Re: [LegacyUG] Lost family file after name change

[Tom Hayes]

Hi

Easiest action would be to restore a backup. Hopefully you will not have to add 
much to catch up.

Otherwise look for your lost Legacy File. It should be in a windows folder 
named Legacy Family Tree within a sub file called Data.( If you know the file 
name this can be found by searching for it in Windows.)

You should see the Legacy logo next to a file and several other files. If the 
Legacy logo file has a large amount of info (KBs), its still there. 

Try opening this file by double clicking on it. If in luck it should appear 
with all of your data.

A more technically problem might mean you somehow changed the extension on some 
of the files and Legacy no longer recognises it.

(If you have a copy of the Sample Data family you can skip Step 1)
Step 1 Open Legacy and restore an old backup. Save it with a different name to 
your original one e.g. Old Family.
Go back to the windows data folder. 
Step 2 Compare the new file name (or Sample Data files) to your original files. 
Make sure the similarly named files have the same extensions.
Change the extension names by right clicking on the name and rename the file 
extension after the dot (eg .fg)

Warning: As always it would be wise to make a backup before you make any 
changes.
Good Luck

Donna,
How did you change the filename? If you didn't do it from within Legacy - File 
- Rename File it's a difficult thing to do as you have to rename every file 
that makes up your family file properly AND not lose the extension.

If you did change the filename in Legacy then it should be on your Recent File 
list. See this article on how to access that if you don't know.

Re: [LegacyUG] V 9.0.0.226

[Cathy Pinner]

Jan
Before making decisions like not upgrading  you should learn more about 
what happens in the background.


MH have nothing to do with Legacy testing/quality control. Legacy is 
operating separately (see the webinar by Gilad Japhet the CEO of 
MyHeritage on MyHeritage and Legacy for more). Legacy  has its own beta 
testers (volunteers) who do their best in available time. In the lead up 
to the release of 9 and since have actually been working better than 
previously which is why the Legacy 9 release was not followed by a 
flurry of bug fix updates as has happened with previous version 
releases. You don't see what we do catch before each General Release but 
we can't catch everything.


Rune has caught an unusual side affect of a new change that would only 
have been picked up by a tester using Regional settings with , decimal 
separator.  The programmer is already checking this out.


Various features of Legacy 9 will stop working over time once Legacy 10 
is released as changes are made at eg FamilySearch. If you don't use 
those features, then there isn't a problem using earlier versions. 
Someone mentioned on Facebook recently that they were still using Legacy 4.

Emne: [LegacyUG] V 9.0.0.226



A warning and a question:

To thoseof you who have Windows regional setting set to any country
that does not use a dot (.) as decimal separator (in Sweden we use a
comma).

DO NOT INSTALL V 9.0.0.226!!

There is a high risk that your database will be corrupt, especially
if you are using geocoding.

And now the question:

How do I return to V 9.0.0.217?

Hopefully with the same database.

Jan,

If you are going to stop with Legacy v9 what are you going to move to? I
have seen issues in most productsQA is something all companies are
struggling with. Not heard any references to V10 anyway have you?

[LegacyUG] Lost family file after name change

[donna1]

I changed the name of a family file and thought I did everything correctly. The 
file with the original name still appears in the list  but it is empty. I can 
not find the file with the new name. I did refresh the list. How can I get my 
family back?
Thanks.Donna

Re: [LegacyUG] V 9.0.0.226

[Michele Lewis]

Rune, 
I copied this from John’s response to you on Facebook so that everyone can see 
it…


Rune,  Thanks for your alert. This may be related to the fixes that were done 
for manual entry of coordinates. Our testing did not indicate a problem with 
coordinates already in the table. I have alerted the programmers. We knew we 
still had an issue with manual entry of coordinates when entry used a comma for 
a decimal separator. 

I suggest that you not try to edit any of your existing locations that have 
geocoding until we resolve this. Tag any new locations so you can easily find 
them to repair, if needed. Backup your family file! Thanks.
