Byron, I've just investigated based on your instructions... The only paths I have are to the Legacy folder and its Data and Pictures folders. The pictures listed when I open the Picture Center are in the Pictures folder. Further, I "found" the Browse button at the top of the Picture Center and investigated the other two folders... nada. They both contain only some things that Legacy itself has put there. In other words, all of my linked photos that are displayed as being in the Pictures folder are indeed all only in the Pictures folder.
So, what does the "-" beside a picture in the picture list really mean? Again, the majority of my pictures have this "-" rather than a "+" beside them. A few have nothing, but that's true... they're not yet linked. Could it be that the "+" means the picture has been attached to an individual or event, while the "-" means it's been attached to a source or citation?? --Paula in Texas ----- Original Message ---- From: Byron <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, September 1, 2011 12:18:28 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Picture Center '-' in Picture List ? Paula To see a list of all folders that you have linked pictures into Legacy from, on the upper menu bar, go to <Options><Customize><Locations>. Under the 4 default locations shown for Picture/Sound/Video/Document files, if you click on the <View Current List of Multimedia Locations> button, it will show you a list of all locations on your computer that you have used to link in any multi-media from. Further more, if you then use the <Options><Print> sequence, you can then print out a hard copy for reference.

The current folder name is shown in the title bar of the window. You can change to a different folder by clicking the Browse button above the list. To choose a particular picture, highlight the name by clicking on it. It will display in the preview window to the right (If you have the Picture List tab selected). The U column to the left of the file names indicates whether or not each picture has been attached to someone in your family file already. The + means that picture in that folder has been attached to someone. The - means that file name has been attached to someone but from a different picture folder. For example, you may be looking at grandpa.bmp in the Legacy\Pictures folder but another file called grandpa.bmp in the Legacy\Reunion\Pictures folder is currently being used somewhere in your file. (You should be careful not to have different picture files with the same name located in different folders. It will surely confuse you at some point How do we go about finding out where else the program thinks this file resides? MOST of my pictures have the '-' in this column, but I'm looking at the path in the lower left corner and all the files are in the Pictures folder (which is my default under Customize). I don't think I have files elsewhere, surely not MOST of them... that's what I've been pondering today... locations and filenames. Could it be the '-' means something else? Or is there a way for me to run a "repair" to reset these correctly? <snip> Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
