I think the Legacy developers should take a look at The Complete Genealogy Reporter (TCGR)
In TCGR you may have photos of people as thumbnails but also all other pictures (including vital events photos) gathered in a special photo section of the report. You can not choose the size of photo in the report, but you can choose how many photos / page that should be printed. In the photo section the caption is written below the photo and, if there is a description (for example a transcription of a letter), you can choose to include the first row/rows with the picture and the rest in a notes section. And the best of all: if you select the report as a PDF (or HTML= you will have everything hyperlinked. TCGR is not so easy to master and unfortunately it can not read Legacy direct, you have to go via GEDCOM and then miss the shared events. I have thousands of high resolution pictureres (photos, scanned letters and other documents) and I have tried to create a 6 generations PDF report with TCGR and selected to include everything (with hyperlinks) It took less tha one minute and resulted in a pdf with more than thousand pages 2015-09-23 19:26 GMT+02:00 Brian/Support <[email protected]>: > If you look at those "other" reports you will see that the vital events > are mashed together into a paragraph of the life details.
