![]() Well I ran my fact report using the "title" field (9 pages) only to discover that it SOMETIMES picks up the suffix but USUALLY it doesn't so I ended up with a report with 22 Henrys, 6 Richards, 4 Ottos, etc and now do not know who's who! I have to go back and forth to the screen. ![]() As the majority of my ancestry is European nobility, and I was entering in the era before surnames were required, I would enter Otto IV with Otto in the first name field and IV in the suffix field. After entering about another 500 records, I wanted to run their "facts" report. While the existing records transferred just fine (thank goodness!) the "paid" parts of the program didn't even come close to what was promised. I had already entered over 2,000 records and wanted to utilize some of the reports not available for free. However, I soon found out it was a "teaser" and anything useful was only available in the purchased version so I finally saved up and bought it. If so, this software would definitely get one from me! I cannot afford an expensive program and began using RM6's free version. I have no idea what magic they are talking about, but I don't see it. Hard to say what else to say about this because since it takes so long to download and will not even calculate your relationships, there seems little point in pursuing it. I had merely moved all my genealogy data and accompanying multi-media files to my new Dropbox folder. One would expect the interface and functionality would improve over time, not de-evolve. Remember, the problem wasnt caused by RootsMagic. You can then 'tag' a picture or media item with the person, family, event, source, citation, or place the. When you add a media item, RootsMagic stores a link to that media item, but does not put the media item itself into the database. ![]() There are a number of issues with the GUI that I do not like and the means of searching for individuals is less far worse than with PAF. RootsMagic lets you add unlimited media items (pictures, audio clips, video clips, or files) to your database. To be fair, some of their competitors will not even load the GEDCOM due to the file size. One example is that you cannot even check your relationship to others, which is kinda the whole point of doing genealogy.Īnother big issue is that it takes at least three or four minutes to load my database, admittedly a rather large file of over 230,000 individual names. All the good features are unavailable to those not willing or able to shell out however much they want for the software package. The free version is extremely limited in scope.
