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.
Still at present (5.0.1) this does not appear
to work so best to use the well established method of selecting Add from the toolbar then Individual, Spouse,
Child as appropriate. The problem would seem to be that the "+ Click to Add" does not seem to fall
into the same sub routine within RM as the traditional toolbar add Parent does.
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
5.0.1
