* Ancestral Sources path file for images

[Ian_Haynes]

Brilliant program have used it for years.
I have come across the following and wonder if it is a known problem.
•The paths to media/image folders that Ancestral Sources remembers are now saved to a file within the project folder - ASProjectOptions.xml file.
I have tried this out as I have many trees working side by side. So far I have found that if you change from one tree to another then you need to rechoose where the image you are linking to is stored. It seems to default to the last known folder.
To make this clearer if I have family tree [a] loaded and point to the folder for the 1841 census it always remembers that next time, but if I now load family tree and now direct this to a different folder for the 1841 census when I reload family [a] it now points to the folder for family tree for the 1841 census.
I have tried removing the stored census details in the registry but this has no effect it just means that when the ASProjectOptions.xml is created it is without the full information that was originally held.

It seems as if the ASProjectOptions.xml file paths per Project work OK for Marriage, and Baptism, and Census (with no Census Year chosen) when using Add/View Images.

BUT when the Census Year is chosen, then Add/View Images is not using the ASProjectOptions.xml file correctly.
I would need to do some more testing to check what is going on.
It seems to pick up the 'Census Image Paths' for 'UK_1841' thru' 'UK_1881' but not 'UK_1891' thur' 'UK_1911'.
However, the saved ASProjectOptions.xml file after closing AS does not match the paths used, and 'UK_1851' is missing.

Sorry about that Ian I'll take a look at this later. I am expecting to release an update to fix a handful of issues fairly soon so I'll obviously try to fix this at the same time.

3000 census entries! Unbelievable!

OK I believe I've worked out what went wrong here. I wonder if Ian and Mike you could email me a copy of your ASProjectOptions.XML just so I can check something?
