![]() ![]() I'm hoping this will avoid future problems of this nature and make life simpler in future. My plan in buying Family Historian is to have a single version of my tree from now on on my own computer and add new information to this from whatever source. I haven't been able to view the photo folder on line.Įverything has been done on my Windows 7 PC. I don't have a current subscription to My Heritage although it is still possible to sync my tree to FTB and view my tree there. However, when I go in and move photos to place 1 they do appear. The photos do in fact appear as a large box with an X in most displays, and do not appear at all in Diagrams when not in first position. I copied the Drive E files to the FH Media Folder and ran the routine to repair links but to no avail. I have found the media files both in the FH Media Folder and on my Drive E folder and both looked the same and neither contained the 4 digit "P397" type files. My computer crashed recently (before I installed Family Historian) and had to be rebuilt (update to Windows 10 did not agree with my Broadcom Gigbit Controller and had to be reconfigured back to windows 7) so I was glad to have all my files in my external drive. I place all files I create in Drive E rather than my computer's on board hard Drive - Drive C, routinely. I then created a GEDCOM file from FTB which I placed in my external hard rive, Drive E. Well, I synchronised my Family Tree Builder with My Heritage. It is not obvious why they are on drive E: when FH is on drive C. Perhaps if you explained the process of getting your photos from MyHeritage onto drive E: it might reveal where they have gone astray. It is simply that they have not made the journey into the drive E: folder. Those photo files must exist in MyHeritage somewhere otherwise they would not have been mentioned in the GEDCOM file. Please can you look in MyHeritage folders, etc, as I requested. If you can find those photo files, and mend the links, those images will automatically appear in the Diagrams and elsewhere. The reason those photos don't appear in Diagrams is because they are NOT where the FH Media records expect them to be, and that is the definition of a broken link. If those 'missing' images affect a Media record that is in Pref position 1 in the Media tab of an Individual then it will say Unable to load object in the Media tab, appear as a large box with an X in most displays, but will NOT appear at all in Diagrams and Reports. Those broken links are derived from photos that must have existed in MyHeritage. Sorry, but I am not convinced your assumptions are correct. Let us know how you get on, because having repaired the links there are further adjustments worth making. If anything is not clear then please ask again. If Windows file paths, then in Tools > External File Links try the Auto Repair Links button.īTW: If that does not work for all the File links then there are other techniques. If Website URL, then perhaps you didn't successfully synchronise Family Tree Builder with the MyHeritage online tree. ![]() You can view them in Tools > External File Links and check those with an X. Please confirm that in the Media records the broken File paths are Windows file paths and not Website URL. If not, then is there any correlation between good and broken paths as to their format or location? So, providing the filenames involved are mostly unique, FH can be guided to automatically find them.īTW: I assume that the File paths (both good and broken) are all outside the FH Project's Media folder. The links that are broken are between the File path in the Media record and the Media Windows file path. It is the Media records that are linked to Individual, Family and Source records. The first thing to understand is the Media records are quite distinct from the Media files. Re-linking should not be as difficult as you imagine, and can probably be automated, but we need a few more clues.ĭid you use Tools > External File Links to check which File links are broken? Presumably you did synchronise Family Tree Builder with the MyHeritage online tree before Export GEDCOM. I guess the guidance you followed is how_to:import_from_myheritage|> Import from MyHeritage (MYH)? ![]()
