Re: [LegacyUG] marriages

[Pat Hickin]

But if there is no *known* relationship that resulted in a marriage or in
any *known* children, you don't *have* a marriage screen.  *All* I am
asking for is the ability to say (on the individual screen) that the
individual never married *without* making any kind of statement in regard
to children, since I have *no way* of *knowing* (especially for a man and
most especially for one long since dead) whether he fathered children.

It seems so obvious to me!!

As for those of you who are weary of this discussion, just don't bother to
read the correspondence on the subject -- !!

Re: [LegacyUG] marriages

[Ron Ferguson]

Pat,

You say “if there is no known relationship that resulted in a marriage” and 
continue “the ability to say (on the individual screen) that the individual 
never married”.

So if there is no *known* relationship then the person never married? Really – 
bigamists with an unknown first marriage for example? And I could give a number 
of others.

I have no particular objection to your request, but even by itself for somebody 
over marriageable age to be declared as to “never have married” because records 
cannot be found does not make sense.

  As a programmer you know that  for the statement "This person did not marry 
and had no children" to be true both parts of the statement must be true.

  If there is no marriage/relationship and no child the you would mark the 
"This person did not marry and had no children"

  If either part is false than either a child was born or a marriage occurred.

  If a child was born than a marriage/relationship occurred. The marriage 
screen allows you to mark "did not marry" if this is the case.

  If a marriage occurred the marriage screen allows you to mark " no children" 
if this is the case.

  I wrote my first program in 1967 and was a professional programmer and 
database designer from 1972 until I retired in 2004.  I have designed and 
implemented databases far more complex than that used by Legacy - which is in 
no way meant to belittle the Legacy programmers.  No database should be any 
more complex than necessary.

  If I (or my team) ever implemented something which did not reflect the 
reality of the situation we were emulating, then we would consider it a bug.


  All Pat and I want is for the statement "This person did not marry and had no 
children" to be split into two halves, and for the "did not marry" half to be 
available when there is a relationship record created in Legacy.


  If anyone has no use for that, then fine - don't use it.  I have no use for 
LDS ordinances, so I make no comment about them.

  If a person did not marry, then that is something which should be recorded at 
the individual level.  It is a little strange to suggest that the fact that 
someone did not marry should be recorded in a marriage record.

  Yes, I have entered this as a suggestion through proper channels.

Re: [LegacyUG] marriages

[singhals]

Nor have you any conceivable (sorry about the pun) way to
know /definitely/ any given fact in your database.

We none of us can ever *absolutely prove* any fact.  What
makes this one require special treatment?

On a much lower level, yes, I do sort of object to adding
*more* clicks and clutter to a screen -- any screen.

think any of us have a right to ask others not to discuss something
which falls within the remit of the list and is not offensive.

[LegacyUG] Another wish

[Mary LeClerc]

This may be available and I just don't realize it.

I can spend what seems like hours decided on just the perfect formatting
for the sentence wording on various events. I get it just the way I want
it.  Then a new circumstance prompts me to change it before I've thought
about the ramifications of  that change on the records I've already
entered.  Right now, it's so easy to change and I sometimes forget the
logic I put into the formatting I select.  Worse yet, I sometimes go long
periods of time without working on my files and I'm wary of coming back and
deciding to "reset" the formatting without remembering  why I made
changes.
Is there a safeguard for my absent mindedness..a way to "lock in" the
changes I've made so that I have to really think about the change?

Or do I just need to pay better attention?
Thanks,
Mary

[LegacyUG] Legacy use with Android

[Linda Nagata]

Aloha,

I have Legacy Deluxe and it sits in a Dropbox on my PC.  My PC is synced with 
the android.  How can I open Legacy on my android.  The android tells me to 
download a program that will open this program.  Do I need to download Legacy 
to the  android? 


Any help would be appreciated,
Linda

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy use with Android

[Brian/Support]

Legacy will not run on Android. There is no Android program which can
open and directly use your Legacy Family File in the Dropbox location or
on your Android device.

There is an Android application called Families by TelGen Ltd. which
will run on Android devices and can read a Legacy Family file. It
translates the Legacy data to its own database though and when you are
using Families you are updating that copy of the data not the original
Legacy File.

Families has a syncing application which you will need to use on your
Windows computer to transfer the change you make in Families to your
Legacy Family File.

See details on Families here

I realize that most facts are not absolutely 100% provable, but we all know
that zillions of people have had children out of wedlock. That men may not
necessarily even *know* whether they've produced offspring.

I just think there should be a way to say (on the individual screen) that
an individual never married without *also * having to make a statement
about offspring.

That's *all* I'm asking for.   To me it seems utterly reasonable.   It
really does not seem such a big deal to me!

[LegacyUG] Pictures don't show up

[Kirstin]

All of the sudden pictures don't show up in my Legacy. I am using Legacy
7.5 Deluxe on a Windows 7 computer. I can open the picture in an outside
program and it shows up fine. When I try to look at a picture in either
the Picture Center or Picture Gallery I see a bank square. I have tried
running repair  several times, shut down and rebooted the computer, and
reinstalled Legacy. I couldn't find anything in the tech support web
pages. Any ideas?

[LegacyUG] Corrupted address list

[Kirstin]

Somehow my address file got corrupted and when I try to access it I get
a "Run-time error 20009 LEAD Error: invalid file format" And only for
the event addresses. The mailing addresses are fine.

I am running the latest update of Legacy 7.5 Deluxe on a Windows 7
computer. I've run repair several times. The first time I ran it after
the problem started it said there are 2 blank records in the address
file. I've shut down and rebooted the computer and re-installed Legacy
(I also have a problem where my pictures don't show up in Legacy, but
that's a different email). I've searched the error list on the web site
to no avail. I have not yet tried the export/import recommendation from
the tech support web page.
