Re: [LegacyUG] Location of Legacy Files

2020-05-10 Thread Brian Kelly

Legacy will always recreate the Legacy Folder unless you move the 
location of your Documents folder using Windows. It needs to have the 
_Appdata folder in your Documents\Legacy Family Tree folder so if you 
move the Legacy Family Tree folder outside your Documents Legacy will 
recreate it next time you run the program. Cannot remember exactly how 
but I think you need to right click on your Documents folder and change 
the properties to point to a new location.This move will affect all 
programs which use your Documents folder to store files.

You can however use the Legacy settings in Section 6 to change the 
default location of your data and media files so they can be wherever 
you wish.

In a normal windows based computer the Legacy Family Tree folder is 
located in the user's Documents folder. It looks like your Parallels is 
using the Mac side for the user's Windows documents folder so that is 
where Legacy created your Legacy Family Tree folder to hold all the user 
related data it needs.


The sub-folders in that folder should include _AppData which Legacy uses

I find them here:

Re: [LegacyUG] Location of Legacy Files

2020-05-10 Thread Chris Hill


It is quite simple, but not always obvious !

C:\Program Files (x86)\Legacy9 is the running executable program and 
its support files. Since Win 8? this file is blocked from normal access 
by applications.


C:\ProgramData is a hidden folder used by Windows to hold 
installation files, and should never be accessed.


x:\Users\\Documents\Legacy Family Tree is the default folder for 
user related data. (In pre-V8 Legacy that was combined with the 
executable files into C;\Legacy...   ) This folder includes the 
configuration files, usually within the _AppData folder, and the user 
data, within the Data and Media folders, unless you move Options 6.1 and 
6.2 to relocate the user data.


Don't know about Parallels but I suspect that it has mapped part of 
the x:\Users\\ structure into the Mac file structure. While you 
could access those from the Mac directly there is always the risk of 
corrupting them.


Regards

Chris

Thanks - Likely I'll use some other date/location construct but bunching

I would use:

Year-month-day_state-town_lastname_lastname_lastname

I include the date and location if known.
Of course, you could just start with the last namesseparated by the 
underscore (or a comma).  Add whatever works with the way you 
usually name them.

Linking one photo to many inside Legacy is one thing, but how might I name
