Re: Using an External Editor

I see wavy lines for : functions as when I set up the definitions file I could not quite work out how to avoid the error on the fields defined using NewItemPtr. The definition is probably not quite right. e.g image.png My Workspace is simply { "folders": [ { "path": "."...

Do the first diagram and then right click and select Insert Diagram and select the one you want, you can then save the result as a chart using Diagram>Save as from the menu.

Re: Colour Coding Infant Deaths

The best place to look for help on Functions in the Family Historian Help in the Advanced section.

Code: Select all

=IsTrue(Exists(%INDI.DEAT.DATE%) and (Number(%INDI.DEAT.DATE:AGE_AT%) < 1))
The above code will colour the box if there is a death date and the computed age at death was less than one.

Re: Why has my information gone public?

When you search for matches, Family Historian uploads some of the data to compare. It does not permanently upload the information. Are you sure you are not looking at the information from your DB which is used to compare to records offered. This page explains in detail how the matching works. https:...

Re: After upgrade questions

Quick answer to the restore is NO. If the install changed anything it needed to, so restoring the old ones is more likely to harm than good.

Re: Bulk importing of Sources from excel

I don't think the standard CSV import plugin can take the file so you will probably have to write your own plugin, but you could experiment with it to see and perhaps use it as a base.

Re: Deleting pointers in a loop

The store them up and do at the end is the way I work too. Mainly because if you delete in-line you can lose your point in the loop. This is especially true if what you are deleting may have a branch below it. If you are deleting in-line you need to be sure you have read the next field, which will n...

Re: Census indexing by year

Well you told it to use year x so I am not surprised.

You need to build the string it will not magically spot you mean x is a variable.

Re: Selection of records for charts

Don't forget you can hide boxes on any diagram, by using a Query to select the boxes and then hide selected boxes.

You can also set up a text scheme which can leave "private" individuals boxes there but hide all the contents.
