Reunion 9.05

Posted on June 7, 2007 by admin

A new version of Reunion 9 has been released - Reunion 9.05. It requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 and can be downloaded from the Reunion Update Page (LeisterPro.com). This release includes several new features, including a “Find on this Page” and “Repair multimedia links” - especially helpful when moving data around.

New Features:
* “Find on this Page” added to note fields, logs, and sources. This makes it easy to find words in long note fields, logs, and the free-form text field of source records.
* Repair multimedia links - a new feature to help you find and resolve broken multimedia links. See the new Repair button in: Reunion -> Preferences / Multimedia / Locations.
* “Paste as Plain Text” - a new menu item for pasting text in notes and logs that will strip text styles and colors from the pasted text.
* Enter source by number. If you’re familiar with your source numbers you can document the source of data even faster.
* Added the ability to search for “married name” in the Index and in the family card search box. Just use a dash before the name in the search box. For example, searching for “-clinton, hilary” would create a list of all the Clintons, including anybody who married a Clinton.
* In Sibling popup menus, child status is appended to names of siblings.
* Picture windows - added more zoom choices when Control-clicking a picture window or using the Picture menu.

Changes:
* Ages window - Escape key closes the Options sheet.
* Calendar window - the “Living Only” button changes to “Married Only” if Marriage is the selected event.
* Charts - added keyboard shortcuts for making bold and italic text in chart boxes.
* Charts - faster updating when all objects are selected and nudged using arrow keys.
* GEDCOM Import - added support for cross referenced marriage memos.
* Mailing Address Window - behavior of the Initial Caps and UPPERCASE buttons is no longer tied to Prefix Word settings in the Index Preferences.
* Mailing Address Reports - dividing lines are included when the Include Empty fields button is unchecked.
* Move Fields feature (in Field Preferences window) - added ability to move data to and from the “Misc Event” field.
* Pictures - improved the quality of reduced and cropped images in web output, on the family card, in the Multimedia window, in the Picture window, and in the Print Preview.
* Shortcut - Command+S clicks the Save button in Edit Spouses window and Custom Date window.
* View popup menu in toolbar - Command key equivalents appear in the popup menu.
