Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Companion
Although we do allow discussion of the add-on programs on this list, we may not have a lot of listers who use those add-on programs. I don't think Progeny monitors this list (a couple of other add-on developers do monitor the list for questions about their program). Your best responses would come from a forum specific to Charting Companion and their website is the best place to find such a forum.

[LegacyUG] To be fixed list?
Hello: I've been away for awhile, and just catching up on a billion messages. I assume it is somewhere on the Legacy FamilyTree website, but I am unable to find it. Where am I able to see a list of items that : 1. have been fixed, 2. items that are still on the list to be fixed, and 3. items that will not be fixed? I'm just back to Legacy after some travelling, and I noticed some fixes are still outstanding (i.e. When looking at a person's sources, Legacy 7 shows: Assigned Sources for: John Doe [200] in the top left corner, while Legacy 8 only shows Assigned Sources) Having the name of the person and their RIN number available (as in Legacy 7) is a big time saver. I know this feature was discussed earlier, but I have no idea if it fixed (but still a glitch on my system), or if it is still in the lineup of being fixed, or if it was dropped for being too difficult to fix). So tracking down the list of fixes past, present and future would be very helpful.

RE: [LegacyUG] Pedigree Report Problem
Jenny, I am sorry that I confused you. I do understand what the load and save buttons in the lower right corner are for. I was attempting to save the report settings so that I could recall them when needed. It didn't work. The Other save that I mentioned is in the upper right corner of the window that opens when I click Color text and boxes. I want to use the 4 line colors. I must go through the steps outlined in my original post each time I want to run the report instead of simply loading the saved report options. I believe the settings should stick and I believe the saved report options should set the options I want. Neither is happening. Thanks for your interest and help.

Re: [LegacyUG] To be fixed list?
if it's working in v7.5, it should be working in v8. However, there were many design changes between the two versions. Apparently not showing the name and RIN of the individual was one of those. It's not considered a bug. Since the Assigned Sources List is accessed from a person you're working in, the name and RIN should be pretty obvious. If you can't remember who you're working it, it's easy to slide the window down a bit to see the name in the underlying view..

[LegacyUG] document detailing large number of individuals
I have a document that is 33 pages long and details at least 20-30 individuals. I will copy/paste the details of each page into my sourcing for the individuals mentioned on each individual page the same way I do with a census when it is showing multiple individuals. I feel like I should be saving the entire document somewhere as well. The original document gives a list of what is on each page and gives some background about the archive and even some images of churches in the areas of research and a map. I wouldn't want to add these individually to every single individual that I am adding into my file. That seems excessive, although it would be nice to be able to access these general items without having to remember which individual that file is attached to. I hope that makes sense. I wish there was some 'general' area in Legacy that would allow us to add this type of document and maybe tag the family 'line' that would be involved. Reasoning is that I don't want to inflate my individual files unnecessarily but also, if I add to that tree later, I won't remember that I have a really nice image of the church in the area that the person was born or that I have a map of that area. And those things would only be attached to the people I'm inputting now. Does anyone have a work around for this? Or a suggestion about how you would handle these type of more 'general' documents?

Re: [LegacyUG] To be fixed list?
The list of problem reports and their status are for company use only. There is no to be fixed list available to users. Imagine what our competitors could say about Legacy if that was opening available. You can see what has been fixed or new features added in the releases on this page. http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/RevisionHistory8.asp I searched our message archives back to before Legacy 8 was released and I could find no record of any discussion of the new header for the assigned sources window in Legacy 8. I did see some comments from you and I did edit an existing problem report to add you as a reporter for an issue with the column widths on the assigned sources screen. That issue is still outstanding.

Re: [LegacyUG] document detailing large number of individuals
Kathy, I would put the document (and photos) in Evernote. You could create a Genealogy notebook and then create a sub notebook for each item you want to save. Ex: I have a Genealogy Notebook - sub Notebooks for 1880 Census, 1900 Census, etc., in each sub notebook, I have pages for each of my locations. In those pages are transcriptions created from the appropriate census.

The Save and Load buttons in the lower right corner are for saving and loading a set of Options, not for saving the Report itself. If you create the Report as you want it, then save the resulting PDF file that will re-appear just as you saved it every time you open it, just like any document file will. If you want to create a similar report starting with a different individual you can Load your saved Settings file and your chosen settings, as for the earlier Report, will be applied to the new Report. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Hi Brian: I had pictured that a list would be helpful for users to keep track of fixes. But you're right, from a business competition point of view such a list could be used negatively.

