Re: Batch change media image extensions

Does anyone have any comments on the prototype plugin version 3.9.3 before I publish it in the Plugin Store?

Re: Potential Probate Plugin

You can post plugins in forums but now must use shared links to cloud storage such as OneDrive or Google Drive.
IMO unsupported prototype plugins should not be published in the Plugin Store.

Re: Essentials Templates Advice

I think Gary is referring to Generic Source Records and the citation Footnote/Bibliography formats that are defined in Tools > Preferences... > Sources > Generic Source Formats... > View Format.

Yes, AS supports those Generic features.

Re: Right click options

I'm not sure what that saves. As well as the Record(s), you also have to select the Named List. With the Named List pane open, a List selected, and Record(s) selected, there is the Add to Current List button in the toolbar, so it is not necessary to use the Edit menu. You can also drag the selected ...

Re: Citing English Census

Gary, I've lost track of the purpose of your OP.
There you said you wanted to "store a single copy for the image of each census page".
But now it seems you cannot do that because "the filed information needs to be person-based".

Re: Importing charts into a word document

To be clear, "select Diagram" means select the Diagram menubar option.
i.e Select Diagram > Save Diagram As... > Enhanced Metafile (emf)

Also, remember that the diagram/chart must be displayed in FH for the Diagram menu to appear.

Multiple Media Records can link to the same Media file if required. The Media Record Title does not have to be the same as the Source Record Title. Multi...

Re: Adding Media files.

Adrian, it is interesting that you don't seem to consider capturing source record details via AS as Source-driven data entry, which is what it is. In AS you record all the source document details first and then AS creates the Facts. You don't create the Facts first and then use AS to add the Source ...

Gary, FH is quite tolerant of date input formats and will recognise many variants. When a month's name is included then the order of the day and month can be either way round. Everybody and FH has a problem interpreting dates such as 3/8/2024, 3rd of Aug or 8th of Mar? That is when FH uses the Prefe...
