GEDCOM doesn't transfer images?
« on: April 01, 2025, 20:29:43 »
I'm having trouble transferring my media files on my FTM 2014.1 from my desktop computer to the new laptop I just bought.  I have all my census records, photographs, obits, etc. in .jpg format, but they are not downloading into my new laptop.   I can't believe that MacKiev would sell a program that doesn't allow everything on my FTM to be loaded onto a thumbdrive, and easily transferred to another computer.   If I were the CEO of a geneology software company, I would tell a prospective software writer, I want a software program that transfers everything without hassle, and if you can do this, we'll shake hands and you've got a job.  If you can't do this, then turn around, and walk out the door, because you're just wasting my time.  Seriously, is there a way getting around the flaws in MacKiev's FTM software?

Why are you posting on our forum ?
There is no link here with FTM.

We don't sell any software.

GEDCOM is a text file.
If you want transfer the images, copy them manually from your old computer to your new one.
