Re: [LegacyUG] Necessary to rebuild my hard drive ...
Thanks to everyone who responded to my call of distress. I am using DeLux Legacy. Moving Legacy and its data have proven to be a major undertaking. The JPG files move smoothly ... Legacy finds all PDFs in an album once it is shown at least the location for one. Not so for the RTFs or PDFs. The PDFs normally open Adobe Reader and the RTFs open my word processor, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I am resigned to having to find and open each file separately. But thanks for your comments.

[LegacyUG] Necessary to rebuild my hard drive ...
LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com Due to a series of mishaps with my computer, one of which garbled all the data on the hard drive ... by moving files into other folders, etc. Not a pretty picture. I decided to buy a new external hard drive and start over. I knew it was not going to be easy, but wasn't anticipating having to work with every file I've used in Legacy. The jpg files are fairly easy to recover and move, but the biggest problems at the moment are the pdf and rtf files. Both types of files have worked just fine for years in the Photo Album prior to this catastrophe, but now I must completely remove the file from the album and reinstall a new copy. Question: Are pdf and rtf files not supposed to be used in the Legacy Photo Album? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

[LegacyUG] Exporting selective multimedia files
Hello, I have separated a family line to send to another family member.That worked great. Is there a way to also send only those pictures in the gallery associated with that particular family line?

[LegacyUG] Question re: Picture Gallery
Hello, Is there a way to selectively print photos when printing out a Photo Album? I have stored some documents that I don't want printed in the albums for some people. OR is there a way to create a second album?

Re: [LegacyUG] Question re: Picture Gallery
Brian, Thanks for the prompt reply. I have reduced the size of the files to 125px and 4" for the shortest side. It worked perfectly. With 33 graphics in the gallery, it now refreshes instantly.

[LegacyUG] Question re: Picture Gallery
Is there any type of limit to the number of pictures that can be stored in the picture gallery? Currently I have 25 or so in one gallery and my program seems very sluggish whenever I add to that gallery or move a picture. My system has 4G of RAM and I have rebooted to clear the memory, but the gallery is still slow to respond.

[LegacyUG] How will our genealogy research survive us?
After reading the sad tales of years of genealogy research being lost, I had a thought regarding how our research can survive us. I have spent many hours researching at the Mormon's LDS Genealogy Library in Salt Lake City. In that time, I have benefited greatly from research done by others. Until this LegacyUG exchange came up I never gave much thought as to how the Mormon's collected the materials. I know they have been sending young missionaries out to microfilm public records, but I didn't know how the personal research was collected. There are likely other libraries or historical societies that would accept genealogy research also, especially if it it local to the library. This LegacyUG exchange prompted me to check the LDS website for more information and I found the following: A summary of the items FamilySearch will accept is listed below. I hope this helps. FamilySearch will accept only materials that: · Are readable, organized, and accessible to help researchers identify individuals and relationships by name, date, and place. · Add new information to FamilySearch’s collection (duplicate materials are not accepted). · Fit in available shelf space. · Do not violate current privacy and copyright laws. FamilySearch accepts the following materials: · Autobiographies and biographies containing genealogical material. · Family histories with genealogical information. · Indexes to records. · Local histories (limited). · Well organized collections of genealogical and research materials (if preapproved by Library Rights). FamilySearch accepts the following materials only if submitted with a Permission to Duplicate form signed by the copyright owner or legal custodian of the original documents: · Census records. · Directories (limited). · Genealogical periodicals. · Newspaper extracts (such as obituaries). · Commercially available computer software. · Original records, such as cemetery records, church records and histories, court records, land records, military records, naturalization records, passenger lists, probate records, and vital records. The above is from: https://help.familysearch.org/help/viewdocument?documentId=101707&sliceId=SAL_Public&userQuery=how+to+submit+my+genealogy ?
