2017-04-29 Thread Cathy Pinner 

Madeleine,
It seems in this case it would be quicker to relink them yourself by 
going to the gallery where they are linked. This information is on the 
missing media list.
When you click on the icons for the missing media, you get the choice to 
use the Media Relinker or to find them yourself.
You may want to copy them out of your Family Tree Maker Media folder and 
link to them in a sub-folder of your Legacy Media.

The Relinker will search the entire drive to find your picture files.
When complete, you can choose to have them copied into the Legacy

The Family Tree Maker file could be an issue — that sounds like a
database and not a picture file. Legacy will only link picture files
with an extension of JPEG, PNG & document files like PDF, Word.
Normally, you would only link picture files. So, I am not sure what

Madeleine;

When using the Relinker, you just specify the Drive(s) you want to search 
(e.g., C:, D:).  Normally, you would just select the C: drive.  The Relinker 
will search the entire drive to find your picture files.  When complete, you 
can choose to have them copied into the Legacy default Media file location.  
You cannot specify a folder to search in the Relinker, just a Drive.

The Family Tree Maker file could be an issue — that sounds like a database and 
not a picture file.  Legacy will only link picture files with an extension of 
JPEG, PNG & document files like PDF, Word.  Normally, you would only link 
picture files.  So, I am not sure what you mean by FTM file??

[LegacyUG] Media Relink

2017-04-29 Thread Madeleine E. Mitchell 
I have just updated  to Legacy 9.  I have 16 media files which need to 
be relinked.  I know which file they are in.  How do I tell the 
Re-linker what file to look in?  It does not seem to allow for that 
situation.  I have printed out the missing files and know who they are 
associated with, but there must be some easy way to tell the relinker 
what file on my computer to look in.  I have "gathered" files several 
times and the relinker is missing the file which is a Family Tree Maker 
file.
