ROOTSMAGIC 8 NEW FEATURES UPGRADE
The latest upgrade contains 46 new and improved features, and 7 bug fixes. Fixed.įamily Historian is continuously being enhanced with new features and improvements to existing features.
The ‘TextPart’ function could give incorrect results if used with a language pack. Family Historian could crash when certain data types were cast as boolean values. to clarify the role of strings with the fhLoadTextFile and fhSaveTextFile functions. Various minor improvements have been made to the Plugin Help – e.g.
The fhSaveTextFile and fhLoadTextFile API functions now both support ‘ANSI’ as a file format.The text returned by some built-in functions (like ‘GetLabelledText’) was sometimes truncated if long.Various additions and improvements have been made to the Help.Application startup should now be faster.This situation was not being properly supported. It is possible to specify a column expression that is valid in some projects but not in others.
Family Historian backup files now have their own file type (“Family Historian Backup File”) and file icon (a filing cabinet icon).Some non-English accent characters were not being capitalised correctly.If place parts begin with a hyphen in TMG, the hyphen is removed on import, as it has no role in Family Historian.Media items flagged as primary were not necessarily highest preference after import.Fact definition processing with respect to sentence templates, previously assumed that each fact definition would have no more than 50 expressions.Line-breaks inside URLs were not being handled correctly.Descriptions for events are now copied to the start of the note field (for attributes they become the attribute value).ĭirect Import from The Master Genealogist.The direct import from Legacy now correctly handles Legacy quarter dates.
If you enabled automatic source citations and added alternate names and titles in the ‘More Names’ dialog, the automatic source citations were not applied to the alternate names or titles. In some cases, the cursor would move to the start of the field. The position of the cursor was not always retained if you were editing a note, and switched to another application and back. Also, you can now create links to Note records for citations, if you wish to, on the same tab. The Notes tab of the Citation Window did not previously show links from the citation to Note records (if any). In some situations, the wrong source information could be displayed in the Citation List pane. If the Citation List pane was floating, it could become docked as a side-effect of customizing the Citation Window, and in other situations. The behaviour of the Media Window following an undo/redo was sometimes unintuitive. When selecting media to display in the Media Window, if you opted to include media linked to facts, media linked to witnessed facts were not included. Images in reports and books were not always rotated correctly, using the internal EXIF rotation data. Also, if there isn’t room for all of the buttons, a ‘More’ button will appear with a dropdown menu, making it easier to access the missing functions. The panels on the right side of the Report Window and Book Window, have been enhanced to use space more efficiently, if the window is resized, or if font sizes are changed. Support for name qualifiers with some role codes (in sentence templates for narrative reports), was added in a recent release, but was not working as intended. Following the last update, the “Save Report as” button in the Report Window, and the “Save Book as” button in the Book Window, both stopped working.
