Thanks Nick for your On Topic reply. I will study the links above and when understood proceed .......... slowly.

Yes I knew it was off topic but as I said, hoping for some experienced guidance. Apologises.
Any chance for an 'Off Topic/IT' category in the future?

I am considering replacing my PC (a laptop) and I am planning what I have got ahead of me. I realise this is not an FH specific problem but hope that the some FHUG members may have trod this path before and could have some good advice. Some details: Windows 10 to 11. The majority of my data is on On...

Thanks.
I will leave it linked to the Place for the time being, perhaps precis it later when I have some spare time.

Thanks both,
The Document in question is a 24 page Word doc', would Place Local Note still be suitable?

Thanks Mike.
I looked around and found that I could link the document to the Place, so for the moment I have done that.
Not sure what impact that will have on the reports and where it will become visible though.

I have a been given a document which describes the 15/16th century history of a place my ancestors lived in, although they are not mentioned in the document. What are the options for saving this? I could link it to all relatives known to have lived there but if add new individuals I would then have ...

Ah yes, thanks Mike. I had forgotten that process.

I am an occasional user of AS as most of my shared documents had already been linked to Individuals before I started to use it, but I have found it very efficient since. I was wondering if there was a possibility of extending its features by being able to link an Image, with its associated text, to ...

Ran 2.2 against my data and it found one 'Records Differ', nothing else.
Inspecting the result it was exactly the same image but with two file names linked to two individuals.
However, both individuals are on the image and correctly linked to their FH records.
So a false positive, interesting.

Ran it without issue and now checking the output, it was very quick.
Small typo in the PlugIn descriptor, "univeral"

Fascinating to read the direction this PlugIn is taking.
Happy to be a tester if it helps!

Thanks Tim et al,
I have downloaded Gazetteer csv file and had a quick look at its content, looks like just what I was searching for.
Thanks again. I will try my hand at writing some Excel functions to extract the County for each of my Towns.
Should keep me busy until 2024 !

Thanks both. Yes, I had considered those points but thought that I could deal with exceptions manually, as it would be, hopefully, a much shorter list. There are dates in the rows which would make it possible to choose the right County list if, there were documented changes over time, but adding tha...

I have an Excel research spreadsheet which is 15000 lines long and has a column that lists the Town associated with that individual. I want to process them to also have the County in the adjacent column so I can calculate the number of lines (individuals) that were recorded in that County. Is there ...

In case it helps, I wound back to 1.4.1 and no error?

Ugh! 1.4.2 is erroring when it is checking the avi file again ??

Thanks for the explanation Mike. I think I was confusing Media Title and Media File Name.
Thanks also for the offer of more help
I will start investigating !

Perhaps I have incorrectly described the reason?? Snapshot of my test using 1.4.2 Capture.JPG Looking in the folder with Explorer only the image with the John and Jane section exists, for that one line. My convention, which I moved to after realising I needed one to sort on, is: Year (If appropriate...

It ran without error and reported my large avi which presumably tripped up the earlier version. As I want to proceed with caution I tend to always choose Do Not Merge , then I can inspect the result set and decide an action line by line. Perhaps my particular issue but the majority of what it finds ...

Thanks MIke. It ran without an error finding 7 possible dups.

Thanks for the prompt response Mike.
Yes I do have some Video files in the Media folder, one about 720,000 kb. so pretty big!

Ran this today and it came up with an error.
Unsure if it is relevant but this is the first time I have run it since putting the FH folder on to OneDrive.

Thanks Mike for the step by step instructions. If I had known it was as easy as copy and pasting folders to the OD Personal folder I would have done it ages ago! I was puzzled why Setting > Choose Folders didn't let choose anything, just view what had already been chosen. However it is now all done ...

You are right I don't think I have grasped the One Drive principals. I thought the chosen folders were sync'd to the Cloud account and were made visible/available in OD Personal in Explorer. Yes, if I am to stop using the FH Full Backup I would like OD to take its place and that is what I thought I ...
