Just curious: Does anyone know if there is a planned version of Legacy that 
will run under macOS?

I love Legacy but having to fire up Parallels and Windows 10 every time I want 
to use it is a real pain.

That’s why I’m leaning more toward using Ancestral Quest. Although it’s a 
Windows program, Incline Software wraps it in a customized version of WINE (or 
Crossover, I can’t tell which). So it runs “natively” on my iMac.

For anyone disillusioned with Legacy, a viable replacement might be Ancestral 
Quest. Like Legacy, they have a free version. They also have a Mac version.

Disclaimer: I use both. For now. But I’m leaning toward switching completely to 
AQ.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Family Tree for Mac

[David Trussell]

So, no.

I also have have the “Mac version” of Ancestral Quest which is running on a 
customized and optimized WINE (or Crossover, I can’t tell).

Not knowing the particulars, maybe this would be an option??

I’m just getting tired of switching to Parallels to use LFT. But thanks for 
your answer.

To a large degree that will depend on whether the Legacy developers and 
Millennia want to rebuild the entire program from scratch.

The current version, and those earlier, are based on Visual Basic v6, which 
went legacy in 2008 and is now totally out of date. Unlikely that Microsoft 
will stop supporting it, as that would break a large number of applications, 
including those developed and used by major businesses.

Conversion to the current Visual Basic .NET is possible, but it is not 
backwards compatible and the conversion process is not possible for most 
projects.--

[LegacyUG] Legacy Family Tree for Mac

[David Trussell]

Is anybody aware if a Mac version of LFT is either planned and/or in 
development?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Program for Macintosh Computer - When?

[David Trussell]

I also use Ancestral Quest on my Mac. It’s a Windows program, but it’s wrapped 
in a customized version of WINE. It runs as if it was a native Mac app.

Perhaps Legacy could take a page out of Incline Software’s book?

Also, if one must switch to a native Mac app, some would consider Reunion to be 
the best. No interface to FamilyTree/FamilySearch, though.

Re: [LegacyUG] New to Group

[David Trussell]

I also have Ancestral Quest installed on my Mac. It’s still a Windows program 
but it runs under a customized version of Wine for Mac supplied by Incline 
Software, so it appears as a “native” Mac app.

I really wish Legacy Family Tree would do something like that. Or, better yet, 
make a MacOS version of Legacy. I’d like to move away from Parallels Desktop.

Re: [LegacyUG] New to Group

I use Legacy on my iMac running Parallels. I’m pretty much a rookie at Legacy. 
What kinds of tips?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy on a Mac Using Parallels

[David Trussell]

I am a rank rookie Legacy user and have pretty much the same setup you have. I 
played with mine and assigned a photo to my father that was in my Mac home 
directory. The photo showed OK. I closed Legacy and re-opened. The photo was 
there as I left it. I haven’t tried attaching any documents.

 I have a Mac computer, OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1, Legacy update 
 8.0.0.473, Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac, Version 10.1.4 (28883), and Windows 
 7.

 I would like to know how to put documents and photos from my Mac side into 
 Legacy. Whenever I’ve entered documents and photos, they show up in Legacy. 
 However, the next time I open Legacy my work has disappeared. Even photos I 
 use as the primary photo for the Family Page disappear. I’ve been really 
 frustrated and need help. What’s worked for you? Any suggestions?
