[LegacyUG] PDF files & Vista

[Tom Element]

Some may recall this problem of not being able to open PDF documents 
from the Picture Gallery after 'attaching' via the File button, it began 
when my old pc (using XP) broke down & I switched to a Laptop & Vista.   
I said I'd get back with the result of testing when I had a new pc up & 
running.  The new pc came with Vista and Adobe Reader installed.  After 
'attaching' a PDF file by clicking on the File button it did not open.  
I get the same message as before. "Can't find Player" "There is 
currently no default media player set up for you computer".


I did install Foxit and changed to that as my default Reader & I have 
now reset it as the default reader on this pc after testing Adobe, and 
it opens the PDF's immediately.


Regards
Tom

Hi Gary

Good thoughts there, Gary.  I have heard comments before from several 
different people that Adobe does try to 'take over' one's computer & is 
rather 'invasive'.  All this drama started when my desktop pc stopped 
working & I chose not to repair it.  I have a new replacement here which 
probably has adobe set up on it, as the previous pc from the same 
company had.  Now and when I get it set-up I will make some side by side 
comparisons and see if anything is apparent.


Thanks for your comments, Gary
Tom

I believe the reason Foxit is working is that as a clean installation, 
everything is set up properly with it as the default PDF reader. Since 
it is working, I would be nervous about leaving Acrobat Reader 
installed, just because some programs try to "steal back" the file 
associations and your problem might come back. I would also ignore my 
previous message and not mess around any more with the "opens with" 
settings. Personally, I wouldn't "try things" and perhaps screw it up 
again, but if you insist, then please keep detailed click-by-click 
notes so you can reverse the mistakes.

have taken Art's suggestion, backed by Bob & Darlene, and installed

Thanks very much to everyone who contributed; my understanding of all 
things except Adobe Reader has increased monumentally, I know much 
more about Legacy & I hope some others have also benefited along the

I will leave Adobe Reader on this PC and try things from time to time 
to get to the reason why it didn't work for me, and if anyone gets a

Foxit is my default pdf reader as it is infinitely faster than Adobe 
and Adobe is constantly listed by

of hackers.


With the speed, safety and never having a problem opening a file, to 
me it is a no-brainer. I have not had Adobe Reader on my system for

I meant the path to a PDF file, not to the Reader executable. When I 
type
C:\Users\Ward\Documents\Genealogy\Legacy Reports\some_file_name.pdf 
into the
IE address field, IE opens the pdf with Reader embedded in a new IE 
window.


My point was that if you can:
(1) Cause Adobe Reader to open the PDF by double-clicking on the PDF's
filename in Windows Explorer; and
(2) Cause IE to embed Adobe Reader within an IE window and display 
the PDF

by entering the filename and path as the browser's URL;

then Legacy should also be able to invoke Reader when you give 
Legacy the

PDF's filename and valid path.

If (2) does not work, then perhaps there is still a security/rights 
setting
somewhere that is blocking all programs from opening Reader for that 
PDF. A

long shot, but another clue.

Re: [LegacyUG] Default location for photos

[Tom Element]

Hello Joyce

What Leon has said makes good sense and may make life easier in the 
future.  Don't forget, after coping files from one pc to another, you 
can make some 'adjustments' if need be by going to Options -> Customise 
-> Locations. You'll see the default locations noted there, 4 pathways 
in V7.  These paths can be changed by clicking 'Change' and following 
the Windows Explorer type window. Then click 'Reset'.  But as Leon 
suggested, probably good to stick with the defaults.
Just to give you an idea: You can click "View Current List of Multimedia 
Locations" to see what pathways Legacy has created in you application.  
Read the opportunities to make changes carefully, especially combining 
duplicate paths, and the items under 'Options'.  Create a Path: 
C:\joyce_surnames\atchley\thomas in the Master Picture/Sound/Video File 
Path List Window, and a path C:\Legacy\Pictures then combine them to be 
left with just C:\Legacy\Pictures.  There are lots of things one can do.

Hi All,

I started what I thought was a good system for filing photos that are 
put into Legacy. I listed them in surname order and then by first 
name. For example:


C:\joyce_surnames\atchley\thomas.

This was good when I only had a few photos, but now I have over 400 
photos with a LONG list of surnames, a file and subfiles under each one.


I want to be able to move my Legacy files and multi-media between my 
desktop and laptop and so that the photos will show up in each. Is 
that possible with so many different locations?


