Just began using Roots Magic (4) for the first time. Have always used PAF, now V5. Still working between them. Glad Roots Magic will import PAF files.
Wish the person boxes contained a little more info.

I considered it an honor to be a part of the community preview and beta testing. There are still a couple of ideas that I would like to see and I will send an email about them. The improvement from rm3 to rm4 is incredible especially in the look of the various screens. When doing the merges highlighting information is a good idea the only drawback is that once merged it would be nice if the merged person’s whole record stays on screen so that you can check and see what is there rather that having to go back to a record. Including children and facts listed.

Hi Bruce

Could you consider giving a revised delivery date for RM4 public beta availability? – really looking forward to it!

Thanks
Jim

Jonathan, I have to agree with you. Every thing I’ve tried has worked perfectly.

What’s happening, Bruce & team. It’s been quite some time since a blog update?

Please make sure I am down for the beta trial, I have been very patient but need to get my hands dirty now.

I’ve been using the community beta since the first one and I feel very guilty that I have found nothing to report. I’ve just a few thousand names in the database, not the nearly-unbelievable two million, but I haven’t made it break yet. Please accept my apologies.
It also looks great!

Vicki

I think the new person screen layout will be very useful in that respect. As far as I can understand you can set the screen up like a table to display what you want.

Is there any possibility that in RootsMagic 4 there could be an option to create tables for analyzing data within research notes? My other request would be the ability to create a research log similar to the ones created by the freeware program Bygones?

I am very anxiously waiting to get to play around with the public beta. Any news yet on when it’ll be rolling out to the public?

I’m really excited, please make it public soon Bruce, we all know how hard you’re working on this =)

I have looked at the documentation for this and it looks great. I have been using V3 for a few years now and its the best software for my needs.

Will probably buy v4 as the next logical upgrade to v3, plus I have yet to find another program that can match it.

Is there any update on the public beta?
