Re: [LegacyUG] Source Dropdown Box Idea

2007-12-07 Thread lisagen
I think what you are asking for is something like Genbox does. IIRC (it's been a while) they have a tab in the master source that lets you see all the citation details attached to it. Effectively, this means you have Master Sources *and* Master Citations - which may add some complexity, but accompl

I don't disagree that it's subjective, of course it is subjective. But I respectfully disagree that it's just about impossible to estimate the quality of the fact. That is exactly what we do as we choose to enter, (or not enter, or enter with qualifying notes) every single field in our databases. I

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Location List - Surety

2007-09-25 Thread lisagen
I don't think it is really the same thing. Currently, surety is attached to a specific citation, not to the fact. One's surety about a given fact depends on analyzing and correlating all 5 (or whatever) citations attached to it and coming to a conclusion based on all the evidence. I really wish th

One bandaid you can try is to put the Source List Name, Author, and Title, etc. in [[double brackets]]. That seems to get the effect you want, although it changes the sort order of your master sources (the double brackets sort first). I tried just double bracketing the Author/Title, but then the So

I have concerns about publishing someone's email address on one's website in plain text, as in a source citation. The WorldConnect poster may have posted his/her email address on that site, but it is in graphic form and not accessible to harvesting for spam. Lisa On Thu, 9 Aug 2007 11:39:41 -04

No one you quoted said any such thing. What I pointed out is that surely buying the upgrade to V7 would be cheaper than buying V6 twice, the second purchase including the free upgrade. Lisa On Thu, 09 Aug 2007 12:41:51 +0100, "ronald ferguson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > It is normal for Legacy

One consideration is if you ever export or publish or share in a format that only lists the events instead of the sentences. It then becomes unclear whether the individual was the godparent or the godchild. Lisa On Tue, 24 Jul 2007 11:29:10 +0100, "Jenny M Benson" > > I really don't see the need

One major problem, if you just make a new Master Source, close it ... then open it and makes changes - clicking save will *NOT* give you the option to save as a new source. It will only do this if the Master Source is attached to someone. Lisa On Tue, 26 Jun 2007 10:08:26 -0400, "Sharon Perdue" <

However, putting sources on charts is hardly some strange personal preference. It is, in fact, considered necessary by the professional organizations of genealogy. Not having that capability is a holdover from older times - earlier genealogical programs didn't used to clutter up reports and family

A vague subject line also makes it likely that many other listers will delete your question without even reading it. People are very busy and need some clue that the thread has a chance of either being helpful to you or is a question you can answer. Lisa On Thu, 1 Feb 2007 00:21:27 -0800, "David

Depends a little bit on what you want and how you handle documentation. For example, many people use the name field to source the parent-child relationship. When you attach source to the Unspecified field, the citation shows up in web pages/reports as attached to the name field - that may *not* be
