Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing photographs
You can remove Picasa without losing any photographs. They work with any of your photos anywhere on your computer, but only show and organize them, never delete except at your command.

RE: [LegacyUG] Sourcing photographs
None of the programs, that I know about, move your photos around or change anything unless you command them to do so. Photoshop is expensive, Paint Shop less so, Breezebrowser still less and Irfanvue and Picasa free. Irfanvue is more direct and immediately learnable than Picasa.

But I DO have an opinion about the best way to provide source info for a photograph; put the source information in the image metadata. Metadata is the data about the data image; the text information that accompanies each image, JPEG or whatever. The metadata allows us to attach everything from our street address to the subject of the photo to the technical info about the photograph … to the source of the photo. I believe any useful information associated with an image has a place somewhere in the metadata. Most modern image processing or image viewing programs allow access to the metadata, yet too few of us use this important feature of digital imaging … myself included. I know I should type the stuff into the appropriate fields but too often I grow bored and move on to more exciting things. Doesn't matter if you follow the approach of Elizabeth Shown Mills or not; just put something in the metadata that will allow someone else to know where you found the image (even if it is from your personal collection of photographs). Bottom line; put sourcing in the metadata no matter what other sourcing you may do !!!

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy not syncing in Dropbox
I don't use Dropbox for Legacy, but I do use it for Zoot XT, an information processor. The solution there is to set up a dummy folder on each computer for Zoot to save to as well as it's own folder databases. Then the dummy folder is put on Dropbox. What is saved to Zoot is smart foldered to the dummy. Dropbox syncs then only with the dummy folder, affecting the live Zoot folders/databases only after syncing is complete. Zoot XT is a set of very flexible smart databases on a stable engine Legacy developers might take a look at. My Legacy has only about 1400 records so easy to back up when doing regular drive backups, but for Bob's or other's much larger number of records it would be much faster and safer to backup just Legacy to Dropbox and forget syncing.

What you can do reliably is to place the zipped backup files in the cloud drive and then restore the file as needed on another computer from the cloud storage. Using the live file on a cloud device requires a method to insure that the file has been sync'ed completely before accessing it. With a zip file, it will not open unless it is intact so a partial zip file should not open. Side benefit is that the zipped files will be smaller than the live database and the other associated files that Legacy uses. I agree with other comments that the problem is not with differences between Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8. I regularly use my Legacy data on all those Windows versions without any problems and move the database by placing the zip backup files in Google Drive.

This is a problem common to many of us, whatever the source. So I'll try to be helpful and not just suggest that it is somehow your fault, Stanley. Don't try any brute force uninstalls. You'll only leave junk in your registry. You need that install.log, so install Legacy 8 again. Then instead of relying on the uninstall in the control panel, go to the Legacy 8 program file probably in C:\program files (86)\Legacy 8 and click on unwise.exe. It should uninstall at that point.

Re: [LegacyUG] where to store images
That's a great help, Wes, many thanks. Pres --- Sorry about the confusion with the path names. Apparently my tabbing didn't work as I thought it would. The directory structure is \Genealogy \Genealogy\Documents\ \Genealogy\Documents\FamilyName\ \Genealogy\Documents\FamilyName\FirstName (BirthYear) - if needed. The longest pathname would be 45 characters if I can count right. The max is supposed to be 256. Doing this allows me to keep all relevant documents and photos in a way that I can instantly find them. That last line is the longest you will have. For my own reasons, I duplicate the structure for Legacy use. I could simply point to the Genealogy folder in Legacy, but I keep a lot of documents that do not necessarily need to be used as source material. They are there to provide additional historical information. Since I was a history major in college, I tend to keep things that others might find insignificant for their purpose. In the Legacy PHOTO structure, I only keep the WEB sized JPG's of my photo's. For the most part, I scan a photo to a TIFF file. This is in the \Genealogy\Photo\ area. I then use Photoshop Elements to add info to the IPTC data. This is just like writing on the back of a picture. I then save this twice. Once as the standard TIFF file, then once with a -EDIT after the name. The first file is never, ever, touched. The second file is used for any editing that is needed and saved as a final TIFF file. Once all that is done, I will save it as JPG. This file is still rather large but will be OK to email to someone else. I will then crop the photo to a head shot or something similar and SAVE for WEB. This allows me to take a 1.2 mb file and reduce it to about 350-450 k. This is what gets stored in the Legacy photo file and, eventually, to the web. For my backups, I use COBIAN to backup both the Genealogy Directory and the Legacy directory, Each goes to a different external hard drive. Once a week, I take an image copy of those hard drives. Of course, I do a standard backup of my database every time I shut down Legacy. Other people have vastly different ways of doing things. This is just the scheme I worked out years ago when God was a child and I was still in knee pants. My first software package was Brothers Keeper on a DOS machine with 2 floppy drives. I hope this helps with your thinking. There are as many ways to organize as there are people. In the end, it is what works for you that really matters. Oh, if you haven't guessed, I'm a belt and suspenders guy. Wes --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

