Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Files Not showing Up in Windows Explorer

[Cathy Pinner]

Tom,

You can save things wherever you like, but never in a Programs Files folder.

I think if you mistakenly open your database from within a backup zip, 
it goes to a temp folder rather than the Virtual Store but I may be 
mistaken.


Which version of Legacy are you using? If you install a version of 
Legacy before Legacy 8 into Program Files then all sorts of things will 
end up in the Virtual Store as previous versions constantly wrote to the 
Program folder.


For Legacy 8 and up, wherever you keep your Legacy data file, you should 
tell Legacy at Options > Customise 6.1 if you are not using the Legacy 
default of C:\Users\\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data\


Note you cannot delete or rename this folder: 
C:\Users\\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\ as the \_AppData\ 
folder within it is used for your Legacy settings. That folder is 
hardwired into the program.
If your Documents folder has been properly moved, the section before 
\Documents\ will be different.

Thanks for your reply. I created a folder C:\Legacydata and copied all 
data files there. So far so good.


I then opened a file, created a descendant report and attempted to 
save it as a pdf - now that doesn't work. Not saving to Legacydata. It 
wants to save to ThisPC>Document>LegacyFamilyTree>Data (or four other 
choices.


Is there a setting in Options/Customize I missed?

Hi

Win 10 will not allow your programs to create files or folders 
directly below C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86), since these 
are restricted to programs. That is being dealt with by using 
C:\Users\.\AppData\Local\VirtualStore as a way to get around that 
limitation, but Explorer does not like following through this unless 
you force it.


With Legacy9 they moved the user files *away from* the program folder, 
which I think was C:\Legacy, and into C:\Users\.\Documents\Legacy 
Family Tree\ and this is where your should find the settings and the 
sample database. The database would normally be in 
C:\Users\.\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data and the media in 
C:\Users\.\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Media or 
C:\Users\.\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data\Sample-Media.


You can change that location within Options 6.1 and 6.2 so that you 
can put your files elsewhere, so mine are in 
E:\Users\Chris\Documents\Chris\Genealogy\Hill and related 
families\Family Tree\ and 
E:\Users\Chris\Documents\Chris\Genealogy\Hill and related 
families\Family Tree\Media.


Regards

Chris

Recent family tree files and pdfs of reports are not showing up in the 
proper location.



I googled “files not showing up in Windows Explorer and found this:

The correct answer is because of the "VirtualStore." Programs are 
permitted to write to their "Program Files" folder for legacy reasons, 
but they do not have privileges to do so, so they get transparently 
redirected to "C:\Users\"User"\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program 
Files (x86)" This causes the files a program saves to its Program 
Files folder to appear there WHEN IN THAT PROGRAM(or other programs 
that have saved to the Program Files before), but not in Explorer, 
making you question your sanity.


Here is where my files are:

C:\Users\tomgw\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Legacy9\Data

They should be in C:\Programfiles (x86)\Legacy9\Data

I tried to copy one of the files to the proper location and it said I 
needed administrator privileges to do so. What the heck is going on? 
How do I fix this and stop it from recurring?

Yes, many of the genealogy software programs only allow you to attach image 
files, not PDFs.  If you have access to a full version of Adobe Acrobat, not

There are also quite a few free converter apps.  cnet.com   is 
a reliable source for such free apps.  Another trick that I have used is making 
a screen capture of the image and saving it as a jpg, instead of downloading

I recommend Greenshot for screen capture. Mr Google will find it for you. I 
have no skin in the game I just prefer it to the Windows Snipping tool as it 
gives many more options for what to do with the image you capture

Re: [LegacyUG] To-Do List Error?

[Brian Kelly]

The person it is showing is the one to which your selected ToDo applies 
when you switch to showing Individual ToDo's


Select a different ToDo from the All Todos list and it will show the 
ToDo's for the person to whom that Todo applies.


I do not think there is any way to show, on screen, all the ToDo's which 
are Individual.


