[LegacyUG] Legacy Update Procedure
It would seem more rational to me to have the Legacy Home button on the same line as File, Edit, Add, etc. I tend to not see it where it is. Could it be in both places? And maybe also in the Help menu? Jay Ingalls On 3/4/2014 12:07 PM, Sentz wrote: The auto update reminder is not coming up inside of Legacy like it used to in V7. When I go to Legacy Home from inside of the software, the box on the right says that I have the latest update .397. No mention of update .412. Sounds like it's best to hold off for awhile until some features are ironed out.

I had kept earlier versions of Legacy and still have v7.5 installed – of course that’s a big issue to use the current data file after it was converted to run on v8. Thanks for the offer of 397 – I’ll bear with the current one for now and see how they make out with that. Maybe I’m asking too much – I expect the new releases to be an Upgrade, not a Downgrade.

Not L8 only L7 and earlier can be downloaded from their download site. I have the download of 397 but it’s far too big to e-mail at 63.7Mb would you like me to upload it using Send this file? I think what I may do in future is to download the standard version and install that as the update then at least I can go backwards in issue.

Curious about the jump from 387 to 412 – maybe 412 is a Beta, it seems quite “buggyâ€. Is there a way to get back to build 387?

Maybe some beta testing of updates is needed before release!? The revision list for the last issue (421) is better and shows more fixes but still doesn’t show ALL fixes.

It will also show after putting in the marriage date and exiting/re-entering the Marriage/Relationship Information screen. They are creating â€problems†as fast as they are fixing others!

Based on several other emails, it looks like somebody caused all of these single key shortcuts to stop functioning in the current release 8.0.0.412. See the Help file for the other ones including I that you mentioned.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Update Procedure
There is no Legacy Home button. There's a Legacy Home tab but no button. In earlier versions, there was a Home button on the far left of the toolbar which took you to the Preferred Startup Family. A lot of people were confused with the Legacy Home tab and the Home button when we'd give instructions so Ken changed that button to the Startup Family on the My Toolbar in v8. It wouldn't go on the File ribbon since it has nothing to do with Files but has to do with going to the Preferred Startup Family set in Options Customize 1.3 (You can also set the Startup Family by clicking on the icon on the Options ribbon) Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 1:40 PM, J.M.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Update Procedure
Sherry, et al, Most software I use will pop up an informative dialog when there is an update with a button to click if you want to do the update. Why can't Legacy do likewise? Of course having the blurb showing the most recent version and the currently installed version with the update link on the home page should be maintained.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Update Procedure
That's a question for the programmers but personally I *hate* pop-ups of any kind! They get in the way of accomplishing what I set out to do and I find them totally annoying!
