Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Details text showing up in Footnote citation.
...
Now for the really bad news that nobody has yet caught. I seems this info on
the Comment tab of a Master Source is always included on a GEDCOM submission
which kind of negates my idea of keeping it private.

Brian, I agree that there is bad news here, especially when the target system
for the GEDCOM is not well-behaved. I ran into this with my TNG
experimentation. I have just run some additional tests in order to sort out
what is happening. Results are below. In summary, I always uncheck the export
box that says ‘override source options’. Otherwise, TNG bloats the source
citations with unwanted text/comments from the source Detail, and also displays
citations that were unwanted. But this is a compromise, because now
Sourcewriter detail fields are missing (at least for the templates that I
tested) – a Legacy issue. There are other TNG source-handling issues no matter
which override option you choose.

******* Legacy Sources On Export to GEDCOM ****************
(Export to 'Legacy' GEDCOM was selected for most of these tests.)
If choose to override source options:
- Sourcewriter Sources:
- Master source Text/Comments: Included in GEDCOM
- Detail Fields: Included
- Detail source Text/Comments: Included
- Basic Sources:
- Master source Text/Comments: Included
- Detail Fields: Included
- Detail source Text/Comments: Included
- The source is included in the GEDCOM even if the box 'Include this
citation on reports' was unchecked on the source detail panel. (There is a _CIT
No tag that Legacy probably uses on re-import, but a non-Legacy target system
would not.)
If choose not to override source options:
- The Entire citation is missing if you do not check 'Include this citation
on reports' on the edit Detail panel. Otherwise...
- Sourcewriter Sources:
- Master source Text/Comments: Included
- Detail Fields: NOT Included!!
- Detail source Text/Comments: Included only if had checked 'Add this
text/comments to the Source Citation on Reports.
- Basic Sources:
- Master source Text/Comments: Included
- Detail Fields: Included only if had checked 'Add this Detail to the
Source Citation on Reports'
- Detail source Text/Comments: Included only if had checked 'Add this
text/comments to the Source Citation on Reports.
TNG Import:
- Displays the source list name first, in the citation (i.e., the name
that is supposed to be for internal use, only!!)
- Displays no master text/comment text in the citation, or if click on
the source number.
- But DOES expands all the master source text/comments under the citation
in the PDF report!!
- Displays master source media, when click to drill down on the source
number.
- Displays available source detail fields in the citation, although not
when drill down on the source number. (Master info only.)
- Displays source detail text/comment data, if present, right in the
citation!!
- Displays no source detail media. (No media link.)
- Displays the Description field of the Detail Media file, in the
citation!!
