[LegacyUG] Missing Captions in Legacy 8 (imported from FTM 2014)
Hello. My Legacy 8 found and linked to the images in the GEDCOM file I imported from FTM 2014. But only some of them have captions! The images will a filename such as "023567890.jpg" or "Media 0152" came across with their respective captions such as "1901 Canada Census - George Martin" and "Will and Ethel Potter". But images with filenames like "William Potter 1926" that also has a caption in FTM "William Potter 1926" came across to Legacy 8 will no caption. I'm at a loss to explain why some do and others don't have a caption. When I go to a person's Media file in FTM the caption's are all there. When I go to the same person in Legacy 8 only some captions are there. Does anyone know what I can do to have the captions dhow in Legacy 8? If not it looks like I will have to open both programs and copy from FTM and paste into Legacy - a job I would like to omit if possible as I think I have a good 1500 to 2000 images without captions. Thanks!

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8
Thanks everyone for doing your best to help me. Bill Boswell has confirmed for me that my only choice, if I want to save months of work, is to upgrade to FTM2014. So I shall do that.

I just installed it to test and she is right. There are no options for exporting to a GEDCOM that will include the links to her image files. She would need a later version.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8
I cannot create a GEDCOM for FTM with Family Tree Maker as the destination - The dialog box shows that I have three exporting choices under “Output format”, namely “Family Tree Maker” – “GEDCOM 5.5 (standard)” and “GEDCOM for FTM 16”. Below this there are boxes next to 7 items, namely: • Privatize living people • Include private facts • Include private notes • Include media files • Include tasks • Include charts, reports, and books • Include only items linked to selected individuals When I choose “GEDCOM 5.5(standard)” the last 4 in the list are greyed out INCLUDING “include media files”. This also happens if I choose "GEDCOM for FTM 16". I opened the GEDCOM for FTM 16" in Word and searched for some know media images as well as for the term 'jpg' and got nothing. So the links are not included in this GEDCOM either I'm afraid.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8
Hi Brian, I opened the GEDCOM file in Word - all 3198 pages of it. I searched for a few names of images I have in my FTM Tree and it found none. I then searched for the term “jpg” (without the quotes) and it only found instances where the term "jpg" came up in notes I had made. The main problem seems to be that FTM does not give me the option of including media files, or it now seems even links, when I export to GEDCOM5.5. The dialog box shows that I have three choices under “Output format”, namely “Family Tree Maker” – “GEDCOM 5.5 (standard)” and “GEDCOM for FTM 16”. Below this there are boxes next to 7 items, namely: ·Privatize living people ·Include private facts ·Include private notes ·Include media files ·Include tasks ·Include charts, reports, and books ·Include only items linked to selected individuals When I choose “GEDCOM 5.5(standard)” the last 4 in the list are greyed out INCLUDING “include media files”. It appears that the links do not show in the GEDCOM file either so I can see that Legacy doesn’t know I had links in the original FTM file. Surely Legacy must get new users who were using FTM before. Do all of these new users have to abandon Legacy 8 or manually link every image? I don’t have the time or interest in spending days if not months doing this as I have over 2300 images. I realize the problem stems with FTM but I was hoping that a solution existed. Thanks for your attempts to help!! Diane -Original Message- From: Brian/Support [mailto:br...@legacyfamilytree.com] Sent: January-09-14 12:14 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8 At one point Diane I believe you said you chose an option in FTM to export only to GEDCOM 5.5. In Legacy when we present that option we only export a limited subset of the data for individuals. Did you also choose to include the links to your media in the GEDCOM? If there were no links to media in the FTM GEDCOM then Legacy would not know that you had media linked in the original FTM file. The message from the relinker saying there are no media files in the family file is saying that Legacy did not find any media links to any media file. It can only fix links to files which are named but where the location of the file has changed or where the user has changed the name of the file so it no longer exists under the expected name. Open the GEDCOM you exported from FTM, it is a plain text file so you can open it with Notepad or any other text editor. Use the search function to see if you can find the name of one of the files you know were attached to someone in the file. If the file name was not in the GEDCOM then you will have to go back to FTM and export a new GEDCOM. This time select the option to export for FTM itself to include the maximum information including links to the media files. Import that new GEDCOM into a new family file to see if the media links now exist.

Bill, I am using FTM2009. Thanks! From: William Boswell [mailto:whbosw...@gmail.com] Sent: January-09-14 11:58 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8 I have a feeling that the Relinker tool will only work if your Legacy data has already been set up with the images linked. I don't think it will work if you are trying to establish the linking process unless an FTM GEDCOM has preserved the path to those images. What version of FTM are you using?

If you can copy your media files to that directory and then run Relinker -- Go to: 1. Tools > Media Relinker and run it. 2. After Media Linker has found all you media files, choose the Gather Tab and have it place a copy of the media files into that folder (this will insure that you have all your media files in the above folder). As a note, older versions of Family Tree Maker has their our database that they place the media files into. Unless you have kept copies of your picture files elsewhere, there may be a problem of finding those FTM picture files. Let me know if the Media Relinker worked. If not, a more complicated process may be necessary. ___ Leon Chapman chap...@gmail.com - On Wed, Jan 8, 2014 at 3:03 PM, Diane Marcotte wrote: Hello, I just bought Legacy 8 and have found that my media files have not come across with the Gedcom file I made in FTM.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8
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??? Thanks! Diane From: Kurt Kneeland [mailto:kurt-kneel...@sbcglobal.net] Sent: January-08-14 5:44 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8 Is Legacy not finding the media files or did it not receive any media file links? 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.

[LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8
Hello, I just bought Legacy 8 and have found that my media files have not come across with the Gedcom file I made in FTM. Can someone explain how I can get the media files - I have over 2300 of them!
