Re: Batch change media image extensions
Thank you JP Ford for posting this query in the Media Forum. In my previous Media Forum query Image format in FH/AS, JPG or TIF? My query included this paragraph. Would amending the image format, within FH, require the renewal of every link between the image and data to which it is linked? This post...

Re: Image format in FH/AS, JPG or TIF?
Nick, thank you, I was thinking to edit and then save as a TIF, so that as Mike has suggested, I can retain my image EXIF data, added at initial editing and the image then becomes "lossless". As Mark has stated, many documents require de-skewing and edging, along with some colour balance a...

Whilst the TIF format retains definition/information every time the image is manipulated. When I initially file my images, outwith ...

Re: Ancestral Sources v7.8.3 Beta Testing (November 2023)
Aye John IoM, Previously when entering a census occupation (Or any item utilising a drop down list) I could press <enter> to move down to the next entry which would remain blank unless I entered something, so it was quite easy to use <enter> to go down several blank entries. With 7.8.3 when you pres...

Re: Image Titles - suggested enhancement
Aye jelv,
I use the same method as Chris Read describes.
As for "names?", when entering multiple pages from the same census, end the title with the appropriate page number works for me.
I hope this helps.
Good health, Bill
