Re: [LegacyUG] open file Legacy8
They are there, but are under a menu item called System. You can't see the whole path, however, so it's kind of useless because the files are now in a place where the path is naturally going to be longer than can possibly be seen in that little space. I don't know why the Recent Files display couldn't be wider, unless it is to provide for those whose monitors are very small. Okay, perhaps the box size could be made adjustable then, or at least the hover of a mouse cursor could provide the information in a pop-up? I know -- I should make a suggestion, so I just submitted one before sending this. Joseph Leavitt On 12/7/2013 3:19 PM, C.G.

Yes, I see that you are right about the way it displays. I wouldn't have thought there would be a difference. However, the recent files list is visible in any case, either by clicking on the big L when it is showing, or by clicking on the word System, just under a smaller L Icon in the upper left corner, when that is showing.

Well, actually it does make sense. The 'System' drop dropdown is only available in certain 'styles' and it makes perfect sense that different styles operate differently.

Re: [LegacyUG] open file Legacy8
Pauline, You do not need any Office installed. We used those names because they match the way those versions of Office implemented the ribbon designs and colours. For those who are Office regular users we thought describing the style in reference to the Office version it matches would be useful. Although there are many tweaks and options for how things look in Legacy 8 there is no need for you to worry about them. If you like the default, out-of-the-box look of Legacy 8 then just run it with those defaults.

RE: [LegacyUG] open file Legacy8
I only have one file. I always work in that one file. No risk of individuals being duplicated across a number of files with some files developing different info on these common individuals.

RE: [LegacyUG] open file Legacy8
Sherry, I don't think that is what Randy was referring to. He was talking about the action of the File-Open File function. By default, it asks if you want a list of Legacy Files or to use the Windows File Manager. It also has options to say always use one or the other. The problem is once you've chosen one of those Always options, you seem to be stuck with it. There's nothing under File-Open File or under Customize to change or undo the selection. I did find that Restore Legacy Defaults will reset the function of File-File Open. However, that also wipes out any other customizations. Tried getting around that by saving my customizations before resetting to Legacy defaults, but when I then restored my User Defaults, it also returned the File-File-Open action to the locked in mode. An alternative that might work is to save customizations on a section by section basis, excluding the General Settings, then do a global reset to Legacy Defaults, and then restore each section of customized settings, and manually reset the General Settings. This of course assumes that the File-File Open option setting is saved and restored with the General Settings even though there is no function to set/reset it on the General Settings list. Randy, Another workaround for you might be, with Legacy closed, to go to Windows file manager, find your .fdb file and double click it. It should open in Legacy. Thereafter, it should be on that Legacy File List that your File-Open File function is locked in to. -Original Message- From: Sherry/Support [mailto:she...@legacyfamilytree.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2013 10:07 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] open file Legacy8 Go to Options Customize General Settings to select your option for Starting Family File Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 7:43 AM, Randy Clark ceddaco...@gmail.com wrote: I mistakenly told it to always show me a list of files from which to pick.

Re: [LegacyUG] open file Legacy8
Randy, Legacy 8 has lots of flexibility with respect to files. The first thing you need to do is go to option 12.5 to reset how you select a new file. I also have a lot of files. I have them in a folder on my D drive. That is where I expect to find a file. So... I set Option 6.1 to that folder and that is where Legacy always starts with the navigation. Option 1.2 controls which Family file to open when you start Legacy. Now... do you see the big L in a circle on the top left? Click on that and you will see the list of the last 10 Family Files that you have opened. Does this answer your question? john.

You can find the list of recent files in one of two places, depending on the choice you made for the style under the design setting in the upper right, For Office 2007 styles the recent files are, as C.G. said, found by click the big L. For the Office 2010 style however the recent file list is found on the System menu item. Sorry, no option to pin favourites to the recent file list though.

For the Office 2010 style however the recent file list is found on the System menu item. Sorry, no option to pin favourites to the recent file list though.
