These extra export Rules offer alternative Action options for advanced users. The set of Rules vary for each FH version.
These settings are remembered independently for the (+) Full Data and (-) Brief Data option of each GEDCOM Destination.
Each Rule choice gives its Title with the custom tag involved, and the drop-list offers the alternative Actions available.
Tags with %u allow an upper case letter in that position, and those with %d allow any digit.
The tags starting with %d can apply to any level digit from 1 – 9 unless the name starts with an underscore ( _ ) then level 1 is excluded.
The codes in parentheses identify the default Actions for each GEDCOM Destination.
The initial default settings can be restored by using the Reset these … Options button, which only affects the settings shown.
The four tick options offer the following features:-
- Tidy Places & Addresses tidies comma & space separators in Place & Address fields and may cause popup warnings
- Export Fact Definitions allows Tools > Fact Type definitions to be included in the GEDCOM
- Insert Synthetic Prefix governs the Ω (ZZ) prefix on synthesised Events and Records
- Avoid Repeat Captions omits duplicate Link/Note Caption Note text in Media Records
Export Fact Definitions in another Language
If the Tools > Preferences > International > Default Output Language selects a Language Pack then the associated Language Variant defined Fact Set takes precedence when the Export Fact Definitions option is ticked. The Standard facts should already have Language Variant definitions. Use the Tools > Fact Types… > Edit… > Go To Language Variant… feature for the required language to define Sentence, Summary and Fact Witness Role templates for any custom facts.
Fact Witness Role Options
The custom shared Fact Witness roles feature is governed by the Witness Role 2 _SHA%u: setting.
Keep the custom tags for products that support them, or remove them entirely if fact witnesses are not required in the destination product.
Otherwise:
-
- Move to Fact Note Max uses the local Note of the principal fact to list all the witness roles & names, and for each witness person creates a custom fact using the principal fact & witness role labels with a local Note listing the principal name and all the witness roles & names.
- Move to Fact Note Min creates the same as above but the witness person custom facts only list the principal name.
See the Labels Set A tab options for the Witness Role, Principal & Family labels used in the local Note lists.
For some destination products, the local Note list of witness names can use hyperlinks that open their records, and may need the online tree name to be specified in the Project Header record Receiving System field such as TNG: tree2 or TNG=family3.
Templated Source Options
Custom templated source citation conversion is governed by the Templated Source 1 _SRCT: setting.
For each option, except Keep Templated Source, any Source record Repository metafield is copied to a generic Repository link.
-
- Convert to Notes ~ Each Source Template becomes a linked Note record; except if the Labels Set B tab Source Template label is blank the record is deleted.
The Footnote, Short Footnote & Bibliography are saved as Source record labelled Note entries but Citation-specific metafields in the Format are ignored.
If the Labels Set B tab Footnote, Short Footnote or Bibliography labels are blank then those Note entries are omitted.
Each Source & Citation metafield becomes a labelled local Note entry.
This option increases the Record Id for new Source and Source Template records but can be reversed after closing the plugin by using the Edit > Undo Plugin Updates command as advised in the Basic Options tab Closing Memo. - Remove entirely ~ Each Source Template and each Source & Citation metafield are deleted completely.
- Keep Templated Source ~ Each Source Template and each Source & Citation metafield are retained unaltered.
- Footnote to Title ~ The Convert to Notes option above applies. Also, each Source generic Title is moved to the generic Short Title and the Footnote becomes the generic Title. Style codes are included in the Title if supported by the GEDCOM Destination product.
- Convert to Notes ~ Each Source Template becomes a linked Note record; except if the Labels Set B tab Source Template label is blank the record is deleted.
See the Basic Options tab, Other Options tab, Labels Set A/B tabs, GEDCOM Destination advice and Frequently Asked Questions for further details.
