Yes I am talking about saved search patterns and yes you have described them
better than I managed.I work with several computers and as stated before I
have poor a memory, I have patterns established to allow me to find the files
I need when I need them on the various machines without having to go hunting.
Nothing upsets me more than a unreasonable change that costs me time.

Hi Ian,
I think you are talking about saved searches.
Legacy 8 appears to be hardwired to save them in
...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\usr
I prefer my saved options to be in another folder but have that folder in the
_AppData folder rather than elsewhere so it's not a big deal to switch to it
for saving and loading. However it probably isn't a big deal to keep them
amongst the automatically generated usr files as the "Load" process filters the
list to just the relevant group.
What storage and logistic reasons stop you changing the folder you save them in?
You have to have the folder ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\ or
Legacy doesn't work. If you move it, it is recreated with default settings.
They don't take up any more room on your drive if they're in Documents rather
than on the Desktop.
The \usr folder is opened automatically when you Save the search options and
when you Load them so once you moved them from the Desktop, you'd stop getting
bruises.

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask but I am very frustrated.
I have a list of search tools that I use to find entries, They are
stored with my Legacy files on my desktop.
This latest version of Legacy now will not auto route to that file
location when calling for a detailed search in the search window.
Each search is forcing me to manually route to the desktop location to
get the list of search tools. I cannot, for storage and logistic
reasons use another file location.
Legacy has always found and remembered the location in the past. I may
have told it where the location was but it remembered.
I sent in a bug to legacy but was told to just live with the change,
It is costingme time and worse, my memory is not what it used to be,
and the extra steps often cause me to forget what I was looking for,
so I have to go back to the file and replot my strategy.
Has anyone a solution to this? Am I missing a customize feature? I
have bruises on my forehead.
