Re: [LegacyUG] Snagit Software

2016-01-15 Thread Wm Voss
I could not agree more. All of the Faststone programs are excellent; I
have used Capture since its release and the image viewer/editor (which
is free)every dayfor 95% of my photo work. Snagit is, frankly,
overpriced for its capabilities.

My little project is a single familytree study of American smiths and
related craftsmen.Everyone listed is related in some way to everyone
else. There areimmigrants, of course, who began the trade in this
country, as well as a number who fled its borders for one reason or
another, but the majority are American beginning to end.

Re: [LegacyUG] Search/Find text anywhere

2014-05-29 Thread Wm Voss
It would probably be easiest to simply search your web pages with a text
editor. Search for "sources.htm#whatever the number is" (without quotes)
and it should give you the page it appears on. Note the RIN and go to it
in Legacy.

That said, your original is not very good quality, which exacerbates the
problem -- it looks like a scan of a half tone print and could stand
some photoshopping to remove the noise and blur the dot a bit.

Legacy Quick Look uses a very rudimentary image viewer (and always has).
Large images will generally show okay as the flaws in rendering are
hidden by the compressed size. The closer the original is to the on
screen rendered size, the worse the degradation. I have hundreds of tack
sharp images that look, in Quick Look, like second generation xerox
copies of old newspaper prints. There is nothing at all that can be
done; its all just on your screen -- the image will print correctly in
reports and show fine on web pages. Just don't bother with them in program.

Forgot that, but it is bad screen design, nonetheless. There is a mile
of empty real estate below the list for a tag all/ untag all button
--which is not, strictly speaking, an "option." But so it goes with V8,
as we both know.

You can download pdf2html from SourceForge (free, open source). Drop the
pdf on the .exe and it generates the pages. Theupside is that youhave
all the data in place; the bad is that the table structure is lost
because of the pdf coding, so you will have to do that yourself -- not
too odious if you have a good editor and some talent for regular
expression search and replace.

Its just a shame the report doesn't start with a blank slate and allow
you to choose what statisticsyou want instead of deselecting all the
stuff you don't.

Really? Nonsense. The request has been made since I started beta testing
in v2 and the excuse has always been exactly as Ron stated for ALL
formats of web page generation. One would think a decade would be long
enough to come up with some way to make the use of the vital event
options useful in this context.

Re: [LegacyUG] New scanner - Legacy Profile (Colour?)

2012-12-14 Thread Wm Voss
Always in color, especially for old photos and the like. It is easy to
edit down to gray scale if need be. Starting with gray scale, you can
easily lose/confuse detail, making retouching a lot harder. I generally
scan at 2400 dpi for important images, but then I have use of a canon
color copier that cost more than all the cars I've owned together.

Do to its size and complexity, I only post a stripped down version of my
silversmith project file:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~silversmiths/makers/silversmiths/

The front page and a few specialized tables are hand-built, but the
various indexes and individual pedigree pages are built in Legacy and
cleaned up with LTools. I do use a lot of imbedded html coding in my
Legacy file.

Re: [LegacyUG] English pound symbol

2012-07-04 Thread Wm Voss
So how do you add characters to the end? I can not. If I have a full
strip (or any portion thereof) and add a new character, it is added at
the head of the list -- as it has been since the ribbon function was
added to Legacy nearly a decade ago. I have just tried this in v5, v6,
v7, beta and gp. It works the same every time: each new character, as
stated, bumps off the last in line.

This does not, from the OP's latest post, appear to be the issue, however.

That is not how it works, Brian. You can continue to add characters, but
each new one will push the oldest one off the list. If the pound symbol
is the last entered and does not show, then it is broken.

Who mentioned "Names"? It has been available along with all the basic

Re: [LegacyUG] Web pages for locations

2012-04-25 Thread Wm Voss
Okay, got it. Good luck. You are describing an entirely new and quite
sophisticated program. I doubt, given the manner in which Legacy stores
and structures its data, that it could work with an existing family
file. It might be done, but would require a huge amount of additional
manual work to populate and format the basic pages. Not a chance it
could be done within Legacy -- it can't handle a simple internal
hyperlink to another individual and that's been asked for since version 2.

