I do not have a Media Gallery. Although this list has been dominated by those who have the time, willingness to be gammatesters as Legacy 8 gets rid of its numerous bugs, there are many Legacy users who use earlier versions, even versions as far back as 4.
I would hope that Legacy will continue to address the problems of version 7, especially since many of those were not fixed in version 8, and are, therefore, still needing to be addressed. What we are asking re pictures, is to be able to add info to the picture at the appropriate page, and have it carry over to the central area, be it called Picture Center or Media Gallery, or whatever. When we enter a location, individual, or event, that is when we enter the picture and info. One step, no copying. And then, in the central area, that info appears so that when we add the same picture to another location, individual, or event, we do not have to re-enter the info again. Simple, unconvoluted, no copying, no leaving the Location List, Individual Page, Marriage Page, etc., no having to use Media Gallery or Picture Center.
