There is still a problem with sharing a “Life Sketch” event by downloading from FamilySearch to Legacy Family Tree version 506. My computer – Windows 8.1 32 bit version with Legacy v8 setup to connect automatically to FamilySearch through My Toolbar. (I do not have the ToolBar problem reported by Jim Terry) I used William Scott FSFT ID LWQM-F3Q for testing as he is the individual I used for reporting “Life Sketch” problems in the past. Version 506 no longer breaks my web connection to FSFT when I already have a LifeSketch event for William Scott (one problem fixed), but when I share the FSFT “LifeSketch” event Legacy only downloads the first 255 characters (half of the first paragraph of the FSFT event) and puts them into the Description field rather than downloading the entire event to the Legacy event Note field (a memo field of essentially unlimited length) Legacy needs to have a test for the number of characters being downloaded so that it can decide to put short descriptions (less than 255 characters into tblER.Description) or long descriptions (more than 255 characters into tblER.Desc – a memo field) Howard Cady

We would like any of you who would like to help do some additional testing to please download Legacy using the link below. With this update we really need the Legacy FamilySearch feature to be used and tested. Please try everything you normally do. Share data back and forth with FamilySearch, Merge Duplicates, etc. If you are LDS is everything related to ordinance working for you. If you are not LDS (you won't see LDS ordinance items) but everything else should still work and needs to be tested. All features need to be tried since the API changes affected a bunch of code in Legacy. As always we ask that you please make a backup of your family files before downloading any new update.