Re: [LegacyUG] Web pages for locations

2012-04-25 Thread Wm Voss
I am afraid I do not understand what you want. An index of all
locations, with a step down to all instances when it is mentioned? I
have a basic version of silversmiths sorted by location, based on their
working and partnership events:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~silversmiths/makers/SmithsByState_mod.htm

Is this what you were thinking of? If so, it can be done with LTools,
Excel, and a good text editor. You will also need a good knowledge of
html coding and several days free time. And this is for a simple segment
of the whole file based on a selective criteria. To do the whole file
for all in\stances would be a daunting task.

Ron may be right that this would be better achieved by TNG or somesuch.
I don't know, as I find such programs a frustrating and unfulfiling dance.

They only show if the picture in question is used by more than one
person -- or is that the case here?

Re: [LegacyUG] Web page creation performance

Just delete the directory first, instead of all the file contained

Re: [LegacyUG] Flip-Pal scanner stitched image question

2012-02-11 Thread Wm Voss
If you are using MS Office Picture Manager, don't; it is nearly
worthless. Download and install IrfanView or, my personal choice,
Faststone Image Viewer. Both are free and will give all the editing
capability you will need.

Ifg you are building pedigree pages, spend the meager money and get a

And many of us find the program perfectly useless for our particular

I did the same -- file not found, so some of us got it and some of us
didn't.

Thinking it might be a create on first use, I made some changes to
various locations, replacing the default preposition with gibberish,
which work fine, but no lst file was created.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy searching

2011-08-20 Thread Wm Voss
Brian,
Neither of those points work as you state in the latest version of v7.
The dob order is maintained correctly with or without AKAs in use;
christening dates are used when birth dates are missing.

I am I to assume this should be reported as a bug on the beta board?

You can, but it will bot be visually satisfying if your intent is
anything past your own desktop use.

Change Marriage Licenseto Marriage License[[1]] (or create new)
Change Marriage Ceremonyto Marriage Ceremony[[2]](or create new)

Sort events by date

Run Chronology and they should appear in the order desired, but they
will always show the (supposedly) invisibility brackets[[]]. If anyone
has a better idea, I'd like to hear it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Dictation question

2011-06-24 Thread Wm Voss
It works fine in text fields -- that is the text ends up where you want
it. The quality, however, is far from acceptable. Even with a good
microphone, clear monotone speech, and quite a bit of practice, the
results still require enough re-editing to make it more time consuming
than just typing away. A typical half-baked Microsoft OS gadget.

Just remember that opening an individual and hitting save -- having done
absolutely nothing -- counts as an update in Legacy. Your modified list
may run many, many more folks than have actually been modified in any
way. You can only exit the screen with "cancel" which makes no sense, of
course, since you may have done nothing to cancel. It is a sloppy bit of
design that has been around since version 1.

Re: [LegacyUG] Web pages

2011-06-17 Thread Wm Voss
I'm not sure what "this" you mean -- the whole process, the page
building, or the upload?

At any rate, I routinely build pedigree pages for around 15,000 folks
out of my full 200k file. I do a full run, then 8 stripped down runs
that are just for creating tag specific indexes. The whole takes about
half an hour. Manual tweaks and Ltools takes another 30 minutes or so. I
use Beyond Compare (excellent program) to extract only those files that
have changed since the last build (usually around 150 html and image
files) and upload them, which takes about 10 minutes on a dsl line to
Rootsweb. If I run up everything, it takes around 4 hours.

I have been a typographer for 40 years and the only people I ever met
who used double spaces between words or after colons were badly trained
copy typists. And it has, of course, nothing at all to do with grammar,
but stylistic conventions, for better or worse.

Which was indeed suggested when the topic was raised on the beta list.
We now have the solution as presented, which at least allows those of us
who have gone beyond Legacy's simple coding choices to see what we have
actually done and not yet done on an individual screen. Such is life and
we are lucky for it. In the mean time, the boys have gone back to their
lair and resumed work on the program's next incarnation.

As for ponies, I choose to remain with v5.

Re: [LegacyUG] Bold text not showing bold

2011-04-02 Thread Wm Voss
I have come to this thread rather late.

Html coding (of whatever kind, Legacy or non-Legacy) shows in the D/P/N
column in the Events box on the Individual screen. The removal of this
visual record is what prompted my request that it be re-instated. For
the vast majority of users, this should not be an issue. If they have
some custom event and would like the Description field to be italic, for
example, they can simply add that to the Sentence definition, overriding
it when not applicable. No coding will appear.

