Delete some gedcom files Listed in Gedcom File Tasks

There are several copies of my gedcom listed there with various numbers of individuals in the copies. Because of an error I found in one that had the most individuals, I have renamed the gedcom that has corrected that error so will only be opening that one. Want to get rid of the 5 others that are l...

Re: Upgrading to Windows 10 or not

Thanks for your input on new computer needed or not. The suggestion not to buy a new one from one of my children was that Norton running all the time is the issue of runs SLOW - get rid of Norton and see if that gets it to run faster. Haven't tried that yet. Your question re why I didn't like 7 - it...

Upgrading to Windows 10 or not

:roll: I have Windows 10 on a laptop that I use very rarely. I really don't like 10 but now am going to bite the bullet and install it on ?some? computer as I anticipate possibly installing Windows 11 upgrade that is already here.

Line for Nicknames - order for sources

I updated to V7 from V6.27 but decided that V7 did not work for my method of research and entering data. I was successful in restoring V6.27 with the patience and excellent instruction from Tatewise - thanks again. Two things did not seem to return as previously shown. One: there was a line below bu...

Re: Uninstall Version 7 and revert to Version 6

Glad to be back with an update. I successfully uninstalled V7 and reinstalled V6, was able to get the upgrade to V6.2.7. The program opened and already had the data that I had put into V7 for the short time I used it. Much, but not all, of the Media is also there but that is something that I will ha...

Am hoping to get this done soon as I am not doing any research at the moment as I'm assuming nothing currently done in V7 would survive the transfer. I have the steps that Mike suggest...

Re: Uninstall Version 7 and revert to Version 6

This is where I am with setting up to uninstall V7 and reinstall V6. In rechecking my backup files, I did not do any research work from my last small V6 backup on Dec. 22 until my install of V7 on Jan 11th. After Jan 11 there were only 5 backups in V7 - and I don't believe too much was added to the ...

Re: Uninstall Version 7 and revert to Version 6

Mike, I was encouraged to see the Export Gedcom File plug in does a good job of converting back to V6. I didn't do any custom settings that I recall - have had V6 for quite some time - so that should not be an issue for me. I am frankly petrified to do this uninstall as I have 20 years of research a...

Re: ATTN Users of Mike Tate's "Order Facts by Sort Date" plugin

I'm really curious about Mike Tate's remark saying he might not switch to V.7. Since most of us regard Mike as the head guru answering all our questions about Family Historian, I'm surprised that he would not have been the first to upgrade to V.7. I've said in a previous post that I will be going ba...

I'm sad to say that while I was looking forward to the new Version 7, purchased and installed it but now find that it really doesn't fit the way I prefer to add sources, notes, etc. So my question is how do I uninstall it and get back to the last Version 6 without losing the data that I have entered...

Will Version 7 be available on a CD

I have purchased the Version 7 but had no choice as to a download or a CD. Will it become available on a CD? Or, can I copy it to a CD. I prefer that I have one rather than possibly having to install it again by another download.

Thanks.
