Re: [LegacyUG] Location database

2013-12-04 Thread anairene

Those GeoDatabase files are where you state along several more sets
scattered over the computer.

BUT - they have no relevance to the GeoDatabase Legacy 8 is using.  They
appear useless.

Try this - move those files (they are just text) out of the folder say
to your desktop - then open legacy and use the geo database & it will
pull up data.  IF Legacy were using those text files, which you moved,
it would show blank.

PLEASE if I am wrong tell me!!

Thank you John.  That was not it, so I installed it again to find out.
It defaults to:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Legacy Family
Tree\GeoDB.

Don't ask me why I didn't do that in the first place. :-)

 All the locations seem to be there.  I've checked the folder containing
 the old V7 Geo database and the dates there are all earlier than 2010 -
 some as early as 2003.

 So, am I using the old files, or has v8 automagically installed the
 database somewhere else?

 Also, according to my database there are no counties in England.  They
 all appear as states/provinces - which is nonsense.

Joseph,

The Locations DB is wherever you set as the Installation folder when
you installed it.

The default location is in, I believe, C:\Program Data\Legacy Family Tree\

Re: [LegacyUG] Location database

2013-12-03 Thread JV Leavitt

I have a question about this that I haven't seen answered yet.  Where is
the new location database file, that I installed a few days ago hiding?
Before that, my v8 program was getting its location data okay, so I
supposed it found it in the old Geo folder under the v7 Legacy folder.
Out of curiosity, I changed the name of that to find out, and my
locations in v8 still appear.  The locations db file I have been using
in v7 was downloaded in 2011, and is over 400 MB in size.  So, were is
the file now, and what is its name, if I may ask?

Re: [LegacyUG] Location database

2013-12-03 Thread Ron Ferguson

Tony,

It's simply not British is it? 

I do not use the Geo database at all, so cannot really help, I do know,
however that there is now a unified one instead of the previous regional
DBs. I have always found it pretty useless outside the US.

I suspect that you are not quite correct in saying that there are no
counties in England, they are. of course, a subset of states/provinces.

Tony,

The content of the GeoDB has not really changed since it was first
introduced. It definitely did not change between L7.x and L8.

What I do not understand from your note is whether or not your L8
installation is able to use the GeoDB without re-installing it.

Go to Tools Ribbon / Location Database and see if it is working for you or not.

ALSO, were you using the GeoXXXCodes-alt.txt in L7.x? Those files you
had must be manually moved from your L7.x folder to the [My
Documents]\_App Data\Misc to use those customization in L8.

Jay,
If it is properly install on L8, if you open the Location Database on the
tools ribbon, you will see the form to add a location. Otherwise, it will
tell you to install based on the procedure I gave you a while
back.

PS: I am having a friend with a 600K person Family File do a Gedcom
export. He is running all SDD drive. After about 10 minutes, we figured
it was exporting at about 5000-7000 people a minute. His FF has some

Do not apply to L8!!

Check out the Help message on this topic. And the link to it on the

Basically, instead of having to merge 6 pieces, you can now download
an installer that has all of the pieces. OR you can tell Legacy8 where

Kathy,
Do you have your Deluxe code yet?
If so, you should find the link for the location database on your Tools

I described the process in an earlier email on this subject.
Ken's message in part showed that in response to this issue, he has

For users who don't have the GeoDB installed yet and they click on
the GeoDB tool within Legacy this is the new page they are taken to.


http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/GeoDBDownload.asp

The old page was still being liked to by Legacy v7 and earlier and
from a couple places on our site. Â  The links form our site now go
to the new page above.


http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/GeoDownload.asp

We have done away with all the Region files and importing.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Location Database Ver 8

Jay,

I am still using the GeoDB I installed in L5 or L6. 

L8 has changed how Legacy deals with the GeoDB. 

--> The instructions that are on 


http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/GeoDownload.asp 

Do not apply to L8!!

Check out the Help message on this topic. And the link to it on the
Tools menu which will help you install it the first time you need
it.

Basically, instead of having to merge 6 pieces, you can now download
an installer that has all of the pieces. OR you can tell Legacy8 where
you have it installed and it will get it from there.

I have not tested this for a while, so some details may be slightly
off.

john.

Shouldn't the install of Ver 8 asked me if I would want to move any

Or am I missing something?Ã

Ken,

If the GeoDB has been installed properly in Ver 8 , what should we look for
and where as far as what files would be used?

