My best guess is that the culprit is 3). After your recent crisis it sounds like you moved your primary database to a different location. Your files could have become unlinked at that point but you're only discovering it now. . JL http://www.jgen.ws/jlog On 7/7/2010 4:07 PM, JLB wrote

I wouldn't think closing and re-opening Legacy would make any difference but it's an easy enough thing to try without asking. You can take a look at your File-Paths under Options/Customize/Locations and see if, in fact, you're linking up to the right place. Legacy can be funny with tiff's where t

The only reasons I can think that the images won't automatically update is that: 1) They have different file-names. 2) They are being saved in a different file format. 3) They are being saved to different locations. . JL http://www.jgen.ws/jlog On 7/7/2010 3:12 PM, Maureen Lake wrote: > Good a

I would say you'd also have to consider where you're going to keep your source documents. How do you know how to find them if they aren't connected in some way to Legacy.

Nothing is 'necessary' - it's all by choice. If you're attaching the same census info to several individuals you can copy and past the Event as well as the supporting source documentation and that can include the image. Whether you also attach the image to the Event itself is an option but it's not

What you're dealing with there is what's called IPTC info which is a standard for annotating photos with standard fields. There actually is no such thing as an IPTC field called "Description". Legacy is simply out of whack with the standard so I don't think there's any way to do what you're asking.
