[LegacyUG] Load Source Clipboard / Legacy 9
This afternoon, I wanted to add a source from the "Load Citations from Disk" option. However, the "Load Source Clipboard" was blank. I was unable to "Select the Source Clipboard file you would like to load." Numbers one through ten appear on the left, but the names of the ten sources are gone. What is the name of the file name that maintains these sources? Is there a way to bring back files that are gone or empty? Help and thank you. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
Re: [LegacyUG] FW: Warning about MyHeritage / OFF LIST / Personal Emails
John, Cathy, and CE, I would like to voice my complaint that this message, with the Subject line, "Re: [LegacyUG] FW: Warning about MyHeritage / OFF LIST / Personal Emails" has been hijacked and changed into something far different. Those of us interested in the original thread have been thwarted. "...Having difficulty deleting MyHeritage from my computer" was not even close to the existing discussion. The responders should have, at least, changed the subject line to something relevant. Arnold Sprague At 10:28 PM 6/26/2018, you wrote: I am having difficulty deleting MyHeritage from my computer. I found its folder on my C drive within another folder named âProgram Files (x86)â. When I right-click then click delete, a pop-up message says âThe action canât be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another programâ. All my other programs were however closed. Could the problem be that Legacy keeps a connection to MyHeritage in order to conduct the background website searches on family trees? I cannot think of any other program that may be using MyHeritage. It was previously pinned to the taskbar but not now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My computer uses Windows 7. I have deleted MyHeritage on the âAll Programsâ list but it cannot be deleted as noted above.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I have been wanting to make this request for weeks. In addition to what you are asking, I would like to be able to put up two "Set Relationships" icons; one for my wife and one for me.

I have a Sarah Baldwin ( - 1669). Source A shows her father is Sylvester Baldwin. I now find that Source B shows her parents are Richard Baldwin and Isabell Harding.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to source a ,docx document
Anthony, I think that Henry T. Peterson came closer to answering my question when he sent an example of what the Legacy master source would actually look like. Perhaps you might address the part of my question of the document being updated annually and potential change of editor. Would I thus need a new master source for each year reflecting the *annual* update, for example? Or is what Henry suggested more than sufficient?

Re: [LegacyUG] Creating a web site
Gary,
#1. This is a public list and requesting a private reply
deprives the rest of us who can learn from the responses you receive.
#2. I strongly suggest Simply Hosting
http://www.simplyhosting.net .
as a host. The price is right and the help provided is the best. I
run two websites with them:
http://www.sprague-database.org
and
http://www.ac-family.org .
#3. If you decide to create a website, strongly consider
buying The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding ("TNG")
http://www.lythgoes.net/genealogy/software.php
to provide a most useful graphical user interface for your visitors.
Please note that Simply Hosting will install TNG, for free, for you.
However, installing it yourself has its own pluses, if you are
comfortable with big/detailed installations. For TNG user support,
there is "a support forum, a wiki, a blog, and two mailing lists."
TNG is large, so there is a pretty good learning curve.
Hope this helps,
Arnold Sprague

Re: [LegacyUG] To-Do List
This, too, has been my hard-learned experience when it seems that Legacy is locked up. Brian is correct that an open Legacy screen is buried somewhere. You just have to find a way to expose it, to bring it to the surface. He spent some time figuring out how to do it. Thank you. At 05:15 AM 2/29/2016, you wrote: When Legacy appears to lock up and a function is not visible it may be that the screen for that feature is hidden behind another window. Here are two tricks to make the window visible. It requires a keyboard and I do not have a Surface Pro3 so I cannot test this with any onscreen keyboard or add-on keyboard. If you tap the Alt key that will frequently bring the current active window to the foreground and make it visible. Another trick, in case the hidden window is not in the visible area of your display, is to use hold down Alt and tap the spacebar. That key combination brings up a windows menu for the active window. If the window is not visible the menu will appear off to the edge of the display closest to the window. Choose move from the menu then you can use the cursor keys to move the menu location towards the centre of the display (if the menu was on the top edge use the down arrow for example). When you have the window positioned on screen hit enter to exit the move option.

I have always prefixed my Source List Names with the File ID ex. 2423 1920 US Census, Parks Bar Twp., Yuba Co., CA Three Scott Families which is also part of the attached media name ex. 2423_IMG.jpg (obviously Im a splitter, not a lumper). That makes finding the source easy, but a list of all source names, sorted alpha-numerically, looks helter-skelter. When sorted by the text after the File ID, the source names are better organized and visually useful in finding typos and inconsistencies in data entry. But then it seems much harder to find particular sources for editing or citation selection. Ive suggested to the Legacy folks that a search by File ID ability would be very useful (and it would solve my problem). But until that happens Im looking for ideas from other users. One caveat I cant use source details for primary source information and attached media (ie, no lumping) as my TNG website wont see media attached to source details in a GEDCOM, just the Detail Information and Text/Comments.

[LegacyUG] Legacy Export / Source
When I do a Legacy Export to make a GEDCOM file to put on my website, the name of the source that appears on the website is what I had entered in the "Source List Name (name to display in master source list)." What I would like to appear, instead, is what I entered in "Title." The rub is that what I entered in "Source List Name (name to display in mater source list)" is for my own use and makes no sense when it appears on my website. Before I submit a suggestion on this matter, is there an overlooked way for me to "customize" the source when I do an Export? Thank you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy how-to link for using voice recognition
Cathy and Michele, Thank you for your replies. I was looking for the link Cathy gave below: https://www.dropbox.com/s/508bulqmn2a8p6f/LFT-Dragon.mp4?dl= I had come across it earlier but could not find it again. Bobby Johnson provided a super demonstration. Windows 7 has free, built-in "Speech Recognition." See link below: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/set-speech-recognition#1TC=windows-7 Note that "Speech Recognition is available only in English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese." I will give this freebie a try and let you know if I like it. My needs are simple: Entering a name or place, no ambient noises; so this may well serve my needs.

