Lavern, You might consider naming your files without any commas or periods in the file names. I would suggest you go further and not use any spaces either. I seem to remember receiving that recommendation here on the LUG list... something about making files for uploading to a website work better...?
For example, C:\Legacy\Pictures\USA\Ohio- Cuyahoga County - Cleveland\Cariota, Calogero 1920 U.S. Census.jpg becomes C:\Legacy\Pictures\USA\Ohio-Cuyahoga_County-Cleveland\Cariota_Calogero_1920_US_Census.jpg I also tend to include the page or sheet number in my filename, and surname. Guess I just haven't gone so far as to use the entire head-of-household in the file name. I do have several cases where multiple families are on the same page, even with different surnames. Just mentioning for your future consideration. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams ________________________________ From: Lavern Hall <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, September 28, 2011 12:10:31 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Missing multimedia files Hello everyone, I am still plugging away at entering census data, only this time my problems are with the 1920 photo. I captured the census photo from Amazon.com, just like Geoff showed us in the webinar and saved it on my C-drive as the head of the household, etc. I saved everything and was exiting Legacy when I got the "Missing Multimedia files..." screen. So, I went to Options > Customize> Locations. There I selected, "Make a list of all multimedia files" and a screen appeared with "One or more multimedia files are missing". I was asked if I would like to view the missing files. Ok. 1 1/2 pages later I had a full list of problems which I printed out. A final message stated that "all picture, sound, video, and document locations have been verified." I clicked OK. I went to HELP and read the "Checking Multimedia Locations" instructions. Being that I have done nothing with multimedia files before, I just followed the instructions:1) Test all Multimedia Paths, 2) selected the "Unlink unreferenced picture, sound..." option (thinking that Legacy would get rid of what I wasn't using), and 3) Make a LIst of All Multimedia Files. Result: problems not fixed. Here is a partial list of results: Missing Multimedia Files in: C:\Legacy\Data\Lavern Cariota Family.fdb Event Picture: Census: Calogera SEMINATORE [5] C:\Legacy\Pictures\USA\Ohio- Cuyahoga County - Cleveland\Cariota, Calogero 1920 U.S. Census.jpg Event Picture: Census: Nunzia CARIOTA [42] C:\Legacy\Pictures\USA\Ohio- Cuyahoga County - Cleveland\Cariota, Calogero 1920 U.S. Census.jpg Event Picture: Census: Giuseppe VINCIGUERRA [50] C:\Legacy\Pictures\USA\Ohio- Cuyahoga County - Cleveland\Cariota, Calogero 1920 U.S. Census.jpg Event Picture: Census: Catena CARIOTA [43] C:\Legacy\Pictures\USA\Ohio- Cuyahoga County - Cleveland\Cariota, Calogero 1920 U.S. Census.jpg Picture (Mary Cariota): Alternate Name: Source Detail: Calogera SEMINATORE [5] C:\Legacy\Pictures\USA\Ohio- Cuyahoga County\Cleveland\Cariota, Calogero - 1920 US Census.jpg I searched the archives and found suggestions for a similar problem. But simply put, I don't know what I'm doing! Here's my confustion. 1) On the individual's Assigned Sources list, I scrolled down to where the 1920 census line and clicked on it. The Master Source picture was there, but the Source Detail picture was not, so I pasted the photo there. (and thought that would solve the problem, but later when I ran another "missing list" the problem is still there! 2) I am not sure what needs to be written for the Captions. Is is the head of the houshold and 1920 census with the census date, or the individual person's name, 1920 census, and date? My apologies for the length of this query. Some direction would be greatly appreciated.
