Tony,
Now you tell me. I too use simple filenames (such as pagexyz.jpg or
mary.jpg) in a complex tree of subdirectorys. I have long known better than
to push a button that says Do you want Lecacy to search for the file?
However, The button Options Customize Locations Test All Multimedia
Tony,
My apologies for misreading part of your post.
I don't know of any setting which gives Legacy permission to automatically
roam through my files looking for anything, only the button which one can
click when a picture file is missing - hence my confusion. In which case I

That's all well and good, except that Legacy isn't actually looking for
that file; it is looking for a file of that name. If there is a second
file with the same name anywhere in Legacy's known directories, then
Legacy is just as likely to find the other one and relink that.

You can add and remove shortcuts to favorites with windows explorer or

That's Favorites as in your browser, the OP was asking about Favorites

This is totally off-topic
If it's a problem for Legacy users, then it's on topic, particularly if there's
a possible easy fix. MD5 is heavy artillery and would require Legacy to
perform significant calculations - once when a file is first used as Legacy
media, then for every such file when mass actions like export or

I wish to construct a report that gives my son and his ancestry back

was in Jamestown in 1620. I would like it to list each generation's

Recently I have noticed that when I print a Family Group Sheet, it only
includes the first source listed for an event instead of listing them all. This
started a couple
of updates ago and I had hoped that the last update would fix this. Has
anyone else had this problem? It is really annoying.
In Options for Family Group Sheets, you do have Sources to be
printed checked, right? If not, try that and see if that works. All
of mine are printing.

Recently I have noticed that when I print a Family Group Sheet,
I can think of two options that might work; they are the closest I can come
with Legacy's standard report system.
(1) This option does not allow inclusion of Events. If you want your son's
surname line, all you need to do is print a vertical Lineage Report starting
with your son. Be sure
A simple solution, but one I would not personally use, is to add a letter to
each identical name. This makes them individual, i.e. Mary Smitha, Mary
Smithb etc.

I find it very hard to believe that there is no option to do a report
that shows the connections from my son back to his g, g, g, g, g,

there no equivalent in Legacy? If not, that would be at the top of my

Jane,
Try the Relationship Calculator under the Tools menu. Put your son on
the left side and the grandfather of interest on the right side. When
the result appears, mash the Print button at bottom and see what you can
do with that.
