[LegacyUG] ProMedia Manager
Has anyone had experience with the ProMedia Manager mentioned on the Pictures CD? It sounds neat, but I cannot find it on the Legacy Homepage. And by the way, we have an update: Legacy Deluxe 7.0.0.89! **Need a job? Find employment help in your area.

[LegacyUG] missing sources
I need advice. My next project is to add sources to all the people in my database who don't have ANY source. Yes, I confess. In the past I added names and dates, but after converting to Legacy, I've tried to do a better job of sourcing as I add. However, I still have quite a few (hundreds) who don't have any source. I've looked at the Missing Sources report. Here's my dilemma. The report is sorted by surname, starting with all those women who don't have a last name. Is there a way to sort by MRIN so that I could work on the whole family at one time, going down the list? Is it better to assign one of the visible tag numbers so that I can see at a glance who needs work? Has anyone else worked on adding missing sources? What is the best systematic way to accomplish this task? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Re: [LegacyUG] Print Family Group Record
Ron, Thank you for helping me. Changing to short locations is my fault, for some reason, sometimes things in the lower left of the screen I do not see. I checked the use short dates it works perfectly. The abt vs cir has me stumped. I had the circa changed to about and about to abt. I could not get, when I typed abt, to stop changing to cir on the report. Just now I changed about to about and circa to about and the report still reads cir. I have the dates for these people, for example, as about 1815. Am I in the wrong place? I went to options, customise, prefixes in the typed column for about and typed about I went to the display circa and typed about. Then I clicked on save. I tried closing the program, when I opened the program it still has cir. If this person, Hugh Cochrane, is the main person it has about. If I move down to the son then Hugh changes to cir. I don't mean to be picky but the people I send this to understand about they do not understand cir. Perhaps I hang out with some low life but the circa seems about as pretentious as does the compiler information - produced by, I would much rather have the reports read created or compiled by. While I am on my soap box, I have never been able to get anything I enter in the comments field to print. I like to have Additions and corrections appreciated.

[LegacyUG] bug in newest update?
I believe there is a bug in some of the Sourcewriter templates in the newest update. I've already submitted a bug report, but I wanted to save all of you the worry if this happens to you. For some reason, when you are entering the specifics in Step 2 of the templates, you will get a Runtime Error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument. The two specific templates I've had a problem with are the Artifacts template and the 1900 census template. When you click OK, Legacy closes. I can reproduce the error, so I've submitted a bug report. The Family record template worked fine, so I don't think it's a problem specific to my computer. BTW, running Windows XP on an HP laptop. If someone else tries this and gets a different result will you let me know?

Dede, Confirming the problem (which I've never seen before the 7.0.0.89 update; I have used the templates you mention with previous version 7 builds). For the 1900 census, I was able to enter data in several fields on Step 2, but it popped up when I started to type in the URL field. On the Artifacts template it popped up with the first letter I typed in the first field. I too am running XP on an HP Laptop, for what that may be worth. GI'm beginning to get impatient with Legacy. I've used, and loved, Legacy for years, since at least version 3, but my sources MUST work right. The subsequent citation issue STILL has not been addressed.

RE: [LegacyUG] Print Family Group Record
Ann, Let me get this right, Are you saying that in the Family View where you have a Cir this has now been changed to About, but in the Family Group Report it is still showing as About? If so try using 1) The reset button for the Family Group Report and if that fails then 2) delete the Family Group Report .usr file.

In the family view for Hugh Eliz they have always had about. It is when I do a FGR for their children that the about changes to cir. In the family view for Hugh Cochrane his birth is about 1815. In the reports, family group report he is about, his wife Eliza has about, his children are about. I do not have parents for him or his wife. In the family view for his son John Cochrane, I have dates for him, his wife children. In the reports, family group report John's parents, Hugh Eliza now have cir. I tried deleting the birth data for Hugh Eliz and saving, then re-entering the about 1815 and about 1820 respectively. Still cir in the FGR for his son John. I looked at the FGR preview for some of their other children, Hugh Eliza have cir. Before I would do the reset which is a pain I would just as soon take a dose of salts. Perhaps I should just send a disclaimer along with the report that the program I use will not print about for parents.

