Mike you are correct. I have used this method since drag and drop was introduced. It was only an observation, not a complaint, that FH7 works differently in producing a concatenated line and not the layout FH6 produced.
Discussion closed.

FHv6 drag and drop kept the text in the same tabular appearance as the original. As you can see from my screen dump FH7 strips out all the carriage returns and blank lines.
Both screen dumps show that the selection area is the same, from 'First' etc.

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this anomaly as I haven’t seen a posting. When looking at hints from FMP within FH window I always used to drag and drop into the Citation Notes box and it all stayed in the same format. Now in FHv7 it concatenates it all into one long unreadable line. However...

This post is just to let users know not to rely on, or possibly not use, File History to get back any old or lost file. FH has very good methods of backing up your projects. If you are like me then I use extra backup methods. In the past I thought the inbuilt File History in the recent Windows versi...

I reported this to Calico Pie with the error event details and this was their response. Thank you for reporting this. We believe that the plugins problem is a separate, unrelated problem. We believe that the crash you experienced was probably related to your use of the internal web browser, although...

I would not have posted here unless I knew I was looking at the correct FH.EXE event error log. The shutdown was preceded by two other observations. 1. Plugins would not load within FH 2. FMP Websearch window took between 5-10seconds to close down each time after clicking on the cross. These were ob...

FH has just shutdown without warning. Event log shows the error details that caused it. It has three screens showing details in different ways. How should I present this information and who should I send it to?

I can confirm that I have also experienced FH suddenly shutting down. I am on the latest version and all updates are done automatically. This has happened after MS Edge was updated recently. There is no error message, it just shuts down. I also get, as Mike can confirm, that over the years I have ha...

Well done Jane, excellent as always. One extra step in the process, after clicking on 'profile' it takes you to View Profile, you need to click on 'edit profile' to get to the appropriate screen for the Weekly Bulletin option. Thanks again.

Mike I analysed the differences between my three new partition drive setups to try and see a pattern. Although they should have been all created 'equal' Windows 10 decided to set them all up differently despite them being only purely data partitions. I researched the background of the very complicat...

I renamed the existing Log files and AS created a new one ok. However for an entry update, as distinct to a new entry. AS needs to change/delete Backup files which again it could not do as access was denied. I believe that it is a folder/file permissions problem but I do not know what they should be...

Jane Yes H drive is the one containing all the FH Project and AS data. It was the G drive on the old PC but was migrated across. The referencing in the AS Tools options was changed to the new location and the settings happily backup and restore ok. I can open the file in AS View Log Files so it woul...

The first time I have used AS since moving across to a new Windows 10 PC I received an error message when AS tries to open its log file. The date shows that this file was last used with Windows 8.1 PC. Not sure what to do to resolve the issue. Screen capture attached.

Mike, I use a disk with FH 6 and then use the online updates. It has always loaded with IE set at 9 for Windows 8.1 and now for Windows 10 on a brand new PC it would appear. Articles from launch of Windows 10. " What about Windows 10? Microsoft revealed a brand new web browser called Microsoft Edge ...

Jane and Mike I followed all the rules for migration as per knowledgebase and forum articles including user credentials export and import. It was the IE version which defaults to 9 in Windows 10. Changed to IE 11 and all works fine. I would have thought that this issue was solved by now as Windows 1...

I have just migrated to a new Windows 10 PC and all appears ok with one exception. Hints for Find My Past show ok but the web search window it opens is always blank. The hints work fine by opening an external browser window. I searched the forum and knowledge base but have not found anyone else with...

On this same theme I am having a lot of problems running the 'check for plugin updates' plugin. It used to run very quickly but now seems to take anything up to an hour if it doesn't crash beforehand. I am unsure if this is a problem with my PC or if anyone else is having long delays with this check...

All the occupations have citations showing the sources. I accept that there will be limitations with Tribal Pages but I will continue to seek out a good programme giving ease of access and long term storage of my family tree data.

Thanks Mike, using default settings does seem to resolve the root problem. Tribal Pages does not import everything in the same way. I notice that sometimes it will show occupations correctly and other times puts the actual note into a separate place. Occupations 6 to 10 do not display correctly desp...

I too have been getting this out of memory message in the last week. It is followed by FH closing itself down. As per previous reports I am opening up the FMP hints using internal browser window as I have done for several years without any problems. FMP has been suffering from error 500 in recent we...

I have started experimenting with exporting to Tribal Pages as I have some distant relatives using it. I have noticed an issue. If there is a 'root'person setup in FH it does not get included in the export. I have moved my 'root' person around and each time the export to TP excludes that person. If ...

It has a useful plugin from FH but I do not find it as useful in the initial stage. If you are trawling through the facts for a single person and notice a missing census then ok. If like me after 30 years of records cannot remember what is missing then not quite so good. As per the attached screenpr...

I have just tried out this FTAnalyzer programme and found it useful in finding anomolies in my Gedcom file which FH did not find. I especially like the colour coded pages for census omissions with direct linking to the selected website to try and find the missing census. This makes it easy to see wh...

I am using this plugin to find any possible anomalies in my data. I have read the knowledge base on this plugin and also the forum questions about it. I still have a few questions that I hope some other experienced users can provide an answer based on their use. 1. I have been entering burial dates,...

I have found the answer in a post by Lorna Craig 29th April 2016 which is a very simple easy solution to see 'Pool' numbers next to individuals in the records window without having to run a query every time. This posting never got to me, probably in the many months that Rootsweb was not behaving las...
