Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing

2016-09-27 Thread Cathy Pinner

Elizabeth,

As you go through your file, make sure you tag those people you have 
completed checking and/or if you go through Master Source by Master 
Source, tag the source when it's done.


I'm slowly checking very, very old sources from when I didn't understand 
the source and also sources where only transcriptions were available at 
the time but now I can see the originals. I use the Show List and tag 
the people using the source. If when I finish updating this particular 
source, all their other sources are already OK, I tag them on tag 9. Not 
enough people tagged on 9 yet ;)

Elizabeth,
I'm one of them.
Say I'm entering a Source that is an Index rather than a transcription
- like South Australian Birth, Death or Marriage Indexes on FindMyPast.

I find the entry on FindMyPast and I copy the whole entry and then
names and dates and locations that I require either for data entry or
to complete my Source.
Then I start entering the data in Legacy. I set up the Source
Clipboard putting the whole entry in the Source Detail text and making
up the Source Detail with a combination of some of what I've copied
and boiler text I have previously saved in the M8 clipboard which
shows in a different column.
Then I enter the data again just pasting the relevant dates and names
from the M8 clipboard and source it all with the Source Clipboard that
I've set up.
So I only have to look at my source on FindMyPast once rather than go
to and fro - and t he typing I need to do on data entry is minimal to
none.
The M8 clipboard sits where you put it and on top of other windows so
is easily accessible - or when you're not using it you can minimise it
to Taskbar or System Tray.

I recall that annoyance with resizing the Legacy window as having been
around since at least Legacy version 7. I typically use a split screen
mode with Legacy taking up ½ and a browser window on the other half.
But whenever I have to resize the Legacy window, it takes several
mouse attempts with it just springing back to its original size. In
other words, the resizing attempt does not stick until the 3^rd or
4^th attempt. Certainly not life threatening but merely annoying.
Legacy is the only application that exhibits this behavior. It has
nothing to do with Windows 10.

I've noticed when resizing Legacy with the mouse on the edge if I hold
the mouse button down after I stop sliding up or down it jumps back to
the original size. I have to release the button as soon as I stop
sliding the mouse.

I just checked my laptop and it resizes OK. I can resize and hold the
button and it stays there. Both are Win 10.

The desktop computer resizes other programs fine, Only Legacy exhibits
this problem.

There is a time delay and the passage from one level to the other goes

It is the same thing with both v8 and v9.

There seems to be a sort of incompatibility between Windows 10 and Legacy.

Am I the only one to see this problem?

Re: [LegacyUG] Incompatibility with Windows 10?

2016-09-27 Thread Ian Thomas
I have none of these problems (see Brian’s post below; all other posts trimmed 
off). There has been an occasional slowness in redrawing all the screen 
components in Legacy – but I believe that is related to memory leaks in 
Internet Explorer 11 when I have an excessive number of browser windows open in 
it. That is not unique to Windows 10, either. 

I have Windows 10 Professional 64-bit installed on this older computer, on an 
SSD (solid state) drive. 

It may be that despite its age (assembled in January 2012 – certainly not with 
the “latest” components as I could not afford them), it has quite good graphics 
and memory (RAM). 

I use Legacy v8.0 Deluxe. I can use the mouse to grab it from any corner or 
side and resize, etc. That happens quickly, no flickers or movements out of my 
control. I have no complaints.  

As a software application (leaving aside its purpose and functionality), Legacy 
is not at all demanding on Windows or hardware.

The full size window is not the problem (just click the gadget in the upper 
right corner). But try making your Legacy window take up only the left half of 
your monitor screen. Click the gadget in the upper right of a full size Legacy 
window (if you hold your mouse over the gadget which looks like 2 sheets of 
paper it will read out as “Restore Down”). Now, regardless of what size Legacy 
automatically resized down to, try to change that size by moving the mouse on 
an edge of the Legacy window until the cursor changes to a double ended arrow 
and then click and hold down the mouse button dragging that edge to somewhere 
you want for the resized window. Release the mouse button and you expect the 
newly resized window to remain there but the chances are that it will spring 
back to where it was before. It may take 3 or 4 attempts until it sticks.

 

Try that same resizing movement on the windows of other applications and you 
may notice that they tend to stick when the mouse is released without springing 
back to its previous position.

 

As I said before, it’s not a critical error…just annoying for those users that 
want a custom size window from time to time.

