I do not know if you are one who is adding a lot of media to your Family Files, but the new tools for media are going to make life much easier dealing with any media.
Start by setting 6.2 to define for each family file what folder you want to use as your default folder for media.
Then check out the tools Gather Media and Media Relinker. Some folks used those tools to find photos buried who knows where on their PC and move them into organized folders to make moving your family file from one computer to another a dream. And the Media Galleries where you add new media to your family file have much more functionality.
I was able to add 100s of media to my Family File in an afternoon.
This is just one of the features we gained with the new user interface.

Thatâs err, 4+ reasons I think, at last count, that you might want to part out a few pounds.

Carl,
Whilst I agree with your praise for the Legacy program, and I am sure that
Legacy will be delighted with your undoubted loyalty, you have not given me
one reason why I would spend money to upgrade.
For me, I need to see technical improvements, and/or, additional functions
which I need - not the same as mere additional functions!! As it is, V8.0
does give this, especially with Event Sharing, the return of the 5 sourcing
options, the loss of which was lamented by many of us, the improved Family
Search option (although I recognise the caveats with family trees) and I
really do like the new design options, and much more.
Are there things which I would have liked which are not there? Sure but
there is sufficient there to raise my interest.
