* Media

[Johnwrosser]

When attaching media to an individual in my tree, I find that 'insert from file' goes anywhere but to my 'downloads' to find the photo, etc.? Not only that but it adds a date of it's own?

John, you have asked this question before. See Uploading media (21265) The topic got quite long, but the short answer was that FH remembers the last folder used. However, as Mike said in one of his posts,

if you import/export data other than Media (such as Export GEDCOM File) then FH may remember that folder.
i.e. FH tends to remember whatever folder you used last for any import or export operation for any type of data whether that is a Media file, Query file, GEDCOM file, etc.

Regarding the date, FH is probably copying it from the image itself. Use Tools>Preferences>Media>When adding Media Files to Project.. and untick Copy Image Values to the Media Record.

Thank you Lorna, it must be my age.... forgetting what I've asked before! However thank you for the date advice.
