TCGR is cheap to buy and a must have as a report writing addition to
Legacy (for charts, Legacy and it’s Legacy Charting v9 extension are
the ones I use). Both Legacy and TCGR are amazing programs but because
of the richness and versatility, both have quite a steep learning
curve. Once more or less mastered (I still don’t use all features) I
find especially Legacy to be very easy and smooth to work with.
SourceWriter is my latest discovery…. the question if you want to use
the SourceWriter templates to enter your new source is a totally
redundant question and should always be answered with a big and bold
YES. (and the program can remember your decision…. ). When adding a
new Master Source, bookmark the type of source you (most) frequently
use at that time and select one of your bookmarked source types; saves
you to scroll through the very rich list of many (over 2,500) source
templates. Then go to step 2. Very handy and quick and the end-result
of using the source templates is a beautiful, versatile and consistent
source list.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is TCGR?

Interesting subject.
I also use TCGR to create reports but so far, I 've just created PDF
and I have thought about including internet links but I’ve not done it
yet.
One reason is that I have a poor experience of how permanent a URL is.
It can be changed or removed and by now, FamilySearch requires a
login, which significantly limits the availability.
I have so far downloaded pictures and linked them to my database with
reference to the source.
But, I now have more than 1000 pictures and especially my backup
become very big, I'm also considering incorporating movies and audio
which does not improve the case.
One solution could be to upload the movies to my private cloud
(Onedrive) and link them to Legacy
Some other ideas?

If you put them in notes it will work.
To use the ones from the Media Gallery needs a programming change
which is why I said to send in the suggestion as I can't check at the
moment to see if it's there.
