There is a link to the suggestion form in the Support section of the Legacy 
Home tab or you can just go to the website www.LegacyFamilyTree.com and look 
under Help Center.

Ahnentafel means "ancestor table". It's a report of the starting person's 
ancestors. Children of siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, other spouses, etc are 
*not* your ancestors, hence they're not in Ancestor or Ahnentafel reports. I 
don't know of any program which shows this type of ancestor report.

TreeDraw Legacy does allow you to create a chart with additional lines in it, 
so you could do that, but it has a steep learning curve and each line beyond 
the starting one must be added separately.

Re: [LegacyUG] Quetion on old date

2016-09-30 Thread CE WOOD

It depends on the country. For simplicity, Wikipedia:


"

Western Europe:
For 170 years (1582-1752), both dating systems were in concurrent use in 
different parts of western Europe and its colonies. During this period the 
difference between the styles increased from ten to eleven days due to the 
Julian calendar's excess of leap years (i.e., Julian leap-year 1700 vs 
Gregorian non-leap-year 1700). France changed from the Julian to the Gregorian 
calendar on 9 December 1582 (O.S.) so the next day was 20 December 1582 (N.S.). 
France used the French Republican  Calendar from 22 September 1792 (N.S.) to 31 
December 1805 (N.S.). Great Britain (under the provisions of the Calendar (New 
Style) Act 1750) and the British colonies (including Ireland) changed from the 
Julian to the Gregorian calendar at midnight on Wednesday 2 September 1752; the 
next day was Thursday 14 September 1752.It is sometimes remarked that William 
Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes died on the same date, 23 April 1616, but 
not on the same day. England was still using the Julian calendar in 1616, while 
Spain was using the Gregorian calendar. Cervantes actually died ten days before 
Shakespeare.

question



I’ve tried those changes to the settings in the past; Legacy continues to
spring back. In playing around with resizing the Legacy window again this
afternoon, I noticed this strange behavior. I would click on one edge of
the Legacy window and then attempt to drag that edge to a new larger
window, for example changing from ¼ screen to ½ screen. But I would drag
very slowly. After about 3 seconds of dragging and WITHOUT me releasing the
mouse button, the Legacy window would automatically spring back to its
previous position. It’s as if there is a time limit to resize the Legacy
window.



I did find a workaround for the springy resizing problem. For example,
let’s assume that the Legacy window was approximately ¼ screen and I wanted
to make it ½ screen, occupying the complete left half of the screen. After
repositioning the window into the top left corner of the screen and then
dragging the lower edge of the window down towards the bottom of the
screen, this is where the spring-back to its previous position behavior
starts. But if I only drag the lower edge down only about 1 or 2 inches and
release instead of all the way down in one attempt, then things work
normally. It may take 4 or 5 mouse drags to finally get the window to
occupy the desired ½ screen. So not only is there a time limit for resizing
but also a finite limit on the amount of resizing. Strange. I think I’ll
check other applications to see if I can find a similar behavior.

Trouble with Legacy & resize windows.

I posted this back about March.  You might try it.

Microsoft in all their wisdom. created "Snap Assist" to auto arrange
windows.

Try adjusting your Windows from auto snapping your windows.  If you don't
like this just redo these steps.

Windows 10  =To disable Snap Assist launch the Settings app from your Start
Menu. From the Settings window, click System. Find & click Multitasking in
the column on the left. Under the “Snap” category on the right set choices
to Off. This will disable Snap Assist in Windows 10.

Windows 7 = to stop window snapping. Open up your Control Panel, and then
go to the Ease of Access center. From there, click on “Make the mouse
easier to use”… And then remove the checkbox for “Prevent windows from
being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen”, and
then click the Apply button to actually save the setting

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 3rd or 4th 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.

“Honey, I’ve got the divorce papers” didn’t come out of Geoff’s mouth how
he intended when he showed his wife the package he received in the mail. It
was a divorce case from 1879 which, although heartbreaking, began to unlock
the identities of the children of Marsden and Jane Brown.

In this webinar, Legacy’s Geoff Rasmussen will begin to document and
assemble the family using records he recently discovered (divorce papers,
census records, obituaries, and marriage records). You are invited to watch
live as he adds the information to his personal Legacy family file. In this
live, unscripted session, Geoff will talk his way through setting up the
source clipboard, adding custom events, utilizing the To Do List, stitching
multiple pages into a combined digital file, and adding the new information
he found. Viewers will learn data entry and analysis skills for most
efficiently using Legacy Family Tree to assemble ancestral families.

I often resize the Legacy window as I resize other windows and have not 
seen this behaviour at all under Windows 10 or previously with Win 8.1, 
7 etc.


You could, with Legacy closed, try deleting Documents\Legacy Family 
Tree\_AppData\usr\Legacy2.usr which holds your sizes for each Legacy window.

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

I’ve tried those changes to the settings in the past; Legacy continues to 
spring back. In playing around with resizing the Legacy window again this 
afternoon, I noticed this strange behavior. I would click on one edge of the 
Legacy window and then attempt to drag that edge to a new larger window, for 
example changing from ¼ screen to ½ screen. But I would drag very slowly. After 
about 3 seconds of dragging and WITHOUT me releasing the mouse button, the 
Legacy window would automatically spring back to its previous position. It’s as 
if there is a time limit to resize the Legacy window.

 

I did find a workaround for the springy resizing problem. For example, let’s 
assume that the Legacy window was approximately ¼ screen and I wanted to make 
it ½ screen, occupying the complete left half of the screen. After 
repositioning the window into the top left corner of the screen and then 
dragging the lower edge of the window down towards the bottom of the screen, 
this is where the spring-back to its previous position behavior starts. But if 
I only drag the lower edge down only about 1 or 2 inches and release instead of 
all the way down in one attempt, then things work normally. It may take 4 or 5 
mouse drags to finally get the window to occupy the desired ½ screen. So not 
only is there a time limit for resizing but also a finite limit on the amount 
of resizing. Strange. I think I’ll check other applications to see if I can 
find a similar behavior.

Trouble with Legacy & resize windows.

I posted this back about March.  You might try it.

Microsoft in all their wisdom. created "Snap Assist" to auto arrange windows.

Try adjusting your Windows from auto snapping your windows.  If you don't like 
this just redo these steps.

Windows 10  =To disable Snap Assist launch the Settings app from your Start 
Menu. From the Settings window, click System. Find & click Multitasking in the 
column on the left. Under the “Snap” category on the right set choices to Off. 
This will disable Snap Assist in Windows 10. 

Windows 7 = to stop window snapping. Open up your Control Panel, and then go to 
the Ease of Access center. From there, click on “Make the mouse easier to use”… 
And then remove the checkbox for “Prevent windows from being automatically 
arranged when moved to the edge of the screen”, and then click the Apply button 
to actually save the setting

I have Windows 10 and find this problem occurs intermittently with a number of

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,

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.
