RootsMagic 8 Preview - Edit Screen

A preview of the upcoming RootsMagic 8 featuring the new Edit Screen.

[@RobertMarshall]

Being able to edit source citations directly form the user's page is absolutely fantastic! One of my problems it I've entered stuff over the years, telling myself I'll go back and cite it later. But, I didn't. Now I'll be able to do it when I enter the facts in, and I'll be able to see what needs citations that I can go back and edit.

Wow, been anticipating version 8 for a long while, and this just adds fuel to my fire! (And no, I won't ask when it will be available! lol)

[@patty5111]

Just so excited to get started on the new program. So much more usable and workable. Thanks for your integrity and wanting the best to be available.

[@heatherpedersen5916]

So excited especially to be able to cite sources directly from the edit screen. Can hardly wait!! Keep up the good work.

[@mabeldin]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving us the opportunity to sort by fact. Been waiting a long time for that.

[@spuddled]

The Primary Name option is a wonderful addition. I can't wait!

[@jerebecker538]

Great video; thanks for taking the time to make it. Stay safe!

[@bethpeters5456]

Very cool! Patiently waiting for RootsMagic 8!

[@NancyLTaylor]

Super Excited for the new features! Great job on updating!

[@CeliaLewis]

Some excellent update details here. Love the easy way to edit a family's details, sources, and more. Looking forward to RM8 when it's ready. Cheers!!

[@chrispfeifle2659]

Looking great, can't wait to see it.

[@sclindah]

This looks wo derful. Can't wait for the update. I hope it will be sooner than later.

[@jinnyangelis2629]

Looks like some very useful editing options.

[@joequimby5542]

Thanks Bruce.

[@jackiebaker5885]

Thank you for this video. I can't wait! But I will.

[@theocraticsoftware5538]

Thank you! Looks really great. Well done guys. I hope to be getting a Macbook soon and I like the fact I can use it on both Windows and Mac. Can't wait. :)

[@Jannyb25]

Busting here waiting, I stopped adding any more info to my RM 7 for Mac as it was a bit buggie, I will have so much to catch up on, hope its not too much longer, looks terrific, some great features.

[@sharonburrell1524]

Hoping this comes out soon...I think it's been about a year since I ordered it. I do have a question/request. RootsMagic 7 does not automatically put children in chronological order; will this be added as a new feature.

[@JustLikeRodney]

Good preview. In the last feature Switch To, I'd have the extra functionality to right-click that would do the same as left-click but instead allow an easier way to Open an edit screen of the individuals in the list. Lazy way I know, but just saying.

[@ianbrooke6342]

I do like that new edit person screen and can't wait to use it. My only comment is that I would have liked to see a section where it listed the persons' children with the ability to add/remove. You've got parents, why not children?

[@b.f4579]

Wonderful, Excited for hands on experience. QUESTION: On the zoom into media screen, are there options for adjusting image, lightness, crop, invert, etc.? Also, is there an option to show FamilySearch ID on person edit screen?

[@rodneykeller9106]

I like the ability to sort by date, facts etc. but it would be much easier to just click on the column heading to have it sort and to reverse the sort click on it again rather than open a sort window all the time. I believe this code is universally available in the majority of the program languages. I'd keep your little pop up window if you want to force the changes more as a default but for faster sorting just click on the column heading which would also allow sorting of the 5 right columns.

[@samuelcozad1074]

Any chance we can get a choice of the Classic UI over the Windows 2.0 look at feel? Guess I'll save my $$ and opt out of V8 if not. UI is a big deal breaker.

[@marchalmangen]

On the edit options... could you add merger facts? Because sometimes I have facts on folks like two different birthdays but I don't want to lose the place (source) when deleting the extra facts (like a birth date or death date). Then I could keep the two birth dates per say and I would choose the primary.

[@snydergc]

Thanks for your endless work. I'm impressed. I did not see the option to change fact type. Like change a residence to census. Where is that?

[@Nallareqrol]

ads distracting! :(

[@aram5642]

Great navigation improvements, I would be curious to see improvements around media gallery. On the other hand, visually, it is a big downgrade. The UI, once robust, clean and nice to touch, has now become a flood of all possible shades of teal, overwhelmed with massive, unreadable icons. Get a decent UI designer folks, don't botch this great product up.

add in rm 8 spanish and another language
