* Find Duplicate Individuals Version 2.3+

[tatewise]

That is very odd, and appears to be caused by missing Record Id data in the Non-Duplicates file.
I can only reproduce that error if I manually edit the Find Duplicate Individuals.nondups file.

What is the history of that file in the reduced dataset project?

Hi Mike,
I copied my entire project (using Copy Project).
Attached a flag to everyone not in pool 1, then used split tree helper to removed the records without the flag. I have not modified the original record ID's in any way (Should I try renumbering them?)
There is a .nondups file of 3kb in the folder, but there don't appear to be any records in it, and I can't add to it as I get an error message.

The contents of the existing .nondups file are:

That .nondups file is the problem.
The -- Table: {2} and -- Table: {3} entries should look similar to -- Table: {4} and -- Table: {5}.
Delete that .nondups file to fix the problem.

What is in the .nondups file of the Project you copied from?
Does that Project run the Plugin Omit Non-Duplicates tab and Show the previous Result Set OK?

Renumbering Records will not help.

Copy Project will copy the Plugin Data folder and its Find Duplicate Individuals files, but I do not understand how it would corrupt the .nondups file like that.
Try repeating the Copy Project and check the copied  .nondups file before and after running the Plugin.

Hi Mike,
I think FH froze just after running the plugin (I am having problems with my XP machine). That was likely the cause of the corruption.
I have deleted all the plugin data files.
I have now re-run the plugin and all is OK.

The Find Duplicate Individuals Version 3.0 is available from the FH Plugin Store.

It has comprehensive Help & Advice pages.

The option to use the FH Named List of Non-Duplicates has been removed.
The Erase the entire Non-Duplicates list button has a confirmation popup to avoid accidental erasure.
If no duplicates are found, it presents a popup message instead of an empty Result Set.
An Erase Soundex Cache button has been added, to allow the cache to be purged of Names no longer in the database.
