OK, the date-format option you mention below now works nicely.

HOWEVER, the version 8 suppress-invisible-people option does not

This is not in Legacy 8 charting.

If you've only recently purchased Legacy 8 (since 25 Nov 2016) you are
eligible for a free upgrade to 9. If you didn't get the email, contact
Sales.



Sorry, Mike (and anyone else who might have been confused). When I
gave these directions I should have said that I am now using Legacy 9
and didn't know if that option was available in earlier versions.

Re: [LegacyUG] Data Entry Default Events

[Cathy Pinner]

Itzhak,

You are confusing the Family View screen which you can customise as you 
have, with the Individual Information screen.


The Family View screen is just a display of your data.

The Individual Information screen is where you enter the data.
Note to enter Cause of Death you have to open the Notes icon and choose 
the Medical tab. It doesn't have a data entry field on the Individual 
Information screen.


Yes it takes more clicks or keyboard shortcuts to enter Occupation, 
Residence and Immigration.
There can be multiple events for all of those taking them out of 
Events/Facts wouldn't be particularly helpful to most people.

Where they are, you have a lot of control how they are used.
People do not have that control over the "vital events" of birth, 
baptism/christening, death and buried.


For my research the christening and buried fields are as important as 
the birth and death fields for earlier generations as they are the dates 
that were recorded. I will never know the birth or death dates of many 
people because they weren't recorded anywhere. I know that shows a 
Western/Christian bias.


So I support the option to be able to define which birth 
alternative/equivalent field is used so that people from other cultures 
some use it.

People are born and they die. Some are baptized and buried, but other

I still do not understand why cause of death was given such prominent

Re: [LegacyUG] Missing Media Files

[Maria Fraser]

Hi Cathy

Thank you for that information. At the moment I am still using Legacy 8, 
but as soon as my problem is resolved I will purchase Legacy 9.


I have taken onboard what you and other Legacy users have suggested and 
now seem to have solved my problem.


I clicked on Media Gallery and selected the picture frame below. I then 
checked how many copies of each family member I had saved and noticed 
that some of them had up to 10 of the same jpg photo. I removed all but 
1 and I am now not receiving the message which told me that I had 16 
missing media files.



thank you all for your help.

Cheers

Maria from NZ

Maria,
Which version of Legacy are you using?

If you go to the location mentioned you may find the relevant button 
is labelled Test Media Folders. If you click it there's a checkbox to 
get a list of the media files that can't be found.

Then you can find and relink them manually.
This is necessary if you have renamed the files outside of Legacy. 
Otherwise the Media Relinker may help you.


However, the problem may be that the combined path and filename are 
too long. This is likely to occur if you have many levels of 
sub-folders, especially if you start from ...\Documents\Legacy Family 
Tree\Meda\ folder as this is already several layers deep unless you 
have moved your Documents folder out of the User folders.
If you do move it, you have to do it properly using the Properties 
screen for My Documents, Location tab
The latest update to Legacy 8 - build 601 and to Legacy 9 include a 
check for media filenames (path plus the actual name) tat are too 
long. See File - File Maintenance - Check/Repair.

Correct this and after re-linking you may have no further problem.

My question is: I have been trying to attach family photos to each of
the people in my tree. Some have worked successfully, but others have
not and I continually receive the message listed below when backing up
after each session that I have 10 or more missing media files. I have
followed the instructions listed below, but i'm still not able to

Is there a webinar that I could watch? Or a step by step way of

I would be very grateful if someone within the group could help me

Re: [LegacyUG] Data Entry Default Events

[Brian Kelly]

Mike, I think Itzhak needs a straight event driven database model 
instead of the Legacy one which treats the "Vital" Events in a special 
way and always displays those in the entry screen. I think there are 
some programs that are organized that way but I have never used one with 
that orientation.


I do not know how those types of programs identify the Legacy Vital 
Events, or if they even bother.

Re: [LegacyUG] Data Entry Default Events

[Denise Moss-Fritch]

Itzhak,

 

Well, that depends upon which window (main application or Individual's
information) where you want the specialty displays.

 

If you want to change the main application window's data display, try the
following:

1.  Right click on any of the five default field labels (Born, Chr,
Died, Buried, or DthCau).
2.  From the Customize dialog, click on the three dot icon [,,,] to open
the Field Names to Display dialog.
3.  Scroll through the list and select a field name to replace the field
label you selected to replace.
4.  When finished, click Close.

 

Note that this change is only on the main application window and does not
change the information shown in the Individual's Information dialog. Also
note that from the Customize dialog you can return to the default field list
([Default] button) along with saving a specific rename of the main
application window data (the Save and Load buttons on the Customize dialog).

 

Is this change to the information display on the main application window
what you wanted?

 

Denise

Re: [LegacyUG] Data Entry Default Events

[Cathy Pinner]

Itzhak
You are not the only one who would like the ability to change the 
Christening field.
It's possible in the future that some options could be added for other 
near birth events as this is a special field which is used as a birth 
alternative when birth information is not available. There are certainly 
suggestions officially logged for that.


However, Events like Occupation and Residence belong in Events/Facts 
section where there are default sentences provided or you can write your 
own.

As you know these can be displayed on the Family View screen if desired.

If you use the Christening field for different purposes, you'd either 
have to always edit your reports in a Word Processor or leave that field 
out of reports as it wouldn't make sense as Ron has discovered. But this 
is not a program fault as Legacy provides perfectly good events where 
this information is supposed to be entered.

hand, residence and occupation data are important to me. How do I replace
"christened" and "buried" in that window with other events?

The Family window started with the same four event plus "cause of death" and
I replaced three of the events in it.  This deals with display but not with
data entry.

You are welcome. I'm glad it helped. When the issue gets fixed you will 
be able to include spouses of Children.

There is a known problem with the Ancestor Book report. Turn off the Show
Spouses of Children and your report should work.

When I click the 'Preview' button (with the Screen/Printer bullet
checked) I can see that a report is being created  but nothing opens
on my computer screen. I have tried Alt/Tab to see if it opens in a
hidden browser but there is no report there. The Descendant Book
option works fine. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Re: [LegacyUG] Data Entry Default Events

[Brian Kelly]

The individual data entry screen has not changed. Birth, 
Baptized/Christened/Death and Burial are still entered as the Vital 
Events in the same way as all previous versions.