The Reset at the bottom will reset all your settings which is a heck of a pain. Why did you close the program btw?

Changing to short locations is my fault, for some reason, sometimes things in the lower left of the screen I do not see. I checked the use short dates it works perfectly. The abt vs cir has me stumped. I had the circa changed to about and about to abt. I could not get, when I typed abt, to stop changing to cir on the report. Just now I changed about to about and circa to about and the report still reads cir. I have the dates for these people, for example, as about 1815. Am I in the wrong place? I went to options, customise, prefixes in the typed column for about and typed about I went to the display circa and typed about. Then I clicked on save. I tried closing the program, when I opened the program it still has cir. If this person, Hugh Cochrane, is the main person it has about. If I move down to the son then Hugh changes to cir. I don't mean to be picky but the people I send this to understand about they do not understand cir. Perhaps I hang out with some low life but the circa seems about as pretentious as does the compiler information - produced by, I would much rather have the reports read created or compiled by. While I am on my soap box, I have never been able to get anything I enter in the comments field to print. I like to have Additions and corrections appreciated.

[LegacyUG] Impatience with Legacy
Connie, Have you ever seen any feedback from Millennia that they acknowledge any of the 'subsequent citation' bugs that we reported a few months ago (and thoroughly discussed on this list)? I haven't. No direct reponse to logging the bugs, and no e-mails from Support on this list about any of our discussions, as we sometimes see about other issues. I wonder how far down the queue these bugs are, compared to other issues. Has anyone ever received an acknowledgement that a new bug report was received successfully and entered into the bug tracking system? Would we have been wiser to e-mail our complaints to Support rather than to enter the bug reports using the Legacy Home tab? I'm copying Support on this e-mail, in hopes of receiving a statement of policy on bug acknowledgements and priority tracking.

That said, I've reported several bugs via the Report a Bug interface, and never received a single acknowledgment or message that anyone has even read them, let alone added them to the queue. Perhaps that's because they were already reported, but since they're still present in the latest build (and seemingly easy to fix since most of them deal with typos or formatting issues), what am I to make of the customer support response? Something needs to be done to improve this side of the Legacy interface -- either acknowledgment of *ALL* bug reports, or a public list of known bugs to reduce redundant reports.

Re: [LegacyUG] Print Family Group Record
Hello Ron, Back from my trek to the nearest town. In the family view for Hugh it has about for him his wife Eliza, also if one does previews their family group record. Thenwhen one goes to their son John and previews his family group record, John's parents (Hugh Eliza) have now changed to cir. Before writing this I looked at several other families that have a parent with an about birth year. These parents have about on their child's family group record. Of the ones I looked at it is just this one family. I tried deleting Hugh Eliza's birth year, and entering it again. Still cir. on their son's family group record.

Re: [LegacyUG] missing sources
Dede, I don't have the Missing Sources search in ver 6, so I am just imagining here, but could you tag those individuals from your search results and then use the Index view to customize columns to show minimal info but include tag # you selected from the Missing search and spouse MRIN, and parent's MRIN etc. If you don't get too greedy, you can narrow column widths to see all in one screen width. Of course, you'll have to use page down. When you find an individual with both tag MRIN number, select Family View, add your sources, and untag that individual. Please note that I am replying with this convoluted work around because although I have tagged individuals, I haven't read about or tagged marriages. Seems you should be able to tag all marriages with any individual that has the tag # given by your initial Missing sources search and use that list.

