Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports

[SHERLOCK Genealogy]

All the gripes about MyHeritage buying Legacy is pretty much mirror of Ancestry 
when they went on buying spree.

The user looses out yet
It was the user's who did and STILL DO, I will stress but that both Legacy and 
MyHeritage are still doing a good job of looking after members (wish multiple 
user costs would reduce).

I agree with CE WOOD, I believe Heritage bought Legacy yo get their users 
buying into their online genealogy database and abandoning Legacy, it’s much 
more profitable for them. Well I’m not buying into that.
And speaking about backup, I never used their online backup anyway. I store all 
my file on my home computer and backup my files to an external hard drive AND 
in addition to Dropbox. And I do that all automatically, starting a batch file 
that first backups my file before opening Legacy, then opening Legacy, and when 
I close Legacy the batch file continues and copies all the changed files to the 
external hard drive and then to my Dropbox folder. And I always watch out that 
my Dropbox folder is up to date before I shut my computer down ( which I rarely 
do, basically only when updates require it).

As to backups, you can backup to as many locations as you want. Every time I 
make any changes, I backup to two separate backup folders on my desktop, as 
well as to two separate USB drives on my desktop, to one USBC external hard

Another wishlist feature adding to what others have requested is an extra 
backup option. I know there were legal/logistic issues when the Legacy cloud 
storage option was removed. However I would like to have both a "local" and a 
"remote" backup option. Local is local to the PC or home network. Remote could 
be to a cloud service. This would fit the 3 2 1 best practice (3 copies, 2 
locations and one in a different location).

I like the Legacy features (the ones I use at least) and know migrating is a 
big deal so I am OK for now. However it would be good to "feel" like there is a 
degree of ongoing progress and improvement. Knowing there is a schedule of 
updates and improvements might demonstrate Legacy has "life" and is fully 
supported. For example, windows get monthly updates - they have a lot more to 
worry about fixing things. But they also have a schedule of feature updates. 
You might not like all the changes but it creates a sense that the product is 
"alive".

Since adding another backup option should not (my guess at least) disturb the 
underlying data engine, putting that into a small feature update would be nice 
and could stop my eyes looking at the reviews of competing products for a while.

[JOHN YOUNG via LegacyUserGroup]

I also use dropbox. I have dropbox installed on 2 computers at home, 
this will automatically update when I use the second computer. I only 
use legacy on one computer to avoid any syncing issues. I then also have 
an external drive on my 1st computer using backup software this then 
runs continuous backups (I have it set to every 20mins, but you can go 
as low as every 10 seconds). So the data is stored on 2 computers, 1 
external hard drive and on the cloud. This is all setup so I don't have 
to do anything to backup, it is all automatic.



The free version of dropbox has plenty of storage space for me.

Cheers, John.

I have my local DropBox folder as the default location for all my Legacy 
locations, including the installed folder and the data and media 
folders.  That provides me with an automatic off-site backup location. 
Then I can use other local media as a local backup.  I understand the 
issues of possible delays with the DropBox choice, but they have not 
been an issue for me, and I don't share the cloud location with anyone, 
so there is no problem of getting out of sync.  Just need to watch for 
possible activity when shutting down.

I am going to chime in here!  I have my own website with a page devoted 
to recommending Legacy Family Tree based on the commendable merits of 
the software.  After waiting for so long for this “bug” to be fixed, as 
well as other issues, I too must consider a change.  Seems like since 
MyHeritage took over, they don’t care as much as before.  It’s too bad 
because the company risks losing more consumers as time passes.  I am 
hoping that MyHeritage is not following in the footsteps of Ancestry and

Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports

[Chris Hill]

The issues with Hints is not down to Legacy. It is limited by the speed
that the websites will response to the requests that it receives and the
limitations that they have put on Legacy, plus if they change their
interface then Legacy has to update the system. That has been the recent
issues with FS.

Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports

[Gloria DeSousa]

What I'm hoping for is that I'll be able to upload not only the
individuals, and what user controls come in a gedcom, but all that's in
individuals' Media Gallery as well to websites such as myheritage.com, and
from the little I understand, it seems that will never be possible.
Correct? I don't use many of the bells and whistles in Legacy also. I tried
but have found that even with instructions, it's not intuitive (to me).

Juergen, I'd like to know more about your combination of Legacy & TNG and
have a peek at your site.  Basically, I like to know if you can accomplish
what I first mentioned - having the Media Gallery accessible online to
anyone. I have a myheritage.com account that I upload gedcoms to
periodically but would love a way to have Legacy's Media Gallery in
myheritage.com or any other online site, without manually attaching each
and every one to their respective documents in myheritage.com. I am well
over 50,000 individuals, some with as many as 60 documents and/or photos -
that is my method of sourcing. I have tried to upload to myheritage.com all
of my media but it crashed.

