It would seem to me that if you use an original source, and in this case
all of my data was imported using GEDCOM, followed by two days of
'playing around' and saving the result, then I am using Source Writer.
Not exactly. Your source already existed, therefore when you edit it,
you use the version 6 method of creating/assigning/citing sources. If
you create a new source, but copy bits and pieces of the existing
source, then you'd be using the version 7 methods i.e. Source Writer.
I am a new user of Legacy and just starting to figure things out.
Is this what the Source Conversion tool is supposed to do?
If they ever figure out how to get it done without causing an extreme
amount of furore on this list from people that didn't like the way the
conversion was done.
My thoughts here are: KISS. Keep it simple! When creating a new, Source
Writer derived source, allow the user to select an existing Master
Source and display the details (read-only) alongside the entry fields
for the new source. Then, let the user copy and paste between the two
panels. Result: any cock-ups are due to the user, not Legacy.
