* Ancestral Sources and plug-ins

[NickWalker]

When I was testing Ancestral Sources v2, at Jane's request I included the parameters which I have now learned are to allow the plug-in system to open a specified file, source type and select an individual.

Can you think of any other things I could include in Ancestral Sources to help to integrate via plug-ins?

One idea I had was a parameter to tell Ancestral Sources to close immediately after a new entry is saved. In this way you could select an individual in Family Historian, run the plugin to add, for example, a baptism entry for them in Ancestral Sources, and then it would be saved and closed and you would be back in Family Historian again. Might be useful for those who don't have a massive file to load in. e.g. I wondered if a 'close after saving' tickbox could be included on Mike's new plug-in?

Ideas for A.S. Plugin interface:

Invoke Add Images to Existing Sources option.
I know you can do this in FH but A.S. offers an alternative approach.

Invoke Census Tools such as Date Check and Flag Check.

There is no problem in adding explanatory Text, Radio Buttons, etc, to the Plugin GUI using IUP.
