![]() But you can’t tell Grandma she has to keep an old computer when she just got her first computer and it has 64-bit Windows Vista on it. ![]() ![]() As a techie I had a 32-bit XP laptop so this worked for me, until it died and had to be replaced with a Windows 7 system. Suggested workarounds included exporting to a PDF or plain text file or keeping an old computer running Windows XP 32-bit version. Since Microsoft 64-bit operating systems became widely available and the default installed on new computers, about 2006 or 2007, TMG users with a 64-bit OS have not been able to export genealogy reports to a word processor file.I can’t blame the company for making a decision that brings them many new customers and more income. My personal research was at a point where I really needed one of the new features in TMGv5. TMGv5 was delayed for over a year, in part, while features were added to entice customers of another software program that had folded (UFT).Twice in the last ten years there have been long delays for new releases of TMG.What convinced me to endure the pain of converting my data? Two big things and a few small ones: Switching from one genealogical software program to another can be an excruciating ordeal. And both versions have some features that aren’t in TMG-some that are important to me. RootsMagic version 4 has most of the advanced features I use in TMG. I found features in RootsMagic that I really liked. While I really liked TMG, too many had trouble understanding it when I tried to teach it to my local society members. I didn’t want to have to teach a non-techie how to use TMG. ![]() I started using RootsMagic when a client wanted the research I performed to be entered into a database they could get at the end of the project. But in the last sixteen years several other programs have caught up with TMG. I’ve been a user of TMG since 1995-way back in the DOS days.Īt the time TMG was the most sophisticated, advanced, user-customizable genealogy software of all the applications I tested. As a techie, being able to customize my software appealed to me in a big way. By 1995 EFT wasn’t being updated and I had been reading about The Master Genealogist (TMG) and its advanced features. I found Everyone’s Family Tree (EFT) by Bill Dollarhide and happily used it for many years. I tried FTM and quickly decided it was only good for pretty charts as far as I was concerned. For a few months I used PAF which was limited in source citation implementation and other ways. My software of choice changed in the beginning years of my research, but I’ve used one program for over sixteen years now. I’m switching to RootsMagic as my main genealogy software. At least, according to my genealogy software buddies. Others may have different interpretations of these events.ĭon’t tell anyone, but I’ve been a secret heretic for almost a year now. So if you had a character id MyMod.16 and needed to scope there from event script, you would write "character:MyMod.Disclaimer: This post contains opinions based on my understanding of events and my experiences. However a period is also used for scope chaining. I had naively adopted CK3's own precedent and prepended namespaces to the numberic id with a period. Version 1.1 is out! It critically solves an issue with character ID namespacing.
