Source images in Family Tree CD

Post by oraura » 23 Nov 2006 22:16

When using 'Make a Family Tree CD' is it possible to build in links from source citations to source pictures for those sources that have a picture object? So far I have only managed to get source pictures onto the CD by doing the following on the Sources tab of the subsequent 'Report Options' dialog. Check 'Show Source Pictures' (and I had to set 'Picture Width' to 30' for the images to become close to their original size). Such images were still slightly  degraded but, as they were all side-by-side at the head of a source list, it was not a good result. Do I need to do some editing of the html created by FH? Any help would be most appreciated.

There is a wish list item for this you might like to vote for to allow 'Large' versions to be clicked on from the thumbnails.


For now you may need to do a manual change. I suspect you could do some sort of global search and replace to add links to larger versions over the photos, but have not tried it myself.

Thanks for the information; I've now voted ... meanwhile it's time to get my head in the HTML Bible!
