Hi Harold! :) Thanks, I had posted to the TNG community, at first; and then it was suggested to post here in FHUG, so that people here might be of aid, or others who don't frequent TNG boards might get insight. For me it was natural to go the TNG forums, since it was a mediatype issue, and Ver. 14 h...

Mike,
Ok
Give me 2 days for my day off to arrive and I can get something up here.

Jeff

Hi Everyone! :) Most grateful for any ideas on this issue. I am using FH7 and TNG ver.14 I am getting maybe 20% of my gedcom with media/medialinks and photos/associated medialinks appearing in TNG. I have set things up in TNG via this: https://pluginstore.family-historian.co.uk/page/help/export-gedc...

Ok Thanks Mike, got it.
I do want it to work for me
....in japanese yen , FH7 is between $75-100 USD.
Jeff

OK Mike, Thank you, I understand :) I was careful to follow FH==>TNG instructions, but I will discuss FH gedcom import on the TNG forums then. You will be working with a CP on this to solve the export plugin and the issue you see with my installation? and hopefully let me know before my 26 days are ...

Mike, Im a little confused.. "Regarding the Export Gedcom File issues with Media migrating to TNG, please start a new thread for that specific problem." So you are having me run the test to confirm is all; and continue the problem in another thread? with you feeling it is not an issue of the plugin?...

Mike, A little more clarity as to why my fixation on getting this plugin working for me==> In an imported gedcom from FTM or RM ===> FH or a RM tree ===> FH...the medialinks and associated medialinks are always intact. and the interface in FTM, RM, or FH look fine. But in TNG I lose a very large amo...

Mike,

The test showed no signs of errors in the first 1000.
The export plugin cleared and finished, but with errors.
The accent marks seem to trip it up.
I have included the .csv's of those for you.

Jeff

Hi Mike, Sorry I got excited when a workaround occured to me. You are operating from a different pespective to get the plugin working in all enviornments, my apologies. I have set all back as it was. It seem on my end, processing French and German accent marks always hit a wall. 2-3, so that is the ...

Mike, OK! :) I had to do 2 things. 1. external broken links seem to be important. a. I changed those .htm notes into .jpg's in the media file. b. I made sure the .jpg and previous .htm names matched. c. the names in the broken links window showed truncated names, so I had to edit and rename them to ...

Hi Mike,
The external missing 37 files are evidently "notes" that open in a firefox .htm

I am in the process of converting each one into .jpg

then drop them in the media folder and see if that helps?

Jeff

8 - Conflicting place record names:

Hi Mike, These are the usuals: Check for Unlinked media OK UDF List OK I have screenshots of : 5 (External File Links window) 6 (proj. stats - Records) 7 (proj. stats - Facts) 8 - Conflicting place record names (in the next post) 37 external files are missing (searched 93,109 folders) I probably can...

Mike, Thank you for your kindness :) I have looked in my main and external drives, and nothing left of the FH6 projects. Only the upgrade FH6 .exe with a key that no longer works. All my files are on Ancestry, as well as backed up in externals and in the cloud. PERHAPS in the cloud, I MAY have saved...

Ok Mike, Thanks.... My FH6 was upgraded with my license, but that doesnt workto open the old FH6.xx when I installed it before, SO I am on a FH7 trial with 29 days left.... not sure I can get another free trial after that. If I cant export FH to TNG with the 20 years of data I have collected, not su...

Hi Mike,

A smaller file ANC==>RM file==>FH imported and TNG export cleared fine with no problems.

Perhaps in FH or RM, I need to evaluate all the quirks via query for BMDs out of place, etc.?

I got the LUA error popup message box is all with the text that i pasted in the post.
otherwise frozen as seen in the screenshot.

I will look for another project to run,
Thanks Mike!
Jeff

Mike,
Reinstalled the sample and ran the sample thru the TNG export,
cleared on output just fine.

The FH popup message box as earlier for File path: T:\SFG2023-RM\ANC2023RM_media\La-Ferrière-ANC.jpg
was not there this time. My projects and the plugins were all ther after reinstall over the top of the old version.

I will follow the next idea...just a sec....

Hi Mike, I did carefully as requested in your last post. ran the plugin again and I get this LUA error, plus the screenshot below it ===> [string "C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Historian\Pl..."]:6832: fhConvertUTF8toANSI - String conversion failed stack traceback: [C]: in function 'fhConvertUTF8t...

Thanks Mike
I will let you know how that proceeds...
Jeff

Hi Mike,
Here you go ==> La-Ferrière-ANC.jpg

and

Family Historian (Windows) version 7.0.18

Jeff

Hi Mike!
I did as requested in your last post,
and understand what you pointing out as FH is the best of all worlds.
These are the screenshots i got.
Thanks again,
Jeff

Mike, It seems like RM is more cleaner of a import following the guidelines. It seemed like i was missing some of my source, citation links and photos when i tried RM from Ancestry online sync, but I will try again....... maybe a RM Gedcom to FH import might be worth a try. Let me know if there is a...
