The files didn’t transfer at all. To make a Gedcom file in FTM I have to choose GEDCOM 5.5 (standard) and you’ll see from the image below that the option to include media files is greyed out. So I need a workaround of some kind???

If the file links didn’t transfer at all, you need to back to your FTM and check your export options and try again. As long as the file names came across (paths are missing or incorrect somehow) and you don’t have duplicate copies (files of the same names) on the same drive, Media Relinker will search the drive, find the files and relink them probably in about 5 minutes or less. If you have duplicate file names, then relinker will identify those and ask you to choose.

All of the media files had to be manually re-linked in Legacy. Maybe somebody knows a faster way of doing it in Legacy 8. The new Media Relinker might be the solution only I've never tried it.

Can someone explain how I can get the media files – I have over 2300 of them! Many thanks!!
