Re: [LegacyUG] Media Files - unlinked, but where do I find the item ?

2019-01-20 Thread Dave Naylor 

Hello Chris,

If all else fails...  one trick I've used for a few things like this is 
to generate a gedcom of your database.  Obviously for this time you need 
to include graphic links.  Then open the gedcom with a text editor and 
do a Search for part of the filename.  The line with that filename will 
begin with a number, and the lines immediately above it with a lower 
number will indicate the item that's linked to the filename.


This trick also comes in handy when searching for specific text that you 
know exists somewhere in a Legacy file.


Hope this helps.

Cheers! -- Dave N.

I have tried the Media Gallery and every individual event, all to no

the Event for this the correct file - but cannot find the "error" file

Does anyone have a method they use in circumstances like this to resolve 
the issue ?


While making the latest batch of changes I renamed/moved three 
duplicated files and found and fixed the other 2 within seconds !!


Thanks in advance,

The file is linked to one of the sources you have for Joseph Edgar 
Swann, it is not linked directly to him so you will not find it in his 
media Gallery. Open his attached sources and you will find the missing 
media linked to one of those. Hopefully the source names will give you 
the clue as to which one has the missing media.

It sounds like what I just went through. I can't remember the number of the
error message that I was getting. When I looked it up, it said that last
resort is to remove the program and re-install it. I eventually did, and no
longer get that pesky message :-)

Re: [LegacyUG] Media Files - unlinked, but where do I find the item ?

2019-01-20 Thread Chris Hill 

Hi Chris

Given that you know the file name that Legacy thinks it - London 
England Electoral Registers 18471965(50).jpg - you now need to find out 
where it is.


Normally with those it is because I have renamed the file but left 
it the the same folder. That gives we a couple of options. From the 
Media error dialog, you can just do a manual search, starting in the 
same folder, but obviously you wander around until you find it.


Not easy, so it would be better to go outside of Legacy and let 
Windows look for it. Start searching anywhere in the SWANN Media folder 
and downwards, and try to use a match key for part of it. You could also 
put a date range on the search to limit when it was last modified.


Hopefully, you have slightly changed it or just moved it elsewhere. 
Also, have a look in the Recycle Bin in case you deleted it.


Regards

Chris

All,

I'm trying to sort out the mess I have created over the years with media files