Re: [LegacyUG] Incompatibility with Windows 10?

2016-09-27 Thread Bob Austen
I use Windows 10.  It would seem that the sizing 'issue' is only with
Legacy.  All other windows will size smoothly (for me) without any 'snap
back'.  It doesn't matter if I have Windows Snap turned off or on. To me it
is not an issue after the initial setup - I don't bother to change the
window size.  

 

I also have a dual monitor setup (scrimped on the pizza) and have no issues
with smooth movement between monitors.  A note here - if you are going to
dual monitors get two the same if you can manage it.  I have two Samsung 24"
monitors but one is older, with a slightly different aspect ratio, so a
widow on one won't size properly on the second.

Everybody's RAM is "solid state". For what it's worth, I recently switched

resizing problem continued. I've gotten a few emails from others who claim
they have no problems. I'm beginning to wonder if the problem isn't with the
mouse or more properly, the mouse driver. I've always used a Logitech mouse
but as far as I know the window resizing thing is a Windows functionality.
Legacy only stores the coordinates of the last window in one of its users
files. But you'd think that if it is a mouse issue, then the problem would
be typical across all applications. Oh well, there are more pressing issues
to deal with.

 

I've been wanting to go to a dual monitor setup for a few months now but
until my existing monitor shows signs of faulty display, I'm stuck with
using a split window setup. Well, not really stuck. I could always just
throw out the existing and bite the bullet by purchasing two new ones. But
I've got better things to do with my money like pizza, more pizza, etc.

I have the same problem when I try to resize my Legacy screen!




If you drag it to a corner it will size to the corner.  Drag to the center of 
the side and it will snap to half size and present the option of selecting 
another window to snap to the opposite side.  The position of the cursor when 
it reaches the side determines the action.

[LegacyUG] Legacy and Clooz

I have just been looking at the Webinair of using Clooz with Legacy.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who uses the two together and
whether there is a benefit to using them, or is it as easy to just enter
items directly into Legacy.

Thank you - June

As someone has said before, the trick seems to be to release the mouse

immediately! Any pause, and the window reverts to its original size.

then click and hold down the mouse button dragging that edge to 
somewhere you want for the resized window. Release the mouse button 
and you expect the newly resized window to remain there but the 
chances are that it will spring back to where it was before. It may 
take 3 or 4 attempts until it sticks.


Try that same resizing movement on the windows of other applications 
and you may notice that they tend to stick when the mouse is released 
without springing back to its previous position.


As I said before, it’s not a critical error…just annoying for those 
users that want a custom size window from time to time.

Re: [LegacyUG] Incompatibility with Windows 10?

2016-09-27 Thread Brian Lightfoot
The full size window is not the problem (just click the gadget in the upper 
right corner). But try making your Legacy window take up only the left half of 
your monitor screen. Click the gadget in the upper right of a full size Legacy 
window (if you hold your mouse over the gadget which looks like 2 sheets of 
paper it will read out as “Restore Down”). Now, regardless of what size Legacy 
automatically resized down to, try to change that size by moving the mouse on 
an edge of the Legacy window until the cursor changes to a double ended arrow 
and then click and hold down the mouse button dragging that edge to somewhere 
you want for the resized window. Release the mouse button and you expect the 
newly resized window to remain there but the chances are that it will spring 
back to where it was before. It may take 3 or 4 attempts until it sticks.

 

Try that same resizing movement on the windows of other applications and you 
may notice that they tend to stick when the mouse is released without springing 
back to its previous position.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy User Group Mail List vs Facebook User Group

2016-09-27 Thread Denise Moss-Fritch
Sherry,

Ah ha! So, _two_ Legacy Facebook sites. Well, that would explain what I found 
when following the link from the Legacy web site page and why there seemed to 
be no discussion location. Thanks.

Thanks too for the information about customizing software icons. I am familiar 
with that operation and have already used the option in the past. What I was 
thinking about was more the 'aged' appearance of the Legacy Home tab in the 
software. I was wondering why (or perhaps 'whether') the next version of the 
software would incorporate additional linking (displays) from other locations 
in the Internet. Seems only a few years ago that software development began 
including url links within their coding that offered a built in browser and 
address to mirror information (maps, tracking data, etc) from another location 
in the Internet.

