Re: [LegacyUG] some of my notes have disappeared

Yes, I think you have that right. I have been doing this for some time. Some do not like this approach as it causes problems IF you open the same file on different computers at the same time (which I must confess I have done). That is my only problem with this approach. On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 2

[LegacyUG] Printing/not printing Event Notes

I have been looking for a way to sometimes print Event Notes and other times not print them. I don't see any settings that allow this flexibility. The only way I see to do this is to enclose the Event Notes in privacy brackets, then choose to either print or not print privacy brackets. Am I missin

Re: [LegacyUG] Request for addition to Legacy

Would it work to create an "Alt Parents" event and put the parents names in either the Description or the Notes of the event? It would show up on the Individual screen and in the Chronology screen. On Sat, Oct 22, 2011 at 8:45 AM, wrote: > I am probably the only one in the world who has a proble

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Gallery

It doesn't work for me either. I tried following Sherry's suggestion which I interpret to untag all pictures and make sure non are preferred. The problem is that I can't see how to have NONE of the pictures set to preferred. I even added a picture, made it preferred, then removed it. The picture

Thanks for the workaround tip. It worked great for two Source Writer sources I wanted to combine. On Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 3:49 PM, Mike Fry wrote: > Using latest version (7.5.0.112) on Windows/7. > > Noticed a mis-operation on the Master Source List window with the "Combine" > button. It doesn'

Re: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.

If you search the archives you will see this 4 field conventions discussed many times. I believe that most of the knowledgeable Legacy users (especially outside the USA) do the following: - Ignore the 4 field convention and enter as many fields as seems appropriate for the specific location (3, 4,

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Gallery

I haven't tried Sherry's suggestion yet, but what I did is create an actual photo of nothing. It could be the sky, a wall, anything of all the same light color. Then I attached it as the preferred photo for those individuals with the problem you discussed. On Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 7:25 AM, Sherry/

One other option, which I have used, is to add a "blank" image to Legacy, which I use when I have this situation. On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 2:19 AM, Rick Bowden wrote: > Margaret, > There are many picture galleries in your Legacy > database. Each individual has one, each event for

Re: [LegacyUG] Change fie extension

I would just add one suggestion to Tony's excellent article. If you want to move a picture to a folder unknown to Legacy, First add that folder to the list (Options, Customize, Locations, View Current List of Multimedia Locations, Add) Then you don't need to do the search. You can also use (Option

[LegacyUG] Entering census information

I have been following Geoff's instructions for entering census information but have come across a question. How do you deal with census information where the family is split over two pages? - Create two Events with two citations (one citation for each page)? - Create one Event with two citations? -

Re: [LegacyUG] Converting to a New File System

Another method is to go to Options/Customize/Locations/View Current List of Multimedia Locations/Add and navigate to the new folder and click on "OK" This adds that folder to the list Legacy will search to find your pictures/files Do this once for each new folder. Legacy will now find all files you
