Re: Entering occupation

I suspect it was entered in FH in lower case.

You should be able to go the Tools, Works with Data in FH and edit the record.

Re: Focus Window Hints

Peterbel,

Instead, you could use Mike Tate's, Lookup Census Records plugin, which does a great job,
If you haven't got it yet, you can go to the Tools menu, Plugins, Plugin Store.

Re: Property Box - Starred 'fact flags' on births/born events

Hi Mike, Thanks again for the delete in batches proposal. Great stuff. It will clear the remaining flags. Please note that I had deleted the initial plug in text (a string of errors on my part, admittedly) otherwise I would have posted this back and sought your guidance for a fix. Then it would have...

Re: Property Box - Starred 'fact flags' on births/born events

Hi Mike,

Yes, you are correct in that I experimented on a live project. Wrongly, of course.
I have confidence I copied, faithfully, both sets of plug in scripts.
Appreciate your input and support as ever - Thank you.

Since it was my mistake, I'll fix it over time. No problem doing that.

Thank you Mike, I will try this is the morning and feed back. A few days ago, another member had asked about preferred flags and you had scripted a plug in text. I know I copied that text into the plug in editor as an experiment. I'm guessing that was when the issue began but I hadn't realised the p...

Re: Property Box - Starred 'fact flags' on births/born events

Hi Mike,

I would very much like to take you up on your kind offer, with not having any coding skills at all.
In the meantime, I had created a quick query to switch off the flags, however with 5000 records it's a bit of a b. breaker.
Thanks, Mike - I appreciate this a lot.

Re: Property Box - Starred 'fact flags' on births/born events

Hi Mike,

I definitely haven't updated each record one by one, and especially not on the birth/born events.
Nevertheless, I'll have a look at the plugin you've made for another user, or reset those one-by-one.
Thank you for your help.

Property Box - Starred 'fact flags' on births/born events

Hi. I have a situation where all the births/born events now appear to have the starred/preferred fact flag setting and I'm now wondering if I could switch these off back to the default setting. From my recollection, the only time I've used the preferred fact flag is when I've used it to select a pre...

Diagram Pop up box (Select Root for xxx Diagram)

Hi,

Is there a setting to switch this box off ?
It comes up every time a diagram is selected from the Top toolbar menu.

Thank you.

BillH,

They are attribute fields. But when you look at it on a basic level, it's a case of cutting and pasting.
No more - no less.

Copying from FindAGrave to MS Word the font reads as Source Sans Pro . When the same text is copied from MS Word to F...

From my perspective, I've logged on and back on again, It worked in MS Edge and Chrome. However, I'm keeping an open mind and putting both occasions down to a glitch somewhere.
Fingers crossed it doesn't return.
