Just built myself a new computer system and decided to give Windows 10 a second chance with a clean install. So far, I'm happy with the revised Windows 10 but when I re-installed Legacy something strange happened.
I had saved my complete custom data and media location folder from my previous install and copied onto the new system (it is all on a different drive than the C: drive; the program itself was installed to the usual default location on the C: drive.) I ran the new Legacy and pointed it towards my custom location for the family file. Everything is there. However in checking my customization options, I noticed the following strange things. Items 6.1 through 6.3 were all pointing towards C:\Users\(name)\OneDrive\Documents\LegacyFamilyTree\_AppData\ with the final sub-folder being "Data" for 6.1 Family File, "Media" for 6.2 Media Files, and "Temp" for 6.3 Temp files. Notice the "OneDrive" in the path. I know the OneDrive was not part of the Win7 OS and that Win10 gives users "free 15 GB" of cloud storage called "OneDrive" but maybe I fell asleep at the switch and didn't realize that Legacy would attempt to set up the cloud storage for file locations by default. Previously it was set up for the Legacy created "_AppData" folders in the User folders. Clicking on the RESET button for each item did not change anything. And clicking on the Options button at the bottom for Legacy Defaults or User Defaults did not change anything. (I am capable of manually changing the path to eliminate the "OneDrive" reference from each thus reverting to the "old" path that I am accustomed to and moving the necessary files to the usual location.) Did my system somehow burp on this install or was there a change in Legacy's defaults of File Locations for Win10 installations? My 75 GB of media files will never fit on the "free" OneDrive from MS.
