Images and relative addressing
Posted: 29 Nov 2009 18:07
I had a lot of issues with images in my project folder which was caused by absolute addressing. This arose when I bought a laptop and the directory structures to the Project folders was slightly different between the laptop and the desktop. All the images are in the Media folder in a logical structure so a quick remap in FH4 sorted out the need to remap every time I synchronised the two computers.
Now GC6 cannot see the images. It knows they are there by name, presumably because I have added them in FH4, ready to be logged. I can attach the file using GC6 (I guess it is reading this from the gedcom) but cannot view the image presumably because it now does not know the root of the relative structure.
Luckily I have a dual monitor desktop so can run FH4 in one side and GC6 on the other and can therefore view the census image in FH4.
Is there a fix/hack I can use so that GC6 can see the images properly without going back to absolute addresses? I did try pointing GC to the image but ended up with double entries, my relative addressed and GC's absolute addressed.
