Sherry,
Pursuing this a little further...
I now have the new Legacy 8 installed on my primary desktop and also on a
laptop - both using Windows 7 (32 bit on the desktop OS; 64 bit on the
laptop). On my desktop version I have the following folder structure on
my D drive where the following are stored:
GENEALOGY STUFF
Individuals & Tombstone Photos
Legacy Audio-Video
Legacy Docs-Obits,Birth,Death,Marriage,Will Info
This scheme worked fine on the desktop for Legacy 7.5. Legacy 8 links to
these respective location(s) and contents for individuals.
My problem is syncing isn't working as it did with Legacy 7.5. I use
SugarSync2 (Nov 5 2013 version) to sync between my desktop and laptop. I
can't seem to get the laptop Legacy 8 directed to the SugarSync2 location
that contains the information referenced in the above noted structure.
Unlike Legacy 7.5 where you could specify the path for Picture files;
Sound files; Video files; Document files; Legacy 8 doesn't accommodate
this having only the option 6.1 Default location of family files (which
specifies the path where the photos, video, documents reside on the
laptop) and 6.2 Default location of media files. Using Legacy 8's
recommended Media Relinker on the laptop when trying to link to a
specific file in one of these folders produces a list saying ALL my media
files are missing!
In addition, on my desktop I get a notice under the SugarSync2 "View File
Transfer Status" that there are 4 files awaiting downloading from the
laptop with a file extension of 2 each for .ldb and another 2 for
~Rc3.ldb. These NEVER get sync'd back to the desktop. Looking at the list
of file extensions you mentioned in the HELP file I don't see a
definition of what .ldb files are!
In Legacy 7.5 there was no issue. I changed something in a Legacy entry
on the desktop and it was sync'd with the laptop next time I logged on.
Same going the other direction. A change in a Legacy entry on the laptop
was sync'd with the desktop when I logged on next time. SugarSync2 took
care of changes going both directions. This isn't the case with Legacy 8.
I don't think this is a problem with the SugarSync2 application. It seems
to be more of a problem of communication to Legacy 8 to recognize where
the files are.
Any thoughts?