Re: [LegacyUG] Obituaries, Newspapers, File ID
At 01:34 PM 3/7/2009, Frances wrote: I am trying to reduce my paper files. I was thinking about tossing out those things that I have transcribed e.g. Obituaries, newspaper articles and census recordings. ie those things that are easily accessible these days (but not birth, marriage and death certs). Any thoughts on this. I see no reason to save *any* paper documents, unless you are the custodian of a one-of-a-kind public archive. On the rare occasions when you need the paper in the future, you can print another copy. (Those few contemporary documents needed for legal purposes are an exception, of course). Transcriptions are fine for me *if* the actual form of the original doesn't convey any information. Transcriptions are important because they are computer searchable. But in many cases, the form matters too - handwriting where the transcription accuracy is uncertain, signatures vs a witnessed X, marginal notations in a different handwriting, etc. For such documents, I scan the original in grey scale (and color if appropriate) at sufficient resolution to encode all the visible information, and then save the scanned image as well as the transcription. The transcription should contain a reference to the scanned image. Computer hard disks now have so much capacity and are so cheap that there's no longer any reason to compromise on resolution. (a one terrabyte hard drive is now under $100. That's a million megabytes!) For this reason, it's also easy and cheap to keep multiple copies of everything on multiple disks, removing any concern about losing the data when disks fail. Archival copies on DVD's provide yet another redundant level of safety. Another factor is that for the old, faded, documents we often see, a good grey-scale scanned image can be enhanced to be far more readable than the original. In such cases, I save the raw scanned image as well as the enhanced image, because I might someday want to use a different type of enhancement. For my own purposes, copies of documents that are available from a large commercial database such as ancestry.com need not be saved locally. These databases are reliably backed up, and sufficiently valuable so that in the unlikely event that ancestry.com abruptly went bankrupt and shut down its websites, some other company would arrange to rescue the data. Electronic images or transcriptions of documents stored only on small private websites can *not* be assumed to be permanently available. These sites can disappear overnight and never be seen again. I will keep local copies of such documents in my own computer files. /daveDave Damouth mailto:d...@damouth.com www.damouth.com Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Re: [LegacyUG] Impatience with Legacy
Adobe is actually fairly good about posting what they call the known limitations of their software, and as Ron mentions virtually all open-source projects have outstanding trackers and databases with test methodology to confirm fixes. Obviously if one commercial company is listing their bugs and the others aren't, it might turn off some users to purchasing that software, but consider the poor reviews we occasionally see for software that doesn't mention that some of its features are buggy, or simply aren't ready yet. All software has bugs, but acknowledging them and making it clear that they're being worked on would actually encourage me to consider a program over some competitor's software where everyone is just griping in the forums about how buggy it is, with no cohesive response from the company. Some acknowledgment about bugs and truth about where things stand (e.g. the fate of the Source Conversion Tool) would go a long way to alleviate current user concerns and encourage new customers to purchase the software. -Steve On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 6:18 PM, ronald ferguson ronfe...@msn.com wrote: Jackie, I do not know of any company who is willing to tell their competitors where/what their problems are.

I may have said it wrong. I didn't mention the auto-reply that says thank you, and we are looking at it. Because in the past, I saved all of my postings to/from techincal, and found that all were eventually fixed, or commented on at least in the negative. The best filing, one that chered me up, was a big change in L5, which from my reccomendation was added in verbatum a year or so later. About others of my real old ones, I was contacted in the last week, for clarifications. Does not mean a positive final answer, but they stated that they were reorganizing and revamping the monitoring sytem. What that MEANS is anyone's guess. But since last year, when fix dates were offered, and then unable to be met, and the tar and feathering they got because of it, means they are not going to estimate any more.

Of course, you'll have to use page down. When you find an individual with both tag MRIN number, select Family View, add your sources, and untag that individual. Please note that I am replying with this convoluted work around because although I have tagged individuals, I haven't read about or tagged marriages. Seems you should be able to tag all marriages with any individual that has the tag # given by your initial Missing sources search and use that list.

I want to sort by MRIN, not RIN. I have husbands and wives that are not even close to each other in the RIN numbers, but the MRIN would put them together. The number option button sorts by RIN. I guess I'll have to come up with Plan B for a systematic way to work through those with no sources.
