Re: Restoring Settings to New OS Build
The related Wish item Ref 460 Localise Settings to Projects would help resolve this issue, as well as another nagging problem I’ve had with FH since I came here (only a year ago). There are some settings I switch back-and-forth for different projects – It’s become “muscle-memory”, but it would be sw...

Re: Problem setting up new laptop
Yes! All is well.
I’m sorry if I sent you chasing rabbits. But whatever you did to accommodate my (preferred) date format will be good. Thank you for your work and for your patience!

Installed and ran v.3.2.2.

Re: Problem setting up new laptop
Clue? Out of curiosity, I looked at the various file dates that seem to be of issue. For example, the one shown in my screenshot, ...\Application\Preferences\prefs.dat; the reported 'abnormal' "Date Modified 3/11/22 6:00:14 PM" is actually "...3/11/22 5:00 PM". There is exactly o...

Re: Problem setting up new laptop
I first ran the revised plugin (Restore) using the 'same' backup file, and got essentially the same result. Several 'new' pop-up's showed, each with detail reporting the 'problem date' and the full file path. Example: Screenshot 2022-03-27 093002.jpg I clicked OK through 2 or 3 of these, and then cl...

Problem setting up new laptop
I bought a new laptop and installed my 'other' license of FH7 (7.0.11.0) on it. I followed the kb-article/family-historian-copy-and-migration-guide strictly. I copied my projects and data OK, but can't get my settings and customizations. I ran the backup-and-restore plugin, also per instruction. But...

Re: Move Note URL to Rich Text Web Link
To clarify… This is what mine looked like. I still don’t know enough about plugin coding to speak with any authority, but my case may be related to the Clean Up Notes plugin. (?) I had run that first (to delete the leading blank lines), because it destroys the rich text formatting; and then ran Move...

Re: Move Note URL to Rich Text Web Link
Mike, I had noticed this, too. Running the plugin a second time unexpectedly ‘chops off’ the “h” in “http”. I easily fixed it via a search & replace to the GEDCOM. There normally wouldn’t be a need to run this plugin another time, but I had merged a small branch from another FTM import, and used...

Copying Records from one Project to another
I’ve spent a lot of time & effort cleaning up Source , Repository and Place Records in my primary project file, and I want to “copy/overwrite” these into my other projects (which use the same). I created a new Project (with Split Tree Helper and some GEDCOM edit) that contains only these Records...

help with Search and Replace
I’m not sure if this belongs in the General or Plugin subs… All of my Generic Sources have a trailing semi-colon at the end of the “Publisher Info” value string. (These were all imported from FTM; this appears to be an artifact of the FTM export.) This semi-colon “messes up” my formatted Footnotes, ...

Re: Editing “Generic” Footnotes (by Source)
Thanks!
That worked exactly as I hoped.
This is a great, simple 'trick' for Lumpers and Generic-Sourcers.
And, besides all things FH, I'm slowly learning the correct terminology for the pieces.

Editing “Generic” Footnotes (by Source)
This is somewhat an extension of several earlier threads, but those discussions went elsewhere, so I start a new question… As an “importee” with years of composed data, all of my Sources are ‘generic sources’. Even the very few ‘templated’ sources I had before import to FH came over as generic. That...

Result Set too wide to read
When I do a “Citations to Source Record”, the Result Set is way too wide to read. Scrolling over and changing column widths works to a point, but it takes several scroll/adjust width/scroll, etc. to get to the far-right column (footnote text). And sometimes this column reaches some sort of limit and...

Mike, Thanks for your reply. I understand the concept of Note Records and Local Notes , and your explanation of the terminology is excellent.

I think this is probably (?) an Import issue, so I post here. I recently imported from FTM2014.1. I checked and validated both the FTM export GEDCOM and the resultant FH GEDCOM.

Expand or Collapse the data tree in the ALL tab
I’m a newbie, so forgive my inexperience.
Is there a quick key or shortcut to expand or collapse the entire data structure tree in the “All” tab of the Property Boxes – without clicking each “+” or “-“, or highlighting an item and pressing “enter” ?
I’ve searched Help, but can’t find it.
