I always put privacy brackets [[ at the beginning of any text in the Master Source text or comments field. I sometimes use the whole of an email in text form for a source and don't want the senders details or the whole of the text to appear anywhere.

From: Brian L. Lightfoot Sent: Sunday, March 29, 2015 2:15 PM To: [email protected] 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 in CA ---------------------- 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. Ward ******* 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!!
