So sorry you are having to move your data (it is always a pain) and hope you can find a program that will work for you.
For your color code system, one work-a-round might be to recreate your color code and place it in double brackets, what Legacy calls privacy brackets, in a name field or suffix or prefix field. Anything placed in double brackets will not print unless you elect to print private info, yet will be visible on screen and you can search on it in the fields I mentioned. A visual color would be the best, since it is easily noticed, but [[ Red ]] or [[ Blue ]] or whatever would at least allow you to read the color name or a code system on screen. You can elect to omit privacy info when creating a GEDCOM so this info would not be included or shared unless you elected to do so. MEL From: Dawn Beeks [mailto:[email protected]] Subject: [LegacyUG] TMG looking for new home Legacy vs RootsMagic 7 I'm A TMG user but now have to look for new home, since TMG will no longer be tech supported, just forum. I've narrowed down to these 2 software programs and both have great features. I think it's coming down to the coloring features. TMG has a slew of colors to choose from, for however you wanted to setup your lines, such as, non-related lines with same name, unknown lineages, adopted lines, lines from Europe, etc etc. In Legacy, I’m not fully understanding the coloring system. It seems line I can only do two color scheme in each project. I have one project with seven different lines of the same name. I don’t want to make 7 projects because a lot of the people are in the wrong lines and I need to switch over into correct colored line. Also I have only the standard Legacy, I haven’t bought the deluxe, so maybe you can do this but only in the deluxe level? II read that Legacy is working with TMG to do a transfer file, will the color system be worked in, to be brought over? Or has any TMG switched and found the color coding to be okay. I would hate to do this and find my coloring system gone.
