Chris Hill, the retired IT Guru can probably answer your question about
Legacy’s Unicode capabilities, but as he said in a previous post, the
underlying database is simply and Access table(s) which based on version has
varying degrees of Unicode abilities.
When editing an Individual’s Information, the is a small vertical bar to the
left of the data fields that allows you to add “special characters”; perhaps
your u-double-acute. You can select various character sets, but I don’t need
it and would find it cumbersome if I did.
I for one could not abide MyHeritage. I have a fairly capable computer with
two SSD drives and a discrete graphics card running Windows 10 64 bit, but
MyHeritage runs like molasses on it, and I finally removed it. Plus, I’m not
paying for another program, especially one that has all the symptoms of an
early beta.
Legacy is a nice program, though it could use a cleaner interface, and I think
in general, Millennia attempts to take care of its customers, but this very
lengthy period without mapping is not endearing. It is critical when selecting
or finding accurate locations.
Should they fix the latest bugs introduced in .269 and bring a capable mapping
function back, I’d be willing to upgrade to a version 10 if required. Please
don’t start any rumors about a new version. I have no knowledge of one, nor
any insights into what Millennia is working on.

I am wondering whether this problem with the new Bing interface is related to
the problem of Legacy not being able to accept data which uses Unicode
characters, which most programs in this 21st century can, even Windows Notepad.
I have raised the Unicode issue several times with Legacy in the past and have
been told that it is because of the underlying database they use, and would
require a major re-write of Legacy to fix, so, is unlikely to happen.
Legacy is an excellent and very capable genealogical program, but, unlike other
popular genie programs, has this major weakness of not being able to support a
wide range of characters in the data you enter. For example, I have ancestors
in Hungary, but cannot enter names and places with their correct spelling
because the English-speaking version of Legacy will not accept Eastern European
characters, such as u-double-acute. It will accept only characters from the
Western European character set. (Legacy versions in other languages would
accept characters in their language of course, but only from the one respective
256-character set ("code page"). But this is only one aspect of not being able
to operate in a Unicode environment.
So, are we going to get a band-aid mapping facility, or is Millennia/MyHeritage
going to bite the bullet and fix Legacy properly for the 21st century, or are
they going to eventually fob us off on to MyHeritage's Family Tree Builder? At
least that program can exist in a Unicode environment. Millennia's "Customer
Service" certainly leaves its loyal users in the dark. Very sad. Come on
Millennia, take your loyal users into your confidence - you might even end up
losing less that way, if that's what you're scared of.

Re: [LegacyUG] Mapping Function
Peter
Without going into details, the Unicode problem could have been ‘fixed’ (those
characters handled within Visual BASIC 6, the Microsoft computer language that
Legacy Family Tree has been using long past its death-date); or by converting
Legacy to be written with another Microsoft language (or more correctly, the
framework supporting numerous computer languages on many different operating
systems) – Microsoft .NET (using either C# or Visual BASIC .NET computer
languages).
I think the merger/acquisition with MyHeritage would (have) complicate(d)
things a little. See below.
Re the “Mapping Function”: It may be that the change in the last couple of
years by Microsoft, that software incorporating the Bing Mapping API and which
has a large number of users (which Legacy has) must now acquire licensing
(costing significant $) became an issue intermingled with the MyHeritage
takeover. I am guessing of course.
MyHeritage, if it is to incorporate a revamped Legacy Family Tree for desktops,
has to rationalize its current desktop application that communicates and
synchronizes with its customers’ online trees (I have it on my system – seldom
used); and also to consider that the world is not all Windows (Microsoft) but
includes iOS (Apple desktops) and even the mobile devices (tablets – Apple and
Android) and the always-connected Google desktops running Android. Not to
mention mobile phones (but why would anyone want to have a full-function and
very comprehensive genealogy program on such a small screen? I think that is
crazy).
My plan – if I were a Millennia programmer or software architect - would have
been to transition to Microsoft .NET about 4 or 5 years ago. The NET Framework,
which in its recent (last 3 years or so) manifestations is quite transportable
across Windows, Unix, Linux, and the Apple and Android Unix-like operating
systems, is powerful and versatile and of course understands Unicode and is
available in many ‘spoken’ languages (not just English). This has been an
obvious migration path for almost a decade.
If Millennia was/is still using VB6 for its Legacy FT, it could have considered
Google Maps and it could have used the third-party tools (eg, a Japanese
company) for making VB6 speak Unicode (for English and many other ‘spoken’
languages). The latter has been around and well-tested for 6+ years that I know
of. I think Google Maps would require non-free licensing.
In conclusion, I should say that this is all pie in the sky because
circumstances have rolled over the top of one’s wish for a Unicode-compatible
Legacy FT with close integration with Microsoft, Google, Here Maps, or Apple’s
online mapping data and all the advantages of location to genealogy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Mapping Function

"Mapping will not be coming back in it's current form. The developers are working on something new."
