RE: [LegacyUG] Split Screen

2012-04-10 Thread Michele Lewis 
So what you are saying is, you are not actually putting one side  of the split 
screen on one monitor and the other file on the other monitor.  You are 
dragging the entire Legacy window and balancing it between the two monitors so 
that the left split on is the left monitor and the right split is on the right 
monitor?

I have just tried and confirm that with Legacy open (not maximised) showing a 
split screen the Legacy window can be dragged across two monitors, so that the 
split coincides with the join in monitors.

I have Win7 64 and similar but not matching monitors.

You need to make sure your Legacy session is not maximized on the first 
monitor. If it's not maximized you can stretch it to your hearts content. At 
least I could. Make sure it's resizeable and then just stretch it to the other 
monitor.

2012-04-10 Thread Brian/Support 
That is correct Michele, you cannot divide the split screen into two
parts, they are all the same window as far as Windows is concerned and
Legacy does not let you drag outside the boundaries of the window it has
had Windows draw on your monitor.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Using IntelliShare

Russ and Dave added some very valuable points that I failed to include with
my first response.


1) Sharing files should always be done with backed up Legacy zip files and
not GEDCOM files.  The probability of data loss has been discussed numerous
times.  Some people deposit their actual Legacy database files in Dropbox
which can have unexpected results.  It would be safer to push just the zip
files through Dropbox or email attachments and Restore them to the local
hard drive under the exact same file structure that the other user has in
place.  The Restore Family File inside Legacy does a good job of placing
the database files but does not place the multimedia files.  A good standard
location for the database files is C:\Legacy\Data and should work with all
versions of Windows.

2) The Multimedia files are only linked to the Legacy database and are not
actually stored in the database.  Just the path to each multimedia file is
contained in the database.  If multimedia is to be shared with other
collaborators, then it should be placed on each computer with the same path
structure so that Legacy can locate the linked files.  All the multimedia
could be kept in the same folder for all collaborators but I have developed
a way that each collaborator can have more control over multimedia that
he/she collects.  Let's say we have the following collaborators: James,
Colleen, Ralph.  I would create the following folders at the root level of
the hard drive:  C:\JamesMM, C:\ColleenMM, C:\RalphMM.  The folder names are
not sacred but must be unique at the root level.  By placing them at the
root level, they will be consistent with all versions of Windows.  Now James
will place multimedia that he collects into C:\JamesMM and each of
the others likewise.  They do not have to worry about how the other
collaborators organize their multimedia or name their files as long as they
each keep their collections under their designated root level folder and
each collaborator does not alter the filenames outside of their collection
folder.

3) When Legacy backs up the multimedia, it only puts those files into the
zip backup which are linked to the database being backed up.  If a folder
contains 5000 pictures but only 350 of them are linked to the database, then
only those 350 will be backed up into the zip file.

4) To Restore the multimedia backup zip file, it should always be restored
to the root level of the local hard drive.  The unzipping process will lay
down the same file path structure that was captured at the time of the
backup.  With the example in step 2, you would have C:\JamesMM,
C:\ColleenMM, and C:\RalphMM.  All the database links to the multimedia
should work well after the database family file is restored.  If the
multimedia is restored first and then the database, you will see the
multimedia when the database is opened rather than blue question marks in
the galleries indicating missing files.

5) When the Keeper combines all the collaborators copies of the database and
multimedia, he should determine if any multimedia filenames are duplicates.
One collaborator may have a filename Margaret.jpg in
C:\JamesMM\Family\Jones while another collaborator also has a completely
different photo titled Margaret.jpg in C:\ColleenMM\Cousins\Owens.  These
two files with the same filename can be a problem for Legacy.  The Keeper
should rename the multimedia files as needed so there are no duplicate
filenames linked to the database.


6) Let me clarify about renumbering RINs and MRINs.  The Intellishare value
is not changed when a RIN or MRIN is renumbered but only one Intellishare
value is kept and the other discarded if two records are merged.  A simple
scenario which will cause this is when more than one collaborator adds the
same individual independently of the others.  For example, collaborators
(including the Keeper) are working on their copies of the file and a new
child is born which prompts them to add the new person to their file.  The
new child might possibly get the same RIN in each file but will definitely
not get the same Intellishare value.  You might even decide to renumber RINs
so that all copies of the file do have the same RIN for the new addition.
The separate copies of the database will still have a different Intellishare
value for that new child.  When the copies of the
database are combined back into the Keeper's file, the sequence I outlined
earlier will insure which Intellishare value will be preserved after the
merge since only one can survive regardless of the RIN.

7) You can renumber RINs or MRINs as much as you wish and it will not make
you manually merge each of those changed

Re: [LegacyUG] Using IntelliShare

2012-04-10 Thread Ron Ferguson 
Ron,

There is one very good reason for *not* renumbering RINs, if one creates
Pedigree Webpages. These pages use the RIN for the file name eg. on my
website the URL for myself is http://www.fergys.co.uk/genealogy/1.html
(actually I use the .php extension, but for this illustration it does not
matter).

