Re: [LegacyUG] Vista & Legacy 7.0.0.103 problem after changing PC's

[Tom Element]

Hi Paul

Thanks for your reply.  I have tried attaching different pdf documents 
and also added a new path & attached a pdf from a different folder on my 
computer, but still no success.
 Your thoughts about file changes made me think for sometime today and 
I decided to download Firefox again as I had recently upgraded this 
software.  I went into Windows and set the reset defaults for Firefox to 
everything and now I can open all text files whether TXT, DOC, ODT or 
whatever.  That leaves just the pdf documents problem.  (Appears to have 
been 2 problems, not 1.)
 I uninstalled & re-installed Adobe Reader, but to no avail.  On the 
Launch window from Options -> Customise I added the path for the Adobe 
Reader .exe file and that launches fine from that point but still does 
not open pdf documents from the Picture Gallery Icon.  Also re-installed 
Legacy! Again!
  Generally, when I finally get to the solution of a mystery like this 
I wonder why I didn't think of the answer sooner! :>)   I don't 
understand if I should be doing anything with Adobe Reader settings 
(like sharing, or whatever) as I'm unfamiliar with those factors.  Maybe 
an Adobe expert can put me straight.

At least some progress has been made today!

Thanks,
Tom

Tom,

I read your reply and others, and it seems like programs and file
associations are OK as long as you can open in Windows Explorer.

It's a bit of a stab in the dark, but you mentioned in a very early post
some "strangeness" with the multimedia paths. Perhaps for some reason the
paths to certain docs are no longer valid.

Has anything changed in your file (directory) structure since you originally
attached the documents that might make the path stored when you originally
attached the documents now invalid? If you take a previously unattached PDF
and attach it right now using the file icon, can you open it?

Hi Paul

Thanks for your reply.  I have been through the process of setting defaults
according to Vistas instructions, and every file/document opens 
from Windows explorer.   Going through Options -> Customise -> Launch I 
set an Alternate Reader to Adobe Reader and it didn't work with that either.



It seems to me, as one without technical knowledge, the pdf & rtf icons in
the Picture Gallery are the same as "Shortcuts" which are not working.  Why
not working I'm now at a complete loss.

Tom,

I am a bit late coming into this thread, so maybe you have tried this.

You have already confirmed that the new PC has Open Office and Adobe 
installed, right? Could it be that the default programs has not been 
set for the file types you are trying to open in Control Panel --> 
Default Programs
--> Set Associations. A quick way to test this is to navigate to one 
--> of the

files in Windows Explorer and double click on it.

Hi Kirstin

I have absolutely no problems with attaching or opening Pictures.  But 
I still cannot open PDF, RTF or ODT Document files by clicking on 
their respective icons after having added them by the "File" button in 
the Picture Gallery.


I can open TXT files and DOC files.

Also, I've discovered I cannot create PDF file of Reports but I can 
create TXT reports.


I sure hope someone gets an idea about this mystery.

Tom, I agree that the thumbnail shows up in the Picture Gallery but

With regard to the second part, I clicked Delete & Open list for a 
path where I know I have documents that I attached to people. I found 
both myself (which also has pictures attached) & my husband (who has 
no pictures attached). So I am not able to duplicate your second 
problem. But I only just attached those 2 documents (and they were 
the same document) to test your problem, so maybe someone who has 
more documents attached could test your problem.

 Alastair,
 Thank you for your response. I am not ready to publish as yet. I am
 still trying to determine what should go in the book and what type of
 charts to use. It is difficult to create a readable chart with more
 than 4 generations on a single standard size page. An ancestor chart
 or pedigree chart can easily span several generations with
 continuations to other pages, but that does not work very well with
 descendant charts. I am looking for a way to create a descendant
 chart in multiple pages suitable for a book. Another possible way to
 reduce the size of a descendant chart would be to show direct
 descendants only.

As by now you already know, Legacy does store only the path names &

By the way, as you're using Vista & Legacy 7.0.0.103, have you ever 
attached any PDF documents via the "Picture Gallery" by clicking on 
the "File" button?  If so, can you open them by clicking on the

Re: [LegacyUG] Hiding Birth Year on Reports

[Ruth Nerud]

I have used the double brackets to hide the birth year of a cousin who 
doesn't want anyone to know how old she is :) and it works just fine.

