Nice that it works for you, but I have two problems: 1. Automatic filling creates a description text adapted to my local language, which is Dutch. That's nice for me, but it's also exported when I want to upload to Ancestry, and share data with family abroad, who partly don't understand Dutch at all. That's why I think automatic descriptions are a waste. 2. Once the description is filled, it is not updated anymore. So, when I correct the spelling of a name, the description will be incorrect, unless I correct all event descriptions that may have this person's name in them. Such manual correction feels like a silly task to me, that the computer should do for me instead. regards, Enno |
