Re: FH v7 and windows emulators WARNING

Thanks Mervyn.
Calico Pie were right when they told me not to expect a fix this side of Christmas! That was last December.
I regret upgrading. I hope they eventually find a fix.

Re: FH v7 and windows emulators WARNING

After several months away, I thought I'd see if my previous issues had been fixed running under Crossover. They have not. Anything with tables is hopeless, with text in second/third etc columns overwriting on first column as reported previously. This also affects using the Research Log, a feature I ...

Re: FH v7 and windows emulators WARNING

Reported to Calico Pie today, further issue running under Crossover 20.0.2 (also same with v 19) using Mac OS Catalina: Choosing any source template instantly makes FH7 crash. Have to use Force Quit to exit completely. The first tab of a source/citation entry screen is always fine. Data goes where i...

Re: FH v7 and emulators WARNING

A couple of issues found when using Crossover (v19.0.2). Tables in Notes are not working. Inserting a table produces a tiny grid and typing just overwrites in same cell and then cursor leaves table entirely. Sources - Citation Data Entry: Text typed into blank fields just completely overwrites the f...

Re: FH v7 and emulators WARNING

I've just installed F7 in Crossover. It is frustrating that the reports I've so far looked at just present as black sheets. There is a warning about this on the knowledge base - things to be aware of before installing. I would use Individual Summary Reports extensively so hope this is something that...

Re: CrossOver v19

Mervyn, I've upgraded my MacOS to Catalina, and have the latest Crossover 19. When I start Family Historian I get stuck with the message "Cannot find import; DLL may be missing, corrupt or wrong version. File "MSIMG32.dll" error 126." Any ideas what steps I could try?

Encouraging. I've been having FH crashing on me lately. But might try uninstalling and reinstalling and giving it another go. I have a quite modern MacAir with Mojave.

Re: FH5 running under Crossover on Mavericks - no text on report

Testing FH6 under Mojave, I too have no text on displayed reports (only images) until I choose Print Preview. So glad Mike pointed out that the reports do actually print! I hope this eventually gets sorted.

Re: London - districts, parishes,wards etc

Cary's map of London (1804) from McMaster University Library is brilliant. So clear when zoomed, with no watermarks. Can snip the bit you want quite easily. I use it a lot for exploring around Hackney area.

Re: Changing wording in Facts

Thank you Mike, that could save a lot of time. I do intend to get my head around using Narrative Reports too; but only if I master them sufficiently to make the wording less robotic. There have been really good examples already on the forums of how to do this. Meanwhile, I am aware of the shortcomin...

Re: Changing wording in Facts

Mike, I might well be changing over to using the Census fact as opposed to Residence. It was because this tree started out in Ancestry who put the events against residence automatically rather than census. I might well be starting the tree from scratch, a family at a time, to do it all consistently ...

Re: Changing wording in Facts

I echo what Bob Ward has said. I also favour Individual Summary Reports, making it easy to see a chronology of key events. At the moment I use the Note under each Residence (e.g. from the censuses 1841-1911) to put a list of a complete household: this makes it easier to follow through and see which ...

Re: Ancestry tree problem

A slight change now. The dialog box drop down gets populated by, first, people from my address book in a little drop down menu, closely followed by another drop down with people from the Ancestry tree. Progress of a sort! Not heard back from Ancestry. Maybe a blip which they are working on.
