Family Historian User Group

Thanks Mark, I cant tell you how many times I looked that over and didnt see it because I was looking for "Named list" not Ancestry Sync list.. I just have to pay better attention. Thanks

Sorry for such a basic question, but I saw mentioned for a version change v2.1 last Sept that you could use a named list.. I just cant seem to find where that option is..

Thanks, Ill work with that and remove this request shortly

On the properties window I would find it very helpful to have the tab names become BOLD if they had any data. when flipping through names I wouldnt have to check ea tab one at a time if I could just see a change in the tab name.

Will do.

Thank You for all your help and suggestions!

Yes the Error happens with Both Medium and Full Backup. My Usual backup location is D:\gene\FamilyHistorianBackups but I have also tried D:\Backups to add to the description of the error and I doubt this matters but anyway, after I move the folder as previously mentioned, I can go to Backup and choo...

Did you make it clear to CP that you get the Parameter error message even BEFORE the Enter Backup File Name dialogue appears? Did you explain that the same Tools > Preferences > Backup settings work for other Projects? Yes and Yes and I gave a link to this thread also I don't understand how Media p...

I Just wanted to give an update. CP thought the issue is with my Media, and most likely with the filename/Path length. I copied one of the projects to use as an experiment and deleted media links and then media folders without any luck. Eventually and many experiments later I found that if I copied ...

Will Do, Thanks for all your help!

Ah! What confused me is you said it "pops the message immediately after the save". Sorry bad wording on my part Is there anything 'different' about the Projects that get the error message? Not that I am aware of. Is their Project folder in the same location as the Projects that are OK? i....

I think you are describing the Enter Backup File Name dialogue and its Save button. As soon as that button is clicked the dialogue closes and the error message appears. Is that correct? No, If I choose File-Backup/Restore (and dont need to save anything) the popup with the Parameter Message is show...

if I choose backup from the file menu it pops the message immediately after the save ( save works fine by itself). If I do the backup when exiting the program, no message no backup. It just closes. I have checked external media and also Validate under File. Both are fine. I had 1 html and 2 pdf medi...

I keep getting "The Parameter is incorrect" message when I attempt either a Medium or Full backup on 2 of my projects. Small Backup works and I have 2 other projects that work fine for all 3 backup options.
Any suggestion where to begin solving this?

I would find it Very helpful to be able to reload Meta data from media files either one at a time or in batch. The same data currently used when dragging in an item. Possibly add a button on the Media window to read and one to write? you could just apply it to what ever was highlighted, either 1 fil...

I asked this on FB but it was suggested I ask here, so a cut and paste. I want to drag photos (headstones) to people and have FH fill in the info it pulls from the meta. I have a few problems. Most of the time the image and thumbnail load and once in a great while the thumbnail wont ( X'ed out) but ...
