[LegacyUG] Index View row height
The Index view in Legacy 8 still has the zoom option! It is invoked in exactly the same way as in 7.5. Click Options and select Zoom. Brian That's a De Luxe feature :-) Mike Fry That explains it! Was just coming from setting the zoom options in Name and Marriage list, it never crossed my mind that the same option for Views would now be De Luxe only. I do not know why you think Legacy is using the minimum font size on pedigree view. My min font is the default 6 points and the font size on my Pedigree is well above that. Brian I had set Font size to my usual Min. 8 Max. 10 and was seeing font size 8 in pedigree. After trying Min.8 Max.8(no change), Min. 6 Max. 8 gave me font size 6 in pedigree. I stopped testing there, went back to my Min.8 Max.10 and wrongfully conclude that pedigree was now using Min. Font size for Pedigree View. My bad, I don't usually do poor testing job. After seeing your reply I went back to test, did a thorough job this time, and now know that the Font size we see in Pedigree View is not the Min. or Max. we set in Customize but Max. Font size minus 2 (which make it a program bug to me and should be reported as such). Regards, Michel Lacoursiere lacoume...@yahoo.com P.S. Sorry! for not Replying.

[LegacyUG] Restoring picture links
Mistakenly unattached all of my pictures. Meant to unlink unreferenced Media Folders. Instead of clicking Proceed, I clicked on Unlink all media files. I am using version 7.5.0.278. Is there a way to restore the links from a previous media backup. I could restore everything, but that would overwrite the data I have input over the last 3 hours. I know I should have backed up the file before this procedure, but that option is too late.

You have to make a choice between two options a) Lose your three hours of data entry and revert to a previous backup, or b) Try and remember what was linked to what and relink everything manually. Me. I think option a) is less onerous if you save your current file, sans linked items, under another name and use it to try and recover your 3 hours of data based on the records that you've changed today. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] Restoring picture links
Morris, All the media file backup will do is restore the media to their original location it will not restore the links in the family file. The easiest way would be to save your current file with a different name or save it as a copy with a different name and then restore your family file from the backup that has the links. After it has been restored to the point before you deleted the links go to the copy of your family file then search for those individuals that you changed: search for individual what to look for” change date equal to a date after the point of your last backup then tag the search list. You can then export all the tagged individuals to a new file or import only the tagged individuals into your current file.

Re: [LegacyUG] Restoring picture links
No. The file you are now working with has no links to the media in the Family File To restore the Family File with the links you will need to restore your from the most recent backup made before you mistakenly clicked on the remove all media links button. Use Windows to find your most recent backup (Do you have Legacy add the date and time to your backup file names?) Note the date and time in the name or look at the file properties in Windows to see the date time for the file. 1. In your current file Search Find Detailed Search tab 2. Look for Whom: Individual; Where to Look Modified Date; How to Look: After; What to look for (Enter the date of the backup file) 3. Second Condition (And option on) Look for Whom: Individual; Where to Look Modified Time; How to Look: After; What to look for (Enter the time of the backup file (hh:mm)) 4. Create List: The search results will be everyone you modified since your last backup. 5. Close the search 6. File Export Export to a new Legacy File 7. Assign a file name like LatestChanges 8. Save 9. On the Export screen select the Focus Group option then click Edit Focus Group 10. Clear List to empty any existing focus group 11. Add Current Search Results 12. OK 13. Set your privacy options to include all private data and make sure options to suppress details are all off 14. Save 15. Start the Export 16. Do not assign an autosource 17. Open the file you just exported 18. Look at the records to see if they include the changes (they should) Do not worry if the people are not connected into families. Only families where data has changed will be included. 19. File Restore File 20 Select the most recent backup file 21. Open 22. For safety at this point I would restore your backup with a new name so you do not overwrite your current file. 23. Open the restored file 24. File Import Legacy File 25. Select the file from step 7. 26. Add the Legacy Information to the Existing Family File 27. Proceed 28. Make sure Autobackup Family File is on 29. Continue with import 30. For safety change the starting RIN and MRIN numbers in Record Numbering to numbers well above any existing numbers in your file 30. Start the import 31. Don't assign an autosource 32. Go to Merge 33. Continue 34. Use the special Duplicates search, Use Intellishare to Automerge (since all the people you imported were changed no actual merges will happen) 35. Continue 36. Examine the merges and you can merge the New higher numbered RINs into their originals. The General tab of the merge screen will show you the differences. For Events, Notes etc. you can use the special tabs to copy info from the changed person to the older one to make sure any differences are reconciled.

[LegacyUG] where to store images
I need to reconnect a bunch of images; they were never saved in the Legacy images file, always on my computer and I would just browse for the image in question. Now with version 8 I've been getting a pop up asking if I want to make a copy of that file to save in the Legacy images file (whatever it's called-that may not be exactly the name of it but it's in the Legacy program files I believe) It does give me the option so I can do it either way, but since I have a lot of images to get attached, I want to make sure I don't create future problems. What I prefer to do is to keep my images where they are, in my dropbox, where they are sorted so that I can locate what I want from any computer anywhere. Is there anything wrong with that? Is there a benefit to 'copying' the image to the Legacy folder as well? Should I copy all of my images to the Legacy folder? I would love some input so I can get everything cleaned up properly.