Just to clarify...is it just a few specific people that you would like to

Re: [LegacyUG] Hiding Birth Year on Reports

[Leon Chapman]

Anything enclosed in:   [[  ]]   brackets will not print unless you specify
that private information is to be printed.  The square brackets work in any
field and in notes for  sentence(s) or  word(s).  You have control to either
print private information or not in your reports.  If you chose to print
private information, then you will get the information printed.

Your issue is still a problem -- the private information is a global switch,
so it would not work for a single individual's birth/death information
assuming your printing multiple people in reports.

Re: [LegacyUG] adding Military even bug?

[SgtBob]

Ron -  I realize this doesn't relate to genealogybut - That sounds like a 
great benefit.  We have so much confusion here in the USA on the bill being 
proposed, that it is impossible to separate the propaganda from the truth.  I 
was hoping some of our news folks would write a series of articles outling the 
programs in other countries - but they don't seem to have the desire. BTW - I'm 
76, so its good to hear that you are able to acquire treatment at our age. :-)

RE: [LegacyUG] Vista & Legacy 7.0.0.103 problem after changing PC's

[Paul Gray]

Tom,

I read your reply and others, and it seems like programs and file
associations are OK as long as you can open in Windows Explorer.

It's a bit of a stab in the dark, but you mentioned in a very early post
some "strangeness" with the multimedia paths. Perhaps for some reason the
paths to certain docs are no longer valid.

Has anything changed in your file (directory) structure since you originally
attached the documents that might make the path stored when you originally
attached the documents now invalid? If you take a previously unattached PDF
and attach it right now using the file icon, can you open it?

Hi Paul

Thanks for your reply.  I have been through the process of setting defaults
according to Vistas instructions, and every file/document opens 
from Windows explorer.   Going through Options -> Customise -> Launch I 
set an Alternate Reader to Adobe Reader and it didn't work with that either.


It seems to me, as one without technical knowledge, the pdf & rtf icons in
the Picture Gallery are the same as "Shortcuts" which are not working.  Why
not working I'm now at a complete loss.

Tom

OK, I created a .pdf file...a very small pedigree chart, and attached it

Hi Amy

As by now you already know, Legacy does store only the path names &

Customise -> Locations -> View current list of Multimedia Locations.


By the way, as you're using Vista & Legacy 7.0.0.103, have you ever 
attached any PDF documents via the "Picture Gallery" by clicking on 
the "File" button?  If so, can you open them by clicking on the 
Icon?  I'd be interested to know if your set-up works for you as the 
same combination doesn't work for me.

[Tom Thorpe]

Morning All,

Might you know if Legacy can selectively suppress the birth year only, from 
reports?  Thanks.

Well, Amy, if you get around to attaching a pdf document I'd love to 
hear the result of opening it again.

Tom

I have not tried to attach a document.  Really, never thought to!  
Truthfully, this program does so much I'll never use half of it.  BUT, 
maybe I'll try.  I guess you would attach say a copy of the obit or 
wills or something to that affect?

Hi Amy

As by now you already know, Legacy does store only the path names & 
not the actual picture.  Path names are shown at Options -> Customise 
-> Locations -> View current list of Multimedia Locations.


By the way, as you're using Vista & Legacy 7.0.0.103, have you ever 
attached any PDF documents via the "Picture Gallery" by clicking on 
the "File" button?  If so, can you open them by clicking on the 
Icon?  I'd be interested to know if your set-up works for you as the 
same combination doesn't work for me.

Tom

Using Vista and Legacy 7.0.0.107 I am fairly new to Legacy and 
do not use all the features I see  on this list  Wow, it is mind 
boggling!  Well anyway, please clarify something for me
When attaching pictures, I attached some that were saved on 
CD's...now they do not show up.  Is it only pics that are 
stored on your computer?  Does Legacy store only path names and not 
the actual picture?

Hi Jan

I wish I could say that!!  :>)  
I'm sure it's that way for most..  but not all, I know for a fact.

I have just updated to Legacy 7.0.0.107 on a Vista laptop (not sure if it is

Tom,

I am have Legacy 7.0.0.103 on a Vista 32-bit laptop and desktop. I am able 
to attach (or rather link to) .jpg, .pdf, .rtf, and .doc items by following 
the directions in the Help file, i.e. Family View, picture icon (show 
picture gallery for this person), picture button for .jpg, or file button 
for the others.) No problems opening any of the files (including .pdf) when 
I come back later. Works perfectly.

