It seems that V5.3 was never fully released, which explains why V5.2 says it is the latest.
Just install V5.3 over the existing installation.

I would not assume or hope for anything.
Post a support ticket with references to appropriate Forum threads and see what CP say.
If they are in the process of making improvements they might tell you.

One option that works throughout Windows is the Ease of Access Mouse Keys. Click Start > Settings > Ease of Access > Mouse or Windows key + I and type Mouse Keys You then use keypad buttons to act as mouse movements. In many dialogues, you can repeatedly use the Tab key to change focus through boxes...

The answer is similar to that for your earlier posting 10766|FORMAT DIAGRAMS & SAVE . You need to add a Record Flag called say Dead End to those Individuals . Then in the Diagram > Options > Boxes tab use << Add Condition > Record Flag for that Dead End flag. Choose the Box Feature of Box Line and s...

I've quickly reviewed the GedExplorer help, but it is not explicit enough to come to any firm conclusions. Who knows what unimportant information it does not support. It does not even show detailed screenshots, only BMD years. I suspect it may not support Media at all if you copy the internal FH GED...

According to fhugdownloads:contents:utility_gedexplorer|> Utility ~ GedExplorer and reading between the lines of the previous postings, it opens the internal Project GEDCOM file even if encoded in the default UTF-16 Unicode format. Although it is not clear whether it supports extensions such as Fact...

Altering the INDI position withing the GEDCOM file is potentially dangerous unless it was automated with say a Plugin.
Contrary to what Jane said, the INDI records do NOT go back into number order when saved, even if the data is edited.

If any of you guys want Calico Pie to improve matters then I recommend you raise support tickets with them, remind them of their commitment to Crossover/Wine, and provide them with specific evidence of the problems you have encountered. I doubt if they are experimenting with as many flavours of Linu...

As advised in Knowledge Base > Work With Record Identifiers if you renumber Individual Record Id then it is highly likely that any saved Family Historian Charts will be rendered useless because they are linked to records by Record Id.

"wonder why the double v and h box." The documentation clearly says that only one child interface element is allowed. All other interface elements must be encapsulated within that one child element. Remember an interface element is different from the attributes such as title and size . So in your or...

This worked perfectly for me! What did you do?

Try iup.vbox{ sfl; iup.hbox{fn_keys} },

The Re-order Out-of-Sequence Data command is multi-purpose with various options to cater for various user needs. It does not know that you have spotted some Children are out of order. Also, there may be others you have not spotted. So, first of all, it asks which Items to Check ~ Spouses, Children, ...

Backup commands are intended for just that purpose ~ to backup data that can be restored into the original program . Backups are NOT intended for exporting to other programs on other computers. Even a backup from FH V6 will probably not restore all the data into FH V5 or any earlier version. As we ...

John's suggestion to inhibit the PDF viewer is a good idea, just to see what happens. In my screenshot, see the top left dialogue and under After save action untick Open PDF with default viewer . John, can you please explain your comment that "2 programs are trying to open the report at the same tim...

This is associated with the often repeated discussion about what to put in the Place and Address fields. It is for reasons such as you posted (and others) that some users have abandoned the Address field and put all the details in the Place field because it offers more options. However, assuming you...

Yes, there are options on the Diagram > Insert into Diagram menu and Text Box adds a box similar to many word-processors. Having drawn the box, and while it is selected, either right-click it or use Diagram command and choose Format . There are many options on four tabs that let you design titles, f...

My gut feeling is that it is an installation problem of some sort. When you install FH do you ensure no other applications are running, and right-click the downloaded FH V6.2.7 installation file and choose Run as administrator even though you are signed in to an Administrator account. It may even be...

Yes, I'd forgotten that printer icon appears when the Family Historian PDF 'printer' is running. But your physical printer should not be involved at all. When you use the Save Report As > PDF File option, the screen should look like that shown below. Note that the Printer: is Family Historian PDF an...

The Re-order Out-of-Sequence Data command in the Tools menu will work as long as the Individual records have BMD dates. Otherwise, you must reorder them in the parent's Property Box Main tab using the up/down arrows. See how_to:sorting_children|> Sorting Children, Spouses & Facts into Order for full...

The Code Page 1252 characters are shown below:

No, as you say, all the Other pictures are grouped together.
The only way to associate them with a particular Fact would be to add a suitable caption.

That does not look like an Avast error message. It just looks like PDF Viewer Plus has a problem opening the file. If you use Windows File Explorer does that PDF file exist? Can it be opened by another PDF viewer such as Adobe Acrobat which is almost certainly installed? I think you are saying that ...

Yes, but you did not explain where you want them displayed. The feature has been available since FH V4. There is a video tutorial at how_to:v4:adding_multimedia_to_a_fact|> Adding Multimedia to a Fact but it does not quite match the features in FH V6 . You have to click the Show Media button on the ...

I can't help thinking there must be some other underlying problem, but don't know what. My FH V6.2.7 has run happily for years with Avast Free Antivirus on Windows 10 Home (currently v1909). My Avast has no Exceptions for FH at all. Are you saying yours are needed to let FH start? Its Menu > About v...
