Re: [LegacyUG] Photos added to source detail
Jennifer, You need the Picture Gallery Clipboard. It doesn't work from the Picture Centre but is fine from any Picture Gallery. Just right click on the thumbnail in your source gallery and you get a dropdown with options to Copy , for just the selected item or Copy All for all of the items in the gallery. Once selected go to the target gallery and right click in a blank frame to get another option dropdown with a Paste option , which also tells you how many items are on the clipboard. All your Subject , date and description data is included with the image.

Amazing, Rick. Thank you very much. I have been using Legacy for years and didn't know about this feature.

This same right-click menu includes Copy/Append and Copy/Append All. Am I right in thinking that this is for use with split-screen view, to copy a picture from the gallery on one side to the gallery on the other? -- Jenny M Benson 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/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] Photos added to source detail
Jenny, I don't think so. I think it is intended for use where you want to add pictures from more than one source gallery or if you are selecting more than one, but no all from a single gallery. You would use Copy/Append to indicate that you were just adding to the pictures already loaded onto the clipboard.

I couldn't seem to find anything in Help on this topic, but there was something on a slightly different topic where Append meant add to the record in the other window. -- Jenny M Benson 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/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
[LegacyUG] Photos added to source detail
I am currently saving headstone photos sent to me and attaching them to the individual's burial event using Picture Centre. Often I also use a transcription of the headstone as a source for the death date and like to attach the picture to the source detail. It would be really nice if I could attach the picture to the source detail from the Picture Centre to save re-typing the caption and description. Does anyone know of a work around that would save me time?

Re: [LegacyUG] Photos added to source detail
Boy, are you a workaholic! The only workaround I can think of is just don't do what you're doing. If you add information to the pictures using IPTC the info is there and you don't have to type it twice. Now, Legacy is not too IPTC-friendly at the moment. It will automatically import the IPTC caption into their Description field so that's something. When you go to link a picture Legacy will ask you if you want to import the attached info. I don't think there's a way to link Source Detail pics through the Picture Center. .
