Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Center - Undo Set Preferred
Bill, Having just recently ustarted usig the Picture Gallery and pretty intensively, I think I have a quicker answer for you. Highlight the individual in the name list on the left. You should then see all the photos/images attached to whichever events in the Attached Pictures window center bottom. Click on the Attached Pics tab on the right. See the Set Preferred button? Highlight the photos/image you want to be preferred and click on Set Preferred. The * automatically moves from the gravestone picture to the one you want. (provided you have another picture you want to use.) Hope this helps. --Paula From: William H.

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Center - Undo Set Preferred
What you could do is create a blank or dummy image and attach it in the first position. On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 5:12 PM, William H.

RE: [LegacyUG] Picture Center - Undo Set Preferred
That's a great idea. It really isn't a big deal, I just don't want the person's profile photo to be a tombstone. I think I've figured that out though. I figured out how to move the images from Individual to my Grave position using the Pic Center. It's taking some time getting used to Legacy because there is a big difference between FTM and Legacy. For instance, sources can be viewed instantly in FTM 2009 when you click on an event, name or anything else. The way Legacy is set up to do this is very awkward to say the least and not very efficient in my opinion. I also found that when I converted my data over to Legacy, the photos and information were duplicated for each time they were used. I'm having to go into the Picture Center's Picture List, select each image and re-enter the information, remove the old image then relink to those same people. I found this out when I had to edit the text information (date, name, etc.) on one individual and it didn't update for the others. I think doing things over manually is the better option since I find other errors along the way.

RE: [LegacyUG] Picture Center - Undo Set Preferred
This is a lot of work reorganizing all this stuff again. I did this last year in FTM and it took almost a year. However, Legacy has better output than FTM ever will. I'm wondering if my Grave field for individual tombstone photos is the way to go with this. Somebody else said they put it under Cemetery. I'm thinking later on when I want to print out a list of people buried in a particular cemetery I would like to have all this information included. I don't know enough about Legacy to figure out the best way to organize this data. Although cleanup has to be done. -Original Message- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com]on Behalf Of Dennis M.

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Center - Undo Set Preferred
Another suggestion - import a test file of you data to Legacy and just play around with it for awhile. Try entering information in different ways and then checking various reports and the many options within those reports to see how it looks, what you like and don't like. In general, get familiar with all of the features. I did this for about 2 months when I moved from FTM v.16 to Legacy a couple of years ago and I think it was time very well spent. During this time, I tried to clicked on everything in Legacy to get a feel for what could be done. Then after I felt comfortable with the software and had an idea of how I wanted to set things up, I imported a clean file, tagged everyone in the file with Tag 1 and started to work. I looked at each person, added events and photos and made sure they were set up like I wanted then deleted the tag so I knew I had finished that person. That took some serious time (and I still have some cousins I haven't done) but I started with my direct line and the siblings of my direct line because they are the people I have the most details about. As to your question about whether or not Grave is the best way to go for tombstone photos - it's really just your preference. I added an event Grave Marker (the event name doesn't really matter) to which I attach tombstone photos. My main emphasis is a website and I wanted the tombstone photo to be the last thing displayed on the person's webpage. Linda www.lfmccauley.com On Sat, Sep 12, 2009 at 11:38 AM, William H.

RE: [LegacyUG] Picture Center - Undo Set Preferred
Legacy is broken and won't load without crashing. I've given up on it. While I think it's a great program with a lot of features, I can't get past the crashing especially when working with images. If it won't cooperate with the images, then I have no need for it. I'm going back to TMG until something better comes along. I just wasted the last several days of work. I'm not wasting anymore time with this. -Original Message- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com]on Behalf Of Linda McCauley Sent: Saturday, September 12, 2009 12:20 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Center - Undo Set Preferred Another suggestion - import a test file of you data to Legacy and just play around with it for awhile.

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Center - Undo Set Preferred
If what your feeling is that your only picture for a person is the grave, which you don't want to look at continuously, you might want to take one of the default pictures with Windows (flowers, skys, animals, etc.). They are already in the DB, so no downloading, and minimal space requirements. It is better than removing them and misplacing those photos you want in the directories. I have also added photos of buildings family lived in, and churches they attended, and finally postcards for the area. You may never find a 'mugshot' of your person but you can find something positive to memorialize each one.
