The Master Genealogist 6.0.2 (whollygenes.com) is now available. From their website:
The Master Genealogist (or “TMG”) v6 is the gold standard in family history software. Used by novices and professional researchers alike, the latest version reinforces TMG’s reputation as the most powerful family history project manager on the market while adding many new features to make it easy and fun to use.
This free update includes a collection of bug fixes and new features. Some of the new features include disabling many prompts and warnings from the prompt, rather than going into Preferences, increased functionality in the Tag Entry citations window concerning citations, and new right-click menu options in the memo fields.
New Features:
- Many prompts and warnings can now be disabled from the prompt without the need to go to Preferences.
- The font size for prompts and warnings can now be adjusted on the Other tab in Preferences. The default size is 8 points.
- A right-click menu has been added to the Tag Entry citations window that will add or remove exclusion marks to citations without opening the Citation screen, and without adding the citation to the repeat list.
- The Preferences settings for List and Project Explorer fonts and font sizes are now all stored in the layout files. After installing v6.02.000, you need to resave (overwrite) your layouts to add the font settings to the layout files.
- The memo seen on the Data Set Manager screen is now read-only. To edit the data set memo, click the [Edit] button.
Memo fields with formatting options now have two new right-click menu options.
- ‘Show no codes’ expands the memo to a read-only window showing no formatting or formatting codes.
- ‘Show formatting codes’ reveals all formatting codes and lets you find any case of unbalanced codes. ‘Apply formatting codes’ returns the memo display to the normal state of showing any formatting that has been applied.
