Hi
You can locate the family files (*.fdb etc) and media files (*jpg
etc) anywhere you linek, including putting them onto Dropbox, which I
would NOT recommend.
There are setting in Customise / Locations where you can specify the
default locations for these, so mine look like this
E:\Users\*******\Genealogy\Hill and related families\Family
Tree\
E:\Users\*******\Genealogy\Hill and related families\Family
Tree\Media\
I have left the location for temporary files in the default setting,
though you can change that as well.
E:\Users\******\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\Temp\
In addition, when you open or save as a file you can specify where
it is.
Personally, I would like a method to specify the file and media
folders dependent on each family tree so that you can keep them
separate. Thus family Brown is in folder ....\Brown and family Smith is
in .......\Smith, and get Legacy to make the settings on the fly.
Also, if you are collecting a large number of images or media, it is
worth getting the Media folder structured, by type of items (census, BMD
etc) or by individual/family. If you don't do that first you will have
the fun of relocating and reattaching them later when you realise that
you should have done it.
Regards
Chris

Subject: [LegacyUG] Can I move the whole Documents/Legacy Family Tree
folder?
By default Legacy stores family files in your Documents folder within
the Legacy Family Tree\Data sub-folder.
I’m reinstalling Legacy, and I am asked about a new Destination folder
for the program itself (Legacy9), but I don’t get asked about choosing
a new folder for the Legacy Family Tree folder (_App Data; Data,
Media).
Is Legacy locked into Documents/Legacy Family Tree? Or can I move the
Legacy Family Tree to different location (and how?) When I move the
folder, Legacy seems to think it is a new install.
Thanks!
Rob
