I too have Legacy on more than one computer -- a desktop running Windows XP 
and a laptop running Windows 7. 

I copy the data files (and those of other programs) using a USB flash 
drive.and batch files on each computer.

It should be possible to show that in user defaults, or isn't it?

Yes, that happened to me once, and I've never tried it again. I always 
download manually, except, of course when the download fails, as it did this 
time, because of the failure of the "I am a robot" test.

Re: [LegacyUG] AncestryDNA results

[Crystal Emory]

I ran into this same problem.  I do know that Ancestry standard test is an
autosomal DNA test.   I will be watching this thread closely to see if I
can learn anything new.

Re: [LegacyUG] AncestryDNA results

[Cathy Pinner]

Florence,

You can't enter autosomal DNA tests (like Ancestry) in the same way you 
can enter other types of DNA tests. The results are megabytes long.

You can enter an event and attach the results file to that.
You can use events to help you keep track of definite matches.
There are other ideas on how to record/track DNA matches in the webinars 
and elsewhere.

Re: [LegacyUG] TO LINK THE MEDIA FOLDER/FILES

[Cathy Pinner]

Georges,

Legacy does remember the paths to all the linked media.

I also use sub-folders.

Are you saying that it doesn't remember the last folder you were using 
last time you linked a piece of media but starts at the folder in 6.2?


That's what I expect it to do. But within a session it remembers the 
sub-folder I'm using.


Cathy


Gmail 
Thursday, 16 March 2017 4:16 AM

I have to live with some constrains imposed by Legacy.

Since I have copies of Legacy on more than one computer, I keep all my 
Media file on a separate external drive that I move from computer to 
computer.


If I use only one folder that I identify with 6.2, I have no problems 
and all the files are identified correctly on the different computers.


But I am a bit compulsive and like to keep together files of the same 
nature.


This is why I create subfolders – one for birth related pictures, 
another one for marriage related pictures, etc. and this is where my 
problems start.


Because of 6.2, Legacy goes to the main folder where there are no files.

It would be nice if Legacy could remember the path of already 
registered pictures, videos, . . .

Wam,
To see where your media attached to Legacy is, see either View - 
Master Lists - Media Folder List or go to Options - Customise 6.2 and 
click View Current List of Media Folders.
These may show the full path or use codes that reference the folders 
at 6.1 [Family File Folder] or 6.2 [Default Media Folder]


Option 6.2 should reference your parent media folder. You set this 
yourself.


What is unusual with your folder setup is that you don't have your 
data at a different level in your folder hierarchy. More normal is 
Data and Media at the same level with Pictures, Documents etc under 
that or Data as the parent folder with Media under it.

Data\Media\Legacy Pictures\
However that shouldn't be a problem.

With your folder setup you are right that 6.2 should reference
D:\Dropbox\legacy-myname\

The default locations are
...\Documents\L egacy Family Tree\Data\
and ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Media\
but you don't have to use these. You just set 6.1 and 6.2 to the 
folder you are using.


However you do have to have
...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\
This folder holds your Legacy Settings. You cannot change the name of 
any element of that path.


RE the data. Note that your family file is .fdb. 
This is the file that holds your data. The .tc is 
just a minor associated file. The more features of Legacy you use, the 
more associated files you'll have

[LegacyUG] Why are Irish records so weird? Free webinar by Ireland's John Grenham now available for limited time

[Geoff Rasmussen]

The recording of today's webinar, "Why are Irish records so weird?" by John
Grenham is now available to view at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com
 for free for a limited time.

*Webinar Description*

Not all Irish records were destroyed in 1922, but the burning of the Public
Record Office in that year did leave an immense gap. As a result, Irish
genealogical research has to deal with idiosyncratic, fragmentary and
sometimes marginally relevant records in ways that can seem very strange to
those used to British, US or Australian sources. In addition, Ireland came
late to digitization and has done it unsystematically. To be polite. This
talk unravels the ways in which marginal records have become essential for
Irish research, and the peculiarities in using them online.

*View the Recording at FamilyTreeWebinars.com*

If you could not make it to the live event or just want to watch it again,
the 1 hour 28 minute recording of "Why are Irish records so weird?" is now
available to view in our webinar library
 for free for
a limited time. Or watch it at your convenience with an annual or monthly
webinar membership
.

