I was looking at the list of pictures in my C:\Legacy\Pictures folder and am thinking about adding sub folders. I know about linking the pictures but am wondering if adding extra folders is getting a little too pedantic am I better off with a long alphabetical list? I have all these pictures

Brian, Just out of interest, why do you suggest a General ToDo? I too use ToDos for this purpose but the Individual ToDo, my reasoning being that I am looking for specific information relating to an individual. I cannot see a problem with your suggestion - just wondered why that choice. Ron

Erica, Re: sub-folders, this is really personal choice, the limit is governed by Windows not Legacy and is very, off hand I'm not sure what it is as I usually create another folder when I find searching a folder, or selecting a unique name a bit of a pain. The recommendation re file names still

In the context of the original post there is no one special to create a To Do for. He wanted to know how to record sources where nothing was found about anyone in his file. I agree that if you were searching a source for a particular person and found nothing a To Do for that person would be the

It is largely a matter for personal preference whether you divide your pictures into sub folders or not. I do keep files in a set of sub folders, mainly because I inherited the system from a cousin. She had her photo files organized under her 15 siblings names. I kept that structure and added new

Brian, Advanced set living works from the youngest to the oldest and identifies those who are dead from that data. However, this does mean that some can be missed where there are missing dates from the younger generations. LTools has a routine which works from the oldest down thus catching at

Ray, I had this problem when I first transferred my data file to Legacy and began using it. I found a way without issuing a separate report. What I did was the following: 1. click on the Index tab. 2. Click on the Customs button located near the upper, right-hand area of the page. 3. Select

[LegacyUG] Question About Sourcing and Repositories

I have a few questions about sourcing that I'm sure many of you can help me with. 1. When you cite a newspaper article as a source, do you attempt to always document where that article can be found, either online or in a person's possession? And do you always provide the specific http URL

Hi Jerry, I think the best you can do is to document where you found it. If it changes and you know then you could change your information too. If you don't know then I don't think there is much you can do. Even 'official' repositories change location and name from time to time. ..Paul ---
