Mike, If we only knew the future.
My Family File originally wasn't created correctly - partly due to a program that I used previously which didn't encourage good citation formats, let alone *allow* a good format, along with other data entry and partly because I didn't *know* good techniques at the time - and when I started, I had no concept of posting genealogy to web pages because at the time it just wasn't done (oh, oh, there I go showing my age <rbg>), so I would say proper file naming techniques, proper data entering techniques, etc shouldn't be just reserved for those who think they may do something in the future but should be followed by *all* of us so we won't have to spend *hours* going back redoing what we did wrong in the beginning <rbg> We have no idea what technology will bring us or who we might want to share our data with in the future. Better to follow standard protocols the first time around, eh? Thanks for using Legacy.

Sherry, Thanks for the clarification. The caution is really for users who plan on creating web pages, and not for Legacy users in general. And it isn't really about pictures in particular either, but about the names of any files & folders that you may want to copy (with the same names) to a (Unix) web server. And there's no problem with using "My Documents" or "My Pictures" as part of the Legacy path to your data or pictures, but you should put all your data to be transferred in subfolders & files whose names use underscores instead of spaces. That's what I thought. Mike Carroll Oro Valley, AZ Enter the drawing for a FREE Legacy Cruise to Alaska or a FREE research trip to Salt Lake's Family History Library.
