Ron, what does tagging for files that are NOT images? The only one I know of is a PDF editor for PDF metadata but that's a hard one to search as I recall.
A lot of records are downloaded in image format so that covers most of them for me. I can search for PDF's or text by MRIN or specific content by something like Copernic Desktop Search. Something that has not been mentioned yet in this discussion is that if you're linking your files to Legacy, it's important to DECIDE where you're going to put your files and how you're going to name them and stick to your plan. Changing file-paths can be difficult. One folder to another if the file-names are the same is easy. Moving dozens or hundreds of sub-folders, or re-linking renamed files is not. I find it easier to not link files at all except for one folder of 'portraits' used in reports or charting. Instead of clicking four times to get to a view of a single file in Legacy, I can do a simple search in Windows to get that one file or get a whole folder or folder tree view and wider perspective. ---- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://jlog.jgen.ws/ On 3/15/2013 10:02 PM, Ron Walter wrote: > I think there are two sides to the 'Harris' example; bringing up everything > that has 'Harris' in it could be exactly what is needed. > > While I don't use it, Windows Explorer provides tagging, but not for every > file type. > > It should be pointed out the GeoSetter only provides tagging for image files.
