[LegacyUG] Place Hierarchy

2012-11-21 Thread Doug Laidlaw
Legacy requires me to uase the City, County, State, Country hierarchy, and I am happy to use it if it helps. There are no counties in Australia or New Zealand, and the English counties are treated as States, which is fair enough. So the county field is always empty for me (except for my wife's

Rich, In my opinion quite correctly, Legacy never gives advanced notice of improvements, and after the problems of the launch of V7 I hope that they will never, ever, give even a hint of a date. --- Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk GOONS #5307 Rich Falzini rfalz...@yahoo.com wrote: I want

Mike, I'll take a look at Legacy 8 if and when it is released, but I have already started the migration of my data to a program which I feel is/has outpaced Legacy's innovations (which have become very stale). I'll give Legacy points for their reports, but Legacy's GUI is definitely outdated.

The GUI is Legacy's trademark, IMO, and it is what I like best about Legacy. It shows 3 families at once in relationship, not just a list of names. One has to bring up an editing screen to change anything, but with others, one has to move to a families view to see the result. Each program has

I disagree with belaboring a negative assessment of Milleniums' performance; especially at the Legacy 7.5 price point! Millennia does an excellent job in a small niche market with a steep middle-managent learning curve and with pretty limited resources. I expect some hickups, as long as it

I remember the version 7 release (although not at traumatized as some Legacy users). I do think that with the advancements by other genealogy programs (most recently Ancestral Quest and RootsMagic), it would be nice to have some general idea regarding a newer version of Legacy. I think we all know

Yes, we've got a lot of great things coming. No, I'm not going to give any hint of a timeline. We've learned from that. Programmers are working 18 hours days right now for us. They've been stuck on properly implementing a major new feature, but it's getting there. I'm excited about Legacy's future

This is helpful as many of us buy ancillary programs that work with the current Legacy version. If a new one is coming, we may hold off buying until the ancillary program will work with the new Legacy. Wish there were a way to run two versions of Legacy, because then one could still use the

You could always add a father named alternatively Father of (child) or Son of [name of grandparent(s)] Then just be sure to correctly link the grandfather to the father and the father to the child, which you can do in either direction. CEFrom: louiseboo...@gmail.com Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2012
