Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 9 - Hints - Query

[marion wimsett]

Thank you Cathy, that  has answered the question admirably. I have subs to
Ancestry and FMP (and yes I do realise you can initiate a search on any
site). I will take note of when free days come up for other web sites -
thank you for the idea.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 9 - Hints - Query

[Cathy Pinner]

Marion,

The websites have to provide an API (Application Programming Interface) 
in order for the Hints to be provided. These 4 are the only ones to have 
done that.


Note that the Hints can be helpful by alerting you to the existence of a 
source even if you don't have a subscription. MyHeritage Record Match 
hints are often to the FamilySearch databases so you can go there and 
search for it.


FamilySearch hints on the other hand are not coming from their databases 
but from data they have hinted to their FamilySearch tree (and only then 
if you have

entered the FamilySearch ID in Legacy).

Also there are free days on many subscription websites so you can take 
note their are Hints you want to follow up and make the most of that 
free time. At least I know FindMyPast and Ancestry have free days 
regularly.


Note in Legacy 8 and 9 (and earlier versions) you can initiate a search 
for the current person on any site you like. Some searches are provided 
but you can add your own. Internet - Search Internet.

Hi Jane,

The core parts of legacy are in the drop box, not the whole program.

You cannot run Legacy from a Drop Box or a Cloud account.

The main fdb file and  a few bits and pieces are in the db. Everything else is 
where it should be so that it can work with Windows.

 

I hope this makes sense.

Thank you very much. Both systems are now up and running. I really only 
use my laptop when attending our local Legacy Group classes, so don't

Re: [LegacyUG] Citations from Hints in v.9?

Carrie,

Yes, I'm well aware of that. I just thought it would be nice if, along with
the hint content, Legacy might provide the appropriate citation. Probably
asking for too much.

Re: [LegacyUG] Citations from Hints in v.9?

[Ed Ladendorf]

Gene said " will Legacy 9 facilitate in any fashion the creation of a
source citation". So the understanding is there that the source should be
cited, and the answer to the question is probably simply "no"

Re: [LegacyUG] window opens off screen

[Cheryl Rothwell]

I actually found one the other day by changing  (reducing) the resolution
on the second monitor.

I haven't tried Bob's Window - right (or left) arrow yet.

I don't understand is why it got worse with Legacy 9 and why it doesn't
happen in other programs if it is a Windows issue. But I really don't care
whose issue it is. I just want it resolved!

Re: [LegacyUG] window opens off screen

[Sherry]

This is something I've dealt with for years when I was using Win7 and then
again after a fresh install of Win10 and talked with Ken, one of the
programmers, about it. He can't duplicate it and doesn't know what's going
on with it. And yes, I've seen this only with Legacy as well.

I've only seen it with v8. I used to use that version on my secondary
monitor all the time. I haven't been using v9 on the secondary monitor, so
it hasn't been an issue.

If I open v8 on the secondary monitor, I don't have any problems with the
windows going partially off screen.

I have previously tried Brian's suggestion of deleting the Legacy2.usr file
many times so Legacy can create a fresh one, but that hasn't helped at all.

It sounds like you do have both monitors on though. Have you tried playing
around with the settings for dual monitor display? Could your resolution be
part of the culprit if they're completely disappearing? I use a higher
resolution.

And no, I wouldn't expect a "child" window to show on the taskbar, task
manager, or in alt-tab, except for a couple of instances where the
programmers have broken them out to be independent, such as Legacy
Charting, File > Export and a couple of other places.
