I like it, except for the fact we can't minimize the film strip, as we can on Ancestry. On a laptop screen it takes up too much space. I do use the film strip, so want to to stay, just want control over viewing it. I gather many FMP users have given FMP that feedback - let's hope they tweak it in response.

I agree. That was my immediate thought too.
