Re: [LegacyUG] Big Question

Barbara, Legacy 8 follows Windows Standards and installs to Program Files. It has, however, not followed many programs and stored settings deep in your username AppData folders. It creates a folder in your Documents called Legacy Family Tree. This folder cannot be moved or renamed. If you do,

Re: [LegacyUG] Media file locations

The path to the top media folder on Google Drive should be set at Options - Customise 6.2. Google Drive has a folder on your computer that syncs to the cloud. If you click the Google Drive icon in your System Tray there's an option to open that folder and then you can see the path. This will

Re: [LegacyUG] Big Question

Barbara, No version of Legacy embeds media in the data file. It would make the data file huge, just for a start. Note FTM used to embed media in their data file but more recent versions don't. I don't know of any other genealogy program that embeds the media in the data file. You can stay

Greetings, If I were to save all of my media to Google Drive so they would be available on any computer, what path should I use? Thanks, Carol Boswell From: LegacyUserGroup on behalf of Cathy Pinner

Re: [LegacyUG] Big Question

Oh, wow, good information. If I may ask further, then...my understanding was that if I did not intend to use the Western Digital software for automatic backups (which I do NOT), and I only wanted to use the WD passport drive simply as an external hard drive, that I would not need the WD

Okay, got it. I think I may at least try keeping 6, if it will work on Windows 10, and I'm very much "on" to keeping it in the directories as you mention here, Steve. So, I'll do that on the new computer and at last try it, with not upgrading after all. My two issues (will 6 work on Windows 10,

Re: [LegacyUG] how do I turn UG messages off!

I am well aware of the Mail management options, I managed all the mailing lists for Millennia when I worked for the company. The company made the decision not to allow digest mode so my statement that you either get all messages or none was correct so far as I know. Of course they may have

Re: [LegacyUG] Big Question

I would be very careful about wanting to remove a folder, created by WD, on a My Passport. These files include the software installs to enable Windows and Mac to access the rest of the device. On my 2TB drive they are using 241MB, about .01% of it. Otherwise, they are because you are using the

Re: [LegacyUG] Big Question

Correct, but Legacy pre V8 was actually breaking Windows standards by installing itself into C:\Legacy because that way it could install your data files in the same structure. With V8 it is now following Windows standards, and had to put the data files elsewhere. Regards Chris -Original

Re: [LegacyUG] Big Question

Now that makes perfect sense. I'm flagging this note to perhaps save me some pain when I do a new install into Windows 10. Agree about the admin thing--I currently cannot get rid of a folder (a Western Digital folder) I do not want on an external hard drive, because it says I don't have

Re: [LegacyUG] how do I turn UG messages off!

Make a filter in your email reader (gmail) to send all the UG mails to the recycle bin. You can still read the mails in the archive: http://www.mail- archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Evert 2017-02-03 0:48 GMT+01:00 JoAnne Flynn : > Can someone please syllable me
