Family Historian User Group

Your web page allows anyone who wants to very easily find: your name; an gmail email address for you; your home address (and see inside it in October 2023, and how much it cost then). They can make a good stab at your age, by using your parents dates. I've found you on Facebook (by triangulating wit...

A Templated Source is just a Generic Source in fancy clothes -- i.e. with some metafields added. The generic source fields aren't usually populated in a Templated source, but you can add them and populate them via the All tab for the source record converned (Right click on the record title and Add f...

Gary, if you read thw original post, you will see that it copies linked Source Template Records.

LAY BAPTISM By the law of the English church as well deduced from the general Canon law as from its own particular constitutions down to the time of the Reformation lay baptism was allowed and practised It was regular and even prescribed in cases of necessity it was so complete and valid that it wa...

In the context of the Church of England a ‘private’ baptism was one which did not take place in the church. Typically it took place in the family’s home soon after the birth and was done as a matter of urgency because the baby was weak and thought unlikely to survive. If the child did survive he/sh...

We're getting into the realms where narrative sentences will never be good enough.

What about when one parent is living and one is not?

What about when two of the children are alive and one isnt?

What tense is appropriate then?

Hi John - Thanks for that. There is one other thing I've noticed;- If you enter a District which the plugin assumes is an invalid format then it brings up the Lua Error Dialog. On this you have the options of Copy, Continue or Exit. The first two are fine but if you use Exit then it shuts everythin...

Private baptism in one church followed by baptism in another?

Thats probably a red herring, Mike. If you read the wiki page you linked its google doing the detecting and seemingly not removing an out of date reference to Badware.

Thanks for the attributions, Mike.

I enter it as part of the source information, and cite the source for both the birth fact and the mothers name.

In my plugins I have statements like:

Simplest would be to add Calico Pie, Jane and me to the list of contributors to your plugin.

I have FH running on my main Windows PC, and in a virtual machine on the same PC. It's definitely seen as using 2 licences.

Gary

yes, that's how it works. Designed (presumably) to stop people moving two copies of the software around more than 2 PCs on a regular basis.

You could try explaining your issue to Calico Pie support and see if they can offer a solution.

Sorry, Mike, but I personally don't think it's wasted energy to be certain that the problem doesn't affect fhFileUtils. As you don't use that library but code derived from it under the MIT licence, the fact that your latest version uses File System Objects doesn't automatically mean fhFileutils is O...

Thanks. So, it seems to be something specific to Mike's code.

BTW, I'm slightly confused. You say Mike's latest version doesn't use lfs, but you debugging screenshots show that it does.

So I'm thinking the problem is in lfs, but I'm not wading through that code!

I've quickly mapped a drive to a NAS share and stuck an FH project on it, then opened the project and run the plugin. No problems.

It might still be interesting to do the comparison. If the problem occurs using fhFileUtils it needs to be addressed there as well.

I'd test it myself but as we don't know what the issue is, me not being able to replicate it proves nothing.

Does getFileFolderDetails work (from the fhFileUtils library). That might tell us whether is a problem in lfs or something more fundamental (fhFileUtils doesn't use lfs). getFileFolderDetails (sPath) Return details of a single file or folder For the specified file or folder, the type,path,shortname,...

I'd still like to see an example workflow.

Are you talking about the window opened by Tools > Work With Data > Places... In which case, I'm not sure I understand. The right hand menu in that modal window is open as long as the window is open. I don't think you can be talking about the Map Window or the Places Record List, because neither of ...