Thanks for the response,

Denise

You can add two Custom links to the My Toolbar in Legacy. They can link to any

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy User Group Mail List vs Facebook User Group

2016-09-27 Thread Denise Moss-Fritch
Interesting discussion. However, I would appreciate a bit more information if 
possible.

 

At the Legacy web site home page I note the icons (upper right corner) for both 
Google + and Facebook. I’ve visited each and looked past the two social groups’ 
advertisement to join, attempting to see what each social group site offers.

 

I did note that the Legacy site at Google + identifies about 2,600 followers, 
with the Facebook site identifying about 16,000 followers. ). Each social site 
seems to be ‘heavily’ graphic (photos and drawings) and seems to mirror each 
other in content. Although with Google + requiring selecting separate tiles to 
‘follow’ a particular area of information, actually see what the topics 
represent was a bit difficult.

 

I did not see any user discussions at either social site (probably because I am 
not a member of either. How different are the discussion areas (content, 
graphics, etc) at each social site?

 

So, what can followers of these two social sites tell me about the advantages 
of each site?

Re: [LegacyUG] Incompatibility with Windows 10? and Clipboard question

2016-09-27 Thread Elizabeth Lindsay
I have Windows 10 and find this problem occurs intermittently with a number of 
programs/apps including Outlook, so for me it is not just a Legacy problem.

 

To the lady who talked about using M8 Free Clipboard: would you mind explaining 
in more detail how you use the program for sourcing. I thought my system was 
working well, but now realize that I could do a lot better if I tried the 
clipboard. 

 

Thanks,

Elizabeth

Hi  Cathy,
 
You are  absolutely right. Legacy has always had the ability to cite and 
attach sources  AND print them out with a FGS. I was talking about 
SourceWriter. Having started  with Roots 3, I had to find another program when 
Howard 
stopped supporting  Visual Roots (Palladium purchased it in 1997) so it was 
later that I started  with Legacy. Tried FTM but it had a really high 
learning curve (for me). So  Legacy would have been the 1st or 2nd version.
 
With Howard's programs you could source as a  separate entry, day; month; 
year as well as city; county; state if all  found in separate documents. I 
asked Geoff for years to add that feature to  Leagacy, now I just add that to 
the detail field.
 
I save my  sources by person mentioned so if I have a 1900 census it's said 
under given  name first name - 1900. So if I make a mistake or leave out a 
portion of the  citation, ie line numbers, I just make the correction in 
that one source and it  actually changes it in all the sources with that name. 
It doesn't happen if you  are using the detail screen, that has to be 
changed individually. 
 
I use the  detail screen for something that would only apply to that 
individual, ie  SSN.

Legacy has always had citations. I started using  Legacy in 1998 with

I think you mean before the SourceWriter and that you've  stayed with 
Basic Style Sources.

You still have the same problem if  you've used the wrong Master Source.
Perhaps you mean you only have one  Master Source and everything is in

Re: [LegacyUG] Incompatibility with Windows 10?

2016-09-27 Thread Richard Van Wasshnova
I've noticed when resizing Legacy with the mouse on the edge if I hold the
mouse button down after I stop sliding up or down it jumps back to the
original size. I have to release the button as soon as I stop sliding the
mouse.

I just checked my laptop and it resizes OK. I can resize and hold the
button and it stays there. Both are Win 10.

The desktop computer resizes other programs fine, Only Legacy exhibits this
problem.

Stick around here! The more who stick around here gives this list a better

I'm not a big FB fan either - I've tried but it just isn't my cup of tea.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v9

2016-09-27 Thread Cathy Pinner

Gene,

I'm a beta tester.
We haven't had a vote either.
There are hundreds of suggestions logged.
The programmers implement the ones they like.
They're more likely to consider ones that lots of people have asked for 
but that's no guarantee they'll implement it.

It doesn't matter if you send in a suggestion that is already

As a newish user you may find that what you want is already there.
Someone will respond with that information if you send in a

If you open the Legacy Home tab in the Legacy program and look on the

Use that

[LegacyUG] Incompatibility with Windows 10?

2016-09-27 Thread Georges Sarrazin
Under Windows 10, when ones tries to go to a smaller window, the process is not 
fluid as it is with other programs.

There is a time delay and the passage from one level to the other goes by step.

It is the same thing with both v8 and v9.

 

There seems to be a sort of incompatibility between Windows 10 and Legacy.

 

Am I the only one to see this problem?
