Christine,
It would be worth your while investigating the use of
picture gallery clipboard. The picture gallery is really a link
gallery , Legacy is just storing a link to the image file not the
image itself. If you have taken the trouble to set up an image for a
source citation , maybe added a description , date and notes , you
don't want to keep repeating that same manual process.
The picture gallery clipboard will help you. In your source citation
picture gallery , right click on the icon you wish to copy and you get
a dropdown list of options. Copy will copy that one item, Copy all
will copy that entire picture gallery ( if you have multiple pictures
) , Copy Append is useful if you want to copy pictures from several
different galleries. When you have finished the copy just go to the
target gallery, for example the individual or a particular event
picture gallery and then right click in a blank picture space. Once
again you get the dropdown list but this time with a paste option ,
telling you how many images you have on the clipboard. When you paste
the item or items , all the description, date and notes are added as
well as the image (or rather the image link). It also applies to any
files you have in the picture gallery, not just image files but also
sound files text file, anthing you can put in the gallery in fact.
