Re: [LegacyUG] GenealogyBank
I, too rec'd this same type of call, saying my computer was indicating a high error rate, I had trouble understanding him, so actually hung up the phone, but I'm glad some of you wrote in to LUG because I had some concerns about the call and if my computer was transmitting something, my ISP notified me about a year ago saying I had extremely high usage, and it was to amazon.com, I had made a recent purchase from them.

My phone indicated that the calling number was unavailable. He spoke with a distinctly foreign accent which led me to believe that he was calling from an off shore calling centre. When I asked for his name he gave me a very common-sounding name -- not quite John Smith but in that same vein. When I pointed out that his number was unavailable he explained that Microsoft employees call from many numbers. I was deeply suspicious especially when he told me that my computer was reporting many errors...I rarely have them...I kept him on the line because I really wanted to know what he was trying to sell me or whatever...but hung up when I was getting nowhere (his accent was of no help). I reported the incident to Microsoft and they suspect that his intent was to be able to access my computer...which, of course, I would never allow. Just another warning to everyone!

Support,
Can you please step in and put an end to this discussion. The original
question about Geneaology Bank had at least some relevancy to Legacy. Now
the discussion has turned to calls about fixing a computer which obviously
has nothing at all to do with Legacy. Unless someone from support steps
in, this lunacy is going to continue.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations report

I think the ability to select people and compare and contrast time and place data would be a huge benefit to researchers. I hope members of the LegacyUG agree and will add their support to this request. Many thanks, Yvonne P.S.

Re[2]: [LegacyUG] Source Writer and Clipboard
Thanks Brian for the great explanation. -- Original Message -- From: Brian/Support br...@legacyfamilytree.com To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com Sent: 8/22/2012 8:43:38 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer and Clipboard It is your choice whether to attach the image to the event, the source or both. If you attach a picture to an event (excluding birth, Chr/Bapt, death and burial) the picture can be included in narrative reports and will appear in the body of the report when the event is included. Pictures attached only to sources will only appear in the source citation listing at the end of the report if source pictures are selected. Re file formats: The Tif format Geoff recommends is for saving original scans. This is a loss-less format that includes all the detail from the original scan. Editing and saving again as a tif makes no change to the quality of the picture. It creates a large sized file because of this. A jpg file is a lossy format. It creates a smaller size file but loses a small amount of detail. Usually this loss is minimal with the first save but editing and re-saving a jpg file many times will result in degradation each cycle of edit and save and can lead to significant degradation in the picture quality. The recommendation is that you scan and save an original in tif format. You then edit and create a jpg copy of this file for attaching within Legacy. This gives you a high quality original if you need to perform further edits and a smaller file to attach to Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Location Notes
Rita - I don't see that the question was answered yet - so my stab at it! When you choose the report that you want you have options (margins, paper size, etc.). In that first screen of options there is a index button (bottom left hand side) - you open it and get name index and location index (see tabs at top) for location index one of your choices is clicking the box for notes. There you go. Not sure about pictures because I don't link photos. I am sure someone else might jump in.

I fully understand. I wish we could convert all messages to plain text or block those which aren't - as well as block all attachments. Unfortunately our emailer software doesn't give us that option Other than certain newsletters, I prefer plain text for all emails. I had received a complaint about messages not being trimmed which is why I sent out the reminder. Not trimming is a universal problem, even on groups where people are discussing mobile devices where messages *should* be trimmed because not everyone has unlimited data!

In my opinion this isn't a problem of what was included from prior messages put of the format. Most user are using HTML as the email format. The big ones were in HTML and had pictures included. The problem using a HTML email is that they get very large, can include eg. a virus and what you don't want is the possibility to include pictures. I prefer to use only plain text. That way I'm sure that there is no virus or trojan included and small. Using plain text means that the size of the emails are much smaller and are free of viruses.

Re: [LegacyUG] Error Msg
Anne, I thought that might be the case! This has cropped up before, and I cannot remember how it was resolved, a possibility is to use ViewMaster ListsPicture LocationsOptions and purge unused.The only record I have found cured the problem by exporting to GEDCOM, but because of other potential problems – particularly losing Source Writer Sources means I cannot recommend this.At the end of the day the field containing the NULL value has to be removed – this can, of course, be done using Access.

[LegacyUG] Radius Search of Geo location database
I've just been read the unofficial guide to legacy and on page 61 it tells how to do a radius search of the geolocation db, to find nearby towns research prospects. I wasn't aware of this feature it's great BUT seem to be missing the logical conclusion to the process, being the ability to print (or export) that search result. Is there any way of doing this that I've missed or do I have to hand copy the nearly 80 results in my 5km radius search? The issue of course being that the location is part of capital city that has undergone huge growth division in 200 years. Thanks in advance.

RE: Re[2]: [LegacyUG] Source Writer and Clipboard
Tiff files were, and to some degree still are, the preferred format four HIGH QUALITY images, but this is becoming less favoured with each revision of the jpeg standard.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer and Clipboard
LZW is lossless compression for TIFF's that will cut the file size in about half if hard-drive space is an issue. Choose that option when you're saving an image. To reconstitute just open the file and re-save with Compression:None. You can't get better definition out of an image by scanning at high res than is in the image to begin with. Considering your monitor can probably only see 96 dpi and regular home printers run in the range of 200-300 dpi, 1200 dpi is some other planet. What is band-width nowadays with a free Dropbox account? I don't hesitate for a second sending TIFF's over. The reason to link JPG's to Legacy instead of TIFF's is because Legacy will freeze if you try to do otherwise unless your TIFF's are very small. --- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/ On 8/23/2012 8:27 PM, Ian GARDENER wrote: Tiff files were, and to some degree still are, the preferred format four HIGH QUALITY images, but this is becoming less favoured with each revision of the jpeg standard.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to handle duplicate entries
Yes, but it still repeats all of the information, events etc for the first duplicated person. I believe this is on the 'to be fixed' list after I reported it quite some time ago - but to date it hasn't been fixed. i.e. I have my daughter attached to me and my first husband (her father) and also to me and my second husband because I want her and any descendants to show in reports as part of our family. All of her details and events are shown under her father and me, and when she is repeated in my second marriage all I really want is her name and 'see page x' - but all of her details and events are shown again. If she had children they wouldn't be repeated, but it is superfluous to have her information repeated twice.
