Hi again Bobby,
It’s interesting that your system behaves differently than mine. In your case, the value in 6.2 is changed to a new value, in mine the value (which is not the default) remains as previously set. (This is what you want as well, you are quite happy to retain your 6.2 settings). I’m wondering if the reason might be how the update is done. I am doing it from the “Legacy Home” tab updates box on the right where it shows you installed version, current version and gives you the option to update. Is that how you are updating, or are you doing it some other way? It’s pure speculation, but can’t one download the update from Legacy’s website and then install. Maybe that method does more a ‘basic’ or “clean” install and sets parameters such as 6.2 to defaults? Paul From: Bobby Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: December-05-14 11:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Update Problem Michelle and Paul, I have my default media file paths set as indicated in my email and as Paul has surmised. Immediately upon update the/Smith and the/Johnson in the family files is missing and ends up with media/. It seems that when I update the default path to my media is reset to the installation default. I don't believe this should happen since 6.2 has the default path labeled as a family file (FF). That is why I have the/Smith and/Johnson etc. added to the end of the default path setting. And Paul you are correct, the only thing I need to do is to reset the default path after upgrading. Not that big a problem but I don't believe it should be happening this way. If I left the media path set as the default when installed and linked all the media using that as the default I'm sure that my media would be there after updating even though they are in subfolders. However there are places within legacy that uses the default path to find your media files. For example, when I need to cite a source "and click on the" cite a source" button, legacy opens the windows browser to the default path and makes it easier to find your master sources. So you wind up with a choice of relinking your media after each update or living with additional steps to find your sources when working with them. Thanks for responding. Bobby ------------------------------------------------------------ Bobby, No, I don't think that should be happening. After the update, what path is in 6.2? From your note, I assume that pre-update in your Smith family file, 6.2 said C:.....Media/Smith. What does it say immediately post update? And, then do I understand that in order to 'find' your media again, all you need to do is update 6.2, you don't need to do any relinking? I always thought that 6.2 had absolutely nothing to do with existing links. The only time I thought it mattered was 1) when you are adding new media it would send you to that folder first to look for the media item (although you navigate to any other folder once in the add media dialogue), or if you were using the media re-linker (although I will say nothing about that because I have never used it).
