Mike, most of the people involved are residents, so it's accurate but not specific.

Has anyone suggested Unrelated yet (as in no known Grimbarian relatives identified yet)?

You could use that useful catch-all: others.

Tongue firmly in cheek: sojourner.

Mike, I only want the Sources for text items that have sources -- if the text item does not have a source (either because one isn't specified, or because one isn't allowed), I don't want its parent's source -- that isn't relevant.

The #RN could be in any text field, including Fact note, Note record, Local note for an individual, Place note -- some of which can have sources, some of which (e.g. Place Note) can't. I want to return a ptr item for the Source for the text field if one exists, and a ptr item for the Repository for ...

Can I ask for a new pair of eyes on some code please? I've been staring at it so long I'm missing the obvious! The code below is correctly finding items containing a particular text string, but it is not finding the associated first source and linked repository pointers (where these exist). No doubt...

Alternatively:

Tools menu item > Preferences > general > Timelines Settings (button at bottom left). Turn off the ones you don't want or turn them all off.

Some years ago, I wrote some code to splice elements from two different website generators into a set of output files organised/reordered in a way that made sense to me (also with some logic about including and excluding elements). It was a three-pass process: generate website A; generate website B;...

Hadn't though of using Calibre -- it's an excellent suggestion.

I think Jane meant that you can define a website including the report wanted, and will end up with one html file per individual. No plugins involved. And if you have the right software, you can create pdf files in bulk from html files... (I won't recommend the programme I use because ti wasn't cheap).

There's advice on this at Knowledge Base > Photo Orientation

Unfortunately, only Immigration and Emigration facts can have two places.

Davidf, you're only getting older at the same rate as the rest of us.

Just a pity that the destination is closer for some of us.

Have you seen Knowledge Base > Family Historian V6 & Ancestral Sources V5 on Crossover, PlayOnLinux/Mac & Wine

Mike, unless Jane is going to rewrite standard themes (which she should not even consider) what we see is what we get.

John, how do you launch AS? There are two methods: one uses a plugin (Ancestral Sources Data Entry) and one launches it just like any other programme from e.g. you Start menu?

I have two Close buttons: Confirm and Cancel (which resets the form to the values when it was invoked before exiting). Re catch-22: An empty field is invalid only when the Confirm button is pressed, otherwise it is assumed to be a point on a journey to a valid field. I also use the .Active extensive...

I do much the same, passing parameters in a table.

Unfortunately, in this case the boiler plate is not for simple iup fields, it's for a whole sub-system of config management...

I shall work it out. At least I know I haven't overlooked a mechanism I could explore.

I can use the close_cb callback, but that will involve changes to some boilerplate (with extensive retesting of 3 plugins.). Might be the only way though.

Hey ho.

No, I'm using my own dialog.

The Action callback is hard to use as it fires for every character change... and you never know which is the last!

valuechanged_cb doesn't allow you to reject the change.

Sorry to be blunt, but 'of course' usually means somebody didn't check. Are both programmes using the same file name within the same project name in the same location? A mismatch is almost always the cause of this sort of problem. Have you made any changes recently on your system? Does it work for s...

I have some text fields in a plugin that must not be left blank. There are toggles the user can set to disregard a field (rather than use a blank value). I can set a mask of "/S+" to ensure that, if the user does enter anything, it must be at least one non-blank word character, and initialise to a n...

Are you sure AS is operating with the same project as FH?

Links are purple if I remember correctly -- I'm not using it, it was just a test of what could be done.
