I also use dropbox. I have dropbox installed on 2 computers at home,
this will automatically update when I use the second computer. I only
use legacy on one computer to avoid any syncing issues. I then also have
an external drive on my 1st computer using backup software this then
runs continuous backups (I have it set to every 20mins, but you can go
as low as every 10 seconds). So the data is stored on 2 computers, 1
external hard drive and on the cloud. This is all setup so I don't have
to do anything to backup, it is all automatic.
The free version of dropbox has plenty of storage space for me.
Cheers, John.

I have my local DropBox folder as the default location for all my Legacy
locations, including the installed folder and the data and media
folders. That provides me with an automatic off-site backup location.
Then I can use other local media as a local backup. I understand the
issues of possible delays with the DropBox choice, but they have not
been an issue for me, and I don't share the cloud location with anyone,
so there is no problem of getting out of sync. Just need to watch for
possible activity when shutting down.
Love your families,
Bob

Another wishlist feature adding to what others have requested is an
extra backup option. I know there were legal/logistic issues when the
Legacy cloud storage option was removed. However I would like to have
both a "local" and a "remote" backup option. Local is local to the PC or
home network. Remote could be to a cloud service. This would fit the 3 2
1 best practice (3 copies, 2 locations and one in a different location).
I like the Legacy features (the ones I use at least) and know migrating
is a big deal so I am OK for now. However it would be good to "feel"
like there is a degree of ongoing progress and improvement. Knowing
there is a schedule of updates and improvements might demonstrate Legacy
has "life" and is fully supported. For example, windows get monthly
updates - they have a lot more to worry about fixing things. But they
also have a schedule of feature updates. You might not like all the
changes but it creates a sense that the product is "alive".
Since adding another backup option should not (my guess at least)
disturb the underlying data engine, putting that into a small feature
update would be nice and could stop my eyes looking at the reviews of
competing products for a while.
Cheers
John

The problem is that Legacy needs a total rebuild, which I had hoped that
MH would provide the funding.
I have looked at both the MH Family Tree Builder and at Roots magic.
Both have a more modern design and are functional across multiple
operating systems. But they do not seem to have the same functionality
as Legacy.
What I would be looking for, and have for many years, are
1. Unicode support, not at issue for me but it is for many
users.
2. Support for Mac and Linux, again not an issue for me.
3. Ability to extract information from and put into genealogy
website like Ancestry, FindMyPast, MyHeritage (probably in version 10)
etc with user control on what is moved.
4. To automatically generate source records when importing
information from a web site, like a census or BMD source.
5. A more modern design based on the latest GUI interfaces.
Regards
Chris

I am going to chime in here! I have my own website with a page devoted
to recommending Legacy Family Tree based on the commendable merits of
the software. After waiting for so long for this “bug” to be fixed, as
well as other issues, I too must consider a change. Seems like since
MyHeritage took over, they don’t care as much as before. It’s too bad
because the company risks losing more consumers as time passes. I am
hoping that MyHeritage is not following in the footsteps of Ancestry and
Family Tree Maker where the ultimate goal was to bring everybody’s
database “online”. Many simply don’t want to do that.
Agree with P Hays – unhappy is putting it mildly!

I know this was mentioned before. If I remember right, in the last
update to Version 9 (9.0.0.393) which came in August 2021, there was a
bug introduced that prevented several reports (for sure the descendant
report) to add parents to spouses and children. I believe we waited
patiently enough for the error to be corrected. It's now almost a half a
year that we have to live with it, and it's time to fix it. If Legacy
has no intention of fixing errors anymore to Version 9, please have the
decency to let us know, so that we can look around and see if other
programs are more suitable to our needs. I for my part might just have
to do that, although I really don't want to do that. And if I could get
the version before this bug was introduced, I would use it, but
unfortunately I updated all my computers to release 9.0.0.393. I want
to print a new edition of my book, and surely can't now all of a sudden
print one without the parents of the spouses and children. I'm really
disappointed.
