Re: [LegacyUG] Attaching Source Citation Images to Events
And I get one per day that I can scan (the subject lines of the posts listed at the top of the digest), instead of dozens of emails on some days that I have to delete as with the LUG list. I see little difference between scanning a list of subject lines in a digest email, and scanning a list of emails in a folder devoted to one mailing list. Much the same action. With the individual posts, though, you can delete those that don't interest you - or you've read and no longer need - and keep the ones that you want to file away for future reference, or respond to later. With a digest, you have to then wade through all the posts again to find that/those you wanted to refer to again. If you have your list mail diverted to its own folder then you can still easily delete blocks of individual posts that don't interest you without opening them, nor without having to hit the delete key for each one. Highlighting in the mail box works much the same as in other areas - click on the top one, hold down the Shift key and use your Down Arrow key to mark the desired (or otherwise) emails. The Ctrl key is useful, too, for when you want to mark odd emails instead of all in a block. Then delete with one press of the Delete key. This probably won't work in web-based services, but it should in email programs installed on your computer (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc). An advantage of receiving individual posts, over the digest where it is available, is timeliness. The digest is produced periodically, often once a day. Individual posts are sent out as they happen. So if you're looking for something to read, they're there waiting for you. Using a rule or filter in your mailbox to separate out the list posts to their own folder keeps them away from your other mail, so you can ignore the list until you are ready to look at it. I have written instructions for setting a rule or filter on a variety of email programs and services that I've come in contact with, and put them on my web site - see http://wendy.howard.googlepages.com/How-to.htm#RuleFilter The page is a bit dated now, but the basics won't have changed much in newer versions. *Almost* all email programs and services have filters or rules and the ability to divert mail to a folder or mark it in some way to distinguish it from other mail. With proper management and good understanding, individual posts will always be a superior service than a digest. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Howard -- Kaiwaka, Northland, New Zealand http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wendyh65/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Ewendyh65/ Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
RE: [LegacyUG] Attaching Source Citation Images to Events
I did another import from FTM into TMG then an export to a GEDCOM that includes the paths to all images. I had to correct a lot of the paths in TMG to get it to work. Now when I bring in that GEDCOM it relinks most of the images. I only want to use that file to figure out which images go with what person. Is there a way print a report (PDF) that shows everyone in the file and at least the path/file name of the images associated with each person? I couldn't find anything in Legacy Reports that would do this. It only seems to do it by one family. Otherwise I'll just have to keep TMG open which is okay, but I'd prefer to have a PDF report instead. Legacy creates better reports than FTM or TMG.

RE: [LegacyUG] Attaching Source Citation Images to Events
Just a side note here. I opened your PDF and saw nothing more than 2 pages with a bunch of small images and said to myself No way this is 9 megs!. So I loaded your file into Adobe Acrobat (full program, not just the Reader) and examined the document. The properties indicate that the PDF generator was ComponentOne PDF generator which is the one utilized by Legacy. I don't know if this is licensed technology or freeware but I'm continuing to criticize Legacy for using such an old antiquated version. ComponentOne's web site no longer even references any products for PDF development. In fact, the PDF file created by Legacy will be an Acrobat version 3.x while the latest incarnation from Adobe is version 9.x. And then the worst thing: I took your 9 meg file and with one mouse click selected Reduced File Size from within Acrobat. Your original 9 meg file is now 160k. I've noticed similar results myself here and I'm not sure what is going on internally but Acrobat also indicates that Legacy produced PFD files have hidden deleted pages and images.

RE: [LegacyUG] Attaching Source Citation Images to Events
I finally found the place where the File ID is located, but I didn't find my test ID number in there. I looked through the PDF manual, which is greatly lacking in any clues, and it said that the Picture Center would be better for attaching a lot of images. I entered the ID number there and it seems to be working. The entire process will take too long. I wish someone would improve GEDCOM so it brings in your image locations. Relinking is a nightmare. Since I have so many to do I really don't know if it's worth the trouble especially for census records.

There has to be an easier way or should I just forget about doing this. Most, if not all, of the images were transcribed a long time ago but it would be nice to attach the images as well. I know it'll take a long time especially since I have to keep switching back and forth between Legacy and my cheat sheet PDF file generated from FTM. This PDF is over 3,000 pages long so I really don't want to print it. There are several thousand source images as well.

RE: [LegacyUG] Attaching Source Citation Images to Events
I'll have to see if I still have the GEDCOM. I took FTM off my computer so if I don't have the GEDCOM I'll have to reinstall it and export a new one. I'm only interested in the source images. All the other images have been relinked in Legacy. You can link source images, but it's a little confusing as to where to do it because there appears to be several places to do it. The Picture Center seems the best place since you can assign it to an event for that person. It will just take years to complete it and I'm not sure it's worth it. I might just create a spreadsheet or database and put the file names and information in there for future use. This process would be difficult in any program so I'm not blaming Legacy. I blame the makers of FTM because they made the process impossible. Don't switch to FTM because once you get your information and images in there you can't export them out. You're stuck. Their media reports are useless too because they don't include any notes. Bill -Original Message- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com]on Behalf Of Dennis M.

