Will request it, but I'm thinking of something simpler. For example I know a distant cousin Rob McIlvaine did a fan chart of the ancestors of my great grandfather, but cannot remember what I named it. Being able to search the name/title/author fields for a list of sources with "Rob McIlvaine" or "fan chart" in one of those fields would give me a short list to pick from.
In Generations I got sloppy in naming sources because I could always search on something logical and then select from a short list. Now I enter all sources in 2 places and search in Excel. I am also (slowly) renaming source in both places to be easier to find in the "Name order only" presentation by Legacy. Otherwise I get some duplicates.

It wouldn't be impossible, but just thinking out loud: File IDs can be associated with... a) Master Sources b) Source Citations c) Pictures d) To-Do's (both Individual and General) In the case of Source Citations, a Source Citation can point... 1) Directly to an Individual Record 2) Directly to a Marriage Record (which points to two Individual Records) 3) Directly to an Event (which in turn points to an Individual or Marriage Record) 4) Directly to an AKA (which in turn points to an Individual Record) 5) Directly to a To-Do (which may or may not point to an Individual Record) Master Sources point to Source Citations which in turn yield the 5 cases I listed above. And, as hinted at above, the File ID on a To-Do may or may not be associated with an Individual Record. To summarize, it would not be simple to code (which is probably why it isn't there already). -- Dennis M.
