Hi Mike The Reiflan Tree is now the default project in the Project Window. The DESKTOP-OE15TU3 file has been deleted and does not appear in either Project Window. The Research Notes have been sorted-I did not use the "Apply" Button before saving. File-On-Demand has been turned off in the OneDrive se...

Thanks Mike

I will have a look in the morning (our time) and get back to you with what I find.

Hi Mike

Part 3

Sorry I hit the Submit button to early.

I have added a screenshot of an update OneDrive is doing on the Laptop.

When writing these three posts I am ensuring that FH is only open on one machine at a time although I have not input additional data into each.

Thanks
Philip

Hi Mike

Part 2

Hi Mike I am confused as well – but that is not hard!! To open my Project, I click on the FH7 icon which opens the Project Window then click on Reiflan Tree. I attached screenshots of the two Project Windows last night with the different times. When the two screenshots were taken, I had not clicked ...

Hi Mike I have tried doing the test you mentioned and altered a Research Note on the Laptop but it has not shown up 5 hours later on the Desktop. In the Project Window on FH, on the Laptop, it is saying the Current Project is "None" and the last update was 29.5.23 @ 16.20. In the Project Window on F...

Hello again

Attached are the settings related to the Laptop.

Philip

Mike As far as I can see both computers use the same OneDrive folder for Project and Media files. I have attached screen shots to compare the settings on the Desktop and Laptop. I will not use the Sample Project to practice Syncing. I can confirm that both computers are using Version V7.0.20. I only...

Thanks Mike.

It is a new tree being started from scratch. I have an adopted family.

Good afternoon I am currently running FH7 V7.0.20 with my media and data located at C:\Users\fagan\OneDrive\PERSONAL INFORMATION\Documents\Family Historian Projects\Reiflan Tree\Reiflan Tree.fh_data\Media. My question is - when I establish a new project does the program automatically establish a new...

Good afternoon. I am currently running FH7 V7.0.20 and have me data and media located at C:\Users\fagan\OneDrive\PERSONAL INFORMATION\Documents\Family Historian Projects\Reiflan Tree\Reiflan Tree.fh_data\Media. My question what is is the maximum number of characters I can use in a file name? I am tr...

Good afternoon This problem is ongoing – I hope someone can assist. I wish to sync my FH7 Date and Media between my Desktop and Laptop computers. Currently I have version 7.0.20 of FH7 installed on my Desktop computer with my Data and Media located at C:\Users\fagan\OneDrive\PERSONAL INFORMATION\Doc...

Hello Mike Sorry to take so long to get back to you regarding your last post of 21.4.2023. Regarding my first question, is there any problems with having all my FH media in the location mentioned for ease of access? I understand your answers to the second two questions. From our previous discussions...

Hi Mike I have now got all my Media items in the folder “ C:\User\fagan\Onedrive\PERSONAL INFORMATION\Documents\Family Historian Projects\Reiflan Tree\Reiflan Tree._data\Media”. I have completed a “Tools - External File Links - Auto Repair” and all the media is linked. Some file names needed to be a...

Hi Mike I hope you are enjoying Easter. I am still sorting through the media and have about 25 media in a file "Media\". I can't find that file anywhere. Where would I find that path? The other files have been located and moved to the correct file C:\User\fagan\Onedrive...........Reiflan Tree.fh-dat...

Thanks Mike

I will let you know the outcome after I have completed the process.

Philip

Mike

Can I move the files within the Media folder?

Can I rename the files in the Media folder or should any renaming be done in FH after using Auto Repair?

I will backup to a USB before doing the above processes.

Philip

Mike It was my intention to Move the photos to the Media file but I did not have that option in File Explorer. The media has been deleted from it's original location so that once I delete duplicates all should be in order. I will then back the media items to a stick before going into FH. I believe t...

Hi Mike

I have moved all my media to the media file from C/User/Fagan/Dropbox.... and E Drive (USB Stick). I think I have a large number of duplicate files (about 160). Do I need to delete any duplicate files before going to Tools/External File Links and doing an Auto Repair?

Philip

Hi Mike File > Project Window... has its Location: set to MyDocuments\Family Historian Projects. That is correct. Tools > External File Links... says its Current Project Folder: is C:\Users\fagan\OneDrive\PERSONAL INFORMATION\Documents\Family Historian Projects\ReiflanTree - That is correct Tools > ...

Mike The reason I suggested reinstalling FH7 was to retrieve the Media file which I can't find on the computer. I could have inadvertently deleted the file when "tidying up" my files. I have a complete copy of my media files backed up at C/User/fagan/OneDrive/FAMILY TREE/Backups/Media. Note from the...

Mike I have been looking at the Tools>External Files and the Media List and it looks like my Media is all over the place. Would I be better to re-process all my Media into the one folder C:\Users\fagan\OneDrive\PERSONAL INFORMATION\Documents\Family Historian Projects\ReiflanTree\Reiflan Tree.fh_date...

Hi Mike I have been busy for the past few days and have not had time to devote to Family Historian. I have only been running FH on one computer for the past three month because my laptop failed. All the screenshots I have sent since our posts commenced have been from same computer. In the future I w...
