[LegacyUG] Finding media links
Is there a way to find all Legacy media linked to a particular directory? When I "View the Current List of Multimedia" (customize-locations) I see a couple of directories that I didn't expect. Those directories have 100s of media in them. I'm trying to find what media from those directories are linked somewhere in Legacy.

RE: [LegacyUG] Changing Pictures Directory Structure
Thanks JL but I don't think I explained it clearly enough. My Pictures file (in customize/locations) is C:\Legacy7\Pictures. I have several directories under that directory, e.g. C:\Legacy7\Pictures\Birth, C:\Legacy7\Pictures\Death, etc. I want to move several of those directories out of legacy7\pictures\, but not all. So I want to end up with C:\Legacy7\Birth and C:\Legacy7\Death. And then all of my picture links changed from C:\Legacy7\Pictures\Birth to C:\Legacy7\Birth, etc. I don't think customize/locations will do that will it? At least I can't see how it changes existing links. -Original Message- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com] On Behalf Of JLB Sent: Friday, December 26, 2008 10:18 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Changing Pictures Directory Structure Yes.

[LegacyUG] Changing Pictures Directory Structure
If I change the directory structure where pictures are located is there an easy way to reflect that in Legacy without changing every link individually? For instance if I have directories a\b\c\Birth and a\b\c\Death containing Birth & Death certificate pictures and want to change them to a\b\Birth and a\b\Death (moving up one level) directories can I easily change that in all of my Legacy links? *** Holiday discounts on Legacy 7.0, add-ons, books, and more.

Yes, EXCEPT I was using the new source writer templates. I think that's the problem (difference).

RE: [LegacyUG] PDF files and Picture Center
I'm not Keith but I'll answer also. Yes, I've created pdf forms for each census and I transcribe each of the jpg images. The advantage to me is that others can see my interpretation of the sometimes (mostly) unreadable scans. A lot of people that view my genealogy are not interested in spending hours on an image interpreting it. When they question my transcription they can always go to the actual image file. I used to do it mainly for my own edification since lots of pictures (jpg and/or pdfs) didn't work very well for me in Legacy reports but now that I have a TNG web site it's ideal for posting both and I therefore need to attach my files to people, families, and events. It's so much more time consuming to do it with the picture gallery I was hoping to be able to use the Picture Center. _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of malkajef Sent: Wednesday, December 27, 2006 6:40 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] PDF files and Picture Center Keith My census records come as jpg images.

RE: [LegacyUG] PDF files and Picture Center
I've done that many times in the Picture Gallery ('Show Picture Gallery for
this Person' icon on the Family Page) by adding "Sounds".
The thing I can't figure out is how to do this from the Picture Center
("Tools - Picture Center ."). I don't see any option to change to pdf. No
matter where I browse it only shows jpg, png, bmp, etc. (Maybe that's why
it's called "Picture" center ;-))).
I've got many pdf files to attach to various people & events. The Picture
Center is very nice for doing this with image files. I'm hoping I can use it
to do the same with non-image files (e.g. sound).
Am I missing something basic?

RE: [LegacyUG] How do you record someone acting as a witness? Changes in County boundaries?
So do you record 'headstones' in Legacy? If so, how? I'm going to (I think) use Legacy events, attach the picture to the source and then manually link them in TNG to the correct individual. I think that will get me there with the least amount of (re)work. But to do this I need to move my TNG Headstones directory to my Photos directory. No problem but since my directory structure is broken down by State - County - City - Cemetery name I exceed the 64 character limit.

RE: [LegacyUG] Issue re: entering Sources for Events
David, I do things more like you (separator) than the consolidators and have found it to be much more functional and easier to change. And I really don't think that 'many' master sources are any less manageable that a 'few' master sources. I started using one master for each enumeration district and copying the detail to the multiple individuals detail. My problem was that I made too many errors and had to change the detail source. For me it's easier to change the master and automatically get everything changed than go find all the places I have details. I've not got my tree converted using one master source for each page of the census that I use. So before you change just give it a lot of thought. I think you're way is right -- for me at least. I do believe I might change is Legacy had a Master-Detail source level that has been discussed and asked for but until then I'm with you. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:LegacyUserGroup- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Street > Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 3:15 PM > To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com > Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Issue re: entering Sources for Events > > Hi Cathy > > Yes - you're right.
