Wow, Jenny, in all these years I never noticed the wording of "Select a filename" which I agree is misleading especially to new users. I would suggest a simple change by the programmers to change this to "Enter a filename..." Problem solved.

When you click on "Select a filename and START EXPORT" the filename you are asked to select is the name you choose for the Gedcom you are creating. I think the use of the word "Select" there is misleading as it implies you are going to click on an existing filename, but you are not, you are creating a new file with a new name. -- Jenny M Benson -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
