As I'm still a novice with FH I guess the only way to see if the NAS route suits the way I work is to try it so I'll need to play about a bit.

As a side question is there a way to remove unwanted ged files from the File / Gedcom File Tasks menu ?

Thanks

Hi On the question of synchronizing I assume that using a NAS drive would in theory work the same as an cloud service such as Dropbox. I haven't tried it yet, but my wife and I use the same project at separate times on different laptops. If either of us does a full backup to the NAS when we close do...

Thanks Mike Worked perfectly first time, finding in excess of 9k files. I then modified it slightly by sorting the Multimedia Object in ascending order which then reported everything in named person order. This is helpful as the way I store my data is to have a folder for each person in my project a...

Hi Importing from FTM 2017 all my media is given the Keyword 'Picture' and Format 'jpg' even if the file is actually pdf or doc and if I double click to open it the response is 'Unable to load Object.

You mention FTM 2019 supporting Gedcom 5.5.1. I did ask the question earlier whether importing from FTM 2017 or...

Hi Just a question about the Exception Report generated when I load my FTM Gedcom file into FH 7 (Trial). I have thousands of 'INFO ONLY: Detected & fixed invalid use of EVEN (event) tag:' entries. The majority relate to text that is present in the 'Description' field (as in Date / Place / Descripti...

Hi

Thanks for the quick replies and advice.

As I'm more confident with the stability of the 2017 version I'll give that a go first.

Hi I am thinking of moving to Family Historian 7 after many years using Family Tree Maker. No doubt it will be a steep learning curve and I will have many questions. I am currently tidying my existing media files before exporting the Gedcom file and the following query came to mind. Is there any adv...
