Re: [LegacyUG] Sources in Assigned Sources View not showing entire source citation
It can be kind of hard to notice it sometimes since the Master Source, ID numbers and Source Detail are all one paragraph..

Re: [LegacyUG] Maintenance - Regular
I hope you're backing up more than monthly. You should back up after doing a lot of work in the file and before using any of the tools which affect your file globally Even if you're deleting one or two things, it's probably a good idea to do a backup. We get emails from people who accidentally deleted something and want to know how to get it back! I'd toss in run Potential Problems Report but with the PP Indicators now, that's not as important as it was. Otherwise the routine looks pretty good to me.

Re: [LegacyUG] update 8.0.0.414 messes up chronology report
I've been in and out of the Chronology all day starting with different people and the report is always fine. I don't know what can be going on with your file You could try reinstalling Legacy and if that doesn't help, you probably should contact Support. I have sometimes seen a delay when switching files. The data from the old file can hang around a couple of seconds and sometimes a delay when going to another tab. The other question would be what do you have running in the background? Could that be slowing Legacy? When was the last time you restarted your computer?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Update Notice and "Legacy Home tab".
Tab - think of the top of a file folder or the little thingy sticking out on the side of the divider in a notebook.

You can also get to the Legacy website through "Technical Support" section in the Legacy Help Contents and there's extensive Help information about getting update notifications under Update.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Update Procedure
There is no Legacy Home button. There's a Legacy Home tab but no button. In earlier versions, there was a "Home" button on the far left of the toolbar which took you to the Preferred Startup Family. A lot of people were confused with the Legacy Home tab and the Home button when we'd give instructions so Ken changed that button to the Startup Family on the "My Toolbar" in v8. It wouldn't go on the File ribbon since it has nothing to do with Files but has to do with going to the Preferred Startup Family set in Options > Customize 1.3 (You can also set the Startup Family by clicking on the icon on the Options ribbon) Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 1:40 PM, J.M.

What you first need to do is import one file into the other by going to File > Import. *Then* you merge the duplicates. Before importing, back up the file you're importing into (File > Backup File) So look up "Import" first, then "Merge" (I can't give you specifics right now since I'm doing an update) Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 5:00 PM, Leon Chapman wrote: > Try the word: Merging > then look for "Merging Family Files - Best Practices" > > ___ > Leon Chapman > chap...@gmail.com > - > > > On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 5:19 PM, Pat Hickin wrote: >> >> I have two separate files -- one for my paternal side, the other for my >> maternal side.

Re: [LegacyUG] Best way to rename pdf files used within Legacy?
Picture Center works only with graphic file formats. You need to rename the file through Windows Explorer and then relink it in Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] a point instead of a comma
Not all fonts are created equal. Some don't play by the rules! One of our beta testers is a printer by trade and understands all the font things and explained it to me a long time ago but I don't remember all the details (I have it in an email someplace). I just know it's a problem with some of the fonts. Comic SansMS is one of them that gets cut off. Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 12:23 PM, Brian L.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Unknown People
To add to Michele's comment If you leave any unknown information blank,you can take advantage of the Search tab "Missing Information" and show underlines for missing information in Ancestor and Descendant books. Also, if you share FGR or other reports with other family members, if the field is blank it quickly catches their eye and they have a place to help update the information you're missing. If anything is entered in a field, it won't be found as "Missing" in the Missing Information search. Legacy is looking for an empty field.

Re: [LegacyUG] Event sentences
Yes. If you want to save your usr files and color schemes, then you need to back up those separately. *However* most computer system backups will automatically back up everything in the Documents folder so if you have a regular system backup of your hard drive, as you should, whether you use Windows backup, a 3rd party program or a cloud system such as Carbonite or Mozy, then everything's most likely being backed up...

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy for Mac Users
Crossover isn't free. It's the supported version of WINE and there's a charge for it, although Legacy users get a discount. WINE is free but unsupported. http://www.winehq.org/ I don't know if it works with v8 - since Crossover doesn't at this time, I don't think WINE will work with Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Potential Problems indicator regarding birth gaps
Do an estimated birth date with est or bef as a date prefix. A lot of baptisms are done on older children or adults. Sometimes the date is applicable, esp if it's a christening (naming of child done with sprinkling) shortly after birth) but many times it's not. My baptism was nearly 30 years after I was born! A gap would certainly show if the bap date was used, along with a "born after the death of the mother" and a "too long after the marriage of the parents" flag!

