Re: [LegacyUG] Merging Basic Sources into Sourcewriter
Why? What's so special about the switch? Better yet, what's wrong with your current source that you can't fix it in the basic source system?

RE: [LegacyUG] Merging Basic Sources into Sourcewriter
Richard, As far as I know Legacy has not made any announcement regarding the conversion tool and I am sure they would not now ever use the word "soon" let alone "very soon" and where on earth "...a week or so" came from I haven't a clue.

Thank you, Richard. I have not seen any announcement from Legacy that the "source conversion tool" is ready to be released but even if it is, I would still like to know what is wrong with the "combine" method and why it was taken away.

Re: [LegacyUG] Merging Basic Sources into Sourcewriter
Elizabeth, If you look at past threads on this topic you will see that this question has been around since last September with no comment from Legacy. My e-mails to support have not been answered either. There are several others that are concerned as well. No one is questioning the integrity of Legacy, but some of us would like to know why a workable feature has been removed with no explanation.

Hi Lew, I'm with you. I also did several such merges under build 55 and although everything seemed to be satisfactory and definitely the quckest way to shrink my sources list I'd like to be sure. I have been told it is because the "Source conversion tool" is ready to be rolled out in the next build very soon.

Why do you think there has been damage to your file? Are your sources not displaying correctly? If so, what differences do you note? Are you getting an error message?

Re: [LegacyUG] Merging basic sources into sourcewriter
Hi Lew, I too was very upset with Legacy after upgrading from build 55. I had done a half dozen merges of old syle to source writer which required only slight touch ups. By the time I got back to trying to do more (after build 55 was trashed) Legacy was protecting me from myself and not allowing. I felt a strong warning might have been OK However, Legacy has a good explanation. The Source Conversion Tool will be available in the next build. You will first convert old source, then merge. -- Richard Van Wasshnova http://www.gencircles.com/users/vanwasshnova http://gw.geneanet.org/vanwasshnova On Mon, Dec 29, 2008 at 2:00 PM, Chick Lewis wrote: > I would like to hear from Legacy as to why this feature was removed > (build 76, I think) It seems to work very well and I have had no > problems converting sources from FTM16 into sourcewriter using this > method.

Re: [LegacyUG] Merging basic sources into sourcewriter
Lew, Thank you. I am *not* losing my mind. I am using 7.0.0.76 and can *no* longer merge sources. I tried the other day and could not. I was sure that I had been able to make the merge in the past.

I created new ones using the source writer and then merged the old basic source into the new one with the asterik in front of it. It seemed to work well, but after I upgraded to a later build (7.0.0.81)I was no longer able to do that. Legacy now gives the message -- "Basic Style and Template Style sources cannot be combined.

There was nothing wrong with my old sources. I created new ones using the source writer and then merged the old basic source into the new one with the asterik in front of it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Merging basic sources into sourcewriter
Lew does have a point, however, about finding out from Legacy whether there were problems with the merges, which those who utilized them should be aware of, and correct.

Re: [LegacyUG] Merging basic sources into sourcewriter
I think you should explain what was wrong with your old sources and why you need to convert them. Seems to me if they need to be reformatted, you could just reformat them with the basic system. The Source Writer has nothing special going for it in my opinion. (Taking all virtual bricks here.) Looks like I could get my own protest campaign going here, but this sort of protest (yours or mine), isn't really useful. Let's just find out how to use the features we do have. If there is something you'd like to suggest, communicating directly with the company seems a much better way to do it.
