Greetings
I am currently reviewing the Chronology Tab in Legacy Version 8.0.0.439 Deluxe Edition and seek feedback on some suggested improvements I have, prior to submitting them: 1. (this probably should be classed as a bug) In the text displayed in the Info column for son and daughters birth events, the text specifying the parents of the child should include a space on either side of the "and" ie it currently displays, for example, "son of Thomas NorrisandJane Lambert." Rather than "son of Thomas Norris and Jane Lambert." (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself) 2. In the Event column, the event labels "Son Born" and Daughter born" should be changed to "Birth of Son" and "Birth of Daughter" to be consistent with other "Birth of." event labels (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself) 3. In the Event column, the event label "Death of Child" should be changed to "Death of Son" or "Death of Daughter" as appropriate to be consistent with separate identification of Son and daughter birth event labels (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself) 4. I would like the option to include the Events "Marriage of Son" and "Marriage of Daughter" in the Chronology view (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself) 5. (this probably should be classed as a bug) In the "Display Options." dialogue screen, "Include" tab, "Marriage Events" Section, the check box "Death of Husband" should be relabelled "Death of Spouse" 6. The order of columns should, as a minimum, be made consistent between Report Style and List Style Views (currently event and date columns are swapped around between views). Ideally, the ability for the user to select their own preferred Column order would be best, but short of that, I think the following order the next best solution: "Date" "Age" "Event" "Info" (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself) 7. In the Age column, the displayed age should be Right Justified (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself) 8. In the Date column, when the "Display dates with year first" checkbox is "Unchecked", the displayed date should be Right Justified so that the years of all events align to maximum extent possible (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself) 9. I would prefer the tilde "~" character to be removed from the calculated ages in the Age Columns (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself). That the age may be an approximation based on a calculation can be implied from the dates recorded and hence the ~ is somewhat redundant. 10. Include the ability to select a specific event displayed within the Chronology view and then open the "Edit Event" dialog box. After viewing editing the event and closing the "Edit Event" dialog, the user would return to an updated Chronology View (List Style only) (This functionality would be similar to that available in the Timeline section of the Overview tab on ancestry.com, which I like.) 11. Include the ability to select a specific event displayed within the Chronology view and then open the "Assigned Sources" dialog box to display the assigned sources for the selected event. After viewing or editing the assigned sources and closing the "Assigned Sources" dialog, the user would return to the Chronology View (List Style only) (This functionality would be similar to that available in the Timeline section of the Overview tab on ancestry.com, which I like.)
