I don't think it is a bug, just something that has been overlooked. In all the other places where you can suppress the quoted names, this is done separately for each type of report. The setting in a Descendant report is set separately from in an Ancestors report or a Descendant Narrative report.
Charting is just another form of report. In the same way this function should be one of the tick boxes on Appearance>Box items>Item options. Charting does honour Short location names, why not Quoted names. I have previously put this forward as a suggestion on 2 Mar 2009, 8 Jun 2009, 14 Mar 2010, and again today. Perhaps we will get a positive response this time! Boyd -----Original Message----- From: Dennis M.

The fact that >it does not do so makes this a bug report, not an enhancement request!!! My definition of "bug" is "not working as designed". This is an age old argument that can't be resolved in this thread without seeing the requirements that were handed to the programmer before he/she started. If the requirements document didn't mention it, then it is an enhancement. Brian is in the best position to know this. Besides, if you report it as a "bug", Brian will probably enter it in MANTIS as an "enhancement" anyway. ;-) I would not consider Legacy Charting as "integral". It is not available in standard Legacy V7, is it? I think of it as one of the add-on programs that just happens to be bundled with deluxe Legacy. >And I'm betting that's not the only Legacy option that is totally >ignored by Charting. I am sure you are right. The same goes for other Legacy add-ons. Legacy Charting Companion does not honor quoted given names, short location names, etc. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
