Re: [LegacyUG] Media Gallery issue

[William (Bill) R. Linhart]

I am glad you have a work around.  I don't have one yet.

I hope the  "muddle" does not metastasize for either of us.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Family Tree for Mac

[bobsgenealogy]

I run Legacy under CrossOver on my MAC laptop.  Except for a couple of minor 
things it seems to work very well.  I keep my Legacy files on DropBox so that I 
can run Legacy on my Win 10 machine as well.  The main issue is that you do not 
want to have Legacy open on two separate machines using the same data base at 
the same time - very bad things happen!  I used to use Parallels on my MAC.  I 
worked well, but I got tired of paying every year.  It also took up a lot of 
disk space for both WIN 10 and Parallels.  I would have to go over the options 
to remember what does not work, but it is very little.  When I first used 
CrossOver, a number of years ago, there were too many things that did not work 
in Legacy, but with the new versions of CrossOver, Legacy works quite well.

Re: [LegacyUG] Media Gallery issue

[Teresa Williams]

I never found a real fix. My work-around was to attach the image in the picture gallery.

 

The Picture Gallery and Media Gallery really seem quite muddled at times.

I am experiencing EXACTLY the same problem. 
 

My symptoms:

(1)  preferred picture showing in family view 

(2) no pictures showing in media gallery 

(3) no pictures attached to this person according to picture gallery tool

(4) in media gallery, no events have an * in the drop down indicating no pictures attached for this individual

(5) In settings == Options > customize > 8.9  

-checked box for Show the picture 

-radio button set All Preferred

-check box set "If there is no picture at all, display a place holder silhouette"

 

I only seem to have this problem with one individual.  I submitted a support request to look at this.

It sounds as if you simply attached to an event rather than direct to the individual. In the Media Gallery see a drop down arrow next to Individual. If you go up the list you'll find All which is All media linked to this individual (it doesn't include media linked to source citations for this person). This is a read only view.

Event media can show on Family View depending on your setting at Options - Customise 8.9

For the other one, nothing appears in the Media Gallery. But the picture is displayed alongside her name in Family View and in a Pedigree Report.

Checking in the Picture Centre I find no attached media for this one individual. Back to the family group and there she is!

What have I done wrong this time?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Family Tree for Mac

[Michael Feldman]

I run it on my Mac without problems using Windows XP under Oracle 
Virtual Box (a free program). I'm not a heavy user or a serious 
genealogist, but I've found LFT to be a better program than the native 
Mac alternatives. It would be very nice to see someone develop a new LFT 
from scratch on a common code base that could be ported to Windows, Mac, 
and Linux without too much difficulty. I wonder if Millenia has done a 
serious market survey on this -- they could reach a potentially very 
large market if they used this multi-platform approach.


Or if nobody is making much money these days on LFT, maybe they could 
even release the VB source and let the open-source world 
reverse-engineer it and rewrite it using something more up to date than 
VB. The success of big multiplatform open-source projects like Firefox 
is a good indicator of the progress we've made in separating 
multiplatform concerns from platform-specific ones. Mac, Windows, and 
Linux are not *that* different anymore.

Some Legacy users will stick with a Windows machine just for their

Conversion to the current Visual Basic .NET is possible, but it is not
backwards compatible and the conversion process is not possible for most
projects.

Is anybody aware if a Mac version of LFT is either planned and/or in 
development?
