Re: [LegacyUG] New Version of Legacy Family Tree?
I, too, am not impressed with MyHeritage. It's like they want all my information and then I have to PAY to have access. And then my information is available to all that subscribe. Sometimes, I have info that I DONT want to share. It's a shame when there is something good going on (Legacy) and someone acquires it and messes everything up.

For many years it has been back to the old days when everything resided on the university computers, which charged by the minute. All we plebeians had were dumb computers. Woe unto you if you neglected to log off the university computer when you were done because the charges kept accruing until you did!

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Legacy Family Tree goes by the wayside now that they are owned by MyHeritage. MyHeritage has their own genealogy software program, Family Tree Builder, that synchronizes directly with trees on MyHeritage (if you have one). Daniel Horowitz has been actively demoing Family Tree Builder the past several weeks through his Ask the Expert 30-minute webinars on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Family Tree Builder has some of the features found in Legacy Family Tree, but nowhere near all the bells and whistles. legacy is far superior. This past February at RootsTech I asked Daniel when MyHeritage would enable the Legacy Family Tree program to synchronize with trees on MyHeritage. His answer was, "Not this year." Very disappointing. I get tired of having to maintain trees on multiple websites, or periodically export new GEDCOM files to them, which restarts record matching all over. My impression is that MyHeritage is focusing their efforts on DNA tools, as that seems to be where the money is these days. I don't think the big companies are interested in investing time in computer-based software (as evidenced by Ancestry abandoning Family Tree Maker a few years ago). They all want us to build our trees on their websites, which really makes us a commodity that they use to leverage their business model. Our trees help them bring in more customers for DNA and matching. Just my opinion. I hope I'm wrong, but as a retired software engineer, I'm doubtful. Everything is moving away from personal computers and into the cloud.

Hello…Does anyone know if there are any plans for a major upgrade to Legacy Family Tree (i.e. v10)? It has been over three years since the release of v9. If I recall correctly, v10 was on the verge of being release a couple of years ago. Is it my imagination, but ever since Legacy Family Tree was acquired by MyHeritage the updates / enhancements have seemed to come at a snail pace. I really do like Legacy Family Tree and have recommended to many of my friends and relatives. I really liked the frequent free fixes / enhancements and looked forward to them and was one of the first to pay for an upgrade. The initial cost and upgrades were always reasonably. I am just afraid that Legacy is not part of the long-term direction or focus for MyHeritage. I just hope this is not the case since I don’t want to see Legacy fall to the side of the road like many other genealogy programs. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
Re: [LegacyUG] New feature!
Cathy, thank you. I saw this when hunting around in support, but don't understand.when I figure out how to go to "safe mode", am I then supposed to install Legacy program again on computer by clicking on the link - Legacy?Am I going to have to do this every time there is an update? Is this some problem running program on Win10?I never had a problem with updates on Win7 or 8.SOrry for questions, but I am not that computer literate. Beginning to think that Legacy is going "Downhill" since associated with My Heritage and maybe not worth all this trouble to stay with it.J.

Re: [LegacyUG] Farewell, and thanks for all the help
I too am waiting to upgrade. Glad I didn't rush to "push the button". Looks like there are bugs to be worked out.

There is always a lot of chatter when a new version comes out and I am interested to watch all the comments and problems, which only reinforces my view to stay with my current version. I am sure if you stay on it will be back to queries on v7, v8 and v9 in no time at all. Hope you decide to stay - we need users who refuse to change and we shall still need help whatever version we are running! :( On 20 April 2017 at 10:00, Steve Hayeswrote: I think I'll be leaving this list now that Legacy 9 had been released. I don't think I'll be upgrading, as most of the new features do not interest me, and program bloat tends to make one's computer run slower. And it seems that most of the traffic here will be about Version 9 from now on, so it's time to say goodbye.
