That's correct - they never have. They import back as Basic sources. You don't lose anything, if you've exported using the Legacy option.
Note in the Master Source List or Assigned Sources List that there are no dots in front of the Source List Name. The dots indicate a SW source. You also lose Dates Modifed and Dates Added (you've created a new file when you import a gedcom so you get all new "Dates Added" as well as you lose the History List (no history in a new unused file). That's why gedcoms are *not* appropriate for backing up your Family File or sharing it with other Legacy users..... only for sharing your file with someone not using Legacy (or when required to upload to a website or create webpages using a third-party program or ..... but never Legacy to Legacy) Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 9:47 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > "Sherry/Support" <[email protected]> proclaimed: > >>It does if you're importing a Legacy created gedcom back into Legacy. >>All programs are different and what's in one program may not support >>the fields in another program. > > So SW sources exported as a Legacy GEDCOM will import back into Legacy > as SW sources?
