Although I don't use administrator mode on my PC. Maybe FH does.

It worked. Thanks very much. I was pretty sure I had closed and restarted after the new version, but maybe not.

Thanks Mike. I will try a restart.

Until recently when I had a new photo for a person in my tree, I would open the media tab for the person and drag the photo into FH. Now I get a round black circle with a diagonal bar across it. I have to use the Add Media button to bring them in. This is a recent change although I can't recall if i...

I don't know if this helps, but I tend to use left to right layout rather than top down which feels easier to scroll around.

Thanks for the additional info. I was trying to remember the phrase regular expressions! I have reported it.

Thanks very much Mike, I will report it. I am now curious as to why there needs to be a search and replace plugin - does it have more powerful search parameters? It wasn't Durham actually I just used that as an example.

Hi. I was trying to replace two spaces by one space in some of my entries. In the example which follows please note I have not entered the # characters, I have just used a # below to show where I have entered the space character. I can search for ##Durham and I get a list of fields containing that i...

Hi Lorna

Thanks very much. And now I know that it actually makes sense

An example of this problem. I have a Baptism fact. Date: 1 May 1909 Place: Black Notley, nr Braintree, Essex And a Burial fact. Date: 21 Dec 1976 Place: St Peter ad Vincula Anglican, Coggeshall, Essex The descendants narrative report produces these sentences (I have not amended the standard fact sen...

I like proved at probate. And have used it, hope it wasn't copyrighted!

A minor point but I have always wondered why the standard probate fact sentence is "{individual} had {his/her} estate probated". Rather than "{his/her} estate was probated". It is easy to change and I have done so, but the use of "had" in the current standard implies th...

Maybe the forum needs a new tag - Gigastar?

Probably me being dumb, but won't that omit the sentence for first cousins, and others who would be the same generation?

Thanks. Will do.

And I just saw your other reply, you of course make good points .

Hi Mike. It works fine and was easy to add. Thanks. A bit of feedback in case it helps others. In the Descendants by Generation report the generation test also cuts out a lot of first (and no doubt other) cousins from having their relationship described. So I just used the text function without the ...

Thanks Mike. Good news about the project specific approach, I will do that. On what I said about the Reports dropdown, I meant it would be nice to have this as an Option, say on the narrative report's Options Main Tab where you can for instance tick the box to add Notes, you could click a box to add...

Mike. An implementation question. I have 3 FH projects. Will this amendment apply to all projects, or just the project I amended it in? And a supplementary, is there something in the GEDCOM definition that forbids this relationship to root from being an attribute or fact that we could simply add fro...

Hi Mike. wow!. Luckily I used to be a computerr programmer, but even so with my fat fingers it will take a while to get right. Thanks very much. Ian

Hi Mike. And now a reply to your question. I think it would inded be best after the 'was born' sentence. Good question about close relatives, and it would be a little redundant in those cases, but I could live with it. I can see how it could be done in diagrams and will try it out. I would be really...

Mike. Thanks very much. Sorry for the repetition, I wasn't sure it would be spotted buried in another item. Ian

Hi. Is it possible to add the relationship-to-root attribute to each person so that it appears in narrative reports, and on diagrams? So that for each person in the report it would say what their relationship to the root person was? The text in a report would be something like "Joseph Smith is ...

Hi. Is there a way to have this included in narrative reports please? So each person's description would include something like "grandfather of..." or "second cousin once removed of..." Thanks.
