Re: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

2014-01-09 Thread Leon Chapman 
Upgrading to FTM 2014 is probably the only way you are going to get the
Links to Pictures out of FTM.
$28 to upgrade -- is it worth it to not manually link your 2300 pictures --
your choice.

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.

She's using the 2009 version.  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.  The only one I know that 
will do it is FTM 2014 if exported properly.

Have you tried posting your problem on the FTM Message Board on Ancestry?  
There appears to be several discussions regarding the transfer of media files 
via a gedcom from FTM.  (Make you sure mention which FTM program you have.)

However I did try it and imported the “GEDCOM for FTM16” into Legacy but no

Create a GEDCOM for FTM with Family Tree Maker as the destination. That

of data, including links to any media files you have linked in FTM.

Choose the Family Tree Maker Format Option. Then those other choices
should no longer be greyed out.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

2014-01-09 Thread Virginia Dunham 
Diane,

Have you tried posting your problem on the FTM Message Board on Ancestry?
There appears to be several discussions regarding the transfer of media
files via a gedcom from FTM.  (Make you sure mention which FTM program you
have.)

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

2014-01-09 Thread William Boswell 
Maybe FTM 2009 doesn't have the capability to export links in a GEDCOM.  All I 
know is the current version of FTM will do it if the links in your FTM data 
file are actually linked.  You have to select your destination as FTM after 
selecting GEDCOM 5.5 otherwise it won't work.  I selected FTM 16 and it worked.



You might have to upgrade to the latest FTM version, but prior to doing so I 
would make sure your images in FTM are actually linked to people.  There's no 
sense spending money on an upgrade if it doesn't work either because nothing is 
linked.



I opened the GEDCOM I exported from FTM using Wordpad then searched for ".jpg". 
 This is an example of what it found:  FILE H:\Genealogy\Prog Backups\FTM 
2014\Data\Boswell Ltd4 Media\302-04.jpg

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

2014-01-09 Thread William Boswell 
All I know is the media links from FTM to Legacy worked using FTM 2014 to 
export a GEDCOM so Diane might have to upgrade or try the instructions I gave 
in another post.

I noticed in my test that I had to choose FTM 16.  It might work choosing one 
of the other FTM versions, but I didn't try.  If exporting to just a GEDCOM 
only, the media links don't transfer over.

I don't know about FTM, but Ancestry flat out states that media from 
trees there will not be included in there gedcoms and that seems to include 
media links.  Perhaps in FTM they can sync media from Ancestry but 2009 seems 
way before the time that feature was added.  So there may be neither media or 
media links.

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.

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?

Unfortunately that did not work.  I transferred all 2300 media files from the 
FTM folder I have into ….\Legacy Family Tree\Media as you suggested.  I then 
ran the Relinker tool but still get this message “There are no Media files in 
this family file.”

My FTM media is called “Latest Full Tree_Jul 15, 2008 Media” and it is off a 
folder called “Family Tree Maker” on my hard-drive.  First I copied the “Latest 
Full Tree_Jul 15, 2008 Media” folder to Legacy Family Tree\Media and when that 
didn’t work I deleted the folder and copied just the 2300 media files.  But I 
still get the message “There are no Media files in this family file.”

This is the file structure I have after installing Legacy and importing my tree 
from FTM:

You mentioned a more complicated method???

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

2014-01-09 Thread Diane Marcotte 
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

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.

Diane:

Brian has the correct answer.

Create a GEDCOM for FTM with Family Tree Maker as the destination. That
will include all the FTM information and give Legacy the maximum amount
of data, including links to any media files you have linked in FTM.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

2014-01-09 Thread William Boswell 
I got it to work in FTM 2014.  I exported my FTM data file with images to a 
GEDCOM 5.5.



Click on OK.

The box "Export to GEDCOM" pops up.

Instead of selecting "Other" select "FTM 16"

Leave character set at "ANSI"

Click OK

Name your GEDCOM



Watch the box that pops up to make sure it is transferring media.  I tested it 
on a select few names that I knew had images.



I don't know if it will work with Version 2009, but it's worth a try.

I have a feeling that the Relinker tool will only work if your Legacy data has

are trying to establish the linking process unless an FTM GEDCOM has preserved 
the path to those images.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

2014-01-09 Thread Brian/Support 
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.

Diane:


It is best to place all your media files in the folder:

C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Media

That is where Legacy 8 would like your media files.

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.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

2014-01-08 Thread Ward Walker 
My understanding of GEDCOM is that it is one big text file, only. There is no 
concept of including image files ‘inside’ a GEDCOM. However, the GEDCOM should 
contain links (filenames) to media files. When I received an FTM-created GEDCOM 
from another researcher, she sent me the media files in the mail on a DVD. 
After importing the GEDCOM into Legacy 7 and placing the image files where I 
usually put my media files, the links successfully found the files.

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.

I wonder if you could export it to "GEDCOM for FTM 16" (2006 Version).  FTM 16 
was prior to when the entire FTM program was changed starting with Version 
2008.  FTM 16 had a better way of handling images and it might just export the 
paths to the images.  Just a thought.

2014-01-08 Thread Diane Marcotte 
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

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.

I was in the same predicament back in 2009 when I exported from FTM then 
imported the GEDCOM into Legacy 7.  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.

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!



Many thanks!!

Diane

Re: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

2014-01-08 Thread Leon Chapman 
Diane:

It is best to place all your media files in the folder:
C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Media

That is where Legacy 8 would like your media files.
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.
