If you do a search on YouTube there are a couple of videos on there.

One way to do this is to create a source for the certificate and then turn on Automatic Source Citations with that new source as the input record and then add it to the Burial and Death facts. Otherwise you can select more than one fact in the facts dropdown list with click and ctrl / shift click on...

I do a surname study and have several hundred unconnected trees in one master FH project. It is easy to add an 'unconnected' individual just go to Add > Unrelated Individual and add the person then build their tree backwards and add to it in the normal way. When you get to the common ancestor you ju...

@Mike

No such luck unfortunately this is the result with 0.7
Whereas v0.8 still works fine.

@Colin ~ Have you tried closing and re-opening FH which might reset things?

Spot on @Mike that has fixed it now reports as E:\

Mike I have in fact set it to E:\ for the projects folder. I have other mapped folders on my Mac HDD for other Windows apps to access. It seems as though it is FH that is reporting the location \\VBOXSVR\Family_Historian_Projects as that is what is set in the Project Window. I have now set it to E:\...

Success

@Mike

My Mac folders are mapped drives so do have a Windows drive letter assigned. It seems as though your plugin seems to be ignoring the mapped letter and actually looking at share folder structure. Could you swap it to look at drive letters?

@Mike

Still issues with my VM install.

Mervyn Thanks for that information. I hadn't done any digging into the reasons. Like you for my main research I use a VM, I only use a POM instance on my iMac for quick lookups rather than the time it takes to fire up the VM. I have not gone to Catalina as there are some other 32 bit Mac apps that I...

Mike

No there are no addons with names like either of those in POM.

I have run the latest version of the plugin in POM
And in the VM

Mike I have never had that issue before and regularly update plugins manually just by running the new downloaded version. It is the first time that I have ever had this. So ma be JOOTT. I have just updated POM without issue by installing the new version over the top of the old one. A different error...

Mike

A couple of interesting things. The new one failed to install on the VM and overwrite the old version came up with unable to install. I manually deleted the old one and installed the new one fine. Still an issue though.

Mike

As expected no luck with PlayOnMac.
And it doesn't like mapped drives in a VM
VM is Windows 10 Pro 64bit running as admin

I attach as 11 separate images to one source. However, with a good image editing programme they could be combined into one image. Load the first one and then increase the canvas size to 11 times its current width or height whichever you prefer and then drop each of the other images into it. The save...

William There is no right or wrong way to do this like all things genealogical it is what works best for you. If you think about it what you are proposing is multiple trees. Your childrens tree would start with them and have both you and your wife in it but would it include their siblings? Whereas y...

Mike

Yes the new version is fine on both.

Mike

I have given up with Codeweavers, unfortunately I only renewed my licence on 25th of last month. Their support is next to useless for anything but the simplest problem. If it wasn't for the coexistence issue of FH and AS I would get my money back and stick with POM.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D @Mike that is incredible it works perfectly. It installed all the libraries really quickly far quicker than the winhttp download and install. It installed the Research Planner help file too without issue. This is an excellent plugin for both Mac and Windows users. It...

Thanks @Mike I will take a look at that. It won't be a problem on my VM.

I have just had to update FTAnalyzer on my VM as it was an old version and I wanted to checkout a gedcom that won't load into FH. I ran into similar problems when trying to download the version from the Windows store it kept saying error when it tried to download. I pushed the Get button and again i...

Mike

Well done. That works fine and installs the zip.dll in Crossover.

Does Crossover/POL/POM have an ftp component installed by default? I doubt that it is ftp as neither of those files is present in either POM or Crossover. It seems that as I had POM on my laptop as well as Crossover Crossover was getting confused. Now removed but other issues have now popped up wit...

There is an article in the knowledgebase about most of the options for getting your data online. I have two websites as linked in my signature. One uses my own Wordpress plugin the second uses a custom query in FH the result of which I save as a CSV file that I upload to the site, this just displays...

@Mike

Just a thought what process does FH itself use for updates? The reason for asking is that Crossover copes happily with updating versions of FH say from 6.2.x to 6.2.7. Why can't plugins use the same method and not use winhttp.

Still working with Codeweavers about the winhttp issue though.
