I sincerely hope that some effort is going to be put in to optimizing the gedcom export code for Legacy 8, particularly for large files.
In Legacy 7 the export to gedcom of the section of my file that I use to update my TNG site took about 10-15 minutes to complete. In Legacy 8 the same process on essentially the same file with the same options just took 3 and a half hours!!! The biggest culprit appears to be the "marking records" stage in between the first pass and the second pass. That portion gives the appearance of sticking in one place with no apparent motion that could easily give the impression that the export had hung (although it does eventually move on after over an hour to the next stage) Brant Gibbard Toronto, ON <http://bgibbard.ca/> http://bgibbard.ca Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ 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).
