Re: FMP Hints Error

Thanks for both the question and the reply. It was annoying me too, and I've found 'Awesome Cookie Manager' for Chrome which seems to work very well.

Error when running Backup and Restore plugin

Mike - not sure if this is related (if not please feel free to move to a different topic). You reminded someone to run the 'Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings' and I thought that since I hadn't done it in a while, I'd do so. I get the following error message Screenshot 2022-02-27 074421.jp...

Re: Printing descendant reports

Here's the response: Thank you for reporting this. The fact that some buttons do not display when there is little space, is not a mistake. It is by design. Everything that you can do with the buttons on the Report Window pane, you can do by clicking options on the "Report" menu (except Pri...

Re: Printing descendant reports

Re: Printing descendant reports

I also have this issue, but only when Family Historian is on my laptop screen. As I have 2 other screens attached, I drag it up and can then have access to the buttons. But, there is no scroll down to see them, and this has definitely happened on one of the recent updates (but I don't know which one...

Re: Is FH As Good As We Think

Well said Nick. I was trying to formulate a reply, and you have covered all the points I was planning and more! I agree that the user created plugins are definitely a positive rather than a negative. One of the reasons is that I have complete control over which ones are installed or not, rather than...

Re: Re-linking media files

Thanks Nick! That makes sense, and is certainly the new direction I was heading towards.

Re: Re-linking media files

Maybe I'm going to have a major re-think about how I manage all of this too. I have always added the media to the fact (for the 20 years I've been using genealogy programs that could do it), and it was the move from TMG to FH which has started me thinking about looking at it differently (due to the ...

Hi Nigel! Nice to see someone else using Family Historian with GEDSITE.

It doesn't appear that it has to be included in the sentence at all. (Unle...

Re: Keep Query from being overwritten.

Thanks for this thread. I have learnt at least 2 new things for the day. I'm not sure that I had ever run the Plugin before (although I have it installed), and if I did I had no idea of the potential of being able to double-click or right-click and locate from the 'Result Set' in Query. I was also p...

I have also been having trouble with the MyHeritage hints. Some of the older ones are still there, but it just doesn't seem to be scanning for new matches.

I know that you can keep information private by using [[ ]], but how can I keep 'some' photos private? I definitely don't want all to be private, but there are a few which I want to keep in my database, but not have print on any reports, be part of any webpage or export.