Would appreciate your assistance.

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Gallery & PDF

[Tom Element]

Hello Ward

Yes, I have those files in the same path you noted.   "Tools --> Manage 
Add-ons" shows only 'Adobe pdf link help'; no other Adobe named Add-on.  
(I usually use FireFox)  I think Legacy has a cut-down version of Adobe 
Reader within it & it uses that to open pdf Reports from "Reports -> pdf 
File -> Create".  After naming & saving the required file this opens the 
pdf document in the Legacy viewer.  If then you select "No" you can 
click on "Create PDF", re-save the same file, & choose to open it in the 
pdf viewer, which, in my case now, opens Foxit with the document.


Can't say I understand all this but...

Thanks again, Ward.
Tom

Ward Walker wrote:
If you are still interested in slogging, here is another thought. Your 
Adobe Reader installation may somehow be missing essential files 
called plug-ins. They are normally installed automatically.


For example, in IE7, if you go to Tools --> Internet Options --> 
Manage Add-ons, you should normally see 2 Adobe add-ons: an activeX 
control named 'Adobe PDF Reader' and a Browser Helper Object named 
'Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper'. If they are present, they also should 
be shown as 'enabled'. The exact file names are also shown: 
AcroPDF.dll and AcroIEHelper.dll. On my system, I can find these 2 
files in the folder C:\Program Files\Common 
Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX. They possibly get installed into an IE 
folder somewhere.


Legacy might also require one or more Adobe plug-ins, but I don't know 
how to determine which ones and whether they are installed.

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Gallery & PDF

Hi Jim

I now have what you are saying below, but still my previously attached 
pdf's don't open in Adobe Reader from Legacy's Picture Gallery Icon, as 
they used to on XP & a different computer (which is now faulty so I 
can't go back!)


As I said in another email, I've installed Foxit Reader & that works 
fine so, there we are.  If this mystery keeps you up at night wondering, 
get in touch, as I'll be awake! :>)   ..still trying to solve the 
issue   .in the meantime using Foxit!


Thanks very much, Jim

Tom, 


When you select 'Choose Program' the programs list opens. You should have
uncheck the box for 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of
file.' By doing that you would not have removed Adobe Reader as the default
program and would have Legacy as an alternative program. 


You can reset Adobe to be the default program by going back into the program
list. 

Thank you for choosing Legacy,

Hi Gary

I typed in backslashes to FireFox and it spun them around as I hit 
enter! in  Options -Customise - Launch it's definitely correct as 
it's not really a type in line but the file path is generated as one 
selects the path from the consecutive windows.

Thanks for the explanation.  I typed "C:/Program Files/Adobe/Reader

Adobe pdf files open in my PaperPort application, no problems, but 
not if I've attached a PaperPort pdf file to Legacy via the File 
button in Picture Gallery and try to open it from the Legacy Icon.


With Adobe I'm in uncharted waters for me so I don't even know the 
right questions to ask!


Thanks, Ward

Your installation looks clean. There could be something bad in 
your Reader settings, but I don't see why a PDF would open outside 
Legacy and not open within Legacy. Does the PDF open within other 
applications? Try typing the path into your browser's address bar.


Producing a PDF report from within Legacy is different. They are 
using a non-Adobe library to do that. (Last I checked, it was 
producing an outdated version of the PDF format.)

I don't fully understand what you're saying here.  What do you 
mean by a full version of Adobe?

In Control Panel  I have listed:

Acrobat.com  installed on 23/8/2009  (Is this what you are

Adobe AIR  installed on 23/8/2009
Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX   installed on 19/2/2009
Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin  installed on 1/8/2009
Adobe Media Player installed on 25/8/2009
Adobe Reader 9.1.3 installed on 25/8/2009

On the Adobe web site I cannot find any reference to a full 
version. What am I missing, Valerie?

Hi Gary

I typed in backslashes to FireFox and it spun them around as I hit 
enter!  in  Options -Customise - Launch it's definitely correct as it's 
not really a type in line but the file path is generated as one selects 
the path from the consecutive windows.

However, you also have a major typo, because in Windows you should be 
using back slashes not forward slashes. If you made a similar error 
in  Options -customize - Launch that could explain a lot.

Hi Ward

Thanks for the explanation.  I typed "C:/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 
9.0/ReaderAcroRd32" into FireFox and IE browsers and "File not found".


