Re: [LegacyUG] Media ( Pictures ) ?
The broken media links indicate that a file which is currently linked to something in your data (person, event, source etc. See Chris Hill's reply) has been moved or the file name has changed. Legacy 9 includes a tool to help you find these missing files. It will search your hard drive(s) looking for all the files with the filenames currently used. I suggest you use that tool first to fix as many links as possible. Go to Tools > Media Relinker You can use that tool to show a list of all the missing files and where they are used. Click on "Relink my media" to have Legacy search for the missing files. If it finds only one copy of a file it will amend the internal links in Legacy to point to that file. If it finds multiple copies with the same name it will present you with a list of the files it found to let you choose which copy should be used. Brian Kelly On 11-Oct.-19 10:42 a.m., Robert O.

Re: [LegacyUG] Media ( Pictures ) ?
Hi There are several places within Legacy where you can attach media, usually photo, files. This could be to an individual, a marriage, to a virtual items such as a baptism using the + button to the right, to an event on the individual or marriage, or possibly to a source. Usually, you can set them by clicking on the icon of a 'TV with two people in it' and then follow the dialog to select the type of media and the location that it is in. In every case Legacy will store the name of the file and the folder in which it is located. The 'broken media links' indicates that when following the saved file name and location Legacy could not actually find the file, ie it is not in the correct folder or it has a different file name. First rule - NEVER change or move media files. By default, Legacy would expect you to use the default media folder, which you can override by modifying the setting in Options / 6.2. If the file is within that folder, or a folder beneath it, Legacy will actually put a short cut to it, rather than a direct link to the physical location. Just below 6.2 there is a button to show the media location. From my database, this is the list of media locations: 1 [Family File Folder]\Media\BMD\Canada\Marriage\ 2 [Family File Folder]\Media\BMD\UK\Birth\ 3 [Family File Folder]\Media\BMD\UK\Death\ 4 [Family File Folder]\Media\BMD\UK\Marriage\ 5 [Family File Folder]\Media\Buildings\ 6 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\Canada 1911\ 7 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\Canada 1921\ 8 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\England 1841\ 9 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\England 1851\ 10 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\England 1861\ 11 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\England 1871\ 12 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\England 1881\ 13 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\England 1891\ 14 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\England 1901\ 15 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\England 1911\ 16 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\England 1939\ 17 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\USA 1910\ 18 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\USA 1930\ 19 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\USA 1940\ 20 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\Wales 1901\ 21 [Family File Folder]\Media\Census\Wales 1939\ 22 [Family File Folder]\Media\Immigration\ 23 [Family File Folder]\Media\Maps\ 24 [Family File Folder]\Media\Person\ 25 [Family File Folder]\Media\Probate\ So I put them all within the default media folder, set within Options / 6.2, and I use multiple folders below that to structure them. If I had included files outside of the Media folder, then Legacy would be holding the file drive/folder structure. From 6.2 you can also get Legacy to scan for missing media. If it finds issues you will have a choice. 1. You can ask Legacy to try and locate the missing files, generally by scanning through you PC looking for them. Can be VERY long, my PC has about 2 to 3 media files on it. Of course, it will only find files with the right file name. 2. You can decide to look for the file directly, on the basis that you either know its new file name or the location that you moved it to. Hope this helps.
