So if you use Gather My Media, will it move where you currently have your photos from multiple folders? Will you have to relink everything from everywhere individually on your own? God bless, Ellen

I have my multimedia collection organised (well, sort of organised) the way I want it in a series of folders and subfolders. I do not use the “Legacy Multimedia” folder. · Some of the images are genealogy related, others not. · Only a very small portion of even the genealogical images will ever be linked in Legacy. I have many photos of Grandma, but not all of them are linked to Legacy. · I have a backup strategy which backs up all of my multimedia at once, regardless of whether it is genealogical or not or whether it is linked to Legacy or not. For this reason, I find the Legacy multimedia backup very limited (and I don’t use it) because as I understand it, it only backs up those images that are linked to a person, event, or source. I want to back up all photos of Grandma, not just those linked in Legacy. My two cents…….

Mine are all categorized. I don't like them all lumped into one folder. It's too hard to find images if they're all in one place. William Boswell From: Paula Ryburn [ mailto:[email protected] ] Sent: Sunday, April 20, 2014 8:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Location of images in v8 - not what I expected Okay, so I've finally upgraded to v8. I see that my database has been copied to My Documents and converted. However, none of my charts or pictures have been moved out of the old Legacy folders. Did you guys all move your images over to the My Documents area? Pros/cons of doing so? I guess I expected the old Legacy folders to go away... or at least that once I had successfully upgraded, they were obsolete & could be deleted. What's the strategy behind this sort of split implementation? Some stuff in the new location and some stuff in the old location?