Adobe pdf files open in my PaperPort application, no problems, but 
not if I've attached a PaperPort pdf file to Legacy via the File 
button in Picture Gallery and try to open it from the Legacy Icon.


With Adobe I'm in uncharted waters for me so I don't even know the 
right questions to ask!


Thanks, Ward
Tom

Your installation looks clean. There could be something bad in your 
Reader settings, but I don't see why a PDF would open outside Legacy 
and not open within Legacy. Does the PDF open within other 
applications? Try typing the path into your browser's address bar.


Producing a PDF report from within Legacy is different. They are 
using a non-Adobe library to do that. (Last I checked, it was 
producing an outdated version of the PDF format.)

Hi Valerie

I don't fully understand what you're saying here.  What do you mean 
by a full version of Adobe?

In Control Panel  I have listed:

Acrobat.com  installed on 23/8/2009  (Is this what you are 
referring to?)

Adobe AIR  installed on 23/8/2009
Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX   installed on 19/2/2009
Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin  installed on 1/8/2009
Adobe Media Player installed on 25/8/2009
Adobe Reader 9.1.3 installed on 25/8/2009

On the Adobe web site I cannot find any reference to a full 
version. What am I missing, Valerie?

(probably by correcting this in the registry or by uninsstalling all

was ok, I probably also run CCleaner to clean the registry).
Also user rights to open files from certain folders could be a
problem. To see if this is the problem attach a pdf file from the
correct user documents folder and try to open this pdf file to see if
that works ok.

I've never attached a PDF document to a Legacy picture gallery so after all
this traffic under "Vista & Legacy", I thought I'd try.

I'm on Vista 64 with Legacy 7.0.0.107.

I attached a PDF as a file in a picture gallery. Now when I double click
that thumbnail in that picture gallery, Acrobat pops open with that file ...

It works without doing anything special ...

I went into Windows and set the reset defaults for Firefox to everything and

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

expert can put me straight.
At least some progress has been made today!

Hi Paul

Thanks for your reply.  I have tried attaching different pdf documents

computer, but still no success.

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

not working I'm now at a complete loss.

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.

"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.

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?

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

[Tom Element]

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.


Regards
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.

RE: [LegacyUG] Linking files to Legacy 6.0

[Tom Element]

Hi George
 
You may find it a possibility to create a web page(s), but save it in the
Legacy folder as, say, Documents.htm, and use hyperlinks to reach the
particular document from Legacy General Notes or Research?  I have a web
page created & saved in Legacy and I created a hyperlink from a little Diary
application I also have to go to the web page.  It worked fine.  I don't
know how to create hyperlinks except by using my diary program which does it
for me.  If you can create hyperlinks please let me know?
 
Maybe using a word processor or Notepad with the links in it as well may
allow access without going into Legacy? 
 
That's my best guess. :>)

My thinking is this;
I'm scanning a ton of paper documents into digital form, pdf's.
Some of the funeral notices and others are 4-page pdfs and contain both text
and graphics. 
I would like these docs to reside in their own folder. That way, I can
access them without necessarily going into Legacy.
At the same time, when I'm in Legacy, I'd like to be able to click on a link
to go to these files. 
When I send the Legacy file (CD-Rom) to my cousins, I would of course send
the picture folder and docs folder.
Additionally, in the General Notes it would be great to click on a link to
open a file in its native format (doc., pdf, etc.)
This can happen in the galleries, but I agree - not terribly useful.

I seem to recall some time back people were discussing using hyperlinks in
the General Notes and Research windows.  If someone with a better memory
than I can remember if this is true or not, maybe a search of the archives
would pay dividends.

You can attach them as sound/video files. If they are not too big

Thanks JL and Ron,

The 'sound file' technique is good, if only a temporary fix.
I await 7.0! LOL

Why won't Legacy allow hyperlinking documents?
Is it a technical bad idea? (that may sound lame, but I'm not a programmer).
I've got quite a few pdf's and the idea of converting them to jpg's makes my
shudder. LOL

One of my goals is to scan all my documents, into ideally one format, and
have them accessible through Legacy.

RE: [LegacyUG] Password for new charting program

[Tom Element]

Hi Valerie

Try wallcharts (plural) 

With dial up I don't know how long it would take but I suggest you read
carefully the web site page before downloading.  Sometimes the best way to
download is suggested.

