I don’t disagree with the company’s release of a new version since it has new and desirable features for some, but fix the bugs in the old version before further development stops. We bought the software believing that the bugs would be fixed and they haven’t been. These little aggravations should be fixed. This time it jumped to the beginning of the first line at the top of the file.Īll of these this evening when searching for the bug that I had been able to reproduce for Renee several months ago were sporadic occurrences. I was several lines down in a text and deleted a space to make lines wrap. When I clicked with my arrow button to see it, it had jumped to the end of the entire line. I deleted the space at the end of the first line, which brought the 2nd line up to the correct place, but the cursor had disappeared. A line had not wrapped (not the fault of RM8, it was imported). Not all features are shown and some features may change before final release.Index. I just had one when I was searching for it. An unedited demonstration of an unreleased RootsMagic 8 by Bruce Buzbee. There is another one which I’m having trouble reproducing at the moment to describe it to you, but which was still there a day or so ago where when you delete something on a lower line, the cursor jumps to the end of the very first line of the edit window. You have to move the cursor with an arrow key or click somewhere with your mouse to bring it back. In the edit window, delete a space or a letter and the blinking cursor disappears. That said – what bugs in 8.5.0 have you found that present? (I wish RM would remain on the right monitor where I like to use it, too.) I’m operating on Windows 10 with dual monitors. I have to then close the program and reopen it. I think that RootsMagic will release more screen views in the coming months, and as the release of the RootsMagic 8 program becomes reality there will be videos on the RootsMagic TV YouTube channel and also in their blog posts and their RootsMagic Users Facebook group. The end result is that I spend way too much time switching back and forth from the mouse to the keyboard.įinally, what’s with the “RootsMagic has encountered an error” messages? I’m not sure that’s the exact wording but it happens a lot. I realize it was a complete overhaul but these useful “features” should never have been deleted. In terms of features, I wish we still had the Alt-S for sources or Alt-O to close a source, event, note, or whatever. I enter the date and location, then click on the sources icon and the date and location disappear and I’m left with a source on an empty event. I persevered with it given that it was a new release that was long awaited. I have now been using RM8 Windows version for nearly 18 months. Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X, and Ctrl-V seem to be OK but Ctrl-Shift+an arrow key seldom works and/or gives an error message, “You have reached the end of the history list.” Also, when creating a note for an event, if I hit the delete button at the end of a line and then hit the down arrow, the cursor jumps to the very top of the note.Īlso, I’ve had problems when entering an event. RootsMagic Review by John Soppet, Rating I reviewed RM8 in April 2022. We are pleased to announce that RootsMagic 7 is now available for Apple computers running macOS 10.15 Catalina. Most editing key shortcuts are missing and some simply don’t work correctly.
