RE: [LegacyUG] Indicating ancestors by colour

[ronald ferguson]

Phil, I have always found that they work, not withstanding the version.

You do not say how you tried to set them so:

1. Options>Customise>View and check Ancestor Colour Coding then Save - this 
will give you the coloured boxes on the name pahels for your g parents etc.

2. Tools>Set Relationship (from whomsoever you wish) then
2a. Tools>Set Direct Line as Preferred

It does work as I have just changed all mine and put them back again.

My previous full Legacy downloads (not web installs) took seconds. This one
took at least 15 minutes.

Dear all,

I have just downloaded the latest version.

Even on broadband I was clearly competing with all of you, judging by the
slow crawl of the download!

Could some kind person suggest what I might be doing wrong?

I am trying to do two things and neither seems to be working.

I have set the necessary options (I think!)

1) to show up members of my tree who are ancestors

2) getting the four grandparents' colours to show

Neither option is working with the latest version nor did it with the
previous one (.110)

I have set two options, is there a third which i have managed to overlook?

OR, is this a current "buglet"?

Many thanks

Phil

Ron,

Thank you for that.

Yes, sorry not to have spelt out what I did.

I did both those two things!

Funny!

Well, no big deal!

I wonder if there is another option that can 
interfere with them working happily.


I'll play around with a few more

The 1-2-3 tag option is set and I know not what 
it does, so I'll start by unsetting that one!


Thanks for confirming it works for you.

Cheers

Phil

To get Ancestor Colours to show.
Tools > Set Ancestor Colours.

The new version is supposed to have removed the necessity to also go 
to Options > Customise. I haven't yet downloaded it so haven't checked.


Besides I'm just taking a short break and reading a few of my

Re: [LegacyUG] Indicating ancestors by colour

[Dora Smith]

Will it let you say, manually select all emigrant ancestors from France and 
color them green?


Then once you've colored all the emigrant ancestors green, is there a way to 
specifically select all the people you colored green, for instance, to 
export to a GEDCOM for a mapping project?


Will it also let you color code all six lineages who lived in Acadia a 
single color?

Re: [LegacyUG] Indicating ancestors by colour

[Brian/Support]

The Ancestor Colours use a system of colour coding your direct ancestors 
 developed by Mary E.V. Hill. There is a description of the system in 
the help files. In essence though each of your grandparents are assigned 
one of four colours. All the ancestors from each of those four people 
are then coloured so you can tell which of the four lines you are in at 
a glance.


Note though that if you are also tracking collateral branches in your 
tree, like your spouses ancestors, they are not on any of your four 
coloured branches so people on those lines will have no colour code. The 
same applies to siblings of your direct ancestors so grand aunts, grand 
uncles or their descendants will not have colours either.

Paul,

Did you click on the check box to turn on the option? Who was the person 
selected in family view when you did that? If ancestor colours were not 
on and you turn them on using the options screen the starting person for 
the colours is the person selected at the time.


You can change the start point for the colour system using Tools > Set 
Ancestor Colours.

Re: [LegacyUG] Indicating ancestors by colour

[Cary Stone-Greenstein]

However, you can assign a Tag instead of a color to ancestors who emigrated 
from France if your purpose of using the color green was to identify them.  
Then you can pull them up in a list of their own or select them for a separate 
report.

To change the ancesters' colours you need to go to Options>Customise>View  and 
in the Ancestry Colour Coding box click Change and adjust as you wish. (Don't

[Roxanne]

Go to Tools> Apply Ancestor Colors. A pop up box should appear, "Color Coding 
of Ancestors". The name in the box will be the starting individual for whom the 
colors are applied. To change the individual, click the "change" button, to the 
right of the name. Your name list should appear. Decide on an individual to 
change to, either by name or by the RIN. After you have selected, click "Apply 
Ancestor Colors", and you should be all set.

I did have it checked.  But when I go to any of my grandparents and click on
Tools > Apply Ancestor Colors, it puts the whole line as blue.  I have tried
it on each of the four grandparents.  

You said, "You can change the start point for the colour system using Tools
> Set 
Ancestor Colours."  When I click on Tools, there is no selection for "Set
Ancestor Colors."  But it does say Apply Ancestor Colors.

I'm still lost.

Paul,

Did you click on the check box to turn on the option? Who was the person 
selected in family view when you did that? If ancestor colours were not 
on and you turn them on using the options screen the starting person for 
the colours is the person selected at the time.

You can change the start point for the colour system using Tools > Set 
Ancestor Colours.

Re: [LegacyUG] Indicating ancestors by colour

I wondered why I suddenly started seeing ancestor colors with vers 117 & 
118. I had done everything EXCEPT Options > Customise. Thanks Cathy for 
solving the mystery.

To get Ancestor Colours to show.
Tools > Set Ancestor Colours.

The new version is supposed to have removed the necessity to also go to 
Options > Customise. I haven't yet downloaded it so haven't checked.
