Please verify this, when you go from Roots...Randy,<br /><br />Please verify this, when you go from Roots Magic 6 to FTM2014. I do NOT think that the "Primary Photo" file as marked in Roots Magic 6 will become the Thumbnail image in the People Workspace, Person View, at the top of the Right Hand Column. I thing that function in both programs are unique within them and not defined in GEDCOM 5.5.1. <br /><br />Louis may know the answer to that question.<br /><br />Louis -- I know when I have done this, that FTM2014 has a Find "Missing" Media files feature and WILL find the filenames, and will offer to allow the user to Link to that Image or to Copy that image, in the renamed folder, to the < filename > Media folder in FTM2014.<br /><br />Looking forward to your test results Randy.<br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-65929555654157603142013-11-18T18:46:11.873-08:002013-11-18T18:46:11.873-08:00That will be a good test, Randy.
I recommend doin...That will be a good test, Randy.<br /><br />I recommend doing the import twice. The first time, just do it. The second time, temporarily rename the directory containing your media files and then import - to see what it does when it can't find the links. <br /><br />Looking forward to your results.<br /><br />LouisLouis Kesslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704667321407909489noreply@blogger.com
