Finally, something I can beat you on Mike -- I started on Windows 3.0!

Alan, there's some advice at Knowledge Base > Photo Orientation

I retired Genquiry a long time ago, but you could try the Research Planner plugin. The plugin is available from the plugin store and there's an overview here:

Or use something from the Penlight library

For users who are not logged in, the default is UTC. Registered users choose their time zone at registration and can amend it in their Board Preferences thereafter.

We have members from across the globe including Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and various European countries as well as the UK -- so hard to pick a default.

I'd back it up first but yes, I suspect it is.

How many .ged files are in the relevant folder?

I'd add an unknown daughter to the Salt family, add a Neville husband without a forename to that unknown daughter, and make the granddaughter a child of that couple. All with copious notes explaining why. Then when you track down her parents,you just edit the relevant individuals -- or merge the Sal...

Pleased it's sorted -- and as long as you're finding Multifact useful, I'm happy.

Did you just delete the file? Or did you delete the fact set from within FH (which would also have updated the index file for fact sets which is at C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Historian\Fact Types\Standard\GroupIndex.fhdata?

Colin, have you made any changes to fact definitions?

Are you able to run the plugin in debug mode, add a breakpoint at line 1800 (it should only go there a few times and tell me what the value of filename is just before the error message?

Thanks for the feedback, Colon.

The Tasks Created pane is closed by default for those people who have very small screens -- it allows them to maximise the area available for data entry. In a future release, I'll think about how I can make it more obvious.

If you've been using it to enter data, what Gedcom file have you specified to save the data? You don't have to use FH with AS but you do have to specify a Gedcom file for AS to function. a unitary, standalone package Have you tried FH? There's a trial download of FH available at https://www.family-h...

I'm not aware of any alternatives, currently. When you say 'trying to use it as a database for the family records I've so far been able to accumulate' what exactly are you expecting of it? It does no data storage of its own; it provides a data-entry front end to Family Historian for the most commonl...

Version 1.9.1 is now in the plugin store, and addresses this problem.

Mike, I've used your code -- thanks.

Mike, thanks -- I'm a bit concerned about inserting text that might also occur naturally (e.g. in an Auto-note or a template sentence -- might be unlikely but 'users do strange things'! I shall keep thinking.

Colin, I know there's no pressure but I'm very glad you've surfaced the problem -- thank you.

No -- I rebuilt from scratch and reinstated all my customisations manually; there aren't that many of them -- custom facts sets, queries and reports (pulled off a nightly backup of the whole PC). I tend to run with everything else at installation settings until something annoys me afresh and I fix i...

The PC I'm typing on was completely wiped and rebuilt a couple of months ago and only had FH V6.2 and the update to 6.2.7 installed... so I only acquired those lines in the installation process. One possibility is, I suppose, that Colin copied the standard.fhf file from C:\Program Files (x86)\Family...

So how have my files, and the files of everyone who tested or used the plugin before Colin, acquired the Hidden lines? I haven't adjusted the Hidden settings for all those facts, nor do I suspect the others users have done so.

Do your 'active' fact set files have the lines present of missing?

That's odd -- Standard.fhf is delivered when FH is installed, with the 'Hidden' lines in place -- even the old V1 file which isn't used has them in place. And there isn't any way within FH to remove the 'Hidden' lines -- you can only toggle them off and on. Likewise, if you create a custom fact set,...

Just a though, Colin -- you are running the latest version downloaded from the Plugin store, aren't you?

Mike, the Progress bat code shouldn't be doing anything because the data set in question is too small for the progress bar to be triggered... In the New Year, I'm going to provide Colin with a version without the progress bar to see if it makes any difference.

No, you won't lose anything, but taking a backup first (belt and braces) is something I'd always recommend.
