Legacy wish list

Legg inn av Steve Hayes » 09 jan 2006 05:23:02

When Legacy 6.0 was released recently, there was some discussion of what new
features it had, and how useful they would be.

I've been using Legacy for four years now, and like it, but there are still
some features it lacks, and which I would like to see. This applies not only
to Legacy, but to other genealogy programs.

1. Source clipboard work across files

To be able to copy a source from one file to another.

2. Print index cards

Print 3x5 and 6x4 index cards

Individual's information - top line with name (surname first, years of birth
and death, and RIN in top right corner. e.g

SMITH, John Brown (1855-1923) RIN 12345
___________________________________________________
son of James Smith [12343] and Clara Brown [12344]
b. 23 Jun 1855 London, England
d. 12 Aug 1923 Santiago, Chile
m. 19 Feb 1882 Rome, Italy

and so on

3. Link more than one person to events

It should be possible to enter events just once, and link people to them, and
also to print lists of events with names of participants. I believe The Master
Genealogist can already do this; it would be nice if Legacy could do this as
well.

4. Birthday Reminders etc

Better to have an export of data to PIM software than to have Lwegacy trying
to give birthday reminders. A feature to excport to MS Outlook and other
popular PIM programs would be more useful -- information such as name,
birthday, address, current spouse and wedding anniversary, and possibly notes,
would be useful. It could probablt be exported in CSV format.

Comments, anyone?

Note, I've crossposted this to several groups, to solicit comments from Legacy
users, but I've set follow-ups to soc.genealogy.computing, where the
discussion is most appropriate.
