Re: [LegacyUG] Location of Legacy files

[Cathy Pinner]

Gary,

I have my hard drive partitioned into a C and a D drive. I keep programs 
and operating system on C and data on D.
I have moved my Documents folder, etc from C to D. You need to do this 
properly

So my Legacy settings are at
D:\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\

It's that _AppData folder that is locked to the Windows recognised 
Documents folder. But as you see, I have mine on my D drive.  When 
you're using Legacy, you can easily tell which is the recognised folder 
as at least files in Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\usr\ are 
updated every time you use Legacy.


The Documents folder is usually by default at
C:\Users\\Documents
though sometimes the Windows recognised folder is found by people in 
OneDrive - I'm not sure what setting causes that.
Right click on it and choose properties and then use the Location tab to 
move it.

You can store your Legacy data file and associated media files 
anywhere you like. They don't have to stay in the default location.


I keep mine in a Dropbox folder.

Note that if you delete the default folders, they may be recreated 
when Legacy needs to use them, and you may lose some settings changes 
you've made along the way.  There is a hidden folder in the Legacy 
Family Tree folder which may not be visible to you, depending on the 
settings on your computer (this is a Windows setting, not Legacy).


If you want to move your data and media files, please read this

I have two physical HD's on my computer. I try to keep my "C" drive 
for the operation system and use the  2nd physical HD for all other 
working files, photos, documents etc etc.


I notice in the LOCATIONS tab in customizing the default path(s) for 
Legacy are as follows:

C:\Legacy Genealogy Families\Data
C:\Legacy Genealogy Families\Media

Can these locations be changed to a similar path on my "D" drive and 
Legacy still function properly with regards to backups, synchronizing 
with another computer using DROPBOX, SUGARSYNC or other syncing programs?

Jean,

I'm not sure where you were doing it where it didn't work. But yes, you 
have to do it in the correct Gallery. Maybe you were scrolling up to 
All? That's a read only view.
