Re: [LegacyUG] Names list - resizing columns

[Brian Kelly]

It is not an issue unique to Legacy 9.0, you have never been able to 
resize the columns in the name list window. The only control you have is 
in what is displayed; (you can select all 9 tags or only 3), you can 
turn off display of the hints and potential problem icons. Those choices 
are in the Options button at the bottom of the window.


The only other alternative is to change the width of your Name List 
window which will make more room for the Name. The details of the 
selected person can be shown using the detail tab, is that what you mean 
by needing to "hover" over each?


Using Options > Customize > View section 8.1 you can elect to include 
birth and death years after names in the name list (and other displays). 
That could help you identify your Cargill (and other surname) individuals.

It would be convenient to be able to do so: for example just now  I get 
several pages of CARGILL, and have to hover over each in turn to find 
the one that I want.


Resizing the surname column, even at the expense of losing the other 
columns or having to scroll to see them, would be more convenient.

[LegacyUG] Default Marriage Wording

[Margaret Gagliardi]

I changed my 'Default Marriage Wording"  in If Not Married - Person 1 to
"Never married".  In the individual view it now says "This individual never
married and had no children", which is what I want it to say.  However,
that option is now grayed out in the individual view, so that I cannot
check on it.  Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong?  I just cannot
figure it out. I am using Legacy 9.
Thanks
Margaret

Re: [LegacyUG] Hints

[Cheryl Rothwell]

Ah. Thank you Cathy. That explains a lot. It takes me to a FamilySearch
tree (which I do not consider a valid source) BUT when I click on the
source material "record" on the screen to see a source it takes me to
GenealogyBank and demands membership.

It appears the solution - the one I am going to try next anyway - is to
disconnect the FamilySearch part and see what shows up.

Re: [LegacyUG] Default Marriage Wording

[Brian Kelly]

You probably have the person married to an unknown person. Right click 
on the marriage box for that person and select remove the marriage link. 
That will make him/her single and the never married box on their 
individual screen will then become available.

[LegacyUG] Adding a check box to save - APPDATA in standard backups.

[olivannahen]

Hi Folks... I can only admire the knowledge many of you have about computers 
and Legacy.
I have been looking for how to’s  about adding a check box 
to add APPDATA in Standard
backups.
I can’t remember who mentioned this in the Legacy Users 
Group, but hope they see this.

It was mentioned as a needed feature but it does not exist yet. It is on 
the list of suggested improvements. If you want to backup your AppData 
folder you will need to do it yourself.

Re: [LegacyUG] digest mode?

[Michael Feldman]

  
  
Hi all,

If I'm not mistaken, this group is hosted under the Mailman program.
I checked the Mailman website and discovered this:

"Q. What does Mailman's "digest" checkbox do?
"A. Mailman's "Membership Management" screen shows the subscribers
to your list and the various options set for each subscriber. One of
these options is the "digest" checkbox. If a subscriber has the
"digest" box checked, that subscriber will not receive each message
as it's sent to the list. Instead, the day's messages will be
grouped together and sent as a single message. If your list sends
several messages a day, the digest option gives the subscriber a way
to cut down on the total number of messages in his or her "in box",
while still seeing everything sent to the list."

So apparently it would be possible for this list to support digests,
just by checking a box for the individual subscriber. There seems to
be no technical reason for Legacy UG not to support this. Legacy
managers, would you be willing to do it if a subscriber requests it?
Is there a downside?

Best regards,
Michael Feldman
Portland, Oregon

Re: [LegacyUG] digest mode?

[Ronald Bernier]

The biggest downside is that there are too many people who do not know how
to respond to messages in a digest (they tend to send the whole digest back
to the list repeatedly), and most of those who don't know how to respond
will not/have no desire to take the time to learn how to respond to digest
messages.

Re: [LegacyUG] Default Marriage Wording

Margaret,

You haven't done anything wrong this time.

It's an inconsistency in the wording that is being addressed. It may be 
in the next update as we've had notification that it's been fixed but 
haven't had a beta update to check.

[LegacyUG] Unable to backup my Legacy files

[Maria Fraser]

Hi Folks

Recently I installed the latest download for Legacy 9.0.0.189 and 
received an antivirus message asking if it was ok to go ahead with 
backup. I think I said yes. Since then I am receiving the following 
message:


*Backup error 503 cannot open zip file

*I have checked the help index for this error, but its saying that there 
is no space on the CD. I am backing up to my hard drive, so I'm a bit 
confused. Can you help. What do I need to do to rectify this error.


Cheers

Maria from NZ