Thanks

Re: [LegacyUG] Location Database Ver 8

2013-11-28 Thread John B. Lisle



Jay,
You are correct. L8 install does not deal with the GeoDB. It is something
to install when you first need it while running L8.
--> An important concept that many of us testers had to learn,
sometimes the hard way, was not to over-think L8. L8 really does try to
make life simpler for users. Existing users who were used to the old way
Legacy worked become astonished how stuff they did before that was
complicated, now becomes easy. The GeoDB is one of those things.
One of the problems with GeoDB in old days is that is was so large that
folks did not use it or only downloaded pieces of it. Now, it is about
the same size as the Legacy Installer so why treat it so
carefully...
If you have the Deluxe version of L8 and do not see this, tell me what
you see ... I just did this on a new PC in about 3-5 minutes.
If you do not have GEoDB installed, go to the Tools ribbon and select the
Location DB. It will ask you if you want to install it, if so, it will
bring up a page on the Legacy web site where you can download the
installer for the DB. and give you some instructions.
Click on the link to download then when it is downloaded, run the
installer. Win7 will ask you if you want to change your PC and you will
of course say yes. If you are using Avast, like I am, Avast checks it out
to see it is safe and Windows will complain a bit with some alerts but
you can close them out without worry. Then an installer will open and you
will be asked where you want it installed. I just chose the default
location, but you can put it anywhere on your PC.
A few seconds later it is done.
Re-open Legacy and go back to the tools ribbon and click on the Location
database again. It will then spend a minute or 2 rebuilding the indices
in the database and then it is good to go.
You do this once and it is done for good as the location is in the
Registry.
The L8 USR settings are really radically different in format throughout
the program. I think it is a good thing for folks to reset their L7
experience into a new L8 experience.
--> I have said in previous notes that folks should not uninstall L7.5
until they have fully migrated to L8. I suggest that users run L7 and L8
together to clone their L7 experience to the L8 framework. BUT... they
might find that this is a good time to re-think their experience
completely.
Lastly, I do not think Gedcom export is any slower in L8. You may have
some local problem. I have exported a 100,000 person family file in the
time I wrote the last half of this note. One of the testers exported a
400K+ Person Gedcom a couple of times for TNG import without mentioning
any speed issue..
I await your follow-up report on Gedcom.

Re: [LegacyUG] Location Database Ver 8

John,

As I mentioned in the email.

The install of Ver 8 made no reference to the Geo Database.

(I installed from the download, and then copied my ver 7.5 dbf file into
the Data folder of Ver8 and opened it with Ver 8, which first converted it)

So I think Legacy is missing an important step for those of us upgrading,
that is how best to handle existing data from usr settings, geo database,
etc.

As I look further into my location database, it doesnt appear to be
connected to the existing Geo Database from Ver 7.

(How much slower are your gedcom exports in ver 8 than 7?? ---  I currently
export a new file for TNG every week and my first test is not good in that
it took over an hour, but more on that later in its own message)

Thanks

Re: [LegacyUG] Location Database Ver 8

2013-11-28 Thread John B. Lisle

Jay,
I am still using the GeoDB I installed in L5 or L6.
L8 has changed how Legacy deals with the GeoDB.
--> The instructions that are on

http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/GeoDownload.asp
Do not apply to L8!!
Check out the Help message on this topic. And the link to it on the Tools
menu which will help you install it the first time you need it.
Basically, instead of having to merge 6 pieces, you can now download an
installer that has all of the pieces. OR you can tell Legacy8 where you
have it installed and it will get it from there.
I have not tested this for a while, so some details may be slightly
off.
john.

Shouldn't the install of Ver 8 asked me if I would want to move any files

Or am I missing something?Â

[LegacyUG] Location Database Ver 8

2013-11-28 Thread Jay 1FamilyTree

I have upgraded from Ver 7 to Ver 8 and will probably eventually delete my
C:\Legacy\ folder where Ver 7 was installed.

But within that folder is my \Geo\   folder which holds my  Location
Database
or so I assuming as I did not get any question or indication when I
installed Ver 8 in regards to the Geo Location Database.

Shouldn't the install of Ver 8 asked me if I would want to move any files
/settings from Ver 7 to the new default locations?

Or am I missing something?


Jay