Regards
Tom

Valerie,

The password you are looking for has been posted to this list several times,
including since you first asked for it.  It is also supposed to be on the
web site.  I haven't paid too much attention, as I am not interested in
testing the pre-release of this, but I think you will find the password is
the word wallchart.  If that doesn't work for you, please check the archives
and the web site.

Hi Carmel
 
It seems you have inadvertently subscribed to the users group when you
downloaded Legacy - it happens from time to time.  Just go to the link on
the next line and follow the directions. Easy.  But if you read the emails
you'll learn a lot about your new program.

Re: [LegacyUG] Using the MRINS

[Tom Element]

Hi Marilyn

After you absorb the useful ideas people have offered you might like to go to 
the Legacy web site and you will find a place that describes in detail this 
type of filing.  I changed to it & (so far) it's good for me.  Lecacy even has 
an on-line demonstration video which is comprehensive.

  Marilyn,

  How big are your binders? 3”? 4” thick?  I am just starting this process, and 
I’d like to avoid re-doing something a year from now. (I’m jumping in here 
without the benefit of previous exchanges as I just signed up for this 
listserve.) Do I understand that you use the Legacy MRINs regardless of the 
person’s relationship to the person numbered before or behind them? (This is my 
big obstacle, how to set this up.)



  Many thanks, neophyte but a quick learner.

And I totally disagree. I have a full time job and already get upwards of 
100 emails a day. If I wanted to wade through multiple messages of people's 
reminiscing I would join a reminiscing list. We need to think of a mailing 
list more like a big room full of people discussing a specific topic. In 
those circumstances, those who want to engage in a conversation that is not 
of interest to the entire group will whisper to each other in private or 
have a small group discussion off to the side. If we were all in one room 
discussing Legacy issues no one would be shouting out their computer stories

to the entire group.

There are still places in the world where people have to pay by the minute 
for their Internet connection, or have slow dial-up connections. It seems 
very inconsiderate to subject those folks to multiple off-topic messages 
that they need to waste their time and money on. At the very least, clearly 
label the message thread as something off-topic so it can be easily filtered

out by those who have neither the time or desire to read the fluff.

What do you mean it doesn't have a demo period any more?  The standard 
edition of Legacy is free - forever if you want to keep using it 
forever.  You only have to pay if you want to upgrade to the deluxe 
edition.

I don't think you could find a better demo period.

Hi 

Thanks for your comments, Richard.  I might go back to the web site & see if
they still have a demo period.  I didn't notice before if that had that.
Yet from what you say, it may not be a valuable asset.  I'm planning to
create Legacy web pages on a CD but with just stories about the ancestors
rather than all the dates etc.  I'll have all the data as well, but in a
separate file so people can simply read the story of  "Grandfather Owen" or
Great Uncle Frederick" or have access to all the census forms & certificates
and so on, as they choose.

Thanks again for writing, Richard, much appreciated.

Tom, I live in Melbourne, but am originally of Scottish birth. I used the
Personal Historian for the demo period. I did not buy it. I thought that it
did not offer much in the way of help that I could not already do in Word.
Also, I visited the forums and there was precious few entries. It appeared
to me that this may have been an abandoned project, or at least not very
well supported. A number of the messages said the same thing. This was about
a year ago, so things may have changed. Kindest Regards, Richard Hallford.

Are there any Australian, British or New Zealanders who have used this
add-on and how was it for us antipodeans?  Useful?  Good value? Helpful?

When you put it in THAT  perspective, waiting for the legacy

Yes, it was fun, Ron.  We started with a TI and used an audio tape recorder
to save onto.  No hard drive on that little machine, or floppy disk use.
Hooked onto a TV as a monitor.  I recall piggy backing memory chips,
soldered one to the other to increase RAM.Geez are we that old?!!

They missed all the fun didn't they? Like writing to, and reading from,
specific sectors of a floppy disk as this was the only way of running a
database with a couple of thousand names and addresses with a 32K machine.

Perhaps that's why us ancients are quite happy without a fully automatic
system :-)

RE: [LegacyUG] Personal Historian

[Tom Element]

Hi 

Thanks for your comments, Richard.  I might go back to the web site & see if
they still have a demo period.  I didn’t notice before if that had that.
Yet from what you say, it may not be a valuable asset.  I’m planning to
create Legacy web pages on a CD but with just stories about the ancestors
rather than all the dates etc.  I’ll have all the data as well, but in a
separate file so people can simply read the story of  “Grandfather Owen” or
Great Uncle Frederick” or have access to all the census forms & certificates
and so on, as they choose.