Re: [LegacyUG] Vista & Legacy 7.0.0.103 problem after changing PC's

[Tom Element]

Hello Ricardo

I tried that during the day here and no good result.  I'm out of ideas! :>)

Thanks for the suggestion
Tom

Tom,

If you haven't did it yet, try to uninstall and then install again 
both PDF Reader and Open Office. Then blank the fields for alternate 
PDF reader and Word processing on Options/Customize/Launch.


Then try open the files again within legacy.

Hi Paul

Thanks for your reply.  I have been through the process of setting
defaults according to Vistas instructions, and every file/document
opens from Windows explorer.   Going through Options -> Customise
-> Launch I set an Alternate Reader to Adobe Reader and it didn't
work with that either.
It seems to me, as one without technical knowledge, the pdf & rtf
icons in the Picture Gallery are the same as "Shortcuts" which are
not working.  Why not working I'm now at a complete loss.

Tom

Tom,

I am a bit late coming into this thread, so maybe you have
tried this.

You have already confirmed that the new PC has Open Office and
Adobe
installed, right? Could it be that the default programs has
not been set for
the file types you are trying to open in Control Panel -->
Default Programs
--> Set Associations. A quick way to test this is to navigate
to one of the
files in Windows Explorer and double click on it.

Hi Kirstin

I have absolutely no problems with attaching or opening
Pictures.  But I
still cannot open PDF, RTF or ODT Document files by clicking
on their
respective icons after having added them by the "File" button
in the Picture
Gallery.

I can open TXT files and DOC files.

Also, I've discovered I cannot create PDF file of Reports but
I can create
TXT reports.

I sure hope someone gets an idea about this mystery.

Regards
Tom

Tom, I agree that the thumbnail shows up in the Picture
Gallery but can't be opened.  I can open it fine by going
back to the Picture Gallery where I entered it in the
first place.

With regard to the second part, I clicked Delete & Open
list for a path where I know I have documents that I
attached to people. I found both myself (which also has
pictures attached) & my husband (who has no pictures
attached). So I am not able to duplicate your second
problem. But I only just attached those 2 documents (and
they were the same document) to test your problem, so
maybe someone who has more documents attached could test
your problem.

Hi Kirstin

Not exactly.  The Picture Gallery shows Thumbnails of
photos & symbols of Documents, as you'd know.
 Pictures (JPG files) attach via the "Picture" button
& open ok.  After adding PDF files or ODT Open Office
files or RTF WordPad files to the Picture Gallery by
using the "File" button they will not open when I
double click on the Thumbnail. After adding TXT files
or Open Office files with a DOC extension by clicking
on the "File" button they open perfectly.

A further bit of information I've found is that going
Options -> Customise -> Locations -> View Current list
of Multimedia Locations
-> then selecting any path -> Options -> Delete ->
View List, I find
the names of people with _only_ PDF, RTF, or Open
Office DOC files are not there on the Path list.

(In addition the Path list names is not accurate at
all, some people being on the wrong path or being on a
path when they have no attached pictures or documents.)

I hope that makes sense, Kirstin.

Tom

My understanding is that you cannot open anything

RE: [LegacyUG] Index Columns

[Mark Lang]

Hello Mary Jo,

Yes you can but it has to be set so that you can revert first.

In the Index View, click on the [Options] button and select Customise
Columns
In the Customise Index View Columns dialog, click [Save]
In the Save Layout column dialog, click an empty space, and in the name text
box, type Default, then click [Save]
Then in Customise Index View Columns dialog, change the field names you
don't want by clicking the [...] at the end of each field name
In the Field Names to display dialog, highlight a field name you want then
click [Select]. If you want to blank out field names, select the first entry
"blank - display nothing"
When you have the field names to the way you want
On the Customise Index View Columns dialog, click [Save]
In the Save Layout column dialog, click an empty space, and in the name text
box, type Parents, then click [Save]
In the Customise Index View Columns dialog, click [Close]

The columns will now change to what you want.
To revert back to what you had before
In the Index View, click on the [Options] button and select Customise
Columns
In the Customise Index View Columns dialog, click [Load]
In Load Column Layout dialog, select Default than click [Load]
In the Customise Index View Columns dialog, click [Close]

The columns will now revert back to your default settings.

Kind Regards,
Mark