I do a backup of the working database every time I close legacy. This goes to Dropbox. Wes --- I'm just setting up a media directory and can't imagine the amount of time it must take to find a .jpg in one large folder, but equally can't imagine how you avoid exceeding path limits with sub-folders on the one hand or work with folders for each family in one long directory of peer folders. Wes, are those peer folders or are the FamilyNamefolders you list child or sub-folders under LegacyData? They must be peer folders or the paths would be too long but sounds like that would be a long directory with all the FamilyNames you must have and take a long time scrolling to file one or another set. And why not keep the \Geneology originals in name subfolders on your main hard drive or an external one if you don't have the space on a hard drive--both backed up just as you do now.

Like the author, I use both Onenote and Evernote. I do find Onenote to be a far superior program as I am more interested in organizing than I am in clipping. There is another well-know genealogy program who's text editor accepts notes from Onenote without any issues. They have an option to strip all formatting from pasted text. Since Legacy is by far a superior program, I have no doubt that the Legacy programmers could redo their text editor to work the same way. In my opinion, Onenote is the best note organizing program and Legacy is the best genealogy program. I prefer using the best, not the second best so I am hoping that the Legacy folks can fix this issue.

RE: [LegacyUG] Single Surname Study II
Many thanks to Kurt, Bob, Christine and Cheryl for all the pointers. I'll have to look into tags, avoid gedcoms and try other ideas here, but it looks a little more possible now. Appreciate the prompt and thoughful replies. - Prescott Smith graysc...@gmail.com From: Bob Austen [rgaus...@telus.net] Sent: Tuesday, 25 February, 2014 11:33 PM To: legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Single Surname Study II I hope you don't mind my joining this thread. Though not really a one name study, I have a reasonably large file and have not done a 'merge' of a new file for some time now, for the very reason that you have found. A cousin and I work together on our tree and we regularly exchange complete updated files. We tag each new addition or change then, when I receive the updated file, I do not try to merge it, but look for the tagged names and enter the new information. I also receive other files/trees in other formats. This is my method for merging, remembering that everyone finds their own style. 1. Create a new Legacy file from the updated gedcom and tag everyone. (In my file exchange with my cousin the names are already tagged.) This also allows me to clean up the file or edit it before merging. 2. Open your main file in Legacy and the new file using Split Screen (I have them side by side) 3. Look for common names then copy the updated/new information to the main file. I do this one by one, family by family, or the complete descendant line if I have a common person. You can also drag the person/family/descendant line to the main file. 4. Untag those copied/merged. This can be done in the new file just prior to the copy/merge to save you from untagging in both files. If you have the tag showing in your index it is easy to look to see which are not yet merged. 5. Continue until you have no more names tagged in your new file. You can stop/start, compare names/lines side by side, at any time and much easier than the Legacy merge window. This allows me to update tags that I use for certain lines and I can also set the privacy settings, if needed, as I go. I primarily copy descendant lines as there is less likelihood of another connection. I will scan through the descendants and may compare the names to my main file before the merge. If I have ancestors of, say, a new wife, I will be brave and copy her ancestors in the same fashion. My file also has many names that are the same. I have not used the 'Merge Duplicates' feature for a few years, perhaps it has matured to where it is more reliable. I do find that I still end up with some duplicates, or are they there from earlier work? I feel my work is too valuable to mess up by merging a bunch of incorrect, though common, names. Legacy's new feature in V8 of showing possible duplicates after entering a new person is very welcomed, but I do get a lot that are not really duplicates. Hope this will give you some new ideas.

This number is ancestry’s way of linking an individual’s event in an ancestry family tree to the source record in ancestry.com’s databases. The “7884” represents the particular database (in this case the 1910 United States Federal Census) and the number after the :: represents the individual record within that database. When you export a gedcom from ancestry.com the record will look something like this: 1 RESI 2 DATE 1963 2 PLAC Mooroopna North, Victoria, Australia 2 SOUR @S-411220237@ 3 _APID 1,1207::90856601 When you then import that record into Legacy, Legacy places the _APID number into the FilingRef field in the tblSX (Source Detail) table which is then displayed as theFile ID in the Source Detail Screen. Interestingly, and usefully (at least for me), if you export a gedcom file from Legacy which contains these _APID numbers in the FilingRef field, and then import that gedcom (after some minimal and simple manual editing) into a family tree in ancestry.com, ancestry will automatically re-establish the links to the relevant source database and individual record.

