Duplicate Sources & Source Templates
08 December 2015 - 06:14 PM
For some reason I am getting a massive amount of duplicate sources and duplicate source templates, especially in my File#5 that is a combination of Files#3 & 4. One of my most used sources has 380 duplicates in the File#5. It would take me hours to Merge just that one source. Auto-Merge is the only available Merge in Source Templates and it didn't do anything, so the duplicates are just sitting there. Could you provide a faster way to merge duplicate sources? Could you stop RM from making duplicate sources? (It seems like the more I use a source, the more duplicates are made, especially when Drag and Drop is used.) The same for duplicate Source Templates?

- in patches it makes duplicates for a generation or two that don't show up on Duplicate Merge Search

sometimes it copies the siblings of the ancestor and sometimes it doesn'tI've had very uneven results when copying over multiple generations. I've found huge branches that weren't tranferred over and I can see no explanation as to why. Sometimes the copy works and sometimes it doesn't.
- drag and drop a couple - a person and their spouse - so the marriage tags are included
- and/or if the "select people from a list" worked
(I try not Drag and Drop a generation or more at a time because then the other problems listed above are more likely to occur. So I've been using Drag and Drop one person at a time, and the Marriage information doesn't drag over.)
