I have also received 7.0.1.2 to confirm a fix for crossing lines being superimposed and communicating lines crossing in front of and behind boxes in diagrams.

Re: 1939 Register

However although it does not say so specifically, this looks like it does not apply to known deaths (although you can apply for individual ones to be opened). In the entry I refer to above, re submitting a request to open records, entries for my mother who died in 1999, one uncle who died in 1992 a...

Re: Question marks appearing in text

Coincidentally I found the same in a record note yesterday. It was information that I had copied and pasted from a website some time ago, but I'm pretty sure that it did not include the question marks when displayed in FH6. I've only noticed it since moving to FH7. I found that deleting the "?" symb...

Re: 1939 Register

This is the description of the register on the National Archives site. Sections 9 and 10 relate to closed records and requesting information from them.

Re: 1939 Register

I believe that you can request the opening of a closed record through the National Archives if you are a close relative of the person who's record is redacted, on payment of a fee and production of required supporting evidence. FMP say that they also offer the same service free to subscribers on sub...

Re: possible new item for wish list

If you download FH7 from Calico Pie's website, 7.0.1.1 is the version that is now offered. Running the installer automatically detects the original version of FH7 and updates it. It could be that CP have not automatically offered it as an update to the original version because they want to see if an...

Re: FH7 Full backup very slow

I can't say that I noticed any appreciable difference between FH6.2 and FH7 backup times, although I didn't actually time them. I've just done a full FH7 project backup to local disk at 47 seconds for 912MB/910 files. It's quite an old PC with two WD SATA drives that I copied across to.

Re: Where Used Record Links v1.4 and Research Notes

Mike,

I've found another research note link that's not being shown with a preceding "@" character in WURL v1.5

"_RNOT.TEXT.SOUR" - created by citing an existing source from the Add Source Citation button drop down menu in the note window toolbar.

Sorry!

Re: No searchable text in PDF reports

I think that the formatting as an image is happening within FH, before the data is passed to the Nova PDF driver, since I've found that reports are printed as images in other PDF drivers that are installed on my PC, such as the CutePDF, Foxit and Quicken drivers. I normally print to CutePDF and noth...

Re: Where Used Record Links 1.4

Ron, if you select a record or range or records from the records tab before running the plugin, it assumes the selected records are the ones you are asking it to check, so you shouldn't see the prompt if you have previously unticked it. But if you run it without having first selected any records, it...

Re: V7 PDF creation very slow, creating huge files

I hadn't realised any of this until I read this thread. I'm running FH7 on a Win 8.1 64-bit PC with 16GB of RAM, and I have several different programs that all want to install and use their own PDF printer driver, so I tend to use CutePDF for all of them, including FH. I just tried printing a 37 pag...

Re: Where Used Record Links v1.4 and Research Notes

Mike,

The @ symbol or a similar "unique" prefix would be my preference, to make them more obvious as you say.

I'm a relatively new FH user though, so I'll leave it to you to do whatever you think is best ;)

Thank you for solving it so quickly!

I'm not sure whether this is because I'm doing something wrong, or because the Where Used Record Links plugin doesn't support this particular scenario.

Re: Odd display at bottom of citation window

Mine looks like this. I can't get the Source media and Citation media text to appear to the left of the buttons at all. If I narrow the citation window either from the left or the right side, the right hand side of the Data Entry Assistant button is progressively cropped.
