Re: [LegacyUG] Export of Individuals marked as "Invisible" Bug
John, Let's raise the tone on this list. Did you see the responses to my post on Software Testing? I got several more like that off-list too. While I feel your pain, your last 2 sentences are not welcome on this list.

RE: [LegacyUG] Re: [LegacyUG] Export of Individuals marked as "Invisible" Bug
John, I haven't looked for a while, but you are correct in saying that it does not work in web pages. However I recently noticed (this week) that two relatives were missing from a Descendant Book Report and this was because some time ago when I was really looking at the "invisible" function, I made them invisible and forget to bring them back! So at least it is working in that report.

Re: [LegacyUG] Export of Individuals marked as "Invisible" Bug
Hopefully this bug will be fixed in the next update. I think we just have to wait and see. I'm interested in a fix for the feature that excludes living people as if they don't exist.
