first looking at "Unmarried couples". After a bit of checking, it seems to relate to the existence or not of a marriage fact. The following is ...

Thanks for help. I have watched the video, and will now delete the offending objects and start again.

Thanks

Can I just check this info on an old thread. There is only one Media file and one Media record, so the only extra is the Link to Face frame setting. I've just added an image to the media tab for each of 8 individuals. I then added it again to each individual, this time linking it to the respective f...
