Tony I agree.
I ignore the Legacy instructions and install in Program Files. I have used Legacy for 8 years with copies of my data on TNG, a netbook and various PDAs and smartphones and never had problems with where data is stored. John Clifford -----Original Message----- From: Tony Rolfe [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 22 January 2012 00:16 To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Correct file path for media First, let me clarify my previous post. I install Legacy into the C:\Legacy folder and that's the last time I touch that folder. All data related to my family history research is in D:\Genealogy sub-folders. Having said that, I'm baffled (and always have been) as to why the original designers of Legacy chose to completely ignore the standard which says that executable code goes in one of the Program Files folders, Application data goes into the AppData folders and user data goes wherever the user wants to put it. I have well over 100 installed programs on my machine and every one of them follows that convention, including LTools and Gensmarts. Except Legacy. Only Legacy ignores this and only Legacy has issues with where data are stored. Please fix this in version 8.
