Export Gedcom File - missing census

Post by rfield » 07 Mar 2016 16:55

Hi Mike,

I just noticed something odd.
I was looking at my main TNG site which I just switched over to using FH as the source and noticed an individual missing the media for the 1841 UK census on his fact. The image was there for the source record.
The more I looked I found that everyone that has an 1841 or 1851 UK Census fact is missing the media (media is attached to the source though).
The 1861 UK census does show up correctly on the individual and source.
I'm still checking on other years.

Next I checked the gedcom and the media object is missing.

I used AS to add these using M1 and everything appears correctly in FH (6.1.4) Export Gedcom File ver. 2.5

Usually using AS Method 1 the Media is only ever attached to the Source record - that is the definition of Method 1.

What makes you think Media is attached to the Census Event in FH?
Are you by any chance using the Facts tab new Media button?
If so, and Source Media option is ticked, then it will show Media attached to Source record cited by Event, but that Media is NOT directly linked to the Event, and so will not appear there in GEDCOM nor TNG.

That might be it Mike.

I've been working through all my sources and redoing them using AS.
I've finished 1841, 1851 and some 1861.

I did notice that the media was only attached to the source which is fine and makes sense.
When I upgraded to 6.1.4 (Sunday) I noticed that media now appears beside all the Facts in the property window.
I did check the media links in FH and the media only has a link to the Source.
I also noticed the check boxes for source and citation media and that by default they're both checked.

I think this is an issue with the upgrade and the new features (me).

Thanks Mike.
