One feature that I would like in Split View would be an option to have all the screens synchronize on the "current individual" of the active screen. That way if Family tab were opened on screen1 and Pedigree tab on screen2 and Descendant tab on screen3 with Asa Clark Brown as the current individual in the husband position of Family tab...then screen2 would be the pedigree for Asa Clark Brown and screen3 would show his descendants. A click on Eleanor Huffman to make her the current individual would automatically sync the other windows with her as the focus. This would make simultaneous views of the current individual very convenient. If 2 databases were involved, the synchronization could be driven by the Intellishare value if both files have the same origin (or some other common identifier). If there is not a match between the files, then Legacy would treat it as it does now without any attempt at synchronization.

So the 6 screens are for viewing 1 or 2 files in 6 windows? Still is a great feature. Too bad that View>Master Lists and other commands cannot leave those windows open for both files at the same time for comparisons/updates.

Split screen does allow six views but only two databases can be open so those 6 views will be different sections of the two open databases. I was not able to find any version of Legacy that advertised 9 views. The most I could find was 7 in Legacy 4 and 5. Version 6 and above reduced that to 6 views.

Prior versions of Legacy allowed for up to 9 databases to be open simultaneously even though it was pretty crowded on screen. The current help file for version 8 states that up to 6 databases can be open at the same time. > > The "active" database is the one that the menu will affect.
