Find My Past Hints not automatically clearing - v7

Post by jatclarke999 » 11 Dec 2020 14:40

Hi

I updated my FH to v7 today. Once thing immediately noted is that with FMP hints:

1 - Instead of opening in a side pane, it now opens in default browser
2 - Once all hints have been cleared, the matches icon does not clear automatically

Is there something needs changing in the settings?

TIA John

1 - The external browser is now the default because of problems with the internal Web Search Window for MyHeritage hints. If you have disabled MyHeritage hints then you can probably switch back to the internal window.
See Tools > Preferences > Internet Data Matches.

2 - I'm not sure what the problem is there. If it is persistent and annoying then it may need reporting to Calico Pie.

Hi Mike

Thanks - Yes the upgrade remembered that I had disabled My Heritage, however it defaulted the "Location to Display Matches" to External Web Browser"

Once I set the default back to "Web search Window" this also cleared the icon matching.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

John