Thanks again for writing, Richard, much appreciated.

Best wishes

Tom

Tom, I live in Melbourne, but am originally of Scottish birth. I used the
Personal Historian for the demo period. I did not buy it. I thought that it
did not offer much in the way of help that I could not already do in Word.
Also, I visited the forums and there was precious few entries. It appeared
to me that this may have been an abandoned project, or at least not very
well supported. A number of the messages said the same thing. This was about
a year ago, so things may have changed. Kindest Regards, Richard Hallford.

This is the 2nd time this fault has occurred for me.  All functions seem to

I am by no means a Legacy expert, and usually stay solidly in "Lurk
Mode," but I've recently tangled with this subject of customizing the
appearance of surnames.  I noticed that (when I typed in "O'Dell,"
what I got was "O'dell," -- and I wasn't happy with that.  Here's what
worked for me:

While on the Individual's Information screen, look at the "Surname"
blank -- there should be an arrow on the right hand side of it.
Clicking on this arrow brings up the "Master Surname List."  The
surname you've been working on will be highlighted, and you can edit
it by clicking on the Edit button at the right.  Make whatever changes
you like and then click "save."  When you "save," it changes all
occurances of that surname in your database, so if you don't want that
to happen, you'd want to click the "add" button instead of the "edit"
button.

I played around and used this method to change the case (upper or
lower) of any of the letters in a surname, added and subtracted
spaces, and anything else I could think of, and it all worked for me.
If I've misunderstood the problem, and this doesn't help, I apologize!

Heading back to "Lurkdom",
Cricket

Thanks for that explanation, Pat.  I was always a bit wary to enter that
dark place following a disaster with entering 5 sources simultaneously.
Which highlights my only concern about Legacy: No "I want to go back one
place before I did that awful thing!!" button.

Another [reason not to split] ]is this:  If you enter every record as a
separate master source, you're retyping much of the same information over . 
. .

Kirsten, No,not at all -- If I had to do that I'd be a lumper too!

To avoid th retyping,
You simply go to your master source list and
Highlight a source very similar to the new source you want to enter.
Click "Edit."
Make any changes necessary to make the OLD SOURCE into what you want your 
NEW SOURCE to say.
Click "Save"
At that point you get a little window that says (In the blue heading):
"You are about to make changes to a master source."
There are 2 options (in addition to a 'Cancel' button):
 1. Apply the changes to ALL references of this master source[.]
 2. Apply the changes to a NEW copy of this master source[.]
[For no. 1 the 'A' in ALL is underlined; for no. 2 the 'N' in NEW is 
underlined.]
So for your new source, you simply hold down the Alt key and hit 'N.'
It couldn't be simpler.
(Actually, I think no. 2 should be reworded to say: "Apply the changes to 
create a NEW master source." )

The need to do VERY LITTLE RETYPING  is precisely one
of the main reasons why I like being a "splitter."

That and the fact that it is so QUICK and EASY to see (by scrolling through 
the master source list) whether I've already used this PARTICULAR source AND

(via the Option button) the people I've used it with.

Of course, you DO have to be VERY careful to chose 'A' or 'N' correctly!

I believe Tom set a record @ 28KB file size on this list. Not complaining, 
just curious. what made it so big? HTML, small hi density fonts? Only 2 
colors, Only 4 or 5 font styles. I'm not trimming anything but reply in 
plain text to compare file size.

That makes a lot of sense, Pat.  Some people do seem to think they are
called to preach to offending LUGers, but it does no good as some one else
offends the next day!!  :>)   For the last several weeks I've been replying
personally to those who have a problem unsubscribing by simply deleting all

Subject: [LegacyUG] UPSET BY MESSAGES?? -- SUGGESTION for procedure.

I notice that whenever I click on reply, the email address of the emailer is

displayed.  SO-O-O if we don't like the tone of that emailer's email, why 
don't we have a rule that we (as individuals) will address the emailer 
directly rather than sending the message to the entire group??

We could still manually enter [LegacyUG] at the beginning of the subject 
line and write a message rule so that it would go into the Legacy folder in 
our email programs (rather than into SPAM).

