[PAF] Non-member submission from ["Thomas B. Lerman" <Thomas@KeyScouter.com>]
Thomas is a member of this list but is subscribed from his other account at
yahoo.com. For security reasons I screen messages sent to this list from
addresses not subscribed to this list. I have added Thomas@KeyScouter.com to
the "ok" list so the next time a message is sent from that address it will
go ahead and go to the list without my help.

> workaround/fix/etc.???):
>
> 1) PRINTING
> a) Allow print reports (Individual, Family Group, etc.) based
> upon records that have changed. Maybe parse through the changes log,
> sort, remove duplicate IDs (keep RINs & MRINs), & print report(s) based
> upon any record that uses the changed entry.
> b) It is not clear if can print the other fields (physical
> description, nickname, cause of death, etc.) in reports (Individual,
> Family Group, etc.).
> c) I know that I can print notes in a Family Group Sheet for
> either everyone or just the parents. It would be nice to be able to
> print notes for just the parents, but also for individuals that never
> got married.
> d) Printing a list of Family Group Records does not print ranges.
> For example, "9,11-17,21-24,33,43,55,63" will NOT print "12-17,22-24".
> e) When I print my Family Group Records, I found several
> problems. I hope my interpretations of the problems are correct. i) When
> the number of children causes it to go to a second page, the last child
> on the first page is duplicated on the second. ii) When notes span a
> page, it appears that blank lines are printed where text should be (they
> appear correctly in a print preview). I have also seen lines duplicated
> on both pages. iii) I have seen sources duplicated on two pages when it
> barely fits on one page. Also, I have seen a line missing from the
> notes.
>
> 2) AUTO-BACKUPS: The auto-backup is very nice. I got used to doing
> backups everytime when working on FIS / MIS. With "Backup prompt
> frequency" set to 1, it SEEMS to prompt every other time rather than
> every time as help indicates. I would like to backup everytime.
>
> 3) MULTIMEDIA:
> a) Include TIF w/LHZ compress image, got unsupported error. Could
> not OK dialog until I change window focus and then change it back (bug).
> b) It would be REALLY nice to be able to use the much smaller
> compressed files (TIF w/LHZ compress).
>
> 4) IMPORTING / MERGING: This has got much better with the newer
> releases. However, I feel that some things could be done to make it just
> a little easier.
> a) On many of the fields, I know that I can choose what to move
> and what to keep, but it would be nice to be able to view & edit other
> things like the notes, events, etc. (all of the data).
> b) If data is the same, then it would be GREAT if the checkbox
> was not visible or enabled.
> c) I am LDS and experimented with importing from a non-LDS
> relative. The import put their NON-LDS baptism information as LDS
> ordinances, which is incorrect.