It can be closed only by the X in the tray preview in Win 7. Version 366. The rest of the program seems working OK until I click on the Preliminary Survey. It does it on another file as well, yet I'm sure I got past this point with an earlier version and had a number of interesting sources to look at.

No, I haven't. New to Legacy but remember other program's file repairs that ended badly. There isn't much to these two files--no sources, no media. Other than file conversion to L8 from L7, there hasn't yet been much editing or anything else. Why don't you see a problem in this behavior?

Re: [LegacyUG] Research Freezes
Alt - tab pops up so Notepad items I have in the tray but were not behind the program. I just start the program, go to Research and first click I make locks it up. This is after I have put it through File check, Repair, list and compact with nothing in the log or any complaints other than a half-dozen sentence changes in Events. I've used Fox Pro and Visual Fox Pro and DB3 databases and never had to check, repair those unless major corruption had occurred and then you were pretty much out of luck anyway. But I'll take your word for Access and I'll check with support. Thank you. From: Cathy Pinner [genea...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, December 20, 2013 12:09 AM To: legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Research Freezes There is a problem with anything causing a freeze. I haven't seen this freezing myself and I think that's what Jay is saying - they didn't see the freeze either. The program can sometimes appear to freeze because a secondary window has opened behind instead of in front of the primary window. Using Alt + Tab to cycle through open programs stopping when you get back to Legacy can cure this as the hidden window comes to the front. Re File Maintenance in Legacy. The Legacy database is a Microsoft Access database. These databases need regular maintenance. You do that from the File Ribbon - File Maintenance - Check/Repair. You need to do it regularly or you will have problems. It's not the cure for all ills but it cures a lot. For this sort of freezing issue if Alt + Tab doesn't solve it are probably best taken direct to Support. Cathy At 01:46 PM 20/12/2013, you wrote: No, I haven't.

Re: [LegacyUG] TRUST REGAINED YET?
When I move to research, everything is fine--I can go back to any other view, etc--but the moment I click on #1 Timeline, the program freezes and I can only exit by clicking on the x in Win 7's tray preview. It may be that there is little to make a timeline of but a number of sources are recorded for preview and research on the main Research window. Yet on an earlier version I was able to use this and reveal the suggested sources. I'm now using 366. Other things seem to be working fine. Anyone experiencing this?

It's not about where 7.5 and 8 install their files. 7.5 has a known problem. When you hit uninstall on the Control Panel, it hangs.

[LegacyUG] Organizing Data Files
The sub-directory Data under Legacy Family Tree, wherever you keep it, gets pretty messy with multiple trees. Anyone have a good way to keep down the confusion? I'd like to put all the files for each tree in a Data sub-folder, but the location option has to be set to just one sub-folder: Legacy Family Tree\Data.

Sherry, OK, the solution was to get a different richtx32.ocx, put that in system32 and syswow64 and register both (perhaps you only need one if you're running Win7, 32 bit; L8 is 32 bit but runs in my 64 bit Win 7.

Re: [LegacyUG] Black On Black
If I could get it to white type on black that would be fine, but 10.1 doesn't seem to have a provision for changing the Notes font color. I have re-installed 7.5 and verified that Richtx32.ocx is in Windows\system32 and registered. I haven't re-installed 8 but got positive responses on registering richtx32.ocx in Windows\systerm32 and syswow64. The error message on clicking Notes in 8 is: Richtx32Invalid Property Value so it must have something to do with Richtx32.ocx but doesn't value suggest it is something set in the Registry?

Don, You might try what worked before for 7 (as quoted just below) and if it does, then re-install and uninstall 8 by the same method. Prescott Smith presku...@yahoo.com = That did it. I reinstalled, the install.log was there but still wouldn't work thru control panel. So I reinstalled, the install.log was there. But the UNWISE worked perfectly. Thanks for the quick response. I owe you one! Dave Pointer -- Not sure this will apply to your situation, but I had similar trouble with 7.5. and this might work. Look in the program files for Install.log. If it's not there, try re-installing 7.5 once more. Check again to see if install.log is among the program files. You need this to get it uninstalled and each time you uninstall it is deleted. Now see if you can use Control Panel to uninstall, if it's there. If this uninstall doesn't work; re-install again to get an install.log, then go into the program and click on Unwise.exe. If you get options then to do an Auto or Custom uninstall, choose custom. You'll get various options to uninstall. If you hit all of them, you'll lose your unlocking number if it is Deluxe and have to get it back from Legacy if you want to use 7.5 again.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8 Issues
Much against my will, I'm probably going to follow this for Data, if not for media, but I would like to propose that hereafter all user data be allowed to be put somewhere else besides the Microsoft categories. Doesn't anyone else resent the patronizing, over-possessive My Documents and My Pictures? It makes you want to throw up to begin with and then the contempt it shows for Windows users seals the deal.It is easy enough to copy over the necessary folder and sub-folders to a dedicated custom directory without all the other MS trash in it.

