it is what i am doing now. mostly its just a 'feature' of fhoutputresultsetcolumn... not the first time I have issues with the numbers as text sort.

I have a field I want to set significant digits on it 2 decimals and I want it to be a number

so
510.1
should be
510.10
and of course I can make that number, it is trivial, but LUA immediately changes it back to 510.1
am I missing a trick of some kind to set significant digits?

Glenwood City Cemetery, 282-298 Memorial Drive, Glenwood, MN, 56334, USA actually gives the place coordinates for: 101-153 W Oak St, Glenwood City, WI 54013 there are a slug of others, when I put the first address into google maps it gets me much closer as a partial. is there something I can do to m...

windows 10 has strange settings.

I crashed when loading its a new windows 10 installation, had to add C:\Program Files (and I added 86 and Data as well) to the Path variable. works just fine.

I have decided my present problem has elided from my original statement, while it is deferred that is outstanding as well. if Opt == 'Display' then local fp = rtvpath('*temp') fp = fp .. pgnam .. '.txt' SaveFile(table.concat(PRTF, '\n') .. '', fp) pp = "C:\\Program Files\\Just Great Software\\EditPa...

I have a file (on my desktop) but it could be anywhere.

I am not sure, here, is lfs included in FH?

I am using the code snippet LoadCSV. it doesnt find the file, I guess it doesnt look thru MY whole computer path.

how do I find a file on my computer, and retrieve the path?

philisophically... when your ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggreatgranddaughter is verifying the research and adding to the family tree, I think that a known child count of 1 is as helpful as a known child count of 0. I would include it anyhow.

I am on windows 10 64 bit now. I had a wonderful migration plan. well, the disk cakked in mid migration. havent lost my gedcom or pictures and documents, backed up in a different place. I did lose three very valuable files, but here I sit, moved my program files, program data program, and program(x8...

Golders Green, 62 Hoop Lane, London, EN, GBR is what you put in the SOUR.TITLE which I attempt to key on in my table. Golders Green, 62 Hoop Lane, London, EN, , GBR as it appears in my file, and which I key on the address table from my file. the lat long is in all the source records, my addresses ar...

it tidies them up for the api, and uses the 'tidied up' field as the address when it plunks them in source records, so when I make a table of them to get my LAT LONG I do not have the API addresses in my file. I have the API version in the source records, and never the twain shall meet, for a key co...

the only cavil I have with the program is that (as you say, who knows commas) but I use commas and a space for placekeepers, and when you strip them out to do the api so that: Golders Green, 62 Hoop Street, London, , EN, GBR cant find the postal code, and LondonNW 11 doesnt fit into my scheme, but o...

Cor Blimey!
That was harmless, worked the first time in only a few lines of code.
I thought I was in for long torturous weeks of confusion.

thanks.

when I ran the plugin with those settings, it showed addresses but created source records for place and for address. numerically, it created all the place records first, so as I looked at the sources from the records window, the places were grouped together before the address records, they were type...

I may have misunderstood. this is how I set the preferences. Untitled.png it added both place records and address records as sources. created a list and deleted the 1842 place sources. there are 0 links for these sources. If I understand you correctly, I will have to write a plugin to go thru burial...

a question, although I will find out, does it attach the source record it creates to those addresses? then its a simpler matter to revamp my code, otherwise have to come up with code to attach to address, so I would look for (in my case) @S1944@ FaG in my matGRV module, and then grab the source of t...

it would seem that option 3 would be the best for me at present. Thank you.

I guess my question was, is that what you intended, that it doesnt see a different version on update. I am figuring out how to write a plugin that will take my current TODO events and split the notes into the research planner note forms.

FYI, I just checked installed plugins against the store, and if you have done any updates since I took the working copy from the thread, it did not retrieve a new copy, it said its up to date. Is that the way it should be?

Since I haven't gotten feedback on my issue with Mater-Pater, I have done some other 'upgrade' coding. I am now saving my lat/long to the @_PLAC records and thats working out well, for several of my plugins. I need to have for certain classes of records, (the immediate need) the address of the cemet...