Re: [LegacyUG] Attaching Source Citation Images to Events
Because Legacy does not add the photos to each person, but only the location of the file of the photo, you can add multiple copies of a picture to anywhere you see the icon. I add a family group shot of 40 + people, then add another version of the photo, cropping only each to a head shot. Then each person has 2 photos, the group and the mug. You can include the census photo to the Source, and then add it also, to the family members on it, and/or the event. It is hard to read but makes it easy to view again.

RE: [LegacyUG] Attaching Source Citation Images to Events
The Source is what's confusing me. Would it be added to the Master Source Picture or Source Detail Picture under Sources for each person? Maybe my definition of Source Citation isn't the correct one, but that's what they call it in FTM 2009. I guess it would go under Source and then link each family member to that one image in the case of the census. In FTM, the image is attached as a source once and then can be connected to each individual that uses it as a citation. It took me about a year to clean it up in FTM and get rid of all the duplicates. I don't want to have to do it again if I end up doing this wrong. Also in FTM, you could show all of your external images at once, select it and link it to each person's event. I wish you could do something like this in Legacy. I know Legacy only uses links to external images which is what I've used for years. I just don't want duplicate links. Legacy has much better utilities than any other program I've used so maybe it can clean it up later.

I wouldn't want to have to redo everything. I wish there was a way to just import the link information just for the source images. I am sending you a new GEDCOM from FTM 2009 now. Since The Master Genealogist reads native FTM 2009 files, I am importing a new one now to see if it will generate a better source report. FTM is totally worthless and will not generate what I need.

Re: [LegacyUG] Attaching Source Citation Images to Events
Example: If you have a Source of 1900 IL, Cook, Chicago, and ten different pages with members of your family on each, then attaching all ten to the source, only one photo will be showing, or if attaching to each detail (by using events) then all ten photos will print.

Maybe my definition of Source Citation isn't the correct one, but that's what they call it in FTM 2009. Where you add the Picture rather depends on the nature of your Sources and how you will use them. If you have a Master Source of, say, Birth Certificate you will have lots of different Source Details using that Master Source and you would attach an image of a Certificate to the Source Detail. You might use one person's Certificate as a Source for one person once or several times or for several people and the Source Details will not change, but when you come to cite a different Birth Certificate you will have different Source Details. However, if you chose to split your Master Sources and have one named John Smith's Birth Certificate and another named Joe Brown's Birth Certificate you can attach the image of the Certificate to the Master Source as it will be relevant to all citations of that Master Source. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Re: [LegacyUG] Attaching Source Citation Images to Events
The Picture Center lets you attach pictures to an Individual, Marriage, and to Events (including Birth, Christening, Death, Burrial) BUT I don't think it can be used to attach pictures to Sources. Am I wrong? On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 10:07 PM, William H. Boswell whbosw...@gmail.com wrote: Some of you may recall I recently converted over to Legacy from FTM2009. Within FTM I had a large number of images such as census, obits, PDFs, text documents and others that are attached to source-citations for everyone in my file. This looks like it's going to be more work than it's worth, but am wondering if there is an easier way to do this. I just finished linking all people and grave photos without any problems. Before I dumped FTM I printed out a number of reports to show what image file goes with which person. Is it better to do it in the Picture Center? When I was setting up the people and grave photos, I assigned a File ID to each image which is the file name minus the extension. I started to do this for the 1850 census then to test it attached the image to the birth event for this person. I then closed out of the Picture Center, went to the person's source-citation (detail) to see if the image was attached under Sources, selected Birth then selected the Pictures tab. For Source Detail Picture there was nothing there. I hope this is making sense because I'm finding it very confusing and too many steps for something that should be fairly simple. How can I add these images to sources without creating duplicates? I noticed there is no place to apply the new File ID to a source. What's the point of assigning a File ID if you can't use it elsewhere? I'm trying to limit duplicates and also not have to keep re-entering the same information for each image. There has to be an easier way or should I just forget about doing this. Most, if not all, of the images were transcribed a long time ago but it would be nice to attach the images as well. I know it'll take a long time especially since I have to keep switching back and forth between Legacy and my cheat sheet PDF file generated from FTM. This PDF is over 3,000 pages long so I really don't want to print it. There are several thousand source images as well. I do like this program better than FTM, but this seems to be a larger challenge than I expected.
