I have a general question about linked media files and other linked documents, which partly arises from Alan Thompson's recent post about the lf.jpg file or multiple files (news to me). I certainly don't want them (lf.jpg) attached to Legacy-generated outputs.
Usually, I have scanned my documents to PDF and my photographs to JPG or PNG file formats (sometimes, as groups of small photos, to PDF). At this point I haven't wanted to have Legacy FT create "albums" or "books" or its other document or web outputs that might include my images or relevant documents, but may soon want to have (A4-sized) PDF documents, some of them multi-page, within some Legacy-generated document output. What are the options for doing that? My practice is to save PDF outputs from the Trove newspaper scans (Australia), rather than JPG images, and also separately to have for each its NLA scan URL and its text content (my accurate transcription) in a plain text file. This generates a lot of files. I'm not sure yet what I will do to incorporate them into the overall Legacy data collection. Ian Thomas Albert Park, Victoria 3206 Australia From: LegacyUserGroup [mailto:legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com] On Behalf Of Alan Thompson Sent: Saturday, 29 April 2017 5:53 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Check all Media Files - lf.jpg file constantly reported as Missing (Legacy 9) When I run the Check All Media Locations routine to make a list of all missing medial files, the resulting report always includes the default lf.jpg file which Legacy automatically associates with any non-picture document (eg pdfs etc) linked to one's tree Does anyone know if there is any way to exclude this file from the report? The reason I ask is because, of the approximately 10,000 files that are listed when I run the report for my legacy family tree, some 9,800 are for this one file - and it is annoying to have to manually remove them from the report before I investigate the files that are genuinely missing.
