Re: [LegacyUG] Searching for missing images
You can direct Legacy where to look for multimedia (pictures) under OptionsCustomizeLocationsView Current List of Multimedia Locations. A list titled Picture/Sound/Video/File path is displayed which shows each path that is linked to a picture. If you have saved pictures elsewhere, then add that path to the list or change a path already in the list. If the same picture file name exists under more than one path, then delete or change the paths that you want Legacy to follow to the picture. For example, if you moved all your picture collection from the C: drive to the H: drive then change the path names from C: to H: and the pictures will be found there assuming that the respective paths were not changed below the specification of the root drive letter. When you allow Legacy to search for lost (un-linked) pictures, it does search the attached drives in alphabetical order. The implied suggestion that there might be a default starting point for the search would be a good addition...or an exclude list of locations to be searched. If Legacy is successful at finding the pictures, it adds the path to the table mentioned above and internally links the found picture to the path that has been added.

[LegacyUG] How do I keep my locations menu open?
Good morning listers, Today I am wishing I had 3 monitors instead of two. BUT, right now that wont even work. I am working with the Henry County, Alabama cemeteries on #2 monitor. Legacy is open on #1. I have the Legacy screen open in the family tab then click on view, master lists, locations and have found the particular cemeteries. I want this screen (locations) to stay open but then I cannot edit any of the data on the family view. I have even tried the split screen and opened the view... from each side but still could not edit the opposite side. Is there any way to do this? It is a real hassle to keep calling up the view . and then locate the cemetery I want.

Re: [LegacyUG] Searching for missing images
Thank you all for you suggestions on alternate manual ways around the search feather limitation. Ron Taylor's reply summed up the threads very well. I hope that an enhancement to the search feature can be added in Version 7.

Re: [LegacyUG] How do I keep my locations menu open?
If the information you want fits your screen size (you don't have to scroll to see all the information of interest), then you might do a Print Screen. If you've never done this, the process is: Press Print Screen (mine is on the upper right side of the keyboard) Open Word Pad (under accessories) Click paste You can then print the image. When printing the image, I have always had to go into Page Setup and switch to landscape. Even if you have to scroll, you could do 2 images.

[LegacyUG] Spell Check Problem
I seem to have created a problem with the spell checker in the event notes window. Among other errors, I often type 'teh' instead of 'the'. I somehow managed to add the incorrect spelling to my user dictionary. So any time I did a spell check, 'teh' was accepted as a correct spelling. When I tried to correct the problem by setting up an automatic change, nothing happened. So I tried to delete the incorrect spelling from the user dictionary. When I type 'teh' now, the correction window opens, but all the fields are blank. I tried deleting the user dictionary from my hard drive and reinstalling, but there has been no change. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem (other than learn to type correctly so you don't need a spell check) will be greatly appreciated.

I would like to include photos, including headstones, in my Legacy file and have them export them to TNG. I'm updating from Legacy 5.0 to 6.0. I'm at TNG 6.1.3 and can move to 6.2 soon. I do not make edits within TNG. I'm unclear in a couple of areas and hope someone on the list can provide an answer (or redirect me). 1. Is there something I need to do in Legacy so that headstones can be separated from other photos once they get to TNG? 2. Will I need to edit the path in the gedcom between export and import to TNG so that the paths are changed from C:/local/computer/path to tng/photos ? 3. Can this also be applied to scanned documents (which like headstones are a subset of photos)?

Re: [LegacyUG] Dick Eastman Interview
Richard - That works possibly for many - but not here in many rural areas. My library is open only for a few hours a week - and a line to use the two computers they have. Disks are not allowed because god knows - One of you may give us a virus. Neither is using email. (I know - our librarian needs to move into the real world). It's more than 30 miles one way for me to the nearest computer store and I have one ISP option that is not long distance. I pay more for my bad dialup than most people pay for dsl. And the thing is I know I'm not the only one here in this country. My guess is some of our overseas users may also have problems. I do appreciate, however, when those of you who can view or listen to these mention them and then let us all know of any wonderful news that they contain. That is much appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] Dick Eastman Interview
Jackie, I can not help with that but it is also being discussed on another list I belong to. Now I do not know if one suggestion would work for you or not; however, if there is one you really want to see and spend the time, you might try the sight and just go away and wait for it to download. That was a suggestion from someone and while I was never that patient when I was on dial up, it might be an answer if you can find something else to do for a little while. I do understand your problem and I went through it many times. It is very frustrating.

