it stop's when it is about 33% and i can click on the button to go futher, but it wont go further.

sorry if it looks like a dub messega, but with FH7 i cannot get it exported to

I think I have found the problem and it will be fixed in the next version of the plugin. Sorry about that.

It is caused by a Media record Title that contains a per cent character (%) somewhere.
The specific one that invokes the error message has %2 in the Title.
So open the Records Window on the Media tab and enter % in the Title Filter box at the top.
That should list the offending Title(s) that you can edit to eliminate the % character(s) so the Plugin will work

BTW: Please see Export Gedcom File for (MYH) MyHeritage Family Tree Builder for useful advice.

that give me already something,
there was 1 file with a %, but now i get

not enough memory error

Jan Bullee

Sorry about that Jan. The not enough memory problem is a recurring theme with FH V7 that did not arise with FH V6.
Other users have had similar problems and my prototype version is fixed but not yet published.

Please try the attached prototype Export Gedcom File plugin Version 4.4.5 Date 19 Apr 2021 in a ZIP file.
After downloading, right-click it and use Extract All... to get the raw plugin file that can be double-clicked to import to FH.
[ EDIT: Attachment delete as in Plugin Store. ]

again thanx,