I assume that when it comes to what I'm looking for, it won't matter if
it's Legacy or RootsMagic. Correct?

Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports

[Robin McCarthy]

I too have become disenchanted with Legacy Family Tree. One of the main reasons 
I switched to it was to get hints from MyHeritage. I keep seeing lots of 
complaints about the hinting mechanism not working or being down. I was also 
impressed with all of Legacy's features that aren't in the other programs. 
However, I don't utilize Legacy to its full capabilities. It's a bit 
complicated to remember all the bells and whistles for the casual user. Now 
that RootsMagic 8 has been released and gives hints from the three major sites 
(Ancestry, FamilySearch, and MyHeritage) I am going to switch to it. I hear 
Legacy 10 is under development but there has been no official announcement. It 
will likely be more than a year before it is available. I will give Legacy 
another look when version 10 is released.Robin

Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports

[Chris Hill]

Generally so am I, but it could be better.

Unfortunately, to do that will require a total rebuild, given that the 
Legacy application is still written in VB 6. The Charts program seems to 
be written in Borland (now Embarcadero) Delphi and the Hints program is 
.NET based.

Generally I’m really satisfied with Legacy, even the little antiquated 
interface doesn’t bother me. And it has a lot of functions and report 
options that other programs don’t have. So really don’t understand why 
this bug wasn’t fixed. I just don’t believe it needs a lot of rewrite 
to put a function that was there for quite some time.

I have looked at both the MH Family Tree Builder and at Roots magic. 
Both have a more modern design and are functional across multiple 
operating systems. But they do not seem to have the same functionality 
as Legacy.


What I would be looking for, and have for many years, are

1.Unicode support, not at issue for me but it is for many 
users.

2.Support for Mac and Linux, again not an issue for me.
3.Ability to extract information from and put into genealogy 
website like Ancestry, FindMyPast, MyHeritage (probably in version 10) 
etc with user control on what is moved.
4.To automatically generate source records when importing 
information from a web site, like a census or BMD source.

5.A more modern design based on the latest GUI interfaces.

Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports

[Juergen Amling]

To publish my data online I use TNG (The Next Generation genealogy software). I 
use Legacy as my main database on my home computer and export (whenever I made 
some changes or additions) a Gedcom file to my website and import it into my 
online database. There I have a lot of additional report possibilities. The 
combination of Legacy and TNG is for me the best solution. Feel free to check 
it out. No you don’t have access to information for living people without 
permission from me :).

Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports

[Chris Hill]

The problem is that Legacy needs a total rebuild, which I had hoped that 
MH would provide the funding.


I have looked at both the MH Family Tree Builder and at Roots magic. 
Both have a more modern design and are functional across multiple 
operating systems. But they do not seem to have the same functionality 
as Legacy.


What I would be looking for, and have for many years, are

1.Unicode support, not at issue for me but it is for many users.
2.Support for Mac and Linux, again not an issue for me.
3.Ability to extract information from and put into genealogy 
website like Ancestry, FindMyPast, MyHeritage (probably in version 10) 
etc with user control on what is moved.
4.To automatically generate source records when importing 
information from a web site, like a census or BMD source.

5.A more modern design based on the latest GUI interfaces.

Regards

Chris

I am going to chime in here!  I have my own website with a page devoted 
to recommending Legacy Family Tree based on the commendable merits of 
the software.  After waiting for so long for this “bug” to be fixed, as 
well as other issues, I too must consider a change.  Seems like since 
MyHeritage took over, they don’t care as much as before.  It’s too bad 
because the company risks losing more consumers as time passes.  I am 
hoping that MyHeritage is not following in the footsteps of Ancestry 
and Family Tree Maker where the ultimate goal was to bring everybody’s 
database “online”.  Many simply don’t want to do that.




Agree with P Hays – unhappy is putting it mildly!

[LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports

[Juergen Amling]

I know this was mentioned before. If I remember right, in the last 
update to Version 9 (*9.0.0.393) *which came in August 2021, there was a 
bug introduced that prevented several reports (for sure the descendant 
report) to add parents to spouses and children. I believe we waited 
patiently enough for the error to be corrected. It's now almost a half a 
year that we have to live with it, and it's time to fix it.  If Legacy 
has no intention of fixing errors anymore to Version 9, please have the 
decency to let us know, so that we can look around and see if other 
programs are more suitable to our needs. I for my  part might just have 
to do that, although I really don't want to do that. And if I could get 
the version before this bug was introduced, I would use it, but 
unfortunately I updated all my computers to release *9.0.0.393. * I want 
to print a new edition of my book, and surely can't now all of a sudden 
print one without the parents of the spouses and children. I'm really 
disappointed.