If you click the Print button you can choose to print ToDo's for all 
Individuals, this may be the only way to see all Individual ToDo's.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Files Not showing Up in Windows Explorer

[Chris Hill]

Hi

Win 10 will not allow your programs to create files or folders directly 
below C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86), since these are 
restricted to programs. That is being dealt with by using 
C:\Users\.\AppData\Local\VirtualStore as a way to get around that 
limitation, but Explorer does not like following through this unless you 
force it.


With Legacy9 they moved the user files away from the program folder, 
which I think was C:\Legacy, and into C:\Users\.\Documents\Legacy 
Family Tree\ and this is where your should find the settings and the 
sample database. The database would normally be in 
C:\Users\.\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data and the media in 
C:\Users\.\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Media or 
C:\Users\.\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data\Sample-Media.


You can change that location within Options 6.1 and 6.2 so that you can 
put your files elsewhere, so mine are in 
E:\Users\Chris\Documents\Chris\Genealogy\Hill and related 
families\Family Tree\ and E:\Users\Chris\Documents\Chris\Genealogy\Hill 
and related families\Family Tree\Media.

redirected to "C:\Users\"User"\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files 
(x86)" This causes the files a program saves to its Program Files 
folder to appear there WHEN IN THAT PROGRAM(or other programs that have 
saved to the Program Files before), but not in Explorer, making you 
question your sanity.




Here is where my files are:



C:\Users\tomgw\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files 
(x86)\Legacy9\Data




They should be in C:\Programfiles (x86)\Legacy9\Data



I tried to copy one of the files to the proper location and it said I 
needed administrator privileges to do so. What the heck is going on? 
How do I fix this and stop it from recurring?

Make sure the mefia file is NO larger than 1M.  I had to go through every
photo, 8x10s, census, and other certificates.

Re: [LegacyUG] Attach Media

[Mary Ann Latko Groetsema]

Yes, many of the genealogy software programs only allow you to attach image
files, not PDFs.  If you have access to a full version of Adobe Acrobat,
not just the free reader, you can save PDF files as JPG or other image
formats.  There are also quite a few free converter apps.  cnet.com is a
reliable source for such free apps.  Another trick that I have used is
making a screen capture of the image and saving it as a jpg, instead of
downloading it.  Depending on your computer the PRNT SCRN key or the
windows snip app will work.  But try both as they have a big difference in
quality for the jpg file they produce.  For me, the windows snip feature
works better than the PRNT SCRN button, as I can select what I want to
capture.

Re: [LegacyUG] Attach Media

[Chris Hill]

You would need to look at some of the 'free' PDF tools like NovaPDF 
since these may have the ability to strip data out of a PDF file. 
Unfortunately, I have not actually tried it myself, since 99.99% of mine 
are from Ancestry and FindMyPast in Jpeg format. Also look at the 
website to see if has an option for Jpegs. Obviously, you can attach it 
as a Document but it will not be included in a report.

I am currently downloading Baptism, Death and other records from the German web 
site archion.de. When I try to add them to my media files I am unable to do so. 
I am assuming this is because they are Adobe files. Is there anyway around this 
short printing each one then scanning it in jpeg.

[LegacyUG] Legacy Files Not showing Up in Windows Explorer

[Tom Weiss]

Recent family tree files and pdfs of reports are not showing up in the
proper location.


I googled “files not showing up in Windows Explorer and found this:



The correct answer is because of the "VirtualStore." Programs are permitted
to write to their "Program Files" folder for legacy reasons, but they do
not have privileges to do so, so they get transparently redirected to
"C:\Users\"User"\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)" This
causes the files a program saves to its Program Files folder to appear
there WHEN IN THAT PROGRAM(or other programs that have saved to the Program
Files before), but not in Explorer, making you question your sanity.



Here is where my files are:



C:\Users\tomgw\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Legacy9\Data



They should be in C:\Programfiles (x86)\Legacy9\Data



I tried to copy one of the files to the proper location and it said I
needed administrator privileges to do so. What the heck is going on? How do
I fix this and stop it from recurring?