Re: [LegacyUG] Attaching a picture
If you have added the caption, date and description to the Picture List tab, then when you attach the picture, it should be showing on the Attached Pics tab. You have to add it to the Picture List tab *before* attaching the picture. This sticks and goes along with attaching the picture every time it's not at all convuluted! I've just linked the same picture to several individuals and every time the caption, date and description was "transferred" to the Attached Pic and I was able to confirm that in the Media Gallery for the individuals. However... the data is stored in the PicList.dbm file which is in the folder where the picture is stored. If you move the picture or rename it, you will lose the data stored in that file. If you move all pics in that folder to a new folder, then you need to make sure you move the PicList.dbm file as well. If you move part of the pics, there's no way to take the dbm file along with it. The programmers are trying to think of a better way to store the data to avoid this caveat Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Mon, Jan 6, 2014 at 10:51 AM, Jo Poi wrote: > Sherry > The method that the Picture Centre help files give are the same as what I > have described, and give the result as I described. > > CE > You have summed the situation up perfectly, why is it necessary to use such > a convoluted process ? > > Jo Poi > > Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

When you're in Picture Center, if you add the Caption< Date and Description to the Picture List tab, then it will be automatically added when you link a picture.

Upgrade and update are two different things. You update a current version through the Updates section on the Legacy Home tab. You upgrade by downloading the newer version from our website. Once the newer version is installed, again you'll install updates for that version through the Legacy Home tab.

Re: [LegacyUG] File extensions
Gary, If you go to the Help file in Legacy and look up "File extensions" you can find a list of all the files used in Legacy. Don't delete anything with your file name. Those files work with the data in your Family File. They have an older date because you may not have used the applicable feature for awhile (RGD = Research Guidance, CAL = calculated relationships, FG = focus group you've created) In fact, we don't recommend that you delete *anything* in the Legacy folders unless you *know* what it is (saved documents, etc) without direction from Support.

Re: [LegacyUG] Same Sex Partnerships/Marriages
We are "keeping count" somewhat, but as Leonard wrote quoting Ken, it's a major ripping apart of the basic design of Legacy and would be very time consuming for the programmers. Not only would they have to restructure Legacy, they would also have to re-code all the other options based on the restructuring - not to mention the trickle-down for all the add-on programs.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy8 Language file error
Delete the one you renamed. It's useless. I would recommend to everyone that when you get an error in Legacy, go to our Help Center > Troubleshooting Help and look up the solution in the KB. If the error isn't there, contact Support. Don't try to figure it out yourself and do something that can complicate the issue and don't google the error on the web - most of the time the solutions you find on the web don't apply at all to Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy8 Language file error
Did you change the file name back in the c:\Program Files\Legacy8\ folder? If you reinstalled per the instructions, then Legacy program added an updated Legacy8.LNG file and the renamed file is now cluttering up your _AppData folder. We don't recommend messing with *anything* in the Legacy folder in Program Files, or in *any* Program Files folder as far as that goes, unless someone who understands the program install directs you to. When you're working in Legacy, it's looking at the files in the Document\LegacyFamilyTree folder.

The solution to this error is in our Knowledge Base http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/ Just look up Legacy8.LNG in the search box.

Reinstall Legacy with the latest build from our website http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/downloadupdate.asp"; You can access the KB through our website at www.LegacyFamilyTree.com, if you go to Help Center > Troubleshooting Help or through the link Online Troubleshooting Help link in the Support section of the Legacy Home tab.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour
I wonder if it has anything to do with Windows settings? I know that our programmers don't have any control over the highlight color (sure wish they could make it lighter!). On both my Vista laptop and my Win7 desktop, the letters turn white when the row is highlighted. I tried several color schemes in Legacy and having the gender colored red for females and blue for males and again, it's always white under the highlight. My favorite color scheme is Brown Gradient. The only thing I can suggest is playing around with Legacy color schemes and Windows color schemes. Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Fri, Dec 20, 2013 at 4:47 PM, Kirsty M.

Re: [LegacyUG] Collaborative Database - Google Drive
The file you're working on in Legacy needs to be on the computer. Legacy can't find files on the internet. I have Dropbox which places a Dropbox folder on the computer, and work on the file in the folder, which then syncs with the file on the server. I can access my file that way on both my desktop and laptop and can share the folder with anyone I want to. Everyone needs to make sure they keep Legacy updated and they all have the same build number. Also we don't recommend that Legacy be used by more than one person at a time - it's not a multi-user program. Have you looked at IntelliShare for sharing research tasks? Details are in the Help file for Legacy and on the Tips page on our website.

Re: [LegacyUG] Words in date fields
You guys can certainly "Unknown" or any other designation but I'm just pointing out that when you enter anything but actual useful data in a field, it leaves a couple of the great features in Legacy unusable. I particularly love the "Missing Information" search to help me find what I need to search on. Of course, you could do a detailed search on each field for "unknown" but that seems like a lot of extra typing to me to enter that therm and then do the Detailed Search when you can do one search with the Missing Info tab.