I imagine that in our lives all of us have gotten irritated at some point 
and said something rude -- and felt totally justified in expressing our 
anger -- and sooner (or) later when we calmed down regretted the expression 
of the irritation.

And I feel pretty certain that every one of us has intentionally -- or 
inadvertently -- irritated someone else (e.g., using html because it's more 
interesting or prettier and not realizing the technical reasons that we we 
shouldn't use it for mailing lists).

So if someone wants to inform someone else of that kind -- or any other 
kind -- of mistake, why not just email that one individual?

If it's something that a LOT of us are doing, then of course it would be 
appropriate to send a (preferably COURTEOUS) message to the entire group.

And if we're angry about something at the time we write the message, perhaps

we could just save it and read it again the next day and perhaps edit it 
before sending it.

When I'm feeling perfectly calm and happy and then read an angry or abusive 
email I find it difficult to return to a happy frame of mind -- and then I 
might take my annoyance out on somebody else -- I'm sure I've sent off some 
annoyed emails, but I for one hereby resolve from henceforth to try to keep 
it from creeping into my emails.

If we want more conflict in our lives, all we have to do is to turn on the 
news!

RE: [LegacyUG] OT A3 and A4 Display Books ?

[Tom Element]

Not exactly correct; A4 is slightly longer & narrower than 'letter' &
probably equates to 'legal' in Nth America.  A3 is the size of two A4 sheets
side by side.  A5 is half an A4.

Well, Girls/Ladies.  Remember... you have the power.  Click "Delete" and
it's done!

Yes, I agree, this list has a higher proportion than most of cranky/rude etc
contributors but also remember, this list is not just genealogy researchers
but people using a very sophisticated computer application which has many,
many aspects so it attracts, dare I say, Nerds, who are nice people most of
the time but anxious to get exactness & consistency in their lives.  Some of
these people contribute great stuff.  Sometimes they are rude. :>)  I just
take note of the good stuff 'n reject the rest.

Cathy,  I agree wholeheartedly with you, so many people are extremely rude,
and do not take into account that there are NEW people on the list, and they
are NEW to Genealogy & all it's offshoots, I also do not post, for fear of
people saying "This Is Not Legacy Related" etc etc.
 
But I WILL say this, that an email gets extremely long and unwieldy if not
trimmed, especially the Legacy posts as they have such a lot on the end of

I searched for a list of "Living" but there's 100's 'n 100's so a way to

RE: [LegacyUG] Private question

[Tom Element]

Hello Ron

Yes, Ron, I see how it all works now.  The Tree Draw Legacy feature would be
good, of course, but I'll get other things on the go first.  I do have a lot
of 'cleaning up' of my database to do yet so that'll take time too.

Regards
Tom

Tom,

What you should find by just using "Supress details for living" is that the 
name is printed on the web pages but no other details. This seems to be what

you require. However, do note that should you wish to add a family tree 
using Tree Draw Legacy that TDL does not recognise the "Supress" command and

you will have to manually delete the details.

Using "Private" also excludes all the details but additionally changes the 
name to "Private".

I generally use supress except when someone requests that no information at 
all is published, in which case I use "Private".

RE: [LegacyUG] Private question

[Tom Element]

Okay, that's sad!!

I wish to create a Legacy generated web site which shows the "living" as
their own  name but no details about them.  From numerous experiments and
reading Help files I figured the way was to have the 'Living' set to Private
on the Individuals Information Window and on the Legacy Web Page creation
program on the "Who" tab to mark "Include Private Individuals" and on
"Other" tab to mark "Suppress details for living individuals".

That gives me what I want.  I agree using the preferred procedures is
commonly the best way, but it doesn't do what I want in this case as far as
I have worked out.  Am I right  .or wrong again?!! :>)

Thanks for your response, Cathy

Hi Tom,

No there isn't.

I'm not sure why you want to do this.
You can exclude the Living from exports and from reports.
It's usually better to use the normal way Legacy handles privacy for 
the living rather than the special Private setting so it can be used 
for people you really want to keep Private.