Re: [LegacyUG] where to store images
Kathy, With Legacy8, it is easier to copy your images to the Legacy folder for Media, and then when you backup your Legacy data you will also backup the images linked to records in Legacy. I would not put images in the Legacy folder that are not linked to a record in Legacy. If you send a backup (.zip files) copy of your data to a friend or relative, send the zipped Legacy and Legacy Media files, and they can restore the data and have an exact copy of your data and media. You will not need to send copies of images separately. Everyone, have you watched where Legacy is copying images from when doing a Legacy backup?

Re: [LegacyUG] Restoring picture links
IMHO anything as detailed as this, should be archived separately from the regular user list archives. There is so much to wade through with that and this is very concise. Even if it were using the format I've seen elsewhere where each question has a 'best answer' that is linked to the original inquiry. I wonder if the Legacy moderators save their answers like this in a separate folder that is easily accessible to them? In any case, I support your suggestion :-) Kathy On Thu, Apr 3, 2014 at 2:49 PM, JV Leavitt jleavi...@att.net wrote: This is such an excellent post to answer the question, I wonder if there are those who would like to see it put into the form of a tip for including in the help file?

The original document gives a list of what is on each page and gives some background about the archive and even some images of churches in the areas of research and a map. I wouldn't want to add these individually to every single individual that I am adding into my file. That seems excessive, although it would be nice to be able to access these general items without having to remember which individual that file is attached to. I hope that makes sense. I wish there was some 'general' area in Legacy that would allow us to add this type of document and maybe tag the family 'line' that would be involved. Reasoning is that I don't want to inflate my individual files unnecessarily but also, if I add to that tree later, I won't remember that I have a really nice image of the church in the area that the person was born or that I have a map of that area. And those things would only be attached to the people I'm inputting now. Does anyone have a work around for this? Or a suggestion about how you would handle these type of more 'general' documents?

Re: [LegacyUG] Export to FDB - question on event sentences
Were you exporting to a new legacy file? The first step in that is to create a new blank database populated with all the standard events and their sentences. The export from your file is then imported into that empty database. If you have customized standard event sentences you will be asked what to do with those custom constructs.

Legacy 8.0 has a new Gather my Media Tool that will gather all the media linked to your file into one common folder (the default media folder). That tool will be perfect for you to find media wherever it is stored and copy it to the media folder. Go To Tools Gather Media to start the process. It can also create a list of the media it copied.

Individual Where to look Relationship How to Look Equal to What to look for Spouses and Inlaws Then you can go to Options/Advanced Tagging and tag everyone in the Search List. This should give you your entire family tree. If you leave out the second condition you won't get the spouses and inlaws. This does include my step children but not my wife's other husband. This should work for anyone in your file where you have set the direct line. If you want your wife's tree then use her as the starting person to Set Preferred Line. I would appreciate knowing if this was what you were looking for and how you make out.

This is what the Advanced Tagging: Ancestors, Entire Ancestor Line promises. Whether or not it works for you depends on whether you have links between branches. I do have links so can't use it. eg a maternal cousin married a distant relative of my father. You can control it a bit by setting the number of generations. When I want all the ancestors of a person with all the offspring of each ancestor, I identify the ancestor or ancestor couple at the end of lines of their pedigree chart and then tag the descendants of each one or each couple on the same tag (which of course I've made sure is clear) To tag the descendants you use Advanced Tagging - Descendants - and make sure you choose Descendants and NOT Entire Descendant Line. If you don't want the spouses who married into the line and enabled the next generation of descendants, then I think you have to manually untag them. This is most easily done in Descendant View.

[LegacyUG] printing reports for adopted child
Hello, I’m just venturing out into starting using reports and am trying to figure out the best way to show an adoption. I couldn’t find a clear answer to my exact question in the archives. I have: Female child Ottilie WM born to Carl GE and Caroline WS, adopted by Johann HM and Wilhelmine MH. I entered “adopted” for Ottilie under the child-parent relationship links to Johann and Wilhelmine and “biological” under relationship link to Carl and Caroline. Ottilie is listed as a child I believe under each set of parents when I go to each parent’s family view. In the report options, I did check “show child-parent relationships”. On printing the Chronology report, for Johann HM, it looks like this: (location), Ottilie WM (dates), (Father: Adopted) (Mother: Adopted) daughter of Johann HM and Wilhelmina MH. . … This sounds confusing to me, like the parents are the ones that are adopted; is this the proper way to list it? Or is there a better way to arrange the information? On the family group record, It does list the same Father: Adopted, Mother: adopted on the same line as Child-Par relationship. I’m assuming this is the intended way to use the information but is there a better way to make it more clear to understand?(probably answer to both reports the same). And then, how do I show the biological parents on this report? I haven’t been able to understand any discussion of how to show both sets of parents in an easy way in a report. I would prefer to send the report in the Chronology format but maybe it’s better to use another type of report? If I do use the Family Group Record, is there a way to add some information on the Child-Parent relationship field to clarify the adoptive relationship? What do most people prefer to use in this particular situation? I’m sending this to a German relative that isn’t so good with English and want it to be as clear as possible. I’ve read that some people list adoption as an event, does that appear more clear in a report? Or should I just describe it in the notes section? Or something else? I welcome any suggestions as to what I’m missing or a better way to do this, or what report might be best to run. . .thanks so much, Pam Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
