Toggle button in options to open FH on last person

Post by neil40 » 23 Apr 2012 21:28

Hi

I am used to opening other Genealogy programs (the main 3 I have used are MyHeritage Family Tree Builder, The Master Genealogist and Legacy) with the last person viewed/edited.

This I find most useful as a reminder of who I was last working on.
With Family Historian, if I left it for several days/weeks I would have no clue as to who that was, as it always opens at the Root person.

A Toggle in options would be very nice, so that those who prefer this way of working could do so, and those who prefer the current, could also continue as is.

Personally, being used to previous behaviour (as above), I find this very frustrating.

By clicking on the UPDATED column, the last person worked on is at the top of the list. I do that a lot as I manually toggle between that and people in name order.

Fails dismally mind if you do a Tools > Re-Order Out Of Sequence Events.
