TMG exports memo field to GEDCOM NOTE tags for many events but, for some attributes, it is exported to the GEDCOM attribute value, e.g., RELIgion, RESIdence, PROPerty plus a few more. RootsMagic imports the attribute value to its corresponding fact's Description; NOTEs to fact Note. It currently truncates an attribute value at the 100th character on GEDCOM import, for no good reason that I can see. My RMpi utility processes the GEDCOM so that long attribute values are split on import into Description and Note. Thus there is no loss of the memo content but cleanup will be required. I expect that RootsMagic's direct import from a TMG project (under dvlpt) will be capable of handling wider attribute values but will still be faced with the dilemma of where to put them. Because the Description field text entry, display and report designs are for short values, the simplest approach is to direct short memo values to Description, long ones to Note, which is what is intended to happen with TMG 9.04 export. Cleanup still required. RootsMagic exports its Description value to a GEDCOM event/attribute tag's inline value and its Note content to a GEDCOM NOTE block. I expect Legacy operates similarly.

The TMG memo field imports into both programs as Note. I'm assuming that Legacy and Rootsmagic's Note and Description fields are actually memo fields. Correct? And does anyone know if they would then both export to another program? > > Barbara > *** > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to TMG-REFUGEES-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the message subject and body. > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to TMG-REFUGEES-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
