Legacy - Testing Multimedia paths
From the Family Tree Forum Reference Library
The photos and images which you attach are the multimedia files. They are not stored within Legacy, but on your computer. Once you attach them to your tree, if you move or rename them, Legacy can no longer find them and they don’t open. To check that all are in place:
- Choose Options from the top tool bar, then customise, then click on the locations tab.
- Click on Test all multimedia paths.
- A new window opens, move the tick to Make a list of all missing multimedia files, click proceed.
- It then checks for any missing ones.
- If any images are missing, you can either choose the option to let Legacy search for them, or if you know where they are likely to be, you can choose browse and find them yourself.
- Once you know where they are, you can then reattach them to the event.
