Re: [LegacyUG] File cleanup
Hi Bob, You could make a copy of your file and work on that - so that if it all turns to custard, or you decide a different approach might be better, you can start again without any permanent harm to your original file. In fact, I'd work on a copy anyway if you're handling a major task like that. And do a backup before starting - cover all your bases! :-) Along the same lines, you can copy your Legacy file to a flash drive, or a CD, or to a Dropbox folder (or other cloud storage service) to share with someone else who can help you. Note the word copy - keep your original safe until it's all over. And don't go making any further data entries to it while the work is going on, 'cos you'll only have to repeat it when the repairs are completed. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Carolyn Foran said the following on 2/08/2013 12:57 p.m.: Hello; For some reason we have double triple entries on my wife's Legacy Family File Program. The manual shows how to eliminate these extra entries, However we don't feel confident in taking on the cleanup. Is it possible to download this file on a flash drive for someone else?

Consequently, any developer that adds new features to their software will be inherently unable to transfer those features to other software (or web sites) via GEDCOM - not that they would wish to :-) What people actually need is an independent developer to produce a program that can read one native database and produce another, native database.

Re: [LegacyUG] Migration of Data/photos.
Brian, Thank you for your to the point answer. So I guess the only work around for a problem such as this is to insert each pic manually at an intermediate step to producing the final output. In other words I can create a picture box, import the proper photo then proceed to my final printout. Thanks Again, Les - Original Message - From: Brian/Support br...@legacyfamilytree.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2013 6:12 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Migration of Data/photos. Les, Suppress details for living is just that, and a picture is a detail. They will not print with suppress details turned on. The jpg vs jpeg question, is so far as I know an issue with people who use web pages and want their files on their web server named with the *.jpeg extension (a legal form for the file name) instead of *.jpg. Legacy converts all images used on web pages to the Joint Photographic Engineering Group (JPEG) format from all other formats such as tiff, bmp etc. that are recognized in Legacy. It then stores that converted file with the .jpg extension in the web page project pictures folder and all webpages link to that copy of the file. If a user has linked a *.jpeg file to someone then that file is copied to the web page folder and renamed .jpg. The tiff issue is related more to the overall size of a tiff file versus the more compact formats such as jpeg. With a lot of tiff images linked to your file the need to process and display those large images can cause performance problems. The same issue can arise with any bitmap non-compressed format such as bmp as well. For normal use in Legacy we usually recommend making a copy of your image file as a jpeg format which is much smaller and has more than adequate quality for printing in reports and display on your monitor.

Re: [LegacyUG] File cleanup
Hello Bob, Speaking from a PC point of view using Windows; Yes you can make a backup copy of your file(s) on a flash/thumb drive. The steps to accomplish this are: 1. Insert thumb drive and make note of the drive letter assigned by Windows. 2. Open Legacy, or switch to Legacy if it is already open. Click on File (upper left) in the Legacy window. 3. Dropdown menu will appear and choose Backup Family File 4. Window will open named Customize Backup. 5. Click the rectangle box labled Select Name and Location for Data Backup. 6. Scroll down in the left lower window to find the drive letter from step #1 (E:) or (F:). Click on the letter that was assigned in step #1. 7. Click Save. This will close the explorer window and take you back to the Customize Backup window for Legacy. 8. The Drive letter assigned in step #1 will now be below the box labled Select name and Location for Data Backup. 9. Click Backup and Legacy will let you know when it is through. 10. Be certain to eject the Flash/thumb drive properly so you don't damage the drive and possibly lose information. (see instructions with your drive) With the backup stored on the flash/thumb drive, you can now proceed with the repair database or the procedure of choice from the manual to correct/cleanup your data. When you attempt to repair or Cleanup your data, Legacy will ALWAYS ASK you to backup your data before beginning. That way, if it doesn't work the way you like you can restore your data using the Thumb/Flash drive or one of the backups on your hard drive from C:/Legacy. Be not afraid, Trust the technology!

Re: [LegacyUG] LEGACY ON TWO HOME COMPUTERS
Hi Joyce, Can I set up a home situation where I have Legacy installed on both my desktop and laptop computers... Yes you can do that, but... ...so that the two computers can be used at the same time for Legacy data entry, but the Legacy data being entered into both goes into one “master†Legacy programme? No, you can't do that. Your Legacy database can be open on only one computer at a time. You can put the Legacy file into a folder that is shared with another computer via cloud storage (such as Dropbox), so that when you open the file on either computer (assuming it's closed on the other computer) you are opening the current and up-to-date file. You might also like to look into intellishare in the Help files - if you're wanting to collaborate with another person, that might fit your needs.

Re: [LegacyUG] MERGING 2 GEDCOMS
Sam A nice feature that I use is from the “Tools” section “Compare Two Files For Duplicates”. This allows you to view potential duplicates in your own file and your wife’s, and tag the ones that you would wish to merge. The simplest way (assuming that you are not using these tag numbers already) is to use the number “1” tag on one file and the number “2” tag on the other file. You then import the “wife’s” file into yours, find the tagged individuals and manually merge them. Most often when you merge one duplicate Legacy will automatically switch to duplicates mode and find other potential duplicates, usually your tagged persons. When you have finished merging, go to the names list, click on the “Search” box at the bottom of the list, choose the “Show All Tagged Tag 1 Individuals”. The list should now show all these individuals with both tags “1” “2”. Any individuals that only have only tag”1” still require to be merged with their tagged “2” duplicate.

If you look up Import and Merge in the Help index, you'll find great instructions for doing both of those processes.

What I want to do is merge my wife's to mine to get one big file to look at. We have few common ancestors and I would like to see who they are. What is a simple way to merge them? I have them in a split screen but can find no menue to merge them together.
