Re: [LegacyUG] GEDCOM Export - A serious bug???
Arnold, As the bug coordinator for Legacy I have great reservations about asking the programmers to change Legacy to allow what you have requested. If you click on the Help button on the GEDCOM export screen the very first paragraph is a step by step procedure for exporting a GEDCOM. Step two in the procedure is selecting the destination, using the customize button to change those selections is step 4. As Sherry explained in her response each destination format has a pre-defined list of items that are included. Selecting the Destination at step 2 sets those pre-defined items. Using the customize button as step 4 then lets you customize the items from the pre-defined defaults for the selected Destination format. If we change Legacy so the exclusions on the Customize screen are kept from one destination format to another I foresee, right after we issue the amended version, another message from a user who says something like: I customized my Legacy destination export to exclude item Y but when I decided I wanted to use the GEDCOM 5.5 list I expected that all the GEDCOM 5.5 items would be included. Instead I STILL lost my item Y data. That is a serious Bug. When I select GEDCOM 5.5 I want Legacy to give me ALL the GEDCOM 5.5 items without me having to revisit the customize screen and undoing any exclusions I made for another format. I believe the way Legacy works now is the correct methodology and is properly explained in the Help File for the GEDCOM Export. Now that you understand how and why Legacy works the way it does I trust you will see why I do not intend to submit a bug report to the programmers on this issue.

The difference between producing a file for Legacy, Gedcom 5.5, etc. is only in the items included and excluded. So if you don't want Legacy to change these then what exactly *do* you want it to do when you change the "Produce File For" setting? Changing the "Produce File for" setting should set the gedcom items to the defaults as needed by that application. Any customizations you wish to make in those items must therefore be made *after* that. If you regularly make a specific type of customized gedcom then you should save your settings to a file -- click on Save List.
