I have not had any delay issues with AS at all. The only other issue I have is with the size of the thumbcache file (Which was 1.5Gb before I found out how to work round it for dropbox) Mind you my Laptop is an i7 with 12Gb Ram and the desktop is an i5 with 12Gb ram Might possibly be spec of laptop...

That's a rather large project John. Although if I was to combine my four grandparent's projects together, the total number of Individual Records would be currently 58360, albeit currently with considerably fewer media as I am working my way updating the projects. I chose to keep them split into four...

After some experimenting I can safely say that my small project is oK with snapshot management on, it is only the large project that crashes with snapshot management on, but is OK when it is switched off. Is the snapshot problem related to the number of Individual Records or Media Records? One of m...

Thanks Mike, suspected there wouldn't be. For me the fact it only shows the 1st media item isn't really an issue. All I have that column configured for is to double check I've linked media to the Source Records, not how many. Until recently the fact you can't check for Citation Media that way wasn't...

I've had a search but can't find anything on this other than the normal way to customise the columns which I have already been using. I have added the Media Image column to the Source Records Window, which obviously shows Source Record Media. I'm wondering if its possible to customise this so that i...

As Lorna says, there is unlikely to be any universal agreement over the yellow pane. I also use a mixture of Method 1 and Method 2, but consider the yellow pane to be only for Sources unless the "Where within Source" has some text entered in it (which obviously relates to a Citation). Now ...

True Lorna. Something is obviously not working correctly to deselect the Source/Citation, unless you close the pane, when you click on the Facts Show Media.

Yes, it is a bug/mistake. The code is looking at Fact Media %FACT.OBJE% whereas it should be looking at Source Media %FACT.SOUR>OBJE%. It does still show the correct Source Media rather than the Fact Media. Another slight problem I have found is that after using the Show Media button in the yellow ...

Mike, the cog does show for some Source Record Media (I don't have any media against Citations), but it is pretty random. I've tried more than one tree file and several people in each tree. Edit: I've some individuals where it shows for all Facts that have Source Media, and others where it shows for...

The list of new features for 6.1.3 says: Users who prefer to view media in the workspace Media Window, can now use a new menu button on the Source Citation pane toolbar to do so. You can also use the same menu to open media in an editor/player. Both options are disabled if there is no source citati...

I've also not had any problems with the resetting of custom config options and I too do like the media changes, especially the option to add source media immediately from the same place as creating the source record.

Vista drivers worked on Win7 where there was no Win7 driver available. I suspected something similiar between Win8 and Win10 would exist too. That said when I upgrade my Network to Win 7 from XP using a completely new install, it used generic windows drivers contained in the installation and I didn'...

I came across references to GWX Control Panel when googling to try and fix Windows Update alerts which had disappeared from the task bar on Win7 a few months ago. For that, an alternative to GWX is to enable a setting in the PC's Local Security Policy but obviously that's slightly more technical tha...

NickiP , you can get to the media image quicker than that using the current V6.1.2 features as I explained a few postings ago. 1. Click the new Show Media button in Sources For pane. 2. In Citation Media... double-click any thumbnail to open Media record window. 3. Click green triangular button to ...

Viewing Source Media in 6.1.2 There is another way which, if a slight modification was introduced by Calico Pie, which could reduce the number of clicks to view a media file in both the Source Record window and a native player down to 2 or 3 clicks. At the moment: 1. Click "Go to Source Record...

Sorry Darren but while FTM may recommend that Source Citations are used to link to Media, they do provide the facility to create a Source Record without any citations, add Media directly to the Source Record and then link Individual Facts to that Source. The same way that FH Source Records behave. I...

If I'm looking at (for example), a census fact I just want to be able to view the image of that census page with a click of one button like I can on a PC without this new update installed. I don't want to have to click a different tab (thus losing my view of the fact) and look down a list of source...

Perhaps another way to improve the Add Source/Citation and their Media would be to have a Source Tab in the Focus Window, as with the Main, Facts, Notes, Media and All. The yellow Show Sources button on the toolbar could then become an Add Source/Citation to create them from the Facts Tab, something...

Limiting the Add Media in the Facts Tab to only Facts Media or Citation Media is all very well, but means those who add Source Media manually would still have to go to the Source Record after the Source is created to add media. The Add Source Record though the Facts Tab doesn't provide the option to...

The Fact Media window shows Facts media and allows via tick box both Source media and/or Citation media to show. The Add button relates to Facts media only, just as the Citation media window in its current form only allows to Add Citation media. Don't see the need for the Add button on Facts Media ...

Lorna as I said in my response to Nick's post, the one previous to yours, I also use on occasions Source Show Media to view these. I just don't think Mike's suggestion of completely designing the Facts Show Media is the solution and do feel its a knee jerk reaction to the changes that have been made...

Nick I know AS has nothing to do with this, other than I suspect those complaining about the increased number of clicks to Show Media for Sources don't actually create Sources in FH but use AS. It was Mike that raised the issue of whether I understood about AS and adding Sources. My response was to ...

Please read what I described carefully again. It would add NO EXTRA CLICKS to Add Media button to add a Media to a Fact . The drop-list options as I see it would be: Insert Fact Media From File same as current Insert Media From File Link Fact to Existng Media Record same as current Link to Existng ...

Mike I'm sorry but that would not be leaving the Show Media on the Facts tab as it currently is and for people like me who use the Show Media on the Facts tab heavily to add and edit media, that completely changes the way it works and would mean we end up using considerably more clicks. We are estab...

The Fact Media window shows Facts media and allows via tick box both Source media and/or Citation media to show. The Add button relates to Facts media only, just as the Citation media window in its current form only allows to Add Citation media. Don't see the need for the Add button on Facts Media w...
