WHAT!!?? I was afraid this was the answer.
As wonderful as this program is for the collection-storage-retrieval of
genealogy data (and it truly is), we have some ways to go to be fully
useful for source record management---the full other half of the
genealogy equation as Geoff will attest to.
I wrestle with these issues being over-the-edge for a program designed
to keep names, dates, and places in one sock. Maybe it's too much to
expect of one program.
But Legacy is nearly there--it is SOOO close--with just a few
modifications it would be the total package. Shaky gap-filling programs
like Clooz would be yesterday's news. Or, worse, using data base
programs like Access or OO Base to mess with data structure wouldn't be
necessary.
PLEASE, along with GLOBAL CHANGE OPTION FOR PICTURE CENTER and
ALPHABETIZED FILE-ID REPORT, please add PICTURE CENTER TO LINK
PICTURES TO SOURCE DETAIL to your writing campaign ("Suggest A New
Feature"). Lots of voices will be heard.
These three features will move Legacy to the next level in your
genealogy record management world.
If you have any questions on how much these features would improve your
genealogy record collection or would like a method of phrasing any of
these for "Suggest A New Feature", please email me off LUG.

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Picture Center Updates to Individual
Records--and Source Detail
Sorry Gary,
Currently there isn't another way (I guess there is if you're an
Access expert but I'm not)
If you don't include the Source Detail picture when you first use the
source, it's a mind blowing tedious job which you've described very
well.
I decided not to face it - especially since Source pictures can't
really be included in a Report in a readable format. I don't know
about web pages as I haven't used them. I just have my digital
sources filed in a structure that makes them easy for me to find if
and when I want to refer to them again.
