Rootsmagic + Click to add father problem
This is a difficult one to describe so probably best to watch the screencam video below and try to replicate the
problem for yourself. Rootsmagic V4 has the facility to click the vacant person position on screen to enter
those details and also drag from one database onto a vacant person position in a second database.
This at present (4.0.9.3) does not appear to work reliably so best to use the well established method of
selecting Add from the toolbar then Individual, Spouse, Child as appropriate.
If you select the child, use the new onscreen + Click to add father, select existing person and
then add the mother in the same fashion you will notice that both the father and mother both show as having
two spouses. One set of spouses will show the child you just entered and the other will
show the children that were already with the partnership. If you check your database you will find that you only
have one set of (parent) individuals.
This has still to be resolved in version 4.0.9.3
