A word of warning with this idea. With some help from Mike Tate I was able to create a Plugin that set the 'Preferred' flag on Birth and Death. This makes them easy to spot in the Facts tab - just

Mike Thank you. Those links were exactly what I needed. It can be embarrassing to miss something like that but I had searched the forum for an answer but my search criteria obviously missed it. I was

Edward, I am not sure that I understand what you are really trying to do. A record flag has two settings; set or unset. To manually set a record flag for a person, on their Property window, under

I am trying to teach myself how to write plugins so sorry in advance if my questions are basic. I wanted to be able to update values of fields in my project and I have been trying setting flags. I

Yes it is odd Mike, as FH will even open the gedpkj file and you can extract the .ged file, and the import is the same as extracting the .ged first, then importing. I have zipped the .ged file up and

Douglas, I have just used FH V7 to successfully import as a New Project the James Horn family tree info.ged file found inside your ZIP file from Dropbox. FH only reported a handful of issues plus

Hi Chad, Thanks for the offer. It was the unzipped gedcom file from within the pkg file that i was trying to load into FH. The information from other members would suggest that this file is only

Mike Your advice was, as always, extremely helpful. Exactly what I needed. Thanks Mike

Is it not quicker to just type in the first 3 or 4 letters of the surname, and 3 or 4 letters of the first name in the Records Window, if you are just looking for a person? Then select them from

I tend to use the Find dialog only to find people by name. A minor irritation (to me) is removing the ticks against the five "Look" in options which I do not want. I know that I am only gaining a

The option is similar for any type of Diagram but depends on which Notes you want and what else you want displayed in the boxes. With the Diagram displayed, use Diagram > Options… and open the Text

When viewing the “all relatives diagram” I would like to be able to see the notes stored on the individual property table. At the moment I can only see the “facts”. Is there a setting for
