I posted this inquiry some time ago but want to post again as I still
have a problem with SugarSync 2 syncing between computers. I would
appreciate a reply either on the list, or a private reply, from SugarSync
2 users.
I received a private reply to the original inquiry from an individual
with whom I lost contact to further pursue the subject. That reply was as
follows "I also use SugarSync and my thinking is that you need to start
having SugarSync synch the Legacy Family Trees and the Legacy Charts
directories which you will find in the Documents folder. This is so your
family files will always be in synch.
In respects, to your media files I assume the overall directory is
Genealogy Stuff. You need to only change your location in Legacy to
point to this directory to look for media items in it or to any of
Genealogy Stuff's sub-folders. SugarSync will continue as always to
synch between both computers as before."
The problem with this reply was that 'Libraries' on the laptop is empty,
containing no folders as there is on the desktop where, as this reply
noted, the LEGACY info is stored in a DOCUMENTS folder. Is this absense
something relating to a 32 bit OS vs 64 bit OS or did I the botch the
initial install on the laptop? How do I get these folders/files into
'LIBRARIES" on the laptop via inclusion in SugarSync 2 to get everything
to sync correctly?

MY ORIGINAL INQUIRY......
I have Legacy 8 installed on my primary desktop and also on a laptop -
both using Windows 7 (32 bit on the desktop OS; 64 bit on the laptop). On
my desktop version I have the following folder structure on my D drive
where the following are stored:
GENEALOGY STUFF
Individuals & Tombstone Photos
Legacy Audio-Video
Legacy Docs-Obits,Birth,Death,Marriage,Will Info
This scheme worked fine on the desktop for Legacy 7.5. Legacy 8 links to
these respective location(s) and contents for individuals.
My problem is syncing isn't working as it did with Legacy 7.5. I use
SugarSync 2 (Nov 5 2013 version) to sync between my desktop and laptop.
I can't seem to get the laptop Legacy 8 directed to the SugarSync 2
location that contains the information referenced in the above noted
structure. Unlike Legacy 7.5 where you could specify the path for Picture
files; Sound files; Video files; Document files; Legacy 8 doesn't
accommodate this having only the option 6.1 Default location of family
files (which specifies the path where the photos, video, documents reside
on the laptop) and 6.2 Default location of media files. Using Legacy 8's
recommended Media Relinker on the laptop when trying to link to a
specific file in one of these folders produces a list saying ALL my media
files are missing!
In Legacy 7.5 there was no issue. I changed something in a Legacy entry
on the desktop and it was sync'd with the laptop next time I logged on.
Same going the other direction. A change in a Legacy entry on the laptop
was sync'd with the desktop when I logged on next time. SugarSync 2 took
care of changes going both directions. This isn't the case with Legacy 8.
