There is, how ever, a work around, and that is to create your own file from
scratch. If you look at the existing timeline files which you will find in your
Legacy folder>Timelines – open this folder, select the language and you will
see that they are simply text files which can be opened in any text editor and
which use “|” for the end of field and “{\n}” for the end of a record.
Just write the list which you require and save the text file in the appropriate
language folder. I actually prefer to use this method rather than the Legacy
option, which is probably why I had not spotted the bug.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Timelines to download
Hello all who very kindly responded. I was truly not aware of the Timelines
editor. And when I was told about it, went there with great hopes for a
timeline of the various composer's lives as well as the ones I mentioned in my
other posts.
OK so far, I've entered a Description for the file, but when I click on "Save",
the program just locks up and I have to kill it & reload it. This has happened
numerous times in the past day or so.   Nothing seems to have been effected
or injured by the crash when I reload it and, during the time it's locked up
other programs seem to work normally.
For those who know about such things I have a small indicator of CPU usage that
sits in the System Tray (lower right of the screen) and though I don't always
pay attention to it, I have noticed that when the "lock-up" occurs it jumps up
to about 92 to 97% usage. It must be in a loop or such.
Thanks again for all the help, I promise to try to be more observant in the
future,
Perk (:>)

Thanks Ellen,
I guess what I'm looking for are additional timeline files, some that would
be a bit more specific such as the wars that Finland fought against the
Soviet Union (and lost all of them (:>)) and the various battles in our own
Revolutionary War.
As I see it the one in Finnish (Soumi) is only a listing of the leaders and
presidents. Failing finding a download, could one do the research as to the
dates and make and install their own?  I think it's only a text (.txt)
file.
Thanks again for the quick response,
Perk (:>)
