Re: [LegacyUG] Hints - only getting FMP

2021-05-07 Thread Ian Thomas

Cathy – I think the suggestion in your last para (MH search) is probably my 
first call; I’ll then do the others except Refresh.


I noticed after posting (yesterday) that Legacy was crashing -  consistently – 
when I clicked Customize,  even after doing all the backup/repair etc. It was 
strange as I never have problems with Legacy, and there is huge amount of disk 
space, memory, etc.
That crash problem has ceased – for no reason I can fathom. I have not 
restarted Windows ..   but I should do so, anyway.

Ian,
MyHeritage hints are very slow since they've been throttled.
Make sure the refresh period is at the maximum 120 days. I'd also resist the 
temptation to refresh hints. This wipes hints for that hint supplier but put's 
everyone for whom hints have been requested in the hint queue again.
It would be better to delete the Hints file ~hdb.hdb or double 
click the 1 in front of the first quick bookmark to open the Hints Monitor and 
click Start over there which erases the file for you.

Alternatively, if you need quick hints from MyHeritage, use the Internet Search 
for MyHeritage. Search > Search Internet  or Internet > Search Internet. They 
go to the same place and you can choose your site. Note you can add your own 
internet searches here as well. The Help from it explains how to do that.

Check that you have the relevant box checked at Options 8.13.  Also
that you have a reasonable amount of time specified for refreshing the
search.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to Backup to Drop Box please

2021-05-07 Thread Cathy Pinner


Carolyn,
Yes. Unless you have told Dropbox to only keep that folder online, then 
it's available offline.
Simple use of Dropbox simply syncs some folders on your computer with 
the Dropbox cloud and with any other computer you have linked to that 
Dropbox account unless you have invoked Selective Sync in Dropbox.


Joyce, If you see "My Computer" you can expand it to see drives and then 
folders ...
You might want to watch YouTube videos on File management or File 
Explorer to understand these computer screens better.

create sub-folders in your Dropbox folder so you can organize the 
pictures in some way. I think Dropbox may already have a document 
sub-folder for your general files. Place the originals (or copies) in 
that folder.
