I hate even mentioning a problem/enhancement request on this plugin, it's really so amazing and helpful, but I haven't seen any discussion of this yet, so thought I'd bring it up. Fact flags being a new feature, I'm sure not too many people use them all that much, but this will probably change. I think enhancing the way they're handled would be a great thing.

The plugin places all fact flags in the fact note, and places them at the beginning or end depending on the selection in "Label Set A". This works beautifully and preserves the information in a way that can be used by the destination program (TNG in my case).


The internal FH export provides more control, however, allowing the user to exclude facts entirely from the export, based on the fact flag.


I would very much like to be able to exclude private and rejected facts from any gedcom export, others might want to include the rejected facts for whatever reason, etc. The ability to control this at the moment of export is really great. Would love to see this added to the plugin.

For now, I only have a few private facts so manually deleting them from TNG is not a big deal, but it does mean that, for now, I'm holding myself back from using this feature.

Just thought I'd make the suggestion.

Thanks SO much for this plugin. It really saves my bacon!

Leslie, it has been mentioned before, and it is on my back-burner of things-to-do list.
I have added the [[private]] Text Option, and the Rich Text Formatting option, so maybe Fact Flags are next, but it will make the Basic Options tab extremely busy and feels like I am repeating all the FH built-in options.
In the meantime use the ... > Export > GEDCOM File... command beforehand as explained in the plugin Help & Advice page: https://pluginstore.family-historian.co ... edcom-file and the Knowledge Base Exporting a Family Tree with/without Media.

I don't see myself ever doing double exports as a part of a standard procedure. I use the Export GEDCOM plugin as the alternative to the FH standard one, not a supplement, so for now I'll just delete the private facts on TNG afterwards.

Thanks for the prompt response, and the excellent plugin!