From: Leon Chapman [chap...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2013 01:30 PM To: legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8 Issues Margaret: Legacy 8 has been updated to install the software in the more traditional areas of Windows which provided enhanced security. The older version 7.5 installed at the root level of drive C at C:\Legacy\ and this by-passed the normal security built into Windows. I recommend you use the latest L8 standard for installing and saving all your new files. Legacy 8 installs its program files in C:\Program Files (x86)\ which is where they should be installed. You should not mess with any of these files in this location. The Legacy 8 user data have been moved to: C:/Users/myname/documents/Legacyfamilytree/ There are subfolders under this directory that you should use: 1. \_AppData\ -- this is where your usr settings and Books and iSearch, etc settings are stored 2. \Data\ -- This is where you should keep your Legacy 8 data files (Carter.fdb, etc) 3. \Media\ -- This is where all your pictures, pdfs, videos, etc should be placed (Note: In Legacy 7, this folder was called \Pictures\) The other 2 folders, Legacy FS and LegacyCharting are for those applications within Legacy. The only real folders you need to worry about are: 1. C:/Users/myname/documents/Legacyfamilytree/Data/ 2. C:/Users/myname/documents/Legacyfamilytree/Media/ I recommend you copy (and I mean COPY and not MOVE) your old Legacy 7 data files from: C:\Legacy\Data to the new folder: C:\Users\myname\documents\Legacyfamilytree\Data\ I recommend you copy (and I mean COPY and not MOVE) your old Legacy 7 picture files from: C:\Legacy\Pictures to the new folder: C:\Users\myname\documents\Legacyfamilytree\Media\ Note: Copy you the Legacy 7 files so you retain the original Legacy 7 files in their original location. This will allow you to run both Legacy 7 and 8 on your computer and it sort of provides a backup of your Legacy 7 original files. Once you open a Legacy 7 database in Legacy 8, you cannot go back to Legacy 7, unless you use a GEDCOM format. After you have copied your Legacy 7 database files and pictures to the new Legacy 8 locations, then open Legacy 8 and do a File, Open, and browse to the file and open the Carter.fdb, in your case. It will convert your database to the new Legacy 8 format. Good luck. Leon Chapman ___ Leon Chapman chap...@gmail.com - --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Now, I purchased Legacy 8 and wanted to uninstall Legacy 7.5. But it doesn't appear in the programs listed in control panel so I can't uninstall. So I tried to install 7.5 over top of it. It then appears in the control panel so I can uninstall. But after uninstalling, the Legacy 7.5 program icon is still there and works fine when clicked. Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions?

Re: [LegacyUG] E mail test and customer number
The Help File for 7.5 does very little to explain how to use Family Search with or without Legacy 7.5. You learn nothing about the consequences of matching, registering/contributing your tree, avoiding fostering duplicates, the detailed procedures for using it from Legacy, the rationale and pitfalls of the whole thing. Sorry to complain but these are issues. Not sure why we had lesser priority than new buyers but glad to know we are still somewhere in the queue. From: Sherry/Support [she...@legacyfamilytree.com] Sent: Sunday, December 01, 2013 06:26 PM To: legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] E mail test and customer number You can buy the download with or without the PDF manual, or the CD with or without the print manual and either print or PDF by itself. Of course the Help file always comes with the program and is more comprehensive and up-to-date than the printed manual. It's been years since I've purchased a program that came with a manual - usually it only comes with a help file.

RE: [LegacyUG] 7.5 Notes Unusable, Are 8's?
Answer is no. In L8 Standard, using the sample database, when I go to open the notes for an individual, I now get the message: Richtx.Invalid Property Value. I have to click OK twice to open the Notes database. This step didn't happen in 7.5, but the result is the same. The General Notes field is black screen, black fonts. Same with Research Notes. Medical has fields for Cause of Death, etc in white background, but the larger field below is black. Haven't checked in L8 but in L7.5, the Notes fields are black in all views where this is a feature. Anybody else have this or know what might be causing it. They gave up in Tech Support for 7.5 but indicated it might be a known problem with Nvidia graphic adapters. but the usual solution for this didn't work.