I have a Notepad.file saved on my desktop as a text file so it opens quickly

Hi there to everyone on this beautiful day
I was just wondering if there is a program that one can use in conjunction
with Legacy that reminds you of what you were doing the last time you were
useing Legacy.  What happend was I was putting in some details in a Source
and I had to leave the computer to go out, and becuase I didnt finish what I
was doing I wanted something that would pop up when I started Legacy and
reminded me of what I wanted to finish when I was on last, oh plus other
numerous things that I have not been able to finish as well.or fogot to
complete.   Or is this really something that maybe Legacy can add for us? Oh
man that would be excellent. instead of those bloody sticky notes all over
my computer and desk and scanner and telephone and door handles and where
ever else I can stick 'em.  No I dont have dimensia if anyone is
wondering! Seriously though is there a program that can help me play
catch up?
Thanks Kim

If you mean that I can set it differently for each address, could you

change it for all email addresses as I do prefer to normally use HTML.  But,
if it can be changed just for this particular address, I will be glad to do
that.  You can email me off list since this is probably off-topic for
Legacy.

To remedy the forgetting part, most email programs will let you set whatever
form (text or html) that is used when posting to an email address. This is
usually set within the address book entry for each email address you enter.

probably many people like me.
   I cannot read it. ***
Because my mail comes to OE it cannot be enlarged anymore than it

too small to read. I have gotten to the point that I just delete

PLEASE (yes I am shouting so you can hear me) please, use 
plain text in a readable size font for us "old fogies" that are

Another way I've used is to go to "Options", then "Customise", "Locations"
and click on View Current List of Multimedia Locations.   If you know where
your picture files are, no matter how many, then you can add that directory
or edit what is there.  Don't forget to click "Save" before exiting
"Options"

yourself), click on the picture icon of yourself, a screen will come up, 
select search for the picture yourself, go to c drive, legacy, pictures,

Hi Pat and all,
I use the same security utilities as Pat and Spybot S&D removed the 
ICQ-SpyMonitor yesterday.  I did not have ocassion to run Legacy so did not 
notice until this morning that it would not run.
After receipt of Pat's note, I opened Spybot S&D and had it restore the 
ICQ-SpyMonitor and now Legacy runs just fine again.
Looks like Spybot S&D is getting a little over agressive in hunting out 
spyware.

RE: [LegacyUG] Trying to make a digital copy

[Tom Element]

Hello Roger

 

Thanks, Roger, that's a good tip to cut 'n paste.   Seems to me an excellent
way to give a copy of my Family History to others when they ask, even though
it's still not near 'complete'  Ha ha!!   Most people have access to a
browser and can read as much, or about whom, as interests them.  And an
updated copy is easy to make.Yes, even though my database is not all
done and 'smick, I can make an html file and just change a few things for
that particular person if I want to.

 

I've a lot to learn still, Roger.

Tom

I do it in a similar fashion, Tom. Started using Nvu, copy and paste, as it
is slightly 'cleaner'. It is a simple matter to insert images and add
hyperlinks to other pictures and data.

Hi Tom,
If you want an html copy of a Descendant Report, you don't have to go 
through Word (rtf format). You can go straight to html. Just choose 
the HTML file button instead of the Rich Text File button.

However, I think Ron is talking about using the Internet > Create Web

Is it possible to make a digital copy of a descendant report so that

report. The only thing I seem to find is a "printed" report.

Tom,

If your main (only) objective in your case is not to disclose the details 
for living people then these can be supressed in all report options so that 
only the names are published. This can be done globally.

I use both this technique and also "private" on my website. I do not like 
the "living" option so I don't use it.

Hi Tom,
Any special reason for wanting to do this?

In reports you can suppress details for Living people and you can 
change names to Living.
Or you can choose to only print a certain number of generations that 
don't include the living generations.

You can do similar in an export.

If you want to be extra careful, when you are wanting to generate a 
report or website or send a gedcom without living people you could
Search for individuals - living equal to NO
Tag them and export that tagged group to a new temporary database and 
make your reports etc there.

Easier than making all living also private.

Cheers,
Cathy

When I attempt to open the "Chronology" tab I get an message stating "Error displaying time 
line list" - "Error 76: Path not found."

I checked the Legacy Home Page, troubleshooting section but this error is not listed.   Googling it found one mention which had to 
do with web pages and Version 5; I use 6.0.0.127.


