Ron, Thank you for your prompt response. I'm a little nervous about the ".jpg - .tif" issue. Native format that ... I'll look in the manual. Thanks for your help. I am doing a documentation project for my family and have an option checked titled "Suppress details for living People". Is there a way to print photos in Family Group Records even though they are living? The program suppresses the photos as a detail. Get some rest and you can ponder this in the future. Again Thanks for your input.

Leslie, That’s great, I wish all requests were so clearly answered! An advance warning Legacy is not too happy with tiffs and jpeg extensions, for reasons which we can go into later, but do not change anything for now. I assume that you have Legacy installed in the default C: drive i.e. C:\Legacy. I would copy all your “battery of folders” to the picture folder in that directory ie. C:\Legacy\Picture\ *without changing your folder structure names or anything else”. If you now pick a file name from each of the folders and in Legacy go to the image, you will see that Legacy can’t find it and are given various options, select to find it yourself and do so. Select that image and Legacy will then attach all the other images in that folder, repeat for each folder. In effect you link one picture from each folder and Legacy does the rest. I hope that is clear (I’m a bit tired) Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ From: Leslie Jackson Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2013 9:34 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Migration of Data/photos. Hello Mr. Ferguson, Each surname has a battery of folders, "Family Records, Census, Birth, Marriage...Photos (with a sub folder for "photos for Legacy". All names are unique -- However, Some are tiff, others are Jpeg. In that regard, there are some files labeled "ABCD.tif and ABCD.jpg". I hope this answers your question.

Leslie, What is the structure of the image files on your SD eg. no folder, one big folder, multiple subfolders? Are all the image file names unique – no duplicates?

Hello Legacy UG, I would like to know if there is a simple way to migrate the photo location to another directory. I had my Tree set up on a 16gb SD memory card and want to move it all to my hard drive. When I attempted to move the info, the pics were not found. Will I have to re-address them one by one? Using Legacy 7.5.0.2xx.
