Yes, "little use" is the phrase that comes to my mind, too, especially since we already can very easily duplicate events with the clipboard and THEN even make minor adjustments to the notes on one or more individuals if we so desire. Hmm... Hoping there is more to v8. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams

There will be little use for it if there isn’t an option to just export the shared events as a bunch of individual (unshared) events. That would be a simple process. -----Original Message----- From: Ward Walker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, 2 August 2013 10:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] ? about the new shared even feature It is a common problem, but I think that it is one that Millennia should seriously consider providing an optional workaround. Information will be lost. Legacy should include an option on export to unlink the shared events into separate, standard events in the GEDCOM. By not doing so, it forces Legacy users to consider avoiding this new feature if we ever expect to share data with relatives who do not use Legacy. I see this as similar to the problem with SourceWriter sources. Legacy should have an option to reformat the source citation so that it makes sense when converted into a Basic source in the GEDCOM. In general, proprietary features are great, as long as there is always an optional way to mash them into the current, inadequate GEDCOM standard.
