Family Historian User Group

Bump. Same question. I've selected both options and I can see no apparent difference between the resulting lists, both appear to take the same amount of time to generate.

yEPPIR, that sorted it out on POL as well! Nice catch, Mike!!

So, ran script at how_to:family_historian_v6_on_crossover_wine#plugin_library_modules|> Plugin Library Modules and the md5 directory reports as present. Nonetheless, I get this when duplicate media plugin is run.

No, haven't run the test script you referred to. Will do so in a bit. The only thing that changed with me last time was the POL and Wine version, which is now current, so not sure what else to do. Yes, it's in the correct directory.

"Check for Possible Duplicate Media" plugin not working under POL. Similar to previous issue with Research Planner, plugin starts, notifies that it requires md5 support, offers to download, fails to download.

Downloaded md5.zip, extracted to plugins folder, restart FH, run plugin, same result.

Have you looked at this plugin

Thanks, Jane! I' give it a look

Thanks Mike. I'll give that string a go and see how it turns out. Some thoughts as to your ideas/suggestions; Damn! forgot about the friggin UDF's :oops: I didn't want to import as a separate project, since I am matching my research back to a specific individual already in my database. But consideri...

After searching around the FHUG, this post seems to fit in several forums, so I've decided to post it here. Please feel free to move it if necessary. I'm looking for a regex or lua pattern script that will accomplish a comparison between two media file names that use these patterns: Original pattern...

Mike, I haven't tested the various version of Wine; there are many from 3.2 to 5.5, so I have no idea where in the range the fix may occur. Wine 5.5 absolutely did not even start on my system. I am running modern hardware (AMD Ryzen CPU, SSD's, lots of DDR4 ram, discrete graphics, etc.) and an updat...

UPDATE!! Research Planner is now running on PlayOnLinux. I had to do the following: 1. update POL to (latest) ver. 4.34 to provide access to versions of Wine above 3.2. 2. upgrade existing FH installation from Wine 3.2 to Wine 5.1 (stable). After these changes, Research Planner started as expected. ...

FYI, I just updated to POL 4.34, which offers me the latest versions of wine, so now looking at upgrading the existing VM.

My current distribution is currently using Wine 3.2. The version of POL is 4.2.12. The zip.zip file must be downloaded & unzipped and the unzipped zip.dll file put in the Plugins folder. Exactly what I did with no joy. Note that the Research Planner plugin goes through the effort of trying to downlo...

As an additional note, I'm not sure why/how I've progressed, but I am no longer getting a pl error, but I'm now getting a popup from the Research Planner telling me that I need "zip support". When I download the compressed zip.dll file and place it in the Plugins folder, and then run the research pl...

I'm afraid I got lost in those last few messages...

Have you any knowledge of debugging Plugin scripts via Tools > Plugins > Edit or is that totally unfamiliar? Mike, that depends on the extent of "debugging" you're suggesting - I've not used the "Edit" for anything, although I see it has a basic debugger feature. I'm not afraid to dive into script ...

Since the plugin starts, but does not find the pl folder, then proceeds to download the support files, it's obviously having difficulty locating/understanding/parsing the path where the pl files are located. According to glossary:family_historian_program_data_folder#windows_vista_7_8_10_in_crossover...

Thanks, Mike. Appreciate the effort!

Nope, they're all there. no sub-folder, permissions are consistent with other directories and files in that path...

Thanks for that. Okay. Remembering that I'm in a virtual world now... The Linux path is actually: "/home/USERNAME/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/COMPUTERNAME/drive_c/ProgramData/Calico Pie/Family Historian/Plugins/" (001).png So... unzipped pl.zip into this path as seen here.

I am running FH 6.2 under Wine 3.20 on KDE Neon 5.18 (Kernel v.5.3.0-45) FH is running like a champ and several plugins (Lookup Missing Census Facts, UDF List) are running well. The Research Planner plugin, however is a different story. Research Planner (v. 2.0.1) installed w/o error, but when runni...

Thanks all for the thoughts and suggestion. I am inclined to do as suggested; i.e. add the HoH only for the accurate grid record and putting the assumptions, if any, as notes.

Starting with the U.S. 1850 Census, each family member or lodger in a household was listed by name. Prior to that, the U.S. census only names the Head of Household, and provides head counts for age categories (Male, under 5, Female, 5-10, etc.). One can make assumptions about who those headcounts ar...

Thanks, yes, I understand all of that. I wasn't complaining; I only noted that it wasn't in the Tools... menu because you had mentioned it being there in response to my previous lament about having to go to Plugins interface to start AS. I assumed that the Tools menu link had been automagically adde...

Thanks, Mike. Long time computer geek, so I understand key mnemonics; I'm sure a bit of repetition will make me a master of FH keyboard shortcuts. I've just noted that TAB sometimes doesn't cycle through a window quite the way I expect it to, ditto Escape. Some things I would intuitively expect in a...

Thanks to both of you. I guess I missed the added menu item in Tools... I've been going to Tools...Plugins... Ancestral Sources...Run. I'll check the menu later. That'll save a click or two. I have to say, FH seems very mouse-centric. I'm a dedicated keyboard user, and avoid picking up that mouse wh...
