2.2.3 Released

Post by admin » 26 Feb 2004 17:35

This includes fixes the dual monitor problem with 2.2.1 plus
  • You now have the option to exclude any picture (linked to an Individual, Family or Source record) from either diagrams or reports or both. This option can be set from either the Multimedia Window or from the Objects tab of the Property Dialog.
  • You can now override the caption for a picture in a report by using a note instead. The option to do this, and the note itself, can both be set from either the Multimedia Window or from the Objects tab of the Property Dialog.
  • You can include private notes in these note captions. An option in the Report Options dialog box (Picture tab) allows you to specify whether private notes should be included when notes are used as captions.
  • The option to get Family Historian to automatically keep events and attributes in chronological order now applies to all tabs of the Property Dialog, except the 'All' tab.
  • There is now a 'Close Dialog After Add' check box on the 'Add Event/Attribute' dialog - the one that comes up when you add an event or attribute in the Events tab of the Property Dialog. By unchecking this you can add multiple events/attributes much more quickly.
  • By default, a spouse's place of death is now shown in the Main tab of the Property Dialog instead of the first spouse note.
  • When showing family records as linked records in the Records Window, the default now is that record Ids are not shown for family records, unless the user has specifically opted to do this in Record Window Options.
  • When you see a link to a record in the All tab of the Properties Dialog you can now 'navigate' to that record (ie. display it in the Property Dialog) by simply double-clicking on the linked record.
  • If you type in a record name or record id in the Records Window, the found record is now displayed in the 3rd row within the window, rather than near the bottom of the window as before.
  • Family Historian no longer prompts you to do a backup if you haven't saved any changes to the current file.
  • Family Historian now remembers the 3 most recent sorts, so that when you click on a column it uses the previous 2 sorts as 'sub-sorts'. This applies not just to the Records Window, but to any records list where sorting is allowed.
  • The record Id is now displayed after the record name in the Property Dialog caption.
  • When you insert pictures, documents and other multimedia into your file, Family Historian will now automatically generate a title for the new Multimedia Object record(s), using the file name.
  • With Reports such as Individual Summary Report and Family Group Sheet, you now have the option (set by default) to show instance numbers for events/attributes that occur more than once. Make it easier to see which instance an item in the Additional Notes section refers to.
  • For the purposes of calculating relationships, Family Historian used to treat all blood relationships as closer than all non-blood relationships. Which meant that if you married your cousin, she would be listed as your cousin first and your spouse second. That did not accord with most people's intutitions. Family Historian now uses a more sophisticated approach giving more intuitive results.

FH just keeps getting better and better. I am still finding facilities which I did not know existed but which are most practical and useful. Thankyou very much. I look forward to playing with 2.2.3.

Having recently upgraded To FH I have found it wonderful. The only thing that irritated me slightly was when I typed in a name and then had to move it further up the screen to see all the information.
I am glad to say this has been fixed.
Thank you again for a superb package.

The usual set of significant improvements. I look forward to exploring them.
It is so nice to get free upgrades, after my previous genealogy program which offered upgrades at considerable cost.
