Thanks, Geoff, which will help a lot. John -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoff Rasmussen Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 8:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] V6 Research Guidance Tab - Very Disappointed
Stan, We appreciate your feedback. I'm assuming you're talking about the Internet browser that's built in to the Preliminary Survey Sources. For a short-term work-around, after clicking on the Internet button, click in the browser area, then press Control-N. This will open a new browser so you'll be able to switch back and forth. We should add an option to automatically open the browser in a new browser window. By the way, all of the online sources that are referred on the Suggested Sources tab open in a new browser window. Again, thanks for the feedback. We'll work hard to continually improve the product. Thanks, Geoff Rasmussen Millennia Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.LegacyFamilyTree.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 3:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [LegacyUG] V6 Research Guidance Tab - Very Disappointed After working with the Research Guidance Tab for most of the afternoon, I must say that the implementation of this feature is immensely frustrating. Why? I find myself wanting to actually LOOK at my entries while deciding if the online information might fit. Left to their own devices, the online services throw everything they can into the mix. It's the twenty first century. We should be able to have multiple windows open, and compare things onscreen. I don't know who made the decision to display everything in one browser window, but it was a really bad idea. For example, I just checked on an ancestor that had a social security number, and had a social security death index source. It STILL gave me over a dozen SSI entries from the death index that were from the WRONG YEARS. It didn't even ATTEMPT to look at the information that was already there. <sigh> Mindlessly shoveling piles of unrelated sources at the problem seems like a step in precisely the wrong direction. When I create research to-dos, I'd kind of like to have real possibilities, not create a long list of stuff to check off - already did that, already did that, already did that, already did that, ah, finally, one that might be profitable. Very, very disappointed. This is great early 1990's technology.
