* Re: CREATE SOURCE TEMPLATE DEFINITIONS v1.0

[Gary_G]

Is there a way to "promote" less than the full set of imported & converted RootsMagic templates in FH7?
At the moment, it appears that the plugin only imports all templates from the imported project.
I'm trying to pull just a few from each of several imported projects in an effort to standardize my set templates.
Realizing that modifying plugins is not a two-second task, I'm willing to try to do it manually if there is a way.

It should be possible to create a Copy of the Project and delete the Source Template records that are not required as Definitions. Then run the plugin on the copied & edited Project. Finally, delete the Copy of the Project.
Repeat for each imported RM Project.

Thanks, Mike.
I've only 4-5 projects to import, so it's "do-able".

Another tool you may find useful is this old FHUG plugin that tabulates all your available Source Template Definitions to give you an overview of what is available and the ability to easy find similar templates.

As it happens, this is next on my list of potentially useful FHUG plugins for processing. I will add an improved user interface and more tailored selection of user-defined collections, and upload to the Plugin Store over the next few days.

Thank you Mark. I look forward to seeing the updated version. It will make things so much easier.

I appreciate you posting a reference to the Tabulate Source Template Definition plugin. It will help me get my head around the issue of standardizing things a bit.
