Looks great, can't wait for the release.

[@holyvenia]

The new changes to RootsMagic look great!

[@GregKleist]

Just curious. The only thing said about release date is "we don't know when it's coming out." Are you not even still committing to a 2020 release?

What does TreeShare look like in v 8? If say you change a thousand plus surname name instances in a tree, via the data cleanup wizard, from UPPER to Camel-Case, and remove redundant white space from the associated BMD places, do you still have to OK / Confirm every individual change, through half a dozen clicks per person, before the changes are uploaded?

Was intrigued by the 'collapse' function in the descendant view. Will this function also be offered in the printable charts etc? I'd find it a great help as I have so many families with umpteen children and their umpteen descendants [etc etc] and manually re-organising them within the report screen to produce a visually acceptable print-out [eg in descendant wall charts] is next to impossible. Am looking forward to RM 8 as it appears much neater and nimbler to use. If the various printouts are equally user-friendly it will be really great.

hi, so there is a release date now? anyone thanks

There seemed to be no icon for FindMyPast when the screen to link to hints was shown. Is the FindMyPast hint function still going to be supported?

Don't forget there are Linux users out here! That said, RM7 does work pretty well under Wine! Still......

Trying to decide on a program and had a couple of questions that I can’t find the answers to. Watched the videos and looked on line but no luck. In Reports can you create an Individual Detail Sheet (aka Individual Worksheet), & Family Group Sheet? Also when you were printing charts and putting a background in, I didn’t see anything about making the background picture semi-transparent. I’d like to have that watermark on the pages under the charts but can’t find any printer paper with those. And can you link Find-a-Grave memorial number to the individual record so it links straight to the grave site page on that website? Link to Newspapers.com same way? Thanks so much!

D Tittle Thank you so much for all the info. Been a great help. I will download the trial version like you said just to play. When I download the purchased full version, does the info automatically transfer from the trial so I don’t have to re-enter everything? Thanks!

@@lisacobb7525 The info is still there and will be available in the registered version when you purchase the license. You don't re-download the program, simply open it (the trial version) and enter your registration info to unlock the full version features.
