Diagram: also shift ancestral spouses

SabineS · Post by **SabineS** » 26 May 2006 10:33

As it seems, the All Relatives Diagram allows the shifting of spouses if they are descendants in that diagram, BUT NOT if they are ancestors, e.g. if an ancestor married twice and had children from both marriages.

I had a case in which I would have liked the ancestor's second wife on his right side, but whatever I tried, the second wife remained on the left and the first on the right, so that the children from the second marriage came first, which turned out to be rather confusing in the printout. See my thread 'Shift spouses - how to?' in the V3 usage section.

So I would like to be able to shift spouses also if they are ancestors.

After Simon's extensive explanation in the original thread, I tend to cancel this wish list request. Still am not very happy about the results, but I see that there are reasons why the software does it this way and not another.