Any suggestions?
Thanks
Tom

Re: [LegacyUG] Order of emails

[Tom Element]

Hi there Tracy

This happens to a lot of people these days.   As far as I can find out, which 
is little, and my best guess is that there has been a 
huge increase in spam over the last 3/6 months and masses of these emails slow 
the transmission of some genuine emails.   If a 
particular route over the wires is absolutely clogged with spam the next emails 
in line will divert to another line and maybe go 
around the world a few times before getting to your inbox.   That's a layman's 
way of explaining what is a high tec scenario but it 
makes sense to me.   Why it takes hours, maybe 6-10, I don't know but could be 
the ISPs (servers) need to be upgraded to handle the 
ever increasing volume of email.

Any other thoughts from anyone?
Tom

Hi there Tracy

You put your response to us so beautifully I'm sure you'll find the best/ideal

| Thanks listers for your input.
|
| Just a note to Jenny, I'm not watering down anything, but I'm also not
| willing to deliberately hurt people either.  As a librarian by trade
| and as an avid researcher, I do appreciate your point of view.
|
| I will list all the details for me in Legacy, but have been unsure of
| how to present it for others, family history can be very tricky.  Most
| of us take pride in our heritage, yet there are parts that can cause
| pain.  Some of my relatives will get a chuckle out of the sly grogging
| court appearances of one or two ancestors, others are happy to see
| missionaries,  and some are most offended with convicts in the gene
| pool.
|
| As for me, I like to see it all, but I'm doing the history for my
| family, who don't have the research skills but are very keen to learn
| about their roots, as we come from a small segment of Australia's
| Stolen Generation.  Whilst they know and are constantly reminded that
| documents from government sources often included very racist and
| patronising wording, to me its just not right to slap them in the face
| with some of the nitty gritty details.
|
| After thinking about the different responses I've decided to summarise
| in Legacy for others and provide digital documents as well.  As for
| the reporting methods, I'm going to trial a couple of ways of
| reporting with some relatives and see what is preferred by them.
|
| Thanks again for your responses.
| Cheers
| Tracy

Re: [LegacyUG] photos of documents for sources

[Tom Element]

Hi Sherry

Can you tell me why you scan as TIF   then save as JPG?   What 
advantages are there to scan first as TIF?


Thanks
Tom

Sherry/Support wrote:

 Peggy,

You're correct.  I scan as TIF and then edit and save as jpg (Legacy can't
find the jpeg extension - they're the same but the program only recognizes
the dot-three extensions).

It's better to use the jpg when linking to Legacy because if you have a lot
of pictures with very large file sizes, as you do with TIF, you'll find that
your computer really starts to bog down.

Cathy referred another user to our article on pictures and multimedia files
at http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/tipsMedia-Menu.asp.  You might find it
interesting.

Thanks for using Legacy.

I'm not sure if this is a factor or not. But from what I understand, a
"jpeg" file deteriorates each time it is opened, edited and resaved. I was
told that if you have items you may be editing a lot, you may want to scan
and save them as a "tif" format. It takes up more memory on the hard drive,
but does not deteriorate each time it is edited and resaved. Peggy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Geo Location List

[Tom Element]

Hi Ron

As it happens sometimes, just this morning I clicked on 'Search' -> 
'Search the IGI Website' then 'Search, and a window popped up asking if 
I wanted to download a Geo Location database. This window has a place to 
tick if you choose not to see it again.

Tom

ronald ferguson wrote:

Gene,


Like you I seem to remember in the dim and distant past having to 
download the European Geo Location database. I have since assumed that 
it is now included in all updates and nor can I find any reference to 
it on Legacy's Web Site either. All I know is that I have it.


I can only advise you that in my Legacy\Geo folder I have two files 
EU.rdb and GeoDB.gdb - what the latter contains I do not know but the 
first obviously seems to be Europe - I dont know why they have 
different extensions either.


Sorry I can't help further but you may like to check that folder.

In addition to Ron's answer, you would have to reimport the GEDCOM

A word of caution, when doing something like this. All RINs will be

One quick and dirty way is to export your entire file into a GEDCOM,

Then do a "find". It will find all instances of your phrase, but to do
the replacement, you will need to see which individual record has that
mentioned, and keep Legacy open to replace it.

Alternatively, if you have it in your View-Master Locations list, open
that and edit it.

Michele,

Next time you post to the list it would be a good idea to send the email
in plain text. This is required for this list - it was probably
mentioned in your welcome letter. Personally, I don't mind, but some
filter out messages in HTML and some get really angry about it. It has
something to do with HTML potentially carrying a virus. You may prevent
a flurry of emails asking you to post in plain text by sending an
apology to the list. Just a suggestion.
