RE: [LegacyUG] How to handle duplicate entries
Yes, but it still repeats all of the information, events etc for the first duplicated person. I believe this is on the 'to be fixed' list after I reported it quite some time ago - but to date it hasn't been fixed. i.e. I have my daughter attached to me and my first husband (her father) and also to me and my second husband because I want her and any descendants to show in reports as part of our family. All of her details and events are shown under her father and me, and when she is repeated in my second marriage all I really want is her name and 'see page x' - but all of her details and events are shown again. If she had children they wouldn't be repeated, but it is superfluous to have her information repeated twice.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer and Clipboard
LZW is lossless compression for TIFF's that will cut the file size in about half if hard-drive space is an issue. Choose that option when you're saving an image. To reconstitute just open the file and re-save with Compression:None. You can't get better definition out of an image by scanning at high res than is in the image to begin with. Considering your monitor can probably only see 96 dpi and regular home printers run in the range of 200-300 dpi, 1200 dpi is some other planet. What is band-width nowadays with a free Dropbox account? I don't hesitate for a second sending TIFF's over. The reason to link JPG's to Legacy instead of TIFF's is because Legacy will freeze if you try to do otherwise unless your TIFF's are very small. --- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/ On 8/23/2012 8:27 PM, Ian GARDENER wrote: > Tiff files were, and to some degree still are, the preferred format four HIGH > QUALITY images, but this is becoming less favoured with each revision of the > jpeg standard.

RE: Re[2]: [LegacyUG] Source Writer and Clipboard
Tiff files were, and to some degree still are, the preferred format four HIGH QUALITY images, but this is becoming less favoured with each revision of the jpeg standard. The real problem with tiffs is that they are huge in comparison to jpeg files and consequently have issues in that: *They take up a lot of space & hardware real estate. *They have much longer data transfer times. *They tie up internet bandwidth unnecessarily. *Most home pc's simply cannot process a really large high quality tiff, ie try loading a 1200dpi tiff file and your computer will freeze. Note 1200dpi is more for professional work but it demonstrates the point. They do still have their place in my opinion but you have to carefully evaluate what that is. For me, I store all my images within legacy (other than pdf's) as jpg files. However images that I rate as critical and/or irreplaceable, I keep a high quality tiff image on a backup medium away from my home. An example would be old family photographs that are only copies. If my house burns down I can reproduce a true high quality image on photographic paper from the tiff file.

RE: [LegacyUG] Andrews Newspaper Index Cards (Let's try again)
Hi Tony, Unfortunately I can't help you directly but I find myself being forced to use the basic source option fairly often because the sourcewriter options are very restrictive & clearly designed for US users more than others. I sorely wish there was an option to add categories in the first screen of source writer. The generic option just doesn't quite cut it in many situations. Even it had a "personal research notes" or "transcribed notes" option might help. -Original Message- From: Tony Rolfe [mailto:geneal...@gillandtony.com] Sent: Friday, 24 August 2012 9:39 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Andrews Newspaper Index Cards (Let's try again) My previous thread having been hijacked into a thread about subscribing, may I please seek advice on the following...

[LegacyUG] Radius Search of Geo location database
I've just been read the "unofficial guide to legacy and on page 61 it tells how to do a radius search of the geolocation db, to find nearby towns & research prospects. I wasn't aware of this feature & it's great BUT seem to be missing the logical conclusion to the process, being the ability to print (or export) that search result. Is there any way of doing this that I've missed or do I have to hand copy the nearly 80 results in my 5km radius search? The issue of course being that the location is part of capital city that has undergone huge growth & division in 200 years. Thanks in advance.

Re: [LegacyUG] Please trim
I fully understand. I wish we could convert all messages to plain text or block those which aren't - as well as block all attachments. Unfortunately our emailer software doesn't give us that option Other than certain newsletters, I prefer plain text for all emails. I had received a complaint about messages not being trimmed which is why I sent out the reminder. Not trimming is a universal problem, even on groups where people are discussing mobile devices where messages *should* be trimmed because not everyone has unlimited data! Long untrimmed messagse are simply annoying, esp on mobile devices.

RE: [LegacyUG] Please trim
Sherry, perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree but looking at the emails from this year most emails were under 60KB. In my opinion this isn't a problem of what was included from prior messages put of the format. Most user are using HTML as the email format. The big ones were in HTML and had pictures included. The problem using a HTML email is that they get very large, can include eg. a virus and what you don't want is the possibility to include pictures. I prefer to use only "plain text". That way I'm sure that there is no virus or trojan included and small. Using plain text means that the size of the emails are much smaller and are free of viruses.

Re: [LegacyUG] Location Notes
Rita - I don't see that the question was answered yet - so my stab at it! When you choose the report that you want you have options (margins, paper size, etc.). In that first screen of options there is a index button (bottom left hand side) - you open it and get name index and location index (see tabs at top) for location index one of your choices is clicking the box for notes. There you go. Not sure about pictures because I don't link photos. I am sure someone else might jump in.

Mike, My point about unsubscribing is that someone can maliciously unsubscribe another user just by entering the other user's email address. It has happened more than occasionally. That is why I think the user should have to confirm that they do in fact want to unsubscribe.

That is one of the things I have always found strange about this list - when you subscribe, you have to confirm your subscription( which is hit or miss that it will work). On the other hand, anyone can unsubscribe you with you email address and There is absolutely no need to confirm that you want to unsubscribe.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations report
After watching yesterday's webinar with Barbara Renick, I now say I should have used better key words (such as compare, contrast, propinquity, side-by-side and patterns) when requesting a new Legacy report. I think the ability to select people and compare and contrast time and place data would be a huge benefit to researchers. I hope members of the LegacyUG agree and will add their support to this request. Many thanks, Yvonne P.S. My initial report request and example was submitted to the Legacy UG and to Legacy yesterday morning.

Thought it was odd at the time since the guy asked if I'd gotten the latest 7.5 upgrade. He offered to perform a look up for one of my ancestors to show that GeneologyBank would be of a benefit.
