I didn't know about the "path too long" problem, but I'm guessing I
haven't run into it because, with a few exceptions, I use a numerical
system for files. Early on, too many sources pertained to too many
surnames and I found myself getting stuck as to how to name them with
surnames. Once I did pick one, turned out I couldn't find what I was
looking for because I couldn't remember which name I picked.

Does anyone not use Legacy Family Tree for media? The media backup
and Media Relinker are unreliable and I’m considering not using the
software for recording media any more. Yesterday I found out that
the backups that I religiously did were not including masses of
documents and media. In the mail archives I found a comment by
Richard Wasshnova that Legacy adds a considerable number of
characters to the path of a given medium. Although I have used a
little utility called TLPD to search out any paths that are too long,
it seems my effort has been for naught.
In addition to asking whether anyone uses Legacy Family Tree only for
data and not media, I’m very curious now to learn how other people
are naming their documents to avoid the path too long problem.
Many thanks, Priscilla Glasow
