[LegacyUG] Specific search of data
Hi All Is there a way that I can create a list from the family file of qiute specific details? I particularly want (at the moment) to find all those who have died under the age of 3 years. Is there a way of putting in a search string to do this? What about other specific strings? Can they be written? Thank you Phil Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Living persons on Descendancy chart
Hi Leona, Yes it is important. In the Report Options Top right of Format Tab you'll find: Suppress details for living people and the option to change the names to Living. This feature is available in all reports on the Format Tab. Also you can exclude lots of living people by choosing to only chart generations where the majority are dead - see on the main Descendant Chart screen buttons with 5, 10 etc. or you can enter any number from 1 to 250 in the box.

RE: [LegacyUG] What size pictures are too big, when I need to think about space
Kim, There is not a staightforward answer to this. However starting from your original. You say that you have scanned some in which suggests that you are not using a digital camera in which case the format to use is not terribly important as you can always scan it in again. JPEG is normally fine but caution as Legacy is not too happy with .jpeg and one should use .jpg ( they are both the same). With digital cameras there is a difference in that one cannot normally recover the original picture once one has played with it. Hence the use of the tiff format to preserve its resolution etc. Personally, I don't use tiff but I always keep the original in a separate file and only manipulate copies. Because of your limited memory you may wish to save the originals to disk thus freeing up your HD. (one should do this anyhow as a backup). The thing to remember is that the more one manipulates a picture the more the loss of quality, with a .jpg after about 4 separate changes the loss is becoming noticeable and with a .gif only a couple of changes has an effect. Another format which is reasonable in both memory use and preservation of quality is PNG. Both BMP and TIFF are high in memory use but excellent quality. Generally I use a maximum of 400px for the longest side for both reports and web pages. In the case of web pages 400px is really the maximum as larger than that they take far too long to download on dial-up and where possible I use the gif as these are the least memory intensive (excellent when only 2 or 3 colours are used) but for photos .png or .jpg. One other thing to remember is that it is always possible to reduce the size of a picture without loss of quality but if it is reduced and then enlarged back to the original size quality is lost I hope this helps.

I have gone thru all archives and have finally decided what sort of filing system I am going to use but because my computer is very, very small only 3.1GB I want to find out what is the best or smallest conversion I can do to try and keep everything to a minimum (well untill I get a new computer in July). I have scanned a few in jpeg, but I did read in one archive that tiff is the best if I wanted to copy and send photos to people. Can someone please shed a bit of light since I really dont know which way to go. Thanks to all Kim _ Could you be the guest MSN Movies presenter?

Re: [LegacyUG] Prefered Mother-in Law Problem
R G Strong Genealogy wrote I think you are confused on what the "prefered spouse" means. That means that if you were to open the name list and then pick your father-in-law's name and pick select, when his family opens the prefered family would show. I've just learned something - thank you! I hadn't noticed that you could set a spouse as preferred (I've used it for the children). I'll go through my file now and change the preference for quite a few spouses. -- Jenny M Benson Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?
