Thomas, When you say "users manual" are you referring to the manual for Legacy? Of course, once you transfer the pictures into Legacy, the gedcom program you refer to is of no further use.
You refer to "sample" it sounds like you are using the "Sample" folder as a repository for your pictures being imported into Legacy. May I suggest creating a new folder that is meaningful for what you are importing? I have several databases that I maintain in Legacy, each with a separate Media folder. If you do that, you will have to do some tweaking to reflect the change as to where the pictures are being stored. If you decide to do that, perhaps starting over would be easier. In that case, before importing the pictures etc, you should create folder names to match the name you choose for the main database. If you wish to pursue this, please contact me privately at [email protected].