All search engines, such as Google, use the URL to identify the page
location, i.e. if someone is searching for me they will find that page
(sooner or later!) at the above URL. If the RINs are changed then all
bookmarks which people have made will be rendered invalid, before a search
engine can register the new URL there will be a delay (which may be a long
delay), and thus all the effort which one should have put in promoting the
site and contents will end up being a waste of time.

[LegacyUG] Relationship calculator

I have a couple who married, but were also cousins of some description.
  I've just tried to use the relationship calculator to find out what
sort of cousins they were but it only says that they were husband and wife.

Is there any way to override that and get it to ignore their marriage
(without unmarrying them and remarrying them)?

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationship calculator

2012-04-10 Thread Terri Brown 
Try increasing the Blood Relationships limit. I have mine set to 5 and it shows 
the husband/wife relationship as well as the cousin relationship. You will find 
this setting on the bottom left of the Relationship Calculator under Settings 
used to Calculate Relationships

Subject: [LegacyUG] Relationship calculator

I have a couple who married, but were also cousins of some description.
  I've just tried to use the relationship calculator to find out what
sort of cousins they were but it only says that they were husband and wife.

Is there any way to override that and get it to ignore their marriage
(without unmarrying them and remarrying them)?

Thanks

Tony

RE: [LegacyUG] Using IntelliShare

2012-04-10 Thread CE WOOD 

I can't agree more!!!  It is incredibly frustrating when people renumber; the 
url entered becomes totally useless.  There is absolutely no need, beyond OCD, 
to renumber.  Sites that do not are the sites of choice!

 Ron,

 There is one very good reason for *not* renumbering RINs, if one creates
 Pedigree Webpages. These pages use the RIN for the file name eg. on my
 website the URL for myself is http://www.fergys.co.uk/genealogy/1.html
 (actually I use the .php extension, but for this illustration it does not
 matter).

 All search engines, such as Google, use the URL to identify the page
 location, i.e. if someone is searching for me they will find that page
 (sooner or later!) at the above URL. If the RINs are changed then all
 bookmarks which people have made will be rendered invalid, before a search
 engine can register the new URL there will be a delay (which may be a long
 delay), and thus all the effort which one should have put in promoting the
 site and contents will end up being a waste of time.

Re: [LegacyUG] Using IntelliShare

2012-04-10 Thread Ron Taylor 
This is an excellent point.  The most important thing to remember is that when 
all duplicates have been resolved, a given individual can have only one RIN.  
The renumbering that I recommended was not on the master file but on the 
collaborator files as they are combined back into the master and before the 
IntelliMerge process is executed.  If the collaborator has not added any new 
records to his copy of the file, then the Intellishare values will match up and 
automatically merge all records in his copy with the master and no new RINs 
will remain.  If he has added new records, and therefore new Intellishare 
values, those RINs will remain at the bottom of the Name List and be easy to 
spot and use for any further work.

I would not renumber the master file without some major consideration to web 
sites, etc. as Ron Ferguson has suggested.

Make sure you ask for all relationships when you run the calculator. I don't 
have Legacy with me so can't see if it currently works - used to.

When I first checked the version 7.5.0.182 I thought the problem with Event
Pictures selection not sticking had been solved - I'm sure it did at least
once.  But subsequent trials show it still isn't sticking.

I believe what he meant was that by you not saving the new person and new
event before you add another event you are creating the runtime error because
there is no record because you did not save the first record and event. You
should save the first event before you create another event. By not saving you
are expecting the other to be “stored” in the computer memory while you add

I sent this problem report to the folks at Legacy today, but thought I'd pick 
the brains of other users here, too. Here's what I have going on:


When adding new child, I show family screen, and R-click in the boxes below to 
add a new son or daughter.
I add name, dob. and pob.(I don't
  save yet)
Then click on add Event.
Type Residence and complete the
  fields. (I don't save yet)
I click Add Another event.
I get as far as
  typing 'occupation' (or any other event) and when I tab to next field, the
  runtime error occurs.

Runtime error '3021 '
No current record.
OK. (Legacy closes by itself - I don't have time to click
  anything)

Do you know of a way to suppress the entries in the notes section when

Mike’s comments about not hijacking a thread (i.e. asking a question that is
totally unrelated to the subject of the email you are using to ask your
question) are correct, but certainly didn’t answer your question.
If you want the notes to print for some reports (e.g. chronology report) but
not in others (e.g. narrative reports) you need to put the notes inside
privacy brackets [[ ]].  Then on your report options you need to select
Print  [[private]] notes – by default private notes DON’T print, so you
don’t have to make changes to your narrative options.
Hope this solves your problem.
