I have recently been struggling with a problem with media files. On many occasions I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to enter data into legacy. The problem I ran into deals with file names. As an example: Census - Bradley County, Tennessee - 1940 - John Doe is the name of a file I would use. The character between census and Bradley is a hyphen(ascii 45) as opposed to a dash(ascii 0150). Using Dragon to dictate this file name, I would use the word dash which would enter a space before and after the dash. In doing so everything seemed to work fine including the file sorting. However, when I backed up the media files and use the backup file to restore them on another computer I found many media files missing.
I have discovered that when you zip a file with a dash(ascii 0150) and then unzip the file the dash is returned as a hyphen. Therefore the file name has changed and LFT cannot find this media file. This is a warning for anyone who might for any reason do a backup with a file name that contains a dash. _______________________________________________ LegacyUserGroup mailing list [email protected] http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com
