Apologies for two posts so close together, but as these are on unrelated topics I wanted to keep them in separate threads.

I’ve just tried running the family report and the highlight images are not displaying, even if I select ‘show images’.

Looking at the XML file for the report, it seems the code which outputs the images is missing. I’ve added this back in my own XML file and the images are now appearing.

<if condition="$photos==1">
	<highlightedimage left="$pwidth" width="80"></highlightedimage>
</if>

Not sure if this was intentional, or the code was accidentally removed?

I think Nigel is working with all the reports atm. And as I have read it – most of the reports will be changed alot far away from what it was/is.

Intentional. In fact the code you show has never existed. There is however this code:

<if condition="$photos==1">
	<!– This is an image not a text, so don't use text padding
	Reset also the last height after all the images has been printed
	set pagecheck to 0, the image function check is too
	and "trick" the X-position back to the margin with a newline –>
	<textbox left="$pwidth" newline="1" pagecheck="0" padding="0" reseth="1" width="80">
		<repeattag tag="OBJE">
			<image file="@FILE" width="80" ln="N"></image>
		</repeattag>
	</textbox>
</if>

The photos option was only ever intended to display the images attached to the FAM record, not the individuals, as far as I can tell. I assume that logic was becasue it is a Family report. There is another version for Individuals (now Resources > Individual report).

However, Jamie is right. I will not be looking at any changes or bug fixes for these ancient and ugly (IMHO) reports. Their replacements are well underway. Many already done in 3.2.3, currently under the Resources menu item. The rest will be done for 3.2.4 (only two left as at today). At that time the Reports menu as it is now will disappear and Resources will be renamed to be Reports.