Re: [LegacyUG] Dick Eastman Interview
Marilyn - I actually do that with some things although it ties up my telephone for hours at a time (thank god for cell phones). However Roots TV refuses to even load. I can't remember exactly what the message I get is but it is something to the effect that it is unavailable to me. I'm not really complaining because I know it is a problem at my end with the technology that is available to me, but I do believe that as technology advances and we depend more and more for things to just be on the web those who develop software and the sites that support them - and other sites that depend on visitors for income, should remember that not everyone is going to be able to get the latest and greatest at the same time. My guess? I MIGHT be able to get affordable dsl after the rest of you are all on wifi and fiber.

Re: [LegacyUG] Photos/Scrapbook
Hi Gary, It sounds as if you have added your Tombstone photos as Individual photos rather than as Burial photos. When you do that, they will show as the Individual Picture if there isn't another preferred picture for that person. If you attach them as Burial photos, they won't show as the Individual Picture whether or not there is a picture attached as an Individual Picture. If you attach them as Burial photos they will show on a Family Group Sheet and Individual Report if you've chosen to include Event Pictures. However they don't currently show on other reports. If you want them to, you currently need to make a special event and attach them to that. In the reports, only one picture per category is included - provided that category of picture can be included and you've chosen to have them in your report. (By category I mean either Individual or a particular event in the Event/Fact list. eg you may attach holiday snaps to a Holiday event but only one will be included in reports and then only if you have chosen to include Event Pictures) In addition, you can include all preferred pictures or only tagged preferred or only untagged preferred pictures. Preferred pictures are shown by the asterisk. The tagging by the ticks in the little boxes above the photos in the Photo Gallery. To get all pictures attached as Individual pictures or in other ways, you have to use the Scrapbook - as you've discovered. Cathy At 05:37 AM 24/02/2008, you wrote: I've been playing around with PHOTOS and SCRAPBOOKs. In addition to individual photos attached to family pages I've added some of my TOMBSTONE photos. In doing so I've found if all I have is a tombstone photo it displays on the family page. I'd rather not have the tombstone photo displayed if no individual's photo is available. Is there a way to over ride this? Is there a way to have the individuals photo as well as the tombstone photo printed on a family group report? Only thing I've found where everything shows up is the SCRAPBOOK option! And, while I'm at it I might as well ask this as well.is there a way to specify in any type report that individuals photos are to be printed vs tombstone photos? I have my individuals' photos in one folder and tombstone photos are in another folder. Hope I've made my situation clear enough that someone can give me an answer. I'm probably asking too much though!

A week or so ago a neighbor suggested I try a 30 day trial with Verizon Wireless data service using their EV-DO Rev A USB data modem on my laptop. I did and am delighted as well as surprised. I timed the internet speed the other day as 17 times faster than my dialup at its speediest!! I'm fortunate to be near an Interstate which apparently is auspicious for reasons unclear to me. According to one salesperson of multiple wireless carriars, Sprint and Verizon have the fastest data access. They have EV-Do which is faster than Edge but even Edge is faster than dial-up. The downside is that the USB modem furnished won't work in UK where I live most of the year but Verizon does have a global alternative in card form with might. Hope an alternative is within range for you as well!

RE: [LegacyUG] Dick Eastman Interview
Evening Jackie, Just back from our weekly ranch visit with friends in Amador County, California. Until recently they too had dial-up, however they have just had their satellite Internet connection installed. Their connection is as fast as the cable Internet connection we have in Silicon Valley (Santa Clara County). Satellite Internet is another option you may want to check.

Re: [LegacyUG] Dick Eastman Interview
Look into an air card, it plugs into your computer (you can get USB or card style for laptops) and it's a wireless type set up. Flat monthly fee. Is what I use b/c I am in a red zone (no DSL).

Ones that you still need to do will have an open status.

You want to keep the negative ones so that you know you did look for them once in those conditions. Just make a note of it in the Results tab after you close it. Another good thing, too, is that it dates when you closed it. You might hear that they've added more data to a database, and so you can see when was the last time you checked a database, and do more looking if appropriate.

RE: [LegacyUG] Burial photos
Thanks to all. I happen to read the answer in another post about 2 minutes after sending my question. I have over 150 headstone pictures I was just beginning to link when I realized they were not printing. It seems a real waste of time having to create a new event to print out something that already has an entry. Just like all the sources I have been holding off including for the last 3 months, I guess I'll just wait (and wait) to see if 7 offers a better way. G.C.
