Resending this - I don't see it in the archives, and don't recall seeing any
responses. If I overlooked responses, I apologize.
The recent discussion about ALT MARRIAGE event (which needs to be created)
brought this to mind:
When adding a new event, one thing I've just begun to try (in otherwords, I
have not generated any reports so not sure of the impact):
I start the event name with a period. That way I can see if this is a
"precanned" event that came with Legacy, or an event that I added (and thus
that might need to be revisited and tweaked).
I would think it might be wise to do this with a "modified Legacy event"
also? Make a new one instead of modifying an existing one, the new one with
an altered name and leave the "precanned" on in place?
Actually, as I think about it, it might be easier the other way around.
Modify all the Legacy pre-canned ones to start with some character. That
way those "surely this is set up right" events would be easy to spot. Thus
whenever I do a GEDCOM import it would be obvious which ones came in via the
import and thus might need visiting/tweaking. (With my current method of
adding a "." to MY events and leaving Legacy as is, the newly imported
events would become intermixed with Legacy's pre-canned ones 'cause neither
would have that leading special character. So it would not be obvious which
ones might need closer inspection.)
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I wish Legacy had a COPY EVENT, but I'm not seeing that as an option. I
only see ADD, DELETE, MERGE.
