Military Individual Property Tab

Hi

I currently run FH on my MacBook Air with Crossover.

I download the military data set and the Military Individual Property Tab which works However, is there any way to change the order of the tabs and not have the military tab beside the Main tab.

Re: Problems Running FH V6 with Crossover on Mac

Thanks Colin on the backup tips. I have been using Family Historian extensively for the last 2 days for the Morrison Project, and no issues.

Re: Problems Running FH V6 with Crossover on Mac

Hi

Checked the Morrison.fh_data from Mac Finder it would appear that the Ged file is still there - see attached. I haven't had the McCafferty project open for a while, did a check on the Baillie Test previously.

Re: Problems Running FH V6 with Crossover on Mac

Hi, The files are in the place that states in FH. Confirm there is a morrison.ged file in the Morrison.fh_data from Mac Finder (See attached). The file was created today as I restored again from back up this morning. I then opened up FH and added in a new source. I closed the project and no issues. ...

Re: Problems Running FH V6 with Crossover on Mac

I'm now wondering if the backups are corrupts and I should wipe FH and Crossover off the MacBook. Load Crossover V19 and FH V6 again. Is this a ridiculous idea? The only thing I'm concerned about is if I were to delete Crossover and FH from the Mac, will the backup files that I can access from FH/Cr...

Re: Exporting from Family Historian

Hi Thank you for your advice and the GEDCOM link. I'm a novice at understanding GEDCOM but this is a start. Obviously changing from FH is my last resort. I can already see in review the MFT demo that the "To date", witnesses, custom facts, media files are not supported or are problematic. ...

Re: FH6 Project not opening in Project Window and hangs

Hi Mike When you reload FH does Morrison 2021 open without error and is its Last Updated date correct? It did until I got the error "this file has been modified by another application". That's when I had to quit. I then looked at Crossover troubleshooting and there was tutorial on Grant Cr...

Re: FH6 Project not opening in Project Window and hangs

Hi Mike

I spoke too soon - I've just went back to the Family Historian package which was left open and the hang message had come up.

I haven't deleted the Morrison Project yet.

Is this something that I need to speak to Crossover support about?

I cannot do anything except Quit FH and reload.
