Yes, this is interesting. I had started to do this hence I realised the table was not being formatted with conventional html tags. I have set up a note with examples of bold, underline, italic and strikethrough plus the table. The tags pass through to Evernote OK it seems but gets rendered as <b>Fir...

OK, I don't want to drag you down a rabbit hole, but here is what I have found. URLs get exported from FH as <web="https://www.ancestry.com/","Ancestry.com"> rather than <a href="https://www.ancestry.com/">Ancestry.com</a> Tables as: <table="7865|1715|1265"> <...

Well, that works. Thank you. However, the parts of the Research Note that were in Rich Text have been converted to raw text i.e. like html source with tags. Are there any other alternative methods that might preserve the formatting? Like being able to convert from RFT to HTML? If I use GetPlainText(...

OK, that gets that error out of the way, but now it takes a disliking to 'gsub' in:

So I gave this a try. Is there maybe some global setting required for lua to make this work? I get the error:

In the plugin there is a section of XML to generate the content for the export. There is a block as follows: <h3>Comment</h3> <div>{INDI._RNOT[1]>TEXT| | }</div> This finds the correct field but only returns the text of the first line. Clearly, I need to use one of these FTF functions to extract the...

Yes, I had looked at that page. It does not exactly tell me how to access the RTF (or FTF and they define it). %_RNOT.TEXT% is clearly the right starting point but it only returns the first line of the RTF block (the Research Note text area.)

Thanks. I should not have asked two questions in the same post...

Does anyone have an insight into the data references for RTF formatted notes?

Thanks,

Graham

I don't know whether this is a missing piece of functionality in V7. I am trying to look at modifying the Evernote plugin to work with Research Notes rather than individuals. It feels like identifying the required field names for the _ROTN tag is a bit hit or miss. So I turned to try and use the Dat...

I have modified the previous plugin so it now works with version 7. Testing though revealed some issues with Evernote. If you are familiar with the recent Evernote upgrade saga, this plugin needs Evernote 6 (Evernote Legacy) to be installed to work. Evernote had a major upgrade to their version 10 a...

Thank you, that is something to play with! I'll need to find a neater way to get into OneNote then.

The layout and functionality of our Research Notes now (not surprisingly) resemble Evernote and OneNote Notes and Pages. Especially now that we have RTF editing and the ability to link between Research Notes. I would like to consolidate all my research in one tool and I would prefer that to be FH. T...

Thank you. That's easy I had not paid attention to that option before!

So if I want to add a link to the "Repository :" it works if I just use plain text, but can you adapt it to work if it is a hyperlink, i.e. extracting the text?

Thanks,

Graham

Like many of us, I have been experimenting with Research Notes. I am quite impressed with the possibilities they offer. My task is to replace my previous us of "To Do" notes and ideally information I have previously held external to FH. If I create a new Research Note template I have some ...

David, yes it does.

Mike's last description is exactly how I use it. I have three "collector" sources one each for B, M & D. I have used it a long time like this as BMD data from the indexes is so readily available.

Graham

When I opened the updated plugin it picked up the three sources I had been using in version 6.

Graham

Thanks Mike.

Looking back I see now, effectively this is a fork hence why you have been updating and attaching to this thread. Perhaps it could just be added to the store as a 'new' plugin?

Graham

This plugin is one of my most frequently used (I have it on my Tools menu). As it is not in the Plugin Store is there a schedule for updating it to V7?

Thanks,

Graham

I also wondered if seeing a layout might inspire someone to have a go at an FH plugin too?

Gramps has an example here which produces an output like this.



Or you could try an Excel solution

Here is the finished product.

Thanks, Mike.

I wanted to get a histogram from my data to give me the profile of age at the birth of the last child. It just might help me clarify the probable mother of a child with no recorded birth event.

There is a custom query to show the age at the birth of the first child of a parent. Query:Individual ~ Age at Birth of First Child

How do I adapt it to show the age at the birth of the last child of a family?

Thanks.

Graham

Thanks for all your suggestions. They all seem viable workarounds. Do you think this should be an enhancement request for a future release? Having multiple undocked windows would make it more in line with other software.

Sometimes when investigating relationships I find myself endlessly switching between the Focus Window and the Records Window, This would be greatly reduced if two copies of the Focus Window could be viewed at the same time. You can already do this between single copies of the Focus and Records windo...
