Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool
GEDCOM is the source of the problem, but I have long advocated that an optional workaround could be provided in Legacy. In fact, this is near the top of my list of things I would like to see in a major new release. Since Legacy already knows how to format (for reports) the various master and detail fields of a SW source, it seems to me that the programming effort would not be overwhelming to similarly format those fields into a Basic-style source in the GEDCOM export. Yes, this would flatten out the sources such that there is no effective hierarchy of master and detail, but at least such sources would be readable in the system that imports the GEDCOM. Right now, they appear rather scrambled (depending on the template type).

Unfortunately for Source Writer devotees, it is not a Legacy problem, it is that gedcom standards are out of date. Then again, perhaps a Legacy gedcom could be created that would accommodate Source Writer templates, but only for import back into Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool
CE, I know very little about the use of GEDCOM, it either works for me or it doesn't. Granted GEDCOM development is always behind the times. I understand backward compatibility is always a challenge. Even so, since Millennia created Sourcewriter shouldn't they be responsible to create a workaround algorithm to export the appropriate fields into current GEDCOM fields? Even if most of the information might wind up in a notes field at least the information would available on the import end, although maybe not as useful as if it had proper GEDCOM fields.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool
I may misunderstand the issue, but, from what I've seen, the problem is a GEDCOM problem, not a Legacy problem. The aging GEDCOM model has only so many fields for citations and dumps data from unrecognized fields in the software of origin into its note fields. Back when Legacy was the only software with detailed templates for sources, this impacted only Legacy, but other programs now also have detailed templates, so it impacts them as well. I've seen similar situations in other arenas, and, while the problems are not insurmountable, neither are they inexpensive. They also require that all parties involved cooperate.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source template conversion tool
*Yes, your name would be entered multiple times. Here's how I do it. Suppose I read a letter received by my Aunt Kathy from her sister. The letter details facts about Cousin Joe Blow, facts I want. Here's what I do: 1 Offer to xerox at my expense the letter so I have a copy to refer to from time to time as needed. I would keep the letter on file, and maybe even scan the letter on my computer for faster access. -or- 2 failing that, I try to get permission to photo the letter. At home, I print it and put it in a file. I might even save the photo on computer for faster access. -or- 3 Still failing that, I will set down and write down every fact I possibly can. Names, events, dates, who the letter was from, who it was to. Now, even if I have a copy of it in the first two examples, who received the letter? Aunt Kathy. Who has the letter? Aunt Kathy. I only have a copy. Aunt Kathy is the recipient. In the last example, Aunt Kathy is the recipient. I just copied facts. I have several family Bibles. I fight for permission to view them before they are destroyed. Yes, a lot of people they go to decide the Bible is too old, too loose, coming apart, too something. So they toss it. I would list the name of the *current* owner of those Bibles as recipient, even he may elect to destroy them. True, your name will be on a lot of them. does this help? * *Thank you. **Robert* *Genealogy without documentation is mythology!

I think you've missed several threads as this topic has come up frequently in the past! The Source Conversion Tool proved to be much more difficult to create than the programmers anticipated and as yet it has not materialised. There is no indication that it might do so in the near future. There are two methods of speeding up the process of manually converting Basic Sources. One involves interacting directly with Access and I believe the other involves the use of Ltools. Doubtless someone will be along soon to give you more details, but I have used the Access method and can send you the details if you wish. -- 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).

RE: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool
Jim, To my knowledge, the Source Writer Conversion Tool, has never been released. I will agree with Ron Ferguson that it should be removed from the help files to eliminate confusion, however, I will even go a step further and say (In my opinion) there are just too many variables for a Source Writer Conversion Tool to take them all into account and work properly for everyone, and therefore should be abandoned as a project. I am sure the programmers and developers of Legacy could spend that time on polishing existing features within Legacy. As a side note, I was able to correct many errors previously made by having to manually review each of the individuals after converting to Legacy via GEDCOM. If the Source Writer Conversion Tool had been available I would have never caught those earlier mistakes. So I am actually happy that the Source Conversion Tool was not available. This is just my opinion, others may feel differently.

One involves minor manipulation of your Family File in Access (I can give you the instructions if you wish) and the other is included in Dennis's LTools program. -- 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/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp 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/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool
Thanks to all that responded. I thought I had lucked out when I found that tool in the help menu... Goes to show you that what appears too good to be true probably is.

RE: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool
For quite a few months, it remained on their web sites as one of the features of the “new” version 7. But as we all learned it wasn’t initially included and had promises of RSN (real soon now). As the months passed, it’s very mention was obliterated from the Millennia web site. Apparently the idea has been dropped and Millennia Corp. has been mum about it, neither denying nor confirming its demise. I’m even surprised now to hear that there still remains fossils of it mentioned within the current release. It now takes its rightful place with all those other software titles from companies whose “vaporware” never happened. In retrospect, we’ve seen that no two users utilize the existing source templates in the same exact manner with some opting for additional notes and other modifications. Attempting to create such a “one size fits all” source conversion tool probably had too many variables thrown at it with the complexity of various sourcing techniques. The tool may likely have been bigger than the program.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool
Related item: I spoke with Geoff Rasmussen today at NGS in Salt Lake City, and asked him if there was a way for me, as a user, to create my own Sourcewriter templates. He said no, but it is something they are working on. On 5/1/10 8:34 PM, James Sweet jimls38...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks to all that responded.
