That makes sense, and better than super events for sure. And, what do you know, the event clipboard is right there like you said. I know why I missed it though, I was trying to copy off the event list like I can on the source list, and there is no option to do so there. All is well with this issue now.
On the other hand, the problem with photos on the vital events is worse than I thought. I was able to add a special photo event just so I could get my photos to show up on the descendant narrative report I've been working on, and though I hate how it reads, it is working. Maybe I can come up with a cleaver event scheme for it so that I can strip it out with regular expressions in an rtf document. That would at least let me hack around the narrative report. BUT, after adding these special events, I've discovered that *some* of the vital event photos are showing on other reports, in which case I get duplicates!!! No regular expression can help me there I'm pretty sure. The FGS report, for one, is showing both birth and burial event photos, but not marriage. Given this then, I take it that the SOP for photos in vital events is to NOT USE THEM as they are unreliable in how they are used (if at all) throughout the application. Legacy, I'd rather on any given issue it suck all the way or not at all. A mish-mash of suckieness is the hardest of all situations to build hacks for. Have you never commented / committed to looking into this issue? What say you? Can we ever expect this to be corrected???
