Importing from another genealogy program? This is the place to ask. Questions about Exporting should go in the Exporting sub-forum of the General Usage forum.

Roots Magic & Source Templates

Post by kevync1985 » 22 Mar 2023 18:41

Hi

Does FH import unused Source Templates from RootsMagic? Or only templates/sources currently attached to a person/fact?

thanks!

As you may know, RM includes full details of all the standard Source Templates (all 400+ of them!) in each and every data file. This differs from FH, where standard Template design is recorded once in a system file and made available to projects on demand.

FH imports only the details it needs to display the project data. This means that unused templates are left behind, as are some minor cosmetic details relating to the used templates.

This is a deliberate design choice.
