Marli, Ltools is a product which is written by a Legacy user to provide additional functionality which for one reason or another Legacy have not chosen to incorporate into their own product. Although initially written for the author’s own use, many of the tools have been introduced at the request of Legacy users. Some, for example, the HTML routine overcomes a number of bugs in the Legacy Pedigree web pages and incorporates CSS to replace HTML attributes, that alone is worth $10 for the deluxe edition (the basic addition is free).
A few of the functions are what may be regarded as a more specialised interest, which Legacy is most unlikely ever to incorporate. It is not the only add-on for Legacy, btw., indeed, Legacy has a number on their own website, but not LTools. This post is really off- topic as LTools is not a Legacy product, so my apologies, there is an Ltools Forum and I recommend visiting http://zippersoftware.com/wp/ltools/what-is-ltools/ Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ From: Marli Yoder Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 12:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] LTools Question- why do we have an add on for Legacy of tricks (LTools) that was not incorporated by Legacy themselves? And how do I see what all LTools can do with out buying so I can decide if we really need it? (Computer illiterate person here!) I downloaded the part for Find-A-Grave, and it worked, but was slow. (Probably my computer, not the program) Thanks Marli Yoder A & M Farms Eureka & Sturgeon Missouri APHA, AQHA & IBHA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Tony Rolfe <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, January 30, 2012 11:39:22 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] untag non-blood relatives Ah, cracked it now. The advanced Tagging feature of LTools has an ancestors plus option and setting the "Generations from trunk" to something huge and including spouses, seems to tag all blood relations attached to the ancestor side.
