Thank you. That is very helpful. Nancy
From: Michele/Support Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2015 1:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Pictures Nancy, If you link to a photo outside of the Media folder you will be a popup box asking you want you want to do. You have the option to copy the photo to the Media folder and then Legacy will link to that photo (not the original one) or you can tell Legacy to leave the file where it is and link to it there. Whatever option you choose, you can tell Legacy to remember your choice for the rest of the current session. If the photo is already in the Media folder (even if it is in a subfolder) you won’t get this message.

From: Michele/Support Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2015 12:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Pictures The default location for your media files is Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Media. You don’t have to put your files there if you don’t want to but that is where the default is set up. You can have subfolders inside this folder if you like (I do). The one reason someone might want to put their pictures directly on the C: drive in a dedicated folder is if they have a deep subfolder structure. This will cut out several levels. What you don’t want is your media files scattered all over your hard drive.

Do I find that media file somehow and put all my pictures in there? Before I start linking them to my program I want to get them in the best place.

You can create a cd to share with the images and that could be viewed by others. They would need to install legacy to see everything but they can install the free version. Others will probably give you more details or you can check help files :-). It would take up too much space and slow the program down significantly if legacy embedded all the photos :-(. I wish it could so it too. Kathy On Wednesday, January 21, 2015, <[email protected]> wrote: I want my pictures to be actually stored in Legacy and not just linked. Do I use media center or media gallery?
