[LegacyUG] Legacy update 7.4.0.19 removed index information, also have two shortcut icons

I updated to the latest build and it added another shortcut to the desktop. The difference is the one added has Legacy 7.4. Would it be ok to delete the original one? Also, on the index tab in addition to the default columns I had added: Father, Mother, Marriage: 1st Spouse Name and deleted Sex

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy update 7.4.0.19 removed index information, also have two shortcut icons

Ann, Yes, the same thing happened to my Index screen. The columns were all squeezed and returned to their default configuration. It only took a couple of minutes to re-configure back to my preferences. It appears that when the up-grade was loaded it was set to configure Legacy's default, not

Hugh -- thanks ever so much for the quick reply that you had the same thing happen and didn't cause problems. Ron -- thanks for getting back to me. I thought about writing you about this privately as you have always kindly helped me in the past. I let the program go to the default, both say

Re: [LegacyUG] Census Information was Entering birth years into Legacy

As an indexer for FamilySearch I can attest to the difficulty of getting names, etc. correct when indexing. Some of it is guess work because the handwriting is almost unreadable or the photocopy is almost unreadable. When the names are of ethnic origin, if you aren't familiar with that culture,

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy update 7.4.0.19 removed index information, also have two shortcut icons

Before installing the last update, I purposely changed some options to be quite visible - bold colors, distinctive fonts, unusual columns in the Index tab. I didn't experience any changes to those options when I updated to the latest build. A few users report this on occasion and we're not

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering birth years into Legacy

I use CAL for any date that I have calculated, including from census information. I use EST for any date that I am estimating from cultural norms (ie, wife is usually 2 years younger than her husband... or has a first child around age 21 it is a wild guess with little info - but this

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy update 7.4.0.19 removed index information, also have two shortcut icons

Yes, that's what setting to Default does. Well, it shouldn't squish but it will reset the columns to show only RIN, Full Name, Sex, Birth, Birth Place, Death and Death Place. Those are the default columns. Thanks for using Legacy. Sherry Customer Support Millennia Corporation

I too like Calc and used it for years but have stopped 'cause it doesn't have a nice clear universal date qualifier word to print in narratives. For example; if I use Abt the word about (which the whole world understands) appears with the date in narratives. If I use Cal or Calc, whatever I enter

Michael, The new.FamilySearch has been in beta for a few years. There are all sorts of rumors when it will be available. I am on the test team and it is on .99 which means it is getting closer for release (Closer is relative). Having said that, it will probably (My assumption) only be available

New user here. I see some discussion about 7.4.0.19. When I check my version, I'm on 7.4.0.6. How do I upgrade? I could not find a Check for Updates option in the program, nor did I see any update download, other than the full program, on the site. Thanks in advance... Scott Legacy User
