Sounds good to me, Dave. Would this take care of the "unknown spouse" when there is no spouse in a single parent situation? Joan
----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Berdan" | The "invisible" feature is just an, as yet, unimplemented extension of the | Private feature. You can currently mark a person as Private and the | information for Private individuals is suppressed on reports and is replaced | with "Private." Someone suggested that Private individuals not be mentioned | at all. That is when I came up with the "invisible" extension and we have | been talking about the effects and ramifications of such an option. The big | question is what to do on a descendant-type report when one of the | descendants is marked as Private/Invisible. If we don't include anything | about the person on the report, do we also then not include anything about | their descendants? Or do we skip a generation...for example, someone's child | followed by their great-grandchildren (if a grandchild is invisible)? | | I suspect that the most likely candidates for "invisibility" are not direct | relatives but rather rouge spouses or "friends" that the family would rather | forget about. These types of individuals could be left out of a report and | not affect the flow of the descendancy even if they had children. It is | when the direct-line descendant is marked as invisible that we have a | decision to make. | | My current proposal is that any non-direct-line individuals that are marked | as invisible be ignored in the report (no mention at all). Any invisible | direct-line individuals would be included and shown as "Private" but no | other information would be given. | | Reaction? | | Thanks, | -- | Dave Berdan | Millennia | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.LegacyFamilyTree.com | | | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Jeremy Main" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2003 2:08 PM | Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Invisible - V.5 | | | > I believe the "invisible" feature is the "Private" checkbox in the lower | > right corner of the Individual Information edit form (ie: when you're | > editing an individual's data).
