I've had problems finding image files in Legacy 7. I'd put grave photos under Burial Pictures (the plus sign to the right of Buried on the Individual's Information). Then when I go to the place where I linked other photos of the person, the grave photos are not there. I got the feeling that I had photos all over the place hidden then ended up attaching them again and entering facts that go with the photos.
I haven't experimented with the new photo features in version 8 yet, but I hope it has been improved. I was always at odds with attaching grave photos with a burial since it has nothing to do with the actual burial. I do have a few photos of actual funerals, but mostly grave stones taken maybe 100 or more years after burial. I was never sure where the grave photos belong. It would be nice to have all photos in the same place so they don't get lost. I'm very happy with version 8 and I consider this a major release and improvement over Legacy 7/7.5. I also like the interface. Since I use Microsoft Office 2007 and am used to the ribbon, there is no learning curve for me. There was when I first got Office 2007 years ago so those not used to the new interface may find it strange at first until you get used to it. Bill Boswell From: John B.

Bryan, 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. john. At 11:03 PM 11/27/2013, Bryan Pratt wrote: Tut, tut, Ron.

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.