[LegacyUG] "Set Tag Colors" (Customize 9.2 / Other User-Interface Colors)
It appears that a tremendous amount of time and effort went into designing "Color Palettes" and "Pre-defined color sets" for "Set Tag Colors" (Customize 9.2 / Other User-Interface Colors). However, the new subtlety does not make the Tags really stand out as before. For example, with L7.5, I set up Tag one with a bright blue background, two with bright red, and three black. Without paying much attention, I easily knew when I had birth, marriage, and death certificates for an individual. Now, not so apparent. Is it possible that a standard color set for tabs be the "Legacy Classic" set? Thank you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Manual password
Hi Wendy, I would have to disagree with you on this matter. Jane has a legitimate complaint that she is precluded from being able to copy/paste her password to easily open a locked PDF file. Instead, she is required to enter the password manually. I have bumped up against this problem elsewhere and was told it was the webmaster's decision. While I assume Legacy's webmaster did not require this, someone did and I would be curious as to the rationale. IMHO, it is not user friendly.

Double click on a parent and have that person now be in main box. In Legacy 7.5, this was achieved via Options/Customize/To Move Names in Family View.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ahnentafel Report
Howland Davis and Gene A, I agree with Howland that Legacy does *NOT* provide an Ahnentafel Report. At best, Legacy provides a semi-stripped down ancestor report which passes for an Ahnentafel Report. IMHO, an Ahnentafel Report simply provides the following: #1. My name #2. My father's name #3. My mother's name #4. My father's father's name #5. My father's mother's name #6. My mother's father's name #7. and on Legacy adds much more, such as information pertaining to the parents of each person above, generation numbers, spouses, and on. Howland wishes "to create a short Ahnentafel report in order to find my first unknown ancestor ." I would like to do that for my family also, but the Legacy report is *NOT* short, not concise, etc., as the generally accepted Ahnentafel Report is.

Re: [LegacyUG] Window sizes
Sherry, In your final paragraph below, you suggested deleting Legacy2.usr. I did that and nothing has improved. I run three monitors on Windows XP, SP3. I place Legacy on the RIGHT-hand monitor. 1. If Legacy is maximized when I close it down and then reopen it, Legacy opens in the MIDDLE monitor full sized. 2. If, however, Legacy is "Restored down" (not minimized) when I close it down and then reopen it, Legacy opens in the RIGHT-hand monitor, but not maximized. This is repeatable and has occurred for years. My question is how can I run Legacy maximized (in full-screen mode) on my RIGHT-hand monitor and have it open there again, full sized, after I close Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Converting Source Citations
Rich is correct when he writes below, "For accuracy sake, when Source Writer was added, the conversion tool was there."

The tool was there and then it was quietly gone with an upgrade. The conversion tool worked just fine for me. I was saddened by its sudden demise. I apologize in advance if this post is in html. My mail program let me stipulate that it is "plain," not "styled." If I messed up, please write to me OFF-LIST at . Thank you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool
Jim, For a short while there was a conversion tool built into Legacy. It was wonderful. It made my life very, very nice. Unfortunately, it was soon removed in an update; far, far before I could **easily** convert all my sources. One must strike while the iron is hot The reason we were given as to the removal of the conversion tool was that it did not always work correctly and that there were some unhappy campers as a result. I, for one, would be **most** willing to take my chances with the Legacy conversion tool.

[LegacyUG] Number of Notes in Legacy
Under Legacy Home/Statistics, Legacy shows how many Individuals, Families, and Sources I have. However, I would also like to know how many Notes I have. Is there a way for me to ascertain the number of Notes in Legacy? Thank you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Manuals?
Dick, Go to http://www.legacyfamilytreestore.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1 and scroll down to Legacy Family Tree 7.0 User's Guide (Download Only), $9.95, The official, 336-page Legacy 7.0 User's Guide. PDF version. On the same webpage is a printed version for $14.95. I do not see anything for Legacy Charting.

RE: [LegacyUG] Moving to a new PC
Sherry, I went to Tips/Moving Legacy Family Files between Computers as you suggested. Unless I am mistaken, the .usr files are NOT included/transferred when I perform the steps enumerated in Tips/Moving Legacy Family Files between Computers. At least, I could not find "usr" when I looked at the seven files in the zipped file. If I am correct, what other files do we have to move so that the two computers are identical in terms of Legacy? Thank you, Arnold P.S. I am having a tough time with this post as it is being rejected, "Subject: You do not have permission to post to the." Have been a member for years. So sorry if this post is out of date whenever I get things to work again. At 09:29 AM 1/22/2010, you wrote: >Jeff, > >1. The settings are in the .usr files. You can copy those over.

Re: [LegacyUG] GEO Updates Coming?
Mr Fry writes below, "I suspect that they might even be slightly embarrassed by ever making such a facility available and now have no real means or inclination to upgrade or make more general purpose." I, for one, am more than satisfied with what Legacy gave us. It works most of the time. When I write "most of the time," I mean 80%-90% of the time. I see no cause to insult Legacy. And I run a website which has 31,000+ places (24,000+ in the USA) on it.
