Re: error while starting FH7.0.22 (program close)

I know this doesn't really help apart from the fact that I also have a very large tree also, and do not have any of these problems.

Re: Unable to Save!

Is your file stored on some sort of cloud storage?

I used to get the problem when my project files were on Google Drive (I now use dropbox)

Google locks your files whilst it is updating the files in the cloud

Click on the individuals name in the people finder and choose "Change Name", once saved the change will be reflected in the census grid.

Re: Multiple marriages to same person

On your Uncles record choose to Add a new spouse - Link to existing record and choose spouse no 2. This will create a new family record, than add the new marriage data.
On the focus window you should then see the same couple listed twice, but with different marriage dates

Re: Check For Possible Duplicate Media (FH7) plugin - first prototype

Whenever I use the Check for Unlinked Media Plugin I always use the move option, because I want to check each file separately to verify that it does need deleting (Belt and Braces approach). The new Check for Duplicate Media functionality would do away with the need to run the unlinked media plugin.

Re: Backup failure

This sounds to me like a permissions issue. FH does not have permission to write to the area where the backup is to be saved.
Try re-installing FH (Neo need to delete first) by right clicking on the installation file and choosing "Run as administrator".

Re: Check For Possible Duplicate Media (FH7) plugin - first prototype

Quite correct Mark,
2 different files on each Media Record, Probably (Certainly) from a previous duplicates merge operation where I forgot to disconnect one of the records.

Took 7 minutes to run.

Re: Check For Possible Duplicate Media (FH7) plugin - first prototype

I just tried it, ran ok. Can't compare how long it took to the original version as I got called away from my computer while it was running. (Original would take around 30 mins for 45,000+ media) The result set is confusing though. I have 4 duplicate pairs, but the duplicates shown are actually the s...

Re: Ancestral Sources v7.8.3 Beta Testing (November 2023)

I do not use templated sources. Previously when entering a census occupation (Or any item utilising a drop down list) I could press <enter> to move down to the next entry which would remain blank unless I entered something, so it was quite easy to use <enter> to go down several blank entries. With 7...

The Muswell Hill entry has a full stop (Period) after England, so is different to England without the full stop.

Re: How many sources have you created with Ancestral Sources?

There are several ways to update the 1939 entry. Probably the easiest way is to rename the old image record (And update the filename) and also the source record (I add the word OLDE to both) and then delete them. and process the updated image as a new image and new source.

Hi Nick,

A bug seems to have crept in on latest version. (7.7.6)
I have only tested Census 1939 Register so far, but each of the column headings has had "vbCrLf " appended to it
