Re: Searching the FHUG site
Curiouser and curiouser: If I search on Windows 10 fact (even without the quotes) I get ignored: windows 10 , but get lots of hits, but most of them do not include windows 10 , I think it pics up the items it does because fact is also in the text and in this case because windows was in the same post...

Re: FH Charts
This is an age old problem common to all genealogy programs, some people like easy to follow diagrams which often means more "white space" and others a more concise and reduced amount of paper, but can be cluttered. I like to work and share "virtually" so like large page pdfs tha...

Re: Using How Related
I think FH resets itself after every start, as with most things in FH, such as window sizes. I think how related (HR) always starts with the root person (select the person > edit tab > File root > select). Having got your name list (with or without the root person), just delete names until you are l...

Searching the FHUG site
Searching the forum. I've noticed when searching the forum that if you want to use a common item you get the message: The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: windows 10. You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at le...

Re: Fact Types - Copy, Rename, Naming Rules
Tatewise, thanks again for the explanation: - I suspect they just came over from TMG. - The Gedcom really does have the # and mixed case letters. - the Fact Set is a custom one and not <undefined>. I think originally I just edited the fact type and put in a new fact set. Or perhaps V5 much more rela...

Re: Fact Types - Copy, Rename, Naming Rules
Lorna, thanks for that re [1] non alpha chars; very interesting (how did I not remember that post!); looks like it is a new restriction for V6, but V6 still honours old fact types and my Gedcom still has in it things like: 1 EVEN 2 TYPE #Brief 2 NOTE [teacher] and in FH the Fact Type and label are b...

Fact Types - Copy, Rename, Naming Rules
I thought I had done all this before, but possibly not! I can only imagine when I originally imported my data from TMG, I did it while tidying up. [1] I tried to create a new fact type beginning with #, and I got "invalid name.....alpha only .....", yet I already have many beginning with #...

Re: Child Count Diagram Options + Box Shadow for just one si
Thanks for the correction/ suggestion, the TextIf works fine, (my previous post was wrong I actually tried =(%INDI.NCHI% = 0) . Yes, keeping it all together in the Child Count sounds nice and probably more flexible even if it requires a bit more "code". As regards portability though, from ...

Re: Child Count Diagram Options + Box Shadow for just one si
I was afraid that might be the answer, just hoping there was a way around it! Thanks for the 2 extra suggestions: <> box scheme would work, but would be no better than a shadow, but would be useful if the shadow was already in use. But I am already using different box styles elsewhere. <> I like the...

Child Count Diagram Options + Box Shadow for just one side.
I am experimenting with Child Count with a view to placing a marker on a diagram, initially where there are No or most Likely No children of an individual. (1) I used the diagram options > general tab > no-offspring marker this worked fine, EXCEPT - if the FAM child count is set to zero, only the sp...

Re: Incorporating PDFs into project
This topic has come up before (try a forum search) and I'm hoping someone can come up with a better answer as in the future I would find it useful myself. One option would be to convert the PDFs to pictures or extract the pictures (certs etc) from the pdf, but that takes away the ability to search t...

Re: Auto import of image metadata
perhaps an option for one or the other or both Sounds like a good idea to me Jim! Let FH users tell FH how they are entering metadata, i.e. tell FH in Media Preferences to use EXIF or IPTC, user's choice, if one way doesn't work for them they need to choose the other option. Is that what you meant?...

very interesting thread - "better a bad/outdated but accepted standard, than a myriad of good ones", mmm, that reminds me of GEDCOM.

Re: Auto import of image metadata
FH might use "external" software for image manipulation and to get at the data, if so, knowing that might "be of interest", if not Calico Pie might let you know exactly what fields it is looking for and there is a possibility that Photoshop could be made to populate those fields ...

Re: Auto import of image metadata
Gordon, re your experiments with where to apply your metadata, as I said before different programs use it differently, photoshop might have its default for storing the data differently to Windows, if it reads windows metadata, it might then save it "as it found it". If you look around the ...

Re: Auto import of image metadata
Apol, this keyed on a small device,
Just a thought, are you using old dates e.g. 1800s? Would that create a problem as I don,t think windows caters before a certain date.

Re: Auto import of image metadata
Gordon Metadata/ EXIF data is a great idea but often inconsistent between products, especially so for pictures. I found in the past that Windows explorer was inconsistent with many products but it looks like FH uses the Windows format (after Tim's post) and I suspect from my past dalliances that Pho...
