Re: Potential Probate Plugin
Normie, no problem with your personal choice. If you're happy that your plugins are robust, there's always the plugin store.

Re: Right click options
As a user who works almost exclusively with diagrams, I'd really love to be able to right click on a diagram box to add to a Named List. As it is I first have to double click on the box to open the Property Box, select Go To Record, then go to the Records window where the record is highlighted, and...

Have a look at the TextPart function with the Tidy parameter.

Re: Unspecified Error in FH7 when trying to view media
Yes. And no, it won't affect the Project Directories. (It might affect the default directory for projects, so don't panic if they seem to vanish -- I can't remember if this is the case).

Re: Unspecified Error in FH7 when trying to view media
Gary, are you using one of the Backup and Restore Settings plugins (there are two -- pick either, depending on your personal preferences for UI etc.) and use that to backup all your settings before reinstalling. Settings are a combination of registry entries, and file outside projects, so a complete...

Did you include this bit in the workspace definition:

"Lua.diagnostics.disable": [
"lowercase-global"
]
}

Re: Adding Media files.
I would just review the evidence by viewing the source record image(s). Whereas I would prefer that people seeing my research didn't have to retread my steps (although they should question them). After understanding the absolute basics, if people want to progress to using other areas of FH that is ...

Re: Adding Media files.
We're getting way off topic for 'Adding Media files' but.... If you link a marriage certificate to an individual and the father's name on the certificate doesn't match the father's name in the tree, I'm assuming you write notes explaining why -- but where? for the individual? for the fact? And when ...

Re: Adding Media files.
The point that I am trying to make is that it is not always necessary to conform to a perceived standard if that standard is so technical and time consuming that it ends up taking over one's life. I have watched many people become disillusioned, dropping out of trying to follow sessions that teach ...

Re: Adding Media files.
Helen - the people that I help with FH are beginners, mostly elderly, struggle with IT technology and computers, but want to record their family history research in a simple manner that they can understand. They have absolutely no interest in time consuming more advanced methods of using FH. If I w...

Re: Adding Media files.
Everybody has a method of working they're happy with; some of us are happy to change if new features come along and some of us aren't. The important thing is that we're honest about the consequences of our own particular way of working when we recommend it to others. Trevor, you don't use source rec...

I hadn't got around to checking is VS Code supported LUA, but will as I have it installed already, and see how that goes. Recommended extensions: Lua by Sumneko.

Re: Using an External Editor
I use Visual Studio Code with some relevant extensions. It integrates with Github, so I keep my master outside the FH plugins folder, and only transfer files there for debugging. One particular strength of this is that, if you set up the VS Code 'workspace' appropriately, it can recognise functions ...

Via the plugin store, but probably simpler just to fork it yourself.

Re: Templates: Input form labels
I don't believe we should be specifying formatting, as CP will have their own 'design guide'. Perhaps something like
"When present in a template, the 'label' should be visually distinct from the fields which is associated with."

Re: GRO Source Reference plugin
I’d not looked at the Store author list before. Around half the names were unfamiliar to me, and don’t have any plugins listed. Presumably, they were contractors employed by CP at various times that have not been deleted from the system? Check the Language Packs, Mark. On the subject of iuplua, I s...

Re: Templates: Input form labels
I'd be opposed to adding qualifiers to field names(as a plugin author who wishes people would use the same names for the same fields!).
And yes, I understand why you're reluctant to post a specific example, but it does make it hard for people to see the utility of what you're proposing.

Re: Templates: Input form labels
Helen; I think the you are missing the point of improving the visibility of groups of fields. "well-crafted prompt" cannot fulfill the same purpose unless each and every field-name contains the prefix that I would propose be able to be added as a label for the group of fields. Adding such...
