Philip. Lorna has explained this perfectly well and the differences are well documented but let me try to simplify. All Media is LINKED to FH a link is all Gedcom can support. If your media is within the FH Project folder it will be backed up using full backup, if it exists elsewhere on your comput...

You need to be clear about the difference between a Media File and a Media Record . The Media File is usually an image file, such as a JPG or TIF file. If this file is held within the Media folder of your FH project it will be included in a full backup. If it is held outside the project it will not...

Good evening I am familiar with the concept of Linking or Inserting media into Family Historian. If a Media item is "Inserted from File" is it included in full backup and an item "Linked to Existing Media Record" is not included in a full backup but saved in the Media file which would make a full ba...

Thanks Mike.

FH Project is one Onedrive - setting is as advised. As you say we discussed this some time ago.

I changed the name of the file you recommended and all works well.

Do I need to delete the file "Reiflan Tree-Desktop 54FRJG8"?

Philip

Thanks Mike - I will try this in the morning

Do I need to look at that advice from John.

Hello Mike I have read thru the FHUG Knowledge article and believe that I was OK to load FH7 onto this computer as no Query report etc setting have been altered. As I am now only using one computer (Laptop) I have not synced theData and Media files. My update files are in the link (previously advise...

Good Afternoon - Australian time!! I have just purchased a new laptop and want to migrate FH7 to the new device. My Media and Project files are one OneDrive which is already on the new machine. My Backup folder is also one OneDrive. I have not yet loaded FH7 onto the new machine. I was advised, by M...

Thanks Mike.

I will start a new topic when the new machine arrives.

Hi Mike - me again The two other screenshots are attached. I am about to purchase a new laptop that will replace the Desktop and Laptop that we currently have - downsizing to a smaller property- so will not have need of Sync but I think that you previously advised that I would be better off still ba...

Hi Mike Thank you for that information - there are a couple of points I wish to clarify. Media Query In the "Media Record query" snapshot I have attached does the Title name and the File name need to be the same or can the Title be a convenient and/or meaningful name of the media? I think I misunder...

Hi Mike I have completed, at this stage, the organization of my media. Currently the media is in the Media file in two subfolders Photos and Documents. There are no broken links. I am using the file name format "Surname-Initials-DOB- Subject matter" with my media but want to add a married name to th...

Hello Mike - thanks for getting back to me. I thought that by changing the name in File Media in the Media Record that the file name in the Media File was also altered - I was wrong - thanks for the clarification. There is no way they will link to the project because there is no match between the Me...

<t>Hi Mike<br/> <br/> I am still having problems with my Media - I decided to tidy up my media file names which I did in media. I now find that all my media files are unlinked and have not been repaired using the Auto Repair Link.<br/> <br/> I have attached the following three screenshots:<br/> <br/...

I have re-installed the program on the Laptop and the indication is that it is only there once.

I will let you know how it goes over the next couple of days.

Philip

I think that when I installed FH onto the laptop I may have done it twice!!

FH has been uninstalled on the Laptop - I am doing a restart then re-installing FH.

I will let you know how it goes.

Philip

When I close FH on the laptop I have to do it twice!!

Philip

Currently I am working on the Desktop and ensure that OneDrive has completed the Sync. When I was getting the "Modified...…"dialogue box the other computer was turned off. I only seem to get that dialogue box on the laptop. I use the Trend Micro Security Software on both computers. The only other pr...

Hi Mike I am still having problems - I am at a stage where I wonder if it is worth syncing and only operating the program on one computer. If I decide not to Sync to I need to uninstall FH7 on the computer I will not be using? I am being very conscience of opening FH more than once on a device while...

Mike

I will check that and let you know how I go.

Philip

Hi Mike
I am currently working on the Desktop and have not used the laptop for 24 hours and am still getting the same Dialogue Box.

When hovering on the FH icon on the task bar I have the program in twice - unfortunately can't get a screenshot.

Philip

Thanks Mike

I recon that is where the problem is - I will keep an eye on Onedrive to ensure that the updating is completed. By hitting the save button on a regular basis should also help.

Thanks
Philip

Hi Mike My Internet speed is Download - 111.7 Mpbs and Upload 60.2 Mpbs but my devices are aging!! At that time I was working on the Desktop and - I think - the Laptop was on sleep mode. Should I keep both devices open at all time to accept the updating of the data in FH? I will keep an eye on this ...

Hi Mike

Just a quick one - I am getting this Dialogue Box up when I an entering data into FH7. Should this be happening?

Should I click on Yes or No?