You told him you had input a suggestion to the enhancements list to have the Name/Rin reinstated either in the title bar or in the header of the screen of the To-Do Items.

[LegacyUG] lack of text formatting in Individual source - edit details section
I've been assuming this was omitted from Version 8 for some odd reason but maybe I am missing a toggle or other preferences choice so I'm asking the list. Example, I create a source with details for an individual #1 and copy it to the clipboard. I paste that source to the next person #2. At this point, I would have normally located the text that pertained to person #2 and BOLDed and/or UNDERLINED that bit of text, leaving the rest of the text intact since it gives a frame of reference for this bit of information; I don't just add bits and pieces that apply to each individual and this was very helpful for quickly finding the information for that 2nd person. The bold, underline, etc options appear to be available when the source is first created but not when it is pasted to the 2nd person. These are the icons that appear to the left of the text itself in the details tab. Is there a way to turn this function on? Or was it removed in V8? Thanks for your help. Sorry for the multiple posts today that may sound simplistic; I haven't been able to work on this for a long time and trying to make up for lost time.

RE: [LegacyUG] Possible bugs in webpages
Hi, Ron — Thanks for your reply and for testing the various webpage output problems. I have submitted a bug report on these problems. See my comments below (in a different-colored font for clarity) on the few points where you needed further explanation or were unable to confirm the same results. All other sections have been snipped: (1) In Individual-Style Website pages — * For many couples, events print on one spouse, with notes attached and event pictures, but on the other spouse the events only show up in the event note portion, and so attached images do not display. I cannot assess this, it may depend on the type of Event – marriage or individual – please let me know where you attach your images. I was talking about individual events and noticing differences in the ways individual events were being displayed. Some of these were census events (not shared events, but duplicated as individual events if other individuals shared in the same census event), residence events, occupation events, etc. However, it appears my comments were somewhat mistaken on this topic. I have noticed a difference in the output on events, and I thought this difference in output was related to whether or not images were showing up in the output. By more careful examination, I see that the difference in output had nothing to do with the lack of images — it was simply a coincidence. The problem that I was noticing, however, is that on some people the Events print under a heading that is titled simply “Events” (with ruled lines above and below the word), whereas for others the events print under a double heading that is Events (with rules above and below) followed by “Notes” (also with rules above and below). This second Event-header Notes appears unrelated to the real “Notes” heading which follows the Spouse and children section, and prints out general notes, birth notes, etc. (as I have chosen in my output options). I was noticing the difference in the Event header almost every other person — for a while I thought it was gender-related, but it was not as simple as that. If one spouse had one style of heading for events, the other almost always had the other style. When I first saw this happening, coupled with the discrepancy in images (which turned out to be completely coincidental), I thought what I was seeing was the output of events for one individual and event notes only for the other individuals. In fact, as I examine it now, the only difference appears to be in how the section is titled. However, I have noticed that none of my sources on events are attached or printing at all. (New problem not previously noticed.) * On the name list, when alternate names are included, it appears that the main preferred name for a female is then omitted from the name list. (This may be a problem in other styles of web pages, too.) Mine includes both the AKA and Birth Name in the Name List – perhaps a settings question? When I check the setting for Alternate given and surnames on the What tab, I’m not sure what names are ending up in the name list. It’s certainly not all the AKAs. In some instances, an AKA replaces the birth name (the preferred name that shows on the main family page) in the index. That’s why I was thinking that the main name for a female was being omitted. It appears that the name list, instead of being generated from the AKAs, is simply taking one example of a particular surname with one example of given names, pairing them together, and moving on to the next surname for the individual. So instead of “Harrower, Alice Elizabeth” (birth name), I get “Harrower, Alice” or “Bishop, Alice E.” in my name list — but not also “Harrower, Alice Elizabeth” or “Bishop, Alice” — which are also names for this individual. In several instances for men, I found all the AKAs listed — but none of the name birth names. For other men, the reverse was true — the main birth name ended up in the index, but the AKAs did not appear. * If the option to “include the main name from each page as the page's title” (Project tab) is checked, then that individuals’ name displays at the top of the page EVEN WHEN privacy options say to set that person’s name to Living or Deceased (as the case may be). I do not have this option under the project tab –where is it? On the project tab of the Individual Style web page creation, about 1/4th of the way down is a check box that says Include the main name from each page as the page's title, followed by two fill in boxes for “Add the title prefix of:” and “Add the title suffix of:”. If I have this box checked, it overrides privacy options and a page for a living individual will have their full name listed at the top of the page. For that matter, why are webpages for living individuals printing with sources?
