FTM Desperately Needs New Features

Features needed:

1. Be able to color code and label people & relationship lines. I want this feature so I can quickly and easily see who I have researched and what their status is. For example I have many people in my tree that are just imports from others trees and have no sources. I want to identify these people easily so that I can know to go research them later. Secondly, I want this feature to mark how certain i am of a person being accurately recorded and, likewise, I want to mark the relationship lines themselves so I can readily see how certain I am that a relationship is well documented. Right now I can only use notes which are not useful for this purpose.

2. I want to be able to keep FICTITIOUS people in my tree and distinguish them from real people. Sounds weird I know...but let me explain. If after doing all the research I find that someone is not the right person or isn't even real, I just want to label them as having been researched and reached a conclusion. I don't want to delete them as that means another person in the family years from now might come and add these fictitious people back thinking that I was unaware of them. I want everyone to know that I have already researched them so that people don't continue to research the same problems over and over.
