Brian, The current version of TreeDraw Legacy works just fine with Legacy v6. If you select to include pictures when you import, they should automatically be placed in the tree.
I'll let the users relate their experiences for the rest of the questions. Thanks for using Legacy.

I just attended a reunion of my paternal branch where they had used Treedraw for Legacy to build a huge wall chart complete with pictures. I am considering doing the same but after visiting the site I have a few questions. 1. I get the impression that the import of pictures is a manual process, I had hoped that Treedraw would handle that for those pictures I have linked to individuals in my file. Is my impression correct or can Treedraw automate the picture import? 2. With the impending release of Legacy 6 should I wait until I have purchased Legacy 6 and Treedraw has been updated to work with it? I would hate to buy it now then have to pay again to get the update. I'm assuming of course that Treedraw will be updated for Version 6 of Legacy. 3. I also looked at the Legacy Charting Companion but it does not seem able to produce a horizontal layout of the descendant chart so I have rejected that option. My reunion will be the descendants of the six children of my maternal grandparents so a horizontal format is essential to keep the chart shallow enough to fit. I know it can be done in Treedraw because that was the layout at the reunion I recently attended. Does anyone have experience with Charting Companion? Will it produce a horizontal chart even though none is shown on the web site examples? 4. We have a little bit of information on the parents of both my grandparents so I would like to include that to make an hourglass style tree with both my grandparents as the centre. I think I should be able to customize the tree by adding them afterwards using Treedraw if it will not automatically generate an hourglass tree based on a couple. Has anyone done that? How difficult is the process? Any other comments from users of Treedraw on their good and bad experiences are welcome too.