If you open an Event, coding of whatever kind (if not part of the
Sentence Definition) shows in the Event/Description/Date/Location boxes
and has since inception. Legacy standard coding (italic, bold, etc) now
does not appear in the Notes; non-Legacy coding, ie a manually coded
internal or external hyperlink or the like, does.I am not quite seeing
how this might confuse someone.

I have no idea what an "ordinary" user might look like or desire, but I
want to see exactly what is entered, not some pretty approximation.

in the past, but has never been implemented. It is available in other
programs -- Brother's Keeper, comes to mind -- butnot in Legacy.

I have used Legacy from its inception and continue to use, though a beta
tester, version 5 for my own research. There is no such option under
Tools>Merge nor have I ever seen that function offered in Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy websites

2011-01-08 Thread Wm Voss
I have since version 2, using the pedigree format. Because of the Legacy
imposed limitations of 30,000 files per directory, I can only make a
build of selected groups, rather than the entire family tree, which
allows making occupation specific indexes. Builds are further modified
using Dennis Kowallek's excellent LTools
(http://zippersoftware.com/ltools/index.htm). I also make use of
extensive html coding within event notes.

Re: [LegacyUG] Web page fonts

  You can't -- Legacy has very meager design controls. If you want such
changes, you will have edit the pages manually; with practice and a good
text editor, you can do all the files globally in a few minutes. It is
also one of the many things that LTools can take care of.

Just be thankful your site isn't seen a primary data source for ebay
sellers of American silver. I've had whole pages copied into auctions --
though I did have fun with the last one: he kept all the picture links

entirely different than what he expected his bidders to see. . .

Well, in some way Legacy believes you do have one attached to William
and not to Susan. The images, as others have pointed out, are coded as
standard event pictures in your web page. They have nothing to do with
the sources at all.

Do you have a picture attached to the William Burley census event -- not
to the source, but to the event itself?
Do you have a picture attached to the Susan Ellen census event -- not to

Exactly -- but which is it? 127, 129, 141, 143, 144, 157, or 160? There
is no mouse-over, there is no keystroke description. Even the MS map,
considered a very base level tool, provides that information. You can't
even click a character and have it added to your text, only to the
pointless ribbon, so you are constantly having to redo selections.

And I don't want to think how long we will have to wait for
comprehension of OTF.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Family Tree Website

2010-06-19 Thread Wm Voss
I did not say that Legacy could not produce a given name/surname list;
that is quite easily done using the name list print function and
selecting to include rin/givenname/surname as columns and saving as a
cvs file. Building html given name sorted index pages in Legacy, on the
other hand, is not an option, but it can be done (tediously) with the
resulting file and a descent text editor.

I do not see that GEDxlate gets you any closer.

Re: [LegacyUG] Pop up boxes squished

2010-02-15 Thread Wm Voss
The pop-up boxes for children are of a set width, ie at 1/4 screen size,
they still remain the same size as if at full screen. The parent
pop-ups, however, contract according to the screen width -- at 1/4
screen the text lines of long names and locations run off the  box. Just
some bad coding that needs attention.

X advertised on 2 Dec 1820
X worked as a silversmith from 1790 to 1834

is a non-match when comparing events Advertised and Working

But perhaps this should be taken off LUG.

Re: [LegacyUG] New analysis program (event matcher)

2010-01-12 Thread Wm Voss
Very handy app; thank  you. Needs a few things, however:

Save to file -- my first run had 273 results, too many to  fiddle with
on paper and you haven't any printer select or print to file option. It
would also be nice to generate a csv file (but that can be done simply
enough with a save to file and basic editing).

Need all nine tags -- I have 8 permanently assigned in my occupation
study and I would want to match across each of them

It also insisted that my Legacy folder was on my c drive, so I had to
select the file path three times before it believed me.

But quibble, quibble, quibble; well done.

Re: [LegacyUG] Bullets and numbers for pedigree web page events

2010-01-11 Thread Wm Voss
Sorry.
In a good text editor, you can use the "Replace in Files" function to
search for any occurrence of X and replace it with Z (in this case •
(alt 0149) with nothing) across a whole group of files at once. This has
to be done with care and forethought -- you can accidentally alter
things in a bad way very quickly and such replacements are not
undo-able. In this case, you have to make sure the bullets ONLY appear
in the event list, because they will be replace anywhere found, hence
the check that the vital (b/c/d/b) events do not use them.

I do this every build I make, changing the poor font defaults in Legacy
with those I prefer, etc.

Only by doing a global search and replace in a good text editor like
UltraEdit. The b/c/d/b events aren't affected because they use http list
