[LegacyUG] Re: Gathering media files in Legacy 8
I managed to sort out this problem, I have many files archived on various external US drives so I plugged in one of these and set off the Media Relinker it found all except for about half a dozen so I printed out the list then let it Gather all these files and the ones scattered around my internal drives. I now have all the files in one folder. I will go back some time and find the missing files as I will have copies somewhere.

Jenny, If you use the Gather Media tool it will put the documents/images in whatever folder you want (doesn't have to be the Media folder) but it will only gather to one folder.

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Gathering media files in Legacy 8
Michele, The Re-link and Gather Media options are not working for me. Re-link says all ok, Gather says it is not, so it can not be used. Anything I can do to fix this? I have done file repair many times.

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Gathering media files in Legacy 8
I used to have them in a series of sub folders so not sure why some were 'lost'. I perhaps will now try and move some into sub folders then let the program find them again with another run of Media Relinker.

Jay, Send this in to supp...@legacyfamilytree.com. You can put it attention Michele if you want. It will be easier for us to figure out what's going on over there because we have the capability of sending screenshots back and forth if needed and if we end up going back and forth a few times it will just take up space on the LUG list.
