Re: when saving decendants chart as pdf

Follow up question.
When saving anything as a PDF, the PDF Dialogue box opens annoyingly every time at Top Left of my very wide screen!
Is there any way to change this so that selected position sticks (ideally in centre of screen)?

Re: Idividual Summary Report Issue

Quick follow up question. I have set Record to %INDI.REF% - %INDI.NAME:ADORNED_FULL% etc e.g So header reads J00144 - David BAILEY (1797-1862) - which is fine I would like the J00144 (i.e. INDI.REFN) to appear top right of the page, instead of date. I just can't figure out what data reference to use...

Re: when saving decendants chart as pdf

What I do in situations like this, is to start to save it again, and see where it will be saved to. Then abandon the save and go to the location.

Re: {'statusCode':400,'error':'Bad Request','message':'Invalid cookie header'

Out of interest, you might like to know that I have been having trouble with cookies from FMP lately. I used to stay logged on for weeks at a time, but recently, FMP regularly asks me to confirm cookies, despite not logging out. This never used to happen, once logged in, that was it. FMP (or my Fire...

Re: Options for 'How Related Report'

Support ticket #142386 has been raised. Primarily to supply a Help button to this dialogue box to explain what the various options apply to, (along with reason for the scroll bar on right). I've left it to CP to decide if the option button could apply to report (or Graphics) at same time, but I thin...

Re: Options for 'How Related Report'

The Show Life Dates button and the Show Record Ids button both affect what is shown in the box immediately above them, which gives the summary of the relationship. However, I agree that they don't affect the contents of the report. Maybe they should. It might be worth raising that with CP. That mak...

Pardon my ignorance, but aren’t these choices the report options? What other options are there and where are they?

Re: Options for 'How Related Report'

Jane, it ought to be obvious, but in fact ‘show life dates’ doesn’t change the report one iota. In my experience, life dates are shown regardless of this option being enabled or disabled, hence the post :D

Options for 'How Related Report'

In the How Related dialogue box, I have selected the two people I need in the report, and am trying to work out what the various options do, but 'Show Life Dates' seems to do nothing! There is no help button on the dialogue box to explain the options, and despite a quick look at the knwledgebase, no...

Re: Data cleanup

Another way, is to add everyone to a named list called for example ‘still to be checked’, then as people are checked, remove them from the list.

There could be someone that has some box above the name and would get upset if the cursor didn't go to their first box. John, I’m not complaining about cursor not going to the name field, but the inconsisrency. One scenario has cursor going to top field, the other to the name field, which may not b...

Re: Bug? Adding Spouse

Yes. I tried to mirror top half of property box for the spouse in the bottom half. It is a shame that the childrens portion at the very bottom isn't customisable too. I'd love to see place of birth alongside date of birth, there is certainly enough real estate, even just the town name would help whe...

If one adds a spouse by clicking Add/Wife Partner from the focus window, it adds an individual property box, with cursor in the Name field, (ignoring my Custom ID field) ready to start entering Individual's details. However, if I add a spouse by clicking Add Spouse/Partner from Property box, it adds...

Data references for a marriage

I have a man who married twice, with a separate GRO sources for each marriage. I have an indivudual query listing all marriages and their sources, but the GRO reference for 2nd wife’s marriage is showing the GRO reference for husband’s first marriage not her marriage which was his second.

Re: Julian calendar dates at end of a century

Re: [Wish List Entry 617] Amend Add media Dialogue box

I agree with Miketate. Amend the 2nd entry to ‘Resizing and repositioning’ of preview pane.
That way users would be able to set it to the left, right or centre, as they see fit. That should satisfy everyone. :D

Re: Amend Add media Dialogue box

I don't disagree. Presumably the image pane is positioned there to allow a longer of list of Media records to select from. The OK button still needs fixing to be consistent with other dialogues. I guess you realise that when a righthand pane selected record is highlighted then its image is shown in...

Mike, whilst that may stop the error messages, it doesn't stop one thinking a record has been selected , when it hasn't. If one were adding more than one media record, the OK button would immediately become active after the first record was selected. Whereas the 2nd record may still be in the previe...

Re: Ancestry Discount

Adrian, that’s good.
Shame I’ve only recently renewed my 6 month subscription. As RS3100 said, I just hope it’s still around come time to renew in December :D
Out of interest, if one cancels a subscription ( to stop automatic renewal), does it stop straight away, or when subscription period ends?