Tracing
Your Irish Ancestors by John Grenham - PDF or Printed book*
The best book ever written on Irish genealogy, the 4th edition of *Tracing
Your Irish Ancestors* retains the familiar structure of previous editions
but is now more useful than ever. Combining the key features of a textbook
and a reference book, it describes the various steps in the research
process while at the same time providing an indispensable body of source
materials for immediate use.

The biggest change from previous editions is in its approach to the
Internet. Online research is now an essential part of any Irish family
history project, so the 4th edition serves as a directory to online
records, discussing their uses and outlining research strategies. The sheer
scale of the data available online makes a guide such as this all the more
essential, and in the hands of a master it is indispensable.

Along with its step-by-step instructions in the location and use of
traditional genealogical records, its discussion of civil records of birth,
marriage, and death, as well as land records and wills, and its list of
Roman Catholic parish records and source lists-—all expanded, updated, and
indexed-—it is easily the most useful book in Irish genealogy.

608 pages | Published 2012 | Printed Edition

*"The most comprehensive and authoritative book on Irish genealogy
available."*-—Heritage Quest

*"Highly recommended for anyone doing Irish research."*--Federation of
Genealogical Societies Forum

I was updating from within Legacy when the download failed and the program
froze. I got a message advising a manual download.

OK, it seems to be a Google problem, and not a Legacy problem. 

I just did a search on Google about something quite unconnected with Legacy, 
and it timed out saying "The server at www.google.com is taking too long to 
respond".

Perhaps someone is doing a DDOS assault on Google.

Strange, the list has been slow, although it picked up the past few days.

Note the instructions at the bottom of every email on how to unsubscribe.

Thanks. I did not that the page (as opposed to the home page) took a long 
time to load, and there was a message at the bottom saying "Waiting for 
www.google.com"

I do use an addon called NoScript, which allows one to block or unblock 
scripts on selected sites, but I had it unblocked for the Legacy site. 

I'll try again tomorrow, maybe it was just Google being slow.

[LegacyUG] Your emailing list

[Donald A. Kirk via LegacyUserGroup]

The original message to the list is in the attachment.

This action is required because of the DMARC Reject/Quarantine Policy
imposed by some email providers. Users who want to send messages
without conversion to attachments should use a different email address
for their subscription.

Known providers for free email accounts whose emails do not require
this conversion include gmail.com and hotmail.com.  Many other email
providers will also work but you will have to give them a try.--- Begin Message ---

Re: [LegacyUG] Downloading updates

[Jill Baty]

Hi you are probably more advanced than I am but just in case...  sometimes the 
screen resolution combined with the zoom size will cause items to not appear on 
the display and I have experienced the scroll bars not appearing.  So I lower 
the zoom.  

Captcha's shouldn't be affected by pop-up blockers etc?

Best Regards,
Jill A Baty

Re: [LegacyUG] Downloading updates

[Brian Kelly]

The download pages added a Captcha several months ago.

Maybe your freeze was because you did not see and click on the Captcha 
and were also blocking the error page from loading. The original posting 
in this thread mentioned an error page the user got saying the download 
failed because his submission had failed the robot test.


PS. This only affects those who download from the website. An update 
from within legacy does not have the robot test Captcha. You did not say 
if you were updating from the web site or from Legacy.

Just tried another browser -- Internet Explorer instead of Firefox.

Still no Captcha box visible.

[LegacyUG] Export from findmypast.co.uk Import to legacy

[Mike Heseltine]

It should be possible to export a gedcom file from findmypast which I can
then import to legacy. The export appears to complete but I cannot find the
resulting downlaod on my computer. Using the import facility in Legacy five
gedcom files are found (not the ones I want). Whichever of the five I
select Legacy always goes to the same one to open.
Any ideas.

Re: [LegacyUG] Downloading updates

I use Firefox for my browser and I see the Captcha box. I checked my 
Firefox security settings and did not see anything that might control 
display of the box there. I visited the download page and looked at the 
page source however and the captcha box control is a Script. "src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js'>"


Maybe you have something on your computer that is blocking that script 
from loading.
