Re: [LegacyUG] HELP WITH PICTURES

[Cathy Pinner]

Gary,
Leon has given you a great work flow - but I wouldn't resize your 
pictures that small. Also make absolutely sure you are resizing copies. 
I go for 2 to 3 times larger. Even for thumbnails in Reports, if you go 
beyond including small pics and want someday to commercially print any 
reports/books, then you need more pixels.
You also need more pixels if you ever take advantage of the Sliding 
picture show for family gatherings.

Gary:

You have about 4 steps to get your iPad pictures into Legacy.

I will outline the process.
1. Transfer your iPad pictures to your PC
2. Edit / Resize your pictures (e.g., 400x400 pixels)
3. Copy / Move resized pictures to your Legacy picture file folder
(e.g., Windows 10 --- c:/Documents/Legacy Family Tree/Media/)
4. Attach 1 file to Individual and/or 1 file to an Event for
individual or a marriage event for a family picture. This events
picture is the only way to be able to print the picture in a report.
When the pictures r printed in a report, they normally are only 1.5"
high by 1" wide. For a scrapbook, I would print either 4 or 6 per page
and this is why you want to resize / crop the picture used in Legacy
to something like 400x400, 400x300, . you need to experiment with
the scrapbook report and see how many you want to print on a page and
size all of your pictures so that will work correctly.

Here are some other tips but will not go into depth of how to.
Step 1 above:
Several ways to transfer iPad pictures to PC --
- Use iTunes and connect iPad
- use a USB stick like sans to copy and transfer
- use an app like PhotoSync on iPad and PC on same Wi-Fi ( this is my
favorite way)
- use a cloud service like DropBox

Step 2 a I like FastStone Image Viewer. It is free and simple to use
for resizing pictures. About 10 minutes and you r good to go.

Anyway, that's a start. The devil is always in the details.

Re: [LegacyUG] Swap Split Screen Windows

[Bill Hoff]

Interesting. I'm still using Win 7 on laptop and have a second monitor. Use it 
all the time including with Legacy. I will be buying a replacement laptop with 
Win 10 all in one soon. Wife uses Win 10 and additional monitor at work but not 
with Legacy of course. 
  I do have a second little used laptop all in one with Legacy installed for 
traveling. Never tried with additional monitor. Guess I'll now check that out.

Re: [LegacyUG] Swap Split Screen Windows

[Leonard J. McCown]

Once you start using two monitors, you will soon find you don’t know how you 
lived w/o two for so long. My son in law set mine up and I drag Legacy back and 
forth with no problem. I have to 27 and sometimes I will split one with FAG and 
Ancestry. You can accomplish more with two.

Re: [LegacyUG] Swap Split Screen Windows

[Roberta Montpetit]

Legacy just won't go to the other monitor when I try to drag it over.  I
can drag everything else to the 2nd monitor but not Legacy.

How do you manage to do that with Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Swap Split Screen Windows

[Chris Hill]

No need to drag Legacy, just put Legacy on one monitor and your web browser on 
the other. Once set up, the system will remember where to put them in the 
future.

Windows can't be dragged if they are maximized, and I suspect this is 
the problem with dragging your Legacy window.  First, "Restore Down" 
to a smaller size, then drag it across, then maximize it.

Re: [LegacyUG] LegacyUG] Future of Legacy Private Website Creator

[John Cardinal]

Glória,

GedSite (www.gedsite.com) does not create trees that look exactly like 
MyHeritage, but they are not lists, either. GedSite creates "person pages" for 
each person in the GEDCOM file, but it also allows you to add custom pages. 
Those pages can contain charts (with several variations available), stories, 
etc. It also includes a search feature where a visitor can match people based 
on name, spouse's name, or parent's names. There are too many other features to 
list here, but you can check it out via the website indicated above.

Re: [LegacyUG] Swap Split Screen Windows

[Roberta Montpetit]

Thank you.  It worked.  Didn't realize what you meant until I saw the
"double square" in the upper right hand corner of the screen; clicked on it
and BINGO!
