[LegacyUG] TreeDraw and Legacy photos, Passage Express

Hi Listers I'm using Legacy 6.0 deluxe with 118 build, and the addon program TreeDraw. Over Xmas period I was trying to make reports and web pages to add into Passage Express and after learning that PE changes all the folder names to numbers I was able to get everything to link by using the

Hi Tracy, Re getting only preferred image into TreeDraw I don't think it can be done - at least not easily. The first problem is: What is a Print flag? As you've discovered, it's not the Preferred mark. Is it the Picture Tag? In a Legacy scrapbook you are supposed to be able to print just

Here's an answer from SpanSoft: snip The flags you're looking for in Legacy are the little checkboxes which appear over each thumbnail in the Picture Gallery. If you hold your cursor over them you will get the hint Tag/Untag item for Slide Shows and Printing. If you then use the Must have Print

[LegacyUG] Research Guidance Error #2

2007-01-12 Thread Mike Fry
Further to my previous message, there is a further, small problem with Research Guidance. Marriage Events do not appear to be included in the list of timeline events for an individual. If they shouldn't, then it is slightly illogical to be able to add a Marriage Event from the timeline tab.
