Opening FH5 on last viewed record?

Hi

In other products I've used, such as Legacy, and The Master Genealogist, when I close the application, the next time I re-start it, be it immediatley or the next day etc, it opens on the last viewed record/person

FH doesn't seem to do that, and always opens on the default person (in my case that's me) and is irritating!
I find the ability to open at the last person very useful.

Am I missing something?
Thanks

No, that is how FH works.
But you can change the file root, which determines the person that opens.

OK - changing file root isn't a substitute for re-opening with the last person though.

Is there a method of requesting an enhancement to options, to have a toggle switch for this maybe?

Yes, you can add your request to the Wish List Requests and eventually it may be added to the Wish List itself.

You can also E-mail Calico Pie Support at support@family-historian.co.uk.

I usually click on the column called 'Updated' in the records window, which brings the last person I was working on to the top.
