Re: [LegacyUG] Media Files

June, It is always necessary to back up all your data including pictures off your computer and best practice is to backup to at least 3 different places. If you are asking whether you need to copy into the default Legacy Media folder when you link an image in Legacy, then the answer is you

Within my Pictures folder I have a folder – named Legacy - where I place all my photos and media associated with Legacy. Is it necessary then, to back up my media into another file. Thank you – June -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your

Hello Chris, If all else fails... one trick I've used for a few things like this is to generate a gedcom of your database. Obviously for this time you need to include graphic links. Then open the gedcom with a text editor and do a Search for part of the filename. The line with that

The file is linked to one of the sources you have for Joseph Edgar Swann, it is not linked directly to him so you will not find it in his media Gallery. Open his attached sources and you will find the missing media linked to one of those. Hopefully the source names will give you the clue as to

It sounds like what I just went through. I can't remember the number of the error message that I was getting. When I looked it up, it said that last resort is to remove the program and re-install it. I eventually did, and no longer get that pesky message :-) On Sun, Jan 20, 2019 at 12:07 PM Chris

All, I'm trying to sort out the mess I have created over the years with media files :-) and have got to the point where, when I remove a file which is duplicated, I end up with a message like this from the Media Relinker Missing Media Files in: C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Legacy Family

Margaret I don't think you can get that list. :( What you can get is a list of attached media and who it is attached to. If you save that as a PDF it is searchable. Reports - Other Reports - Scrapbook OR View - Scrapbook Choose your options and then the Print Media File List button. Cathy

Re: [LegacyUG] Media Files

Yes the Media Relinker will find the pdf files if you move them, provided you don't rename them. I suggest you make your new folder in your Media folder. It's best to keep all attached media in one folder structure. No to the second, you can't see which pdfs are not attached. You can get a list
