    1. [FHU] Transferring Project settings
    2. John Payne
    3. I have recently updated from XP to Windows 8.1, I have installed Family Historian in C Program Files (x86) and installed my full Project in the Document Folder, my object is to tidy up so that all sub folders are located within a sub folder, possibly the Public folder in the Project folder, for instance within the Family Historian C Program folder I have the following folders Program, Fact Types, Property Box, etc, also individual Gedcoms and files relating to Family Historian. Can perhaps Mike advise me if this is feasible. I appreciate that the introduction of creating a Project was a great step forward, but separating the locations makes editing less straightforward.

    3. John, Please see the FHUG Knowledge Base > Family Historian > Installation Guide: http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to:index#installation_guide This discusses what is in the C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\ folder. DO NOT EVER TOUCH ANY FILES IN THE C:\Program Files(x86)\ folder. These are the installation files and settings for Family Historian. There are Family Historian files and settings in more places than I suspect you realise. However, NONE of them can be relocated, but many can be exported to the Project's Public folder. See the FHUG Knowledge Base > Family Historian > Understanding the Scope of Features: http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to:understanding_scope_of_features What I advise is that you use the Plugin "Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings". This saves a copy of all the above settings in your Project folder for ease of backup and restore.
