  • File/Database storage

    I noticed that when I linked a photo to a person's facts and then looked at its properties I saw that its details still point to it's original location on my PC.

    Naively I had assumed that when photos were linked to a person they were then subsumed into the FTM file; as it is it appears that I have to make sure I save my photos separately and not move them on the PC as the links will be broken.


    Have I missed a setting that ensure that all the database is automatically linked and saved to one place?

    When you add a media item you have the option to copy the file to the media folder for your tree, or to link to wherever the file is stored on your computer.
    I always add to media folder.
