Re: [LegacyUG] .fdb file list

2017-11-05 Thread bobstree2 
Install FREE search utility, "Everything" from https://www.voidtools.com/
To use to find fdb files:1.  Install, choose option to install on Context Menu. 
2.  Open Windows Explorer and browse down left side to desired folder (or 
higher in tree). 3.  Right click on folder name. 4.  Select "Search Everything" 
(red magnifying glass icon) 5.  Type "fdb" after the default line ("C:" fdb   
no quotes). 6.  Get instant results. Includes sub folders by default. (So, if 
you select a drive letter you see every file on entire drive). 
Lots of features, can do mapped drives, not just locals.  Excellent 
documentation. Forgot where the Legacy. USR files are?   I did.   Just went to 
folder for Drive C aand added usr to follow the * and quickly saw where they 
were.   Many more tools: wild cards, sorting, file preview, match case, 
files/folders only, RegEx, and much more. 
This might sound like I am a rep, but I am just a happy genealogy user sharing 
tools. 
Good luck

Re: [LegacyUG] .fdb file list

2017-10-31 Thread Cathy Pinner 

Pat,
Sorry,
I wasn't answering your query.
Alan tacked onto his response of how you could see and sort the list in 
File explorer a query about Legacy file extensions. I was only answering 
that.


You want a list of your Legacy fdb files complete with their dates. You 
can't get a list to print from inside Legacy.
You need a utility program like the one Martha suggested to do it. I 
don't think the one she suggests will quite do what you want without a 
lot of manipulating in Excel or Word because it doesn't include a filter 
so you can just get *.fdb files.

Hello Pat,

I am fairly new here, but am a very long-time user of PCs and have an 
official Microsoft qualification.

your files are saved.  If you then go to that folder using  “Windows 
Explorer”  or via “Start” menu (etc), you can see what files 
you have in that folder.


Under “View”, be sure to select “Details” otherwise the column view 
will not show.


If the column “Date last saved” is not showing,

Do the following:-

 , then tick  and inside that tick the 
column headers you want or require.  Be sure to include “date Last 
Saved”.  You can use the “Move Up” / “Move Down” arrow controls in the 
“Choose Details” window to alter the positioning of the columns.


Note:  in the “Show/Hide” section at the top of the main Windows 
Explorer window, it would be a good idea to tick “File Name 
Extensions” so that you can select the right type of data file.  
(Microsoft always seems to want to hide the “file types”  What I think 
of that can not be printed.)


At this stage I have not worked out what Legacy file type is which and 
I have not found a Legacy “Help” item with that info.

2017-10-30 Thread Martha Graham 

Hi Pat
There is a wonderful little free program that will give you a list.
Here is the download link.
http://www.tucows.com/preview/607345/Directory-List--Print
When you open it up, find the file where you have your Legacy data 
stored.

Then to the right of the open window, check the boxes for dates, etc.
the file will be copied to the clipboard
open word, and use ctrl-v to copy it.
