Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports
All the gripes about MyHeritage buying Legacy is pretty much mirror of Ancestry when they went on buying spree. The user looses out yet It was the user's who did and STILL DO, I will stress but that both Legacy and MyHeritage are still doing a good job of looking after members (wish multiple user costs would reduce).

Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports
I also use dropbox. I have dropbox installed on 2 computers at home, this will automatically update when I use the second computer. I only use legacy on one computer to avoid any syncing issues. I then also have an external drive on my 1st computer using backup software this then runs continuous backups (I have it set to every 20mins, but you can go as low as every 10 seconds). So the data is stored on 2 computers, 1 external hard drive and on the cloud. This is all setup so I don't have to do anything to backup, it is all automatic. The free version of dropbox has plenty of storage space for me.

Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports
The issues with Hints is not down to Legacy. It is limited by the speed that the websites will response to the requests that it receives and the limitations that they have put on Legacy, plus if they change their interface then Legacy has to update the system.

Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports
What I'm hoping for is that I'll be able to upload not only the individuals, and what user controls come in a gedcom, but all that's in individuals' Media Gallery as well to websites such as myheritage.com, and from the little I understand, it seems that will never be possible. Correct? I don't use many of the bells and whistles in Legacy also. I tried but have found that even with instructions, it's not intuitive (to me). Juergen, I'd like to know more about your combination of Legacy & TNG and have a peek at your site. Basically, I like to know if you can accomplish what I first mentioned - having the Media Gallery accessible online to anyone. I have a myheritage.com account that I upload gedcoms to periodically but would love a way to have Legacy's Media Gallery in myheritage.com or any other online site, without manually attaching each and every one to their respective documents in myheritage.com. I am well over 50,000 individuals, some with as many as 60 documents and/or photos - that is my method of sourcing. I have tried to upload to myheritage.com all of my media but it crashed. I assume that when it comes to what I'm looking for, it won't matter if it's Legacy or RootsMagic.

Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports
I too have become disenchanted with Legacy Family Tree. One of the main reasons I switched to it was to get hints from MyHeritage. I keep seeing lots of complaints about the hinting mechanism not working or being down. I was also impressed with all of Legacy's features that aren't in the other programs. However, I don't utilize Legacy to its full capabilities. It's a bit complicated to remember all the bells and whistles for the casual user. Now that RootsMagic 8 has been released and gives hints from the three major sites (Ancestry, FamilySearch, and MyHeritage) I am going to switch to it. I hear Legacy 10 is under development but there has been no official announcement. It will likely be more than a year before it is available. I will give Legacy another look when version 10 is released.Robin Original message From: Larry Lachance Date: 1/28/22 7:52 AM (GMT-08:00) To: 'Legacy User Group' Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports I am going to chime in here!

Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports
Generally so am I, but it could be better. Unfortunately, to do that will require a total rebuild, given that the Legacy application is still written in VB 6. The Charts program seems to be written in Borland (now Embarcadero) Delphi and the Hints program is .NET based.

Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports
To publish my data online I use TNG (The Next Generation genealogy software). I use Legacy as my main database on my home computer and export (whenever I made some changes or additions) a Gedcom file to my website and import it into my online database. There I have a lot of additional report possibilities. The combination of Legacy and TNG is for me the best solution. Feel free to check it out. No you don’t have access to information for living people without permission from me :).
