I am about to publish an update to the Export Gedcom File plugin anyway, so thought I'd ask just in case. Have you any general thoughts on unconditionally exporting RP-REPOSITORY metafields as both a labelled Note with the name of the Repository AND a generic Repository link. That does not involve a...

In the Tools > Census Templates... you can choose Census or Electoral Register and the default option for the Fact: setting is to Use the default fact which is chosen in Tools > Options > Census settings and thus cause the 'conflict' you are seeing. However, the other options allow a specific fact t...

After ticking Show Hidden you can use the Fact Set: and Filter: options at the top to refine the list. As a general rule, when FH imports from other products such as TMG, it does not 'invent' new data structures. See the FHUG Knowledge Base Importing to Family Historian for Import from The Master Ge...

Helen, I have looked at this a bit more closely. For most metafields, the labelled Note uses the metafield name and value such as: Author: Mike Tate Date: 2021 I was thinking that since you won't be exporting Repository records then the export of an RP-REPOSITORY metafield could be governed by the l...

FYI: There is no need to post Tools > Fact Types for different Projects, because they are the same for all Projects, apart from the new Project-specific Fact Types that I doubt you have used. Notice that most of the Fact Types are in the TMG Fact Set that has eclipsed the Standard Fact Set. That is ...

The question is why?
With that GEDCOM open in FH can you check the All tab for Jessie.
Are the facts in a natural date order with Birth first and Death last?
If you fully expand the details by double-clicking her name twice, is there anything unusual such as UDF?

Yes, that is very similar to the three HIPO tasks I posted a week ago: i.e. Input data structure specification ~ Processing task to convert the input to output ~ Output data structure specification 1) GEDCOM RM Source Template _STMPLT ~ Synthesise FH Source Template ~ FH Source Template & TID cross-...

See FHUG Knowledge Base Handling Uncategorised Data Fields that explains how to list and bulk delete unwanted UDF.

I have to admit to being mystified as to where Jessie's facts have gone. I can see that her husband Raymond's facts have transferred to Ancestry as his life dates (1915-1981) are shown. Also, the close relatives BMD details are shown. Please open the GEDCOM file that you uploaded to Ancestry using F...

Many of those decisions hinge on whether CP updates FH to allow Citation-specific metafields in Bibliography and Title Formats. If they do, then 1st bullet and 2nd bullet become unnecessary options. In your 1st bullet, the Plugin would create the Bibliography Formats so no manual revamping required....

They are not stored anywhere. You must review them and if they are relevant to your family tree then you must add details to FH in the same way as any other new details that you discover. Use Internet > Internet Data Matches... command, click the Help button, and read all about the process. Please c...

Sorry about that Jan. The not enough memory problem is a recurring theme with FH V7 that did not arise with FH V6. Other users have had similar problems and my prototype version is fixed but not yet published. Please try the attached prototype Export Gedcom File plugin Version 4.4.5 Date 19 Apr 2021...

The clue that the Plugin has done something is that Edit > Undo Plugin Updates is an available option.

Ah! I'd forgotten there were some 'Swap ... ' plugins and was only looking for 'Move ... ' plugins. As far as I can tell, those two both work OK in FH V7 as nothing has changed regarding the Source Citation data structure. Can you provide more details of why you think they do nothing. Maybe the plug...

The important point to understand is that Sentence Templates are derived in two ways. Usually, the default Sentence Template is used as defined by the Tools > Fact Types... command. In that dialogue, select the Fact of interest (say Birth) and click Edit... to see the global default Sentence Templat...

John, I've moved this to the Plugin Discussions forum. If you can identify the specific Plugins by name then I can either fix them or explain what needs to be done. There are several different fixes that are explained in the FHUG Knowledge Base but that is intended for existing Authors so is a bit t...

Curtis, what you describe is exactly what I described in my last reply. I realise it sounds daunting but it is perfectly feasible for a Plugin to sort all that out. One thing to recognise is that many FH users would use Method 1 'splitter' Sources that results in one Source record for every househol...

I think I have found the problem and it will be fixed in the next version of the plugin. Sorry about that. It is caused by a Media record Title that contains a per cent character ( % ) somewhere. The specific one that invokes the error message has %2 in the Title . So open the Records Window on the ...

No, you cannot use a Query with the Export Gedcom File plugin. That is why you need to use the File > Import/Export > Export > GEDCOM File... command first. Did you review the FHUG Knowledge Base advice that I suggested? So the GEDCOM file you uploaded to Ancestry came from the ...\Family Historian ...

You need to sort the Result Set by the Sentence column otherwise the templates may be way down the list.
Hold down the Alt key while you click the Sentence column header to sort the templates to the top.

If there are no Fact specific Sentence Templates then the problem must be elsewhere.

The File > Import/Export > Export > GEDCOM File... command will probably not provide a suitable GEDCOM file. I think you have just reported a problem with the Export Gedcom File plugin in the Plugin Store. You say there that you are exporting to MyHeritage so will use the (MYH) MyHeritage Family Tre...

Sorry, I fooled myself with that experiment of moving the Citation-specific field into the Source record in a Template. It had no Source Citations attached so it was allowed to go ahead. I have repeated the experiment with Source Citations using the Source Template and it sensibly disallows the chan...

Maybe it is worth posting that difference between AS and FH in the Ancestral Sources forum to see what Nick says. What happens if you add those earlier images to FH again? Perhaps they were created by a different process that did not include the internal tags that FH needs for Keywords. Was the Tool...

You will probably get a much better image with the scanner and the scanner software package on your PC will probably have rotation and crop options and other enhancement tools. See the FHUG Knowledge Base Common Image Problems . Photo Orientation in Family Historian 7 talks about photo images but do...

The one thing that has not changed is FH V6.2.7! What has changed is the Media images and therefore the internal data tags may be different. So for these types of comparative experiments, it is important to add exactly the same image in different ways. i.e. Add it using AS and then add it again just...
